my crossing

last saturday night, my officemates at the manila times language institute invited me to watch this movie starred by uma thurman and bryan greenberg, prime.

it's a hilarious yet romantic  movie with some twist on the story. super kinilig sa kagwapuhan ang mga kasama ko kay bryan, who is undoubtly a hunk. well, simple lang namn kase ang story naging complicated nga lang because ung shrink ni uma thurman happens to be the mother of her lover in which she was not aware of.

relaxing kase u don't really have to think hard in the movie. u just simply watch it and then laugh to some scenes. to top it all, ok lang kesa walang magawa ng sat night. hehe

 

i went to my friend's house last night. she threw some sort of a get together dinner for everyone who has been her friends way back since highschool.

it was wacky and full of fun, tuksuhan, kulitan and asaran. hayyy..how time flies, almost all of them have their own family na. konti na lang ata kmi that remains single and most of us are women pa. a male friend nga even asked us why we are not yet getting married. we're all in the right age na naman daw and all of us have careers to be proud of. well, my answer was simply because i haven't found the right one yet and he answered me back na baka naman daw kase ang taas ng standard ko in a guy, to which im guilty of. i dunno but somehow with all the men that i've dated with, only few have reached that level of my satisfaction in the qualities of a partner that im looking for. somehow, i was also thinking siguro nga im just looking for too much. baka nga pwede naman to settle for some qualities na lang and to find them all in a guy in the long run would just be a bonus and it requires hard work and prayer. hehehe

anyway, we just talked all throughout the night. we finished i think around 5 am na. it was like pumasok din ako ng night shift but it was worth it naman. was able to reminisce with them the old times and how far we've become after all those years.

i only hope that the next time we meet again, lahat kami me partner na and happily married. :)

i was supposed to be happy kase wala kame pasok tonight till tomorrow so we'll be reporting pa on monday night. then on monday naman, we also dnt have any classes here sa manila times so sarap talaga kase todo bakasyon.

im already planning ahead of the things i have to do this coming weekend. well, aside from the fact that i needed to attend to my classes, parang gusto ko rin manood ng movie then magpa body spa...i might do that nga, hopefully d ako tamarin. hehe

anyways, tomorrow we're going to my highshcool friend's house. she and her husband just got back from the US and is planning to spend here the upcoming holidays. im sure kwentuhan to the max yun kase naman it's been quite awhile since the last time we saw each other. it's been ages na rin coz we've all been busy with our own careers plus of course the fact na sa US na siya nakatira...im looking forward to that get together tomorrow evening, buti na lang talaga wala kami pasok, we have enough time to bond.

anyways, kaya ang title ng post is nakakainis is because of this guy (yeah, u read it right another guy) :P...he was a long lost and found textmate actually. it's been years na rin since the last time nakita ko siya and so now he wants to see me again but the problem is everytime we would set a date to meet, laging nagkaka problem siya resulting sa hindi niya pagsipot sa supposed to be date namin. so sa inis ko, i ignored all his messages. binura ko na ung chance or possibility na mgkaroon ng romantic relationship with him kase he kept on telling me that  he likes me, but i need proof di ba, he needs to do something to show his sincerity. i mean, u can't just simply say that in text. been there and done that before and i know how things usually goes with that kind of "relationship" if that can be called as one. so anyways, for awhile he stopped but then when he saw me just today online, nangulit na naman. actually, gusto ko na agad siya supladahan but i kept my cool. i waited for the right timing to confront him why he's acting like that and then he asked me again to go out with him. so i told him frankly na ayaw ko na, and ang sagot ba naman eh sige kung ayaw mo, bye. whoaaaa..what the f*ck. dnt get me wrong peeps, it's not that im mad kase d na matutuloy ung date or nbawasan ng isa ung mga prospect ko but the thing there is, ganun na ba talga ang mga guys ngayon? wala na tlagang ka effort effort..hay naku, good thing na rin ngayon pa lang nalaman ko na ugali niya, at least d na kami magaaksaya ng panahon pa. hehe  

nga pala, i want to watch prime sana kaya lang ala naman ako kasama. ung buddy ko naman siguro hanggang ngayon naghihilik pa kase rest day niya at baka bumabawi pa sa tulog.

hay, sige till here na lang muna tong post ko.

one of tmtli's student invited me to attend the bazaar at the makati sports club last saturday and sunday. i was supposed to be with leslie but i ended up texting jerome to accompany me since he live nearby. leslie had to go to their house in marikina for an important matter that day. while on our way to the place, i told my buddy about one of my friend's predicament. since he's also a man, i wanna see how he would react to the situation. 

it's like this kase. my friend got a girl pregnant. he only found that out after a month they've been separated. now, he is doubtful if the child is really his. and the last resort would be to wait till the child is born then perform some sort of a DNA test. but while waiting, the girl's lawyer sent him a demand letter asking him to provide 50k for the delivery and then 10k every month for the financial support since he refused to marry the girl. it's not because he is shying away from the responsibilty but for the simple reason that he doesnt love her anymore. now, what the woman did was a smart move but wouldn't it result to carrying the guilt forever if it's not really my friend's baby and he even told me that the blackmail thing she did just only added to his disliking/despising the girl. he said, maybe she thought she could use the child as a reason for him to stay.

with that story my buddy also admitted that almost the same thing happened to him way back but thank goodness he said coz it was not conceived. i've come to a conclusion how men sometimes learn their lessons the hard way. why can't they just simply wait till they get married..argghhhhh..men..men...i can't say much.

 

 

this week had been like a roller coaster for me. i needed to fix a lot of things and come up with some decision making. but to top it all, my week went just perfectly fine with some surprises that came along the way.

hmmm..how do i go about my top story nga ba?

ok, it's like this. this guy who i met like almost 2 years ago suddenly made me feel his presence again. he explained to me why he suddenly just disappeared after telling me how much he likes me. for some reasons, he had to leave me like that daw kase nahihiya sya saken at wala pa siyang maaaring maipagmalaki unlike now that he is financially stable na, kaya he made some move to contact me again. well, i was surprised of course but also felt somehow doubtful if his intentions are really in good faith. that still remains to be seen. he's planning to take his vacation here next year of march, i just dunno if that will push through but tentatively that is. he wants to see me again and is asking me if im ready to give him another chance for a relationship. honestly, it is quite hard to tell coz i really need to figure out first his true feelings for me. many things have already changed and i dunno if i would still feel the same way like i did the last time i saw him. well, he called me awhile ago and he'll be sending his picture para maalala ko ulet sya. hehehe

 

 

if i cud ask God 1 thing
it would be
"are you destined for me?"
if he says yes
then i'll love you even more!
if he says no
then ill continue to love you
'till i can make him agree
that we are really meant to be..

 

 

Call it coincidence or whatever but the other day when I met my friend, we talked about not only her married life but my single life as well, so I shared with her some interesting highlights in my life in the past few months. That included this “one day stand” that I had with a stranger…ooopppssss.. hold your breath people, before you react into something, please make sure that you read first the entire story behind it. Actually, this is one secret I’ve been trying to keep but since this was all in the past now and after satisfying my curiosity, I decided to just write everything here.
 
This happened in the latter part of July and early part of August this year. It was one lazy Sunday morning, I was at our TMTLI’s branch in Pampanga. Since it was still quite early then and no student was showing up yet, I decided to open my YM thru e-messenger, because we are not allowed to access yahoo chat, I just kept myself satisfied to what e-messenger can do for me, anyways, it’s better than doing nothing at all. Silence in the room scares me. Anyway. this e-thing will not actually allow you to enter in a chat room and those that you can exchange messages with are those that’s just on line and part of your friend’s list and vice versa. For some reasons, I don’t know how on earth it happened, but a message just popped up in my screen from an unfamiliar yahoo id. Out of curiosity, I replied back and that’s where it all started. I found out, based on what he typed in, he’s in early thirties, single and VP of a law firm located in makati…quite impressive, that’s what first got into my mind but since I was only chatting with him, I was not that confident that those informations were all true. But as our chatting progressed I became interested because we discovered a lot of commonalities in each other. We talk almost the same, in manners and ways. We had a nice chat and that was I guess enough reason for him then to give his number to me ( actually baliktad eh, it is usually the guy that would ask for my number and tatawag saken) but on his case, siya daw ang I-text ko so he can see my number. He said he promised not to reply,he just so wanted to get my number and save it.  Nahihiya daw kase siya na mag text because d niya daw alam how to introduce himself knowing sa chat lang nga kami nagkakilala. O di ba ganda ng katwiran niya, hehehe. So para lang mapagbigyan, what I did was while we were still chatting, I texted him agad without putting my name on it. So I asked him if he received a message, then he said he has to get it pa sa bedroom niya. I said ok, and then after awhile I got a text from him. So I teased him why he replied and he said he can’t help no to. Oh well, knowing men they would really make you feel kilig to the highest level, hehe. We ended the conversation because I had to attend to my students na and on his part, he’s going to attend a mass pa daw. Actually, that added to my liking him knowing na he’s God fearing kase he practices Sunday mass.
 
I waited the entire day for a text from him but I ended up disappointed. So, I told myself forget prince charming and go back to the real world. What happened that morning was just one of those and that was not a guarantee it will end up like what I expected it to be.
The following day, while still half asleep in bed I got a text message from him. Nagising akong bigla and d makapaniwala. It was just a simple morning greeting but ewan ko ba, super kinilig agad ako. Maybe because all along, I was waiting for a message from him. So, I replied and yun na, marathon text na ang nangyari only to find out he was driving pala. So, syempre concerned naman ako and di ba bawal mag text while driving, I told him to text me na lang once he arrives at his office, aba eh sabi ba naman, “ it’s ok don’t worry because my car is automatic” eh with that reply, what more can I say di ba. Perhaps, at some point you would find it mayabang ang dating, but for him he was just stating a fact and that was entirely different from bragging. Whatever, sa klase ng personalidad niya, na tipong straight forward and all, base sa mga text niya ha, parang gusto ko ng maniwala na he must really be somebody talaga. So, he told me then he will stop texting me na muna, only if I will allow him to just call me na lang, whoa! What the! Super kilig talaga ako, my Gosh eh sa lahat pa naman ng gusto ko sa isang guy yun bang tipong intellectually stimulating, masarap kausap and someone who knows the importance of communication. And so he called. God only knows the kind of man I am dreaming of and on that day, I just wished right there and then, he is already the one God has prepared for me. I can’t explain the kind of magical feeling that we both felt that time. We discovered a lot of special interests. We just ended the call because he needs to get inside na the elevator up to his floor. To borrow his own words nga, “ it’s as if I’m talking to myself. the way you responded to my messages, that’s the same thing I was thinking.”.  He himself was amazed with the connection and as to how we were able to relate with each other’s thoughts and ideas.
 

From then on, we can no longer get rid off each other. Almost every minute I receive a text from him. Because of his excitement, on that same day he sent me his picture through mms and in return I sent mine as well. We both agreed that we should be honest enough to admit and tell each other the truth should in case we don’t get to like what we're gonna be seeing. It was a fair deal, but he did not opened his email right away. He told me he’s going to check it na lang later in the evening pagdating niya sa house nila. So, of course kinabahan ako. Feeling ko siguro nakita na niya ung pic ko and he just doesn’t want me to feel bad with his reaction. On my part naman, when I saw his, it was a mixed emotion. Natawa ako kase it was really taken inside a room, sabi niya sa room niya sa office yun, which I think is partly true naman kase he was sitting on a swivel chair and he was wearing a barong..hahaha..and I still recall when he told me na he was feeling stupid that time kase he has to lock his door  so that nobody would enter and see him picturing himself, dahil kapag nagkataon, di niya daw alam kung paano sasabihin sa secretary niya or sa makakakita sa kanya ang dahilan why he is taking a picture, eh baka daw tawanan pa siya lalo na kapag nalaman na ipapadala niya sa ka text niya lang, baka di na daw siya igalang..hahaha..He looks old na nga pero he looks good. He is Spanish mestizo kase, and he has a resemblance of edu manzano. He looks intimidating actually, given by his physical looks and not to mention his status in life, if ever nga na VP siya talaga ha. 

to be continued...

I had my lunch with a girlfriend yesterday. It’s been quite sometime since the last time we talked. She used to be an officemate but for some health reasons, she resigned and applied in a different company, almost of the same nature of work but with a better schedule. Now, she’s working in one of the biggest telecom company.

Actually, baket nga ba kami nagkita, well aside from the fact na medyo matagal na rin kami nung huling magkita, she shared something rin kase tungkol sa nangyari sa kanyang married life. Yes, she is already  married and it all happened because of a simple pagpapakilala ko sa kanilang dalawa ng husband nya ngayon..errrr..estrange husband na actually. Let me share the background para mas malinaw ang kwento.

It all started when i was given a phone number by my housemate, I was still sharing then an apartment with some of my used to be my officemates where I first worked as an accounting assistant. To cut it short, naging constant caller ko ung guy and textmate. Pero sa pag-uusap pa lang namin, I sensed something wrong na with him, the way he talks and all. He kept on insisting na kaboses ko ung ex nya, or baka daw kilala ko ung ex nya, something like that. Eh I already told him where I got his number, he was still doubtful kahit na nga kilala nya ung friend ko na nagbigay ng number nya. That’s where I find him kinda weird. What is it with his ex that makes him sound angry or bitter kapag binabanggit nya. But because my friend convinced me na ok naman daw ung guy kase kilala nya somehow, I was assured. After a couple of calls and texts, he already insisted on meeting me personally. Since, I find no wrong naman in meeting him,para d na rin tumagal, anyways, that’s where it will lead us in the long run, ung magkita, I decided to meet him before I report for work. But I was really nervous that time, d ako sanay eh so what I did was I texted my officemate and told her I was about to meet someone, if she could accompany me and she said ok naman. In fairness to the guy, I told him naman na me kasama ako, un nga lang it was too late na when I informed him kase andun na sya sa area nung sinabi ko, hehehe. So, we decided to meet sa Starbucks Shangri la and kinda ironic because it was my officemate who first saw him when I told her the description based on his text that I showed to her. So, she was the one who approached him. Since our office then was still situated in SMPC ortigas, inihatid nya muna kami sa office to drop our things and we invited another friend to accompany us. We ended up having coffee at Starbucks Megamall. Before that night ended, I was already teasing my friend to him. Kase pareho silang taga batangas so they have something in common and aside from that,feeling ko lang mas bagay sila. So, I gave her number to him, of course with her consent and right there and then, alam ko na agad, d ko na magiging textmate ung guy. Hehehe

True enough, after a week or so, my friend confirmed they were already going out which is ok lang sa aken and I was even happy for them. But of course, ung worry ko na I dnt know the guy that much, that bothered me kaya lang d ko masabi sa friend ko so I just crossed my finger na sana maging ok naman lahat, besides my friend is old enough naman na to take care of herself. Not long enough, she resigned na from work so nawalan kami ng communication for awhile. Until one day, she called me to let me know they’re married na sa civil pa nga lang and that they’re planning to have a church wedding come December of that year, but she doesn’t sound happy. She even sound wretched so I asked her why, then she decided to tell me the whole story. That they are having marital problems such as this and that. And that nagsisisi na sya sa pagpapakasal sa guy. I felt sad because somehow I was a part of the reason why she met him. to think na mga more than a year pa lang  sila magkakilala and few motnhs pa lang sila nagsasama as husband and wife. May attitude problem daw kase ung guy. The first time we met nung friend ko,after she resigned fr work, it was the same place where we all met actually, sa Starbucks Megamall, she was almost crying in disappointment to what had happened in the relationship. I couldn’t help but feel sad pero ala ako magawa. I told her not to pursue na lang the church wedding kase gagastos pa but naka set na daw lahat and kahiyaan na. Actually, I asked her the reason why they got married sa civil in the first place. At first I thought she was preganant, d naman pala. Sabi nya, they started to live in na daw kase and when their parents found out, ayun sinabi sa kanila na gawin na lang nilang legal ang pagsasama since they are both adults na. The guy that time was 28 and my friend was 24. So, kahit d sure ung friend ko if she’s ready to get married since mahal naman daw nya ung guy, nagpakasal sila sa huwes. Hayyyyyyy

It was actually just last week when I got the chance to browse my friendster and I saw her status d na married, instead single na so I emailed her and asked her what happened. Un nga daw, after trying to reconcile for 2 times, they both agreed to part ways na. Nagsinungaling daw kase ung guy and ayaw umamin kahit buko na. He was not yet over with his ex. He’s still bitter with what happened and kahit kasal na sila, the guy is still not responsible. It was only later that he found out, he’s not a husband material at all. Tsk tsk

Unfortunately, d ako naging magaling na kupido. Sabi nga nung friend ko, Sol madaling magpakasal pero for the marriage to work out, un ang mahirap. Sabi nya, ang sarap daw ng single, u have the freedom and all. U can do anything u want and sabi nya mas masaya at magaan ang pakiramdam nya now that she is living like a single again.

So, who says I wanna get married soon eh? Am 27 and still counting…hehehe
