Undeniably, I love geeks, more so engineers. So it's not a surprise that my new boypren is Grant Imahara. He's not my boyfriend, ok? But I am majorly crushing on him. MAJOR! MAJOR! Grant is one of the hosts of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters. He is an electrical engineer by profession. He worked by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic. He was part of the teams that made The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Van Helsing, The Matrix Reloaded, and Revolutions, among others. And he's one of the few people who operates R2D2. Yup, the robot in the Star Wars movies. Aaand... he engineered the custom circuit of the Energizer Bunny's arms. AMAZING, right?! Plus he has written a book about building robots and he made his own champion robot, the Deadblow. And did I already mention he's a host of Mythbusters, the best geek/nerd show on TV?! I know I mentioned it already, I just had to say it again. :P He is the ultimate geek. LOOOOVE! I'd marry Grant in a heartbeat. Even if he is a impotent, has violent tendecies, or is…

Podcast 5: Why Geeks Make Good Lovers
Since high school, I have already been surrounded by geeks. Went to a geeky high school. Took up a geeky course in college. Now working with geeky people in a very geeky industry. I do find geeks attractive. Even as a kid, I wanted to meet and date a guy with an IQ higher than mine. And I find smart guys fascinating, engaging, and interesting. I recently blogged that I am attracted to lawyers and engineers because I find them to be smart and geeky enough for me. But what exactly makes geeks good lovers? Do other people also find them attractive? I turned to two blog posts from Awkward Things I Say to Girls and from Wired by Regina Lynn as references to discuss why geeks would make good lovers. (The audio at the start of the podcast is weird for I don't know what reason but it gets better at around 3:00. Apologies.) You may download at this LINK. The topic is courtesy of my high school batchmate, Mae Cabahug, MD with input from a Plurk friend. I hope you found it as interesting as I did. It's a bit longer than my past podcasts though. Reactions, suggestions,…
Wanted: Lawyer, Engineer, or Basketball Player
If you have been reading this blog, listening to my podcasts, and following me in micro blogs and SNS, you probably know a lot about me already. I am single. Not actively seeking for a boyfriend, but hoping for a new adventure. I am not looking for anybody specific, but somebody I can spend days and night conversing with. Somebody interesting and willing to do stuff together, go to new places, experience new things. Somebody who will encourage and inspire me to do better. Somebody I can nurture and take care of. Three years ago, I wrote a list of qualifications for the guy(s) I would date or be in a relationship with. Back then I have not had any boyfriends or ex-es, only almost and not quite relationships. Some of those items in the list have changed, some remain true til this day. Right now, I have a special place in my heart for guys in these three professions: lawyers, engineers, and basketball players. Lawyers are usually great speakers and decent writers who are interested (or at least obliged to know about) current events and the news. If find these guys intellectually stimulating and very challenging and interesting to…
