Podcast 6: Being Friends with the Ex

This is the podcast where I bash all my exes. NOT! Are you friends with your ex? I am. Find out how I manage to be friends with the cause of the biggest heartbreaks in my life. I talk about being friends, how to be friends, and other subtopics that were asked or suggested by different people. This is my longest and most stressful podcast yet. I wasn't stressed out by the topic but by the editing I had to do. LOL! Listen as I talk about being friends with my exes and how you can maybe also be friends with yours... Apologies for the looong recording. Hope you were able to finish it. Agree? Disagree? Post your comments below. :) Credits to the exes who gave me ammunition for this podcast. :P Thank you to the people who contributed: Ate Joanna, Reissa, Ate Dominique, Poyty, Orman, Jesse, Donna, Steph M, Tiara, Massa P, Rastapopulous, Sparkeh, and anonymous! :) Sound clips from Star Cinema's One More Chance and Phil Collins' Separate Lives.

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,…

Podcast 4: Friends to Lovers?

By request from Vanjohnn Mendoza, a young blogger from Cebu, my podcast is all about friendships and how these turn into romantic relationships. In this episode, I talk about how the media influences our ideas about this, how some people can get the wrong idea about their friends of the opposite sex, mixed signals, friendship as a foundation of a romantic relationship, and more. Listen as I try to make sense of a very interesting but complicated issue... To download this podcast, right click, and pick “Save link as…”: LINK. Here's a link to my "For All the Meantime Girls" article on SunStar. Do you agree or disagree? Do I even make sense? Thank you to Jam, Chattee, Poyty, Donna, Christian, Dulce, and Sparky for suggestions and input! :) Photo of Lyle Santos and Brendel Balaga courtesy of Chattee.
