My intoxication has just subsided as I write this. But expect rage and angst. I read this Bob Ong quote in the signature line of an email message I received: "Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap nasa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka." - Bob Ong Translation: The hard part of being alone is not in sadness or fear, but in the realization that among the many billion people in this world, nobody fought to be with you. Duuuude, that hurt! A LOT! OUCH! YAYAY! And you know why it hurts? Because it's true. FUCK THAT SHIT! While I am mostly happy with my life (great career, supportive family, and fun friends), I sometimes ask myself why the eff am I alone? Why is it no guy seems to think I am good enough for them to love me and take care of me? Am I that bad? At the risk of sounding narcissistic and mayabang, I think not. I mean, come on, I know I have a reputation for being a mean, aggressive girl that's too much to handle, but dammit I am a good girlfriend. Ask the fucktards…

Haven’t Met You Yet
One of the songs on Kuya Andrew's car playlist is Michael Buble's Haven't Met You Yet. I'm a fan of Buble and I have been wanting to download this song. I fell more in love with the song after Kuya and Ate Joanna sang it on videoke night. I love the lyrics of the song. So optimistic. :) Haven't Met You Yet Michael Buble I'm Not Surprised Not Everything Lasts Have Broken My Heart So Many Times, I Stopped Keepin Track. Talk Myself In I Talk Myself Out I Get All Worked Up Then I Let Myself Down.

Why Do You Love?
I saw two trailers of Muli (The Affair) by awarded indie filmmaker, Adolf Alix featuring Sid Lucero and Cogie Domingo. It's about two men falling in love and about how their love story transpires through time. I have not seen the film, and some people might be iffy to watch it. But the first scene of this trailer spoke to me... Sid: Bakit kasi tayo naghahanap ng pareha? Eh kaya natin mag-isa? Para may mag-aalaga sa atin? Cogie: Naghahanap tayo ng kapareha para mahalin natin. Para hindi natin maramdaman ang lungkot. English Translation: Sid: Why do we look for a partner when we can survive even when we're alone? So that there would be somebody to take care of us? Cogie: We look for a partner so we could love him So we won't feel the loneliness. Through all the frustrations, pains of heartbreaks and heartaches, dating the wrong people, investing emotions on the wrong people, crushed hopes and dreams, jaded views of love and marriage, there's still a part of me that yearns for a partner. And it's not because I want to be kilig all the time. Relationships are hardwork, I tell you. But because through all the…
Podcast 2: Open Relationships

Seven Things to Do When You’re In a Relationship
...with Kim Sam Soon :) I have been obsessing over the Korean Drama "My Name is Kim Sam Soon." I already liked it when I was able to watch a few episodes when it aired on the local channel GMA 7. But I wasn't able to watch everything. Thanks to the magic of the internet and my Kdrama expert friend Brendel, I am now watching the complete series, with two episodes to go. I am loving every moment of it, except the scenes with Yoo Hee Jin and Doctor Henry Kim. Pft! Otherwise, I love it. <3 In Episode 14, Kim Sam Soon and Sam Shik finally dates, FOR REAL! And Sam Soon tells Sam Shik they should do seven things as a couple. Here's her list... #7 Shopping while holding hands. #6 Photo of Sam Soon's boyfriend on her phone. #5 Take a train ride while drinking beer on the way to Pusan. #4 Say "I love you Kim Hee Jin*" in front of everyone. #3 Get intimate while watching a horror movie. #2 Get couple rings. #1 Introduce each other to their parents as each other's boyfriend/girlfriend. *At this point of the Kdrama, Sam Soon changed her name…
The Greatest Thing
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return." -Moulin Rouge One of my favorite movies is Moulin Rouge. Partly because of the line above. Yes, to love and be loved is the greatest thing one can experience. It is hard to love. It is a daunting thing to accept, understand, nurture, to love a person. It is difficult to choose to be with another person, to make that life a part of who you are, even if you don't have to. Much harder, I think, is to be loved in return. We choose to love. That choice is in our hands. But to be loved in return, that is not something we choose. It it something that the other person chooses for us. To be loved in return is one of the best things one can experience. But no matter how hard you love, how badly you want it to happen, how much you work for it, being loved in return... Is not something you can easily get. That is exactly why it is such a great thing, the best thing to love and be loved in return. Being in the business of…
