100 Best Things About Being Pinoy
spam from a friend…:) something to ponder: read on…..
FROM the 1896 Revolution to the first Philippine Republic, the Commonwealth period, the EDSA Revolt, and the tiger cub economy, history marches on. Thankfully, however, some things never change. Like the classics, things irresistibly Pinoy mark us for life. They're the indelible stamp of our identity, the undeniable affinity that binds us like twins. They celebrate the good in us, the best of our culture and the infinite possibilities we are all capable of. Some are so self-explanatory you only need mention them for fellow Pinoys to swoon or drool. Here, from all over this Centennial-crazed country and in no particular order, are a hundred of the best things that make us unmistakably Pinoy.
-
Merienda. Where else is it normal to eat five times a day? - gluttony, grabe
-
Sawsawan. Assorted sauces that guarantee freedom of choice, enough room for experimentation and maximum tolerance for diverse tastes. Favorites: toyo't calamansi, suka at sili, patis.- teka, di ba ung mga koreans mahilig din sa sawsawan? pati nga halaman sinasawsaw din eh…ung kanin nilalagay sa malamig na tubig…iww.hehehe parang lugaw.
-
Kuwan, ano. At a loss for words? Try these and marvel at how Pinoys understand exactly what you want. - wait a minute…ay oo nga…even if you say si ano….naiintindihan
true! -
Pinoy humor and irreverence. If you're api and you know it, crack a joke. Nothing personal, really. - correct! we can never underestimate the pinoy sense of humor..favorite ko nga si dick ysrael. pag nagpanggap na bading chaka kampangpangan. hehehe.
-
Tingi. Thank goodness for small entrepreneurs. Where else can we buy cigarettes, soap, condiments and life's essentials in small affordable amounts? not to mention naman ang mga pawnshops, 5-6 ganun. pati atm,cp na pede isanla at tingi sa mga addict…piso lang langit na. hahaha.
-
Spirituality. Even before the Spaniards came, ethnic tribes had their own anitos, bathalas and assorted deities, pointing to a strong relationship with the Creator, who or whatever it may be.- I agree. pero pansinin mo sa kulturang pinoy, kung sino palasimba sha pa tsismosa. I cannot!
-
Po, opo, mano po. Speech suffixes that define courtesy, deference, filial respect–a balm to the spirit in these aggressive times.- yeah. I remember nga sa animal planet, they visit the bayawak churva in laguna..everyone was named "MANG"…ang cute.
-
Pasalubong. Our way of sharing the vicarious thrills and delights of a trip, and a wonderful excuse to shop without the customary guilt. - guilty ako dito. I always give pasalubong.
-
Beaches! With 7,000 plus islands, we have miles and miles of shoreline piled high with fine white sand, lapped by warm waters, and nibbled by exotic tropical fish. From the stormy seas of Batanes to the emerald isles of Palawan–over here, life is truly a beach.-truly, maganda ang beaches dito. beach bum ako eh. feeling ko sirena ako nung pastlife ko :-)
-
Bagoong. Darkly mysterious, this smelly fish or shrimp paste typifies the underlying theme of most ethnic foods: disgustingly unhygienic, unbearably stinky and simply irresistible. - naman, with mangga, pakbet, kahit ano. sbe ng pinoy basta mabaho,masarap! pati nga ung "buro, durian", at iba pa.
-
Bayanihan. Yes, the internationally-renowned dance company, but also this habit of pitching in still common in small communities. Just have that cold beer and some pulutan ready for the troops. - i think it should be termed "pakikisama" also. we are good with that. it goes on without saying. pero meron talagang mga taong manhid, makapal ang fez, walang pakiramdam. Its either bobo talaga or nagtatatangahan lang.
-
The Balikbayan box. Another way of sharing life's bounty, no matter if it seems like we're fleeing Pol Pot every time we head home from anywhere in the globe. The most wonderful part is that, more often than not, the contents are carted home to be distributed. - oo naman, truly pinoy. kelangan ipagyabang na ang anak ni ganito ay nsa ganyang bansa. the saudi necklace, the bracelets. so bling bling.
-
Pilipino komiks. Not to mention "Hiwaga," "Aliwan," "Tagalog Classics," "Liwayway" and"Bulaklak" magazines. Pulpy publications that gave us Darna, Facifica Falayfay, Lagalag, Kulafu, Kenkoy, Dyesebel, characters of a time both innocent and worldly.- at nasa telenovela na ito. soshal na.
-
Folk songs. They come unbidden and spring, full blown, like a second language, at the slightest nudge from the too-loud stereo of a passing jeepney or tricycle. - i think its now termed as novelty songs like kanta ni budoy, april boy, aegis. patok sa masang pinoy. not to mention ang mga pelikula ni lito lapid and the like.
-
Fiesta. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow is just another day, shrugs the poor man who, once a year, honors a patron saint with this sumptuous, no-holds-barred spread. It's a Pinoy celebration at its pious and riotous best. - pag fiesta bawal magutom. kain lang ng kain. hanggang maipatso. hehehe. kesehodang mangutang basta me panghanda lang.
-
Aswang, manananggal, kapre. The whole underworld of Filipino lower mythology recalls our uniquely bizarre childhood, that is, before political correctness kicked in. Still, their rich adventures pepper our storytelling. - multo, dwende, sapi, barang…hmp madami pa…madami din mukhang aswang….hahaha pero feeling maganda…..hahaha.
-
Jeepneys. Colorful, fast, reckless, a vehicle of postwar Pinoy ingenuity, this Everyman's communal cadillac makes for a cheap, interesting ride. If the driver's a daredevil (as they usually are), hang on to your seat. - i think I should mention yung pedicab, tricycle and ung tadyak (sa may riles ng blumenttrit at sta. mesa) so pinoy talaga. innovative.
-
Dinuguan. Blood stew, a bloodcurdling idea, until you try it with puto. Best when mined with jalape쨚 peppers. Messy but delicious. favorite. yummy. as well as karekare. nakakagutom. shet.
-
Santacruzan. More than just a beauty contest, this one has religious overtones, a tableau of St. Helena's and Constantine's search for the Cross that seamlessly blends piety, pageantry and ritual. Plus, it's the perfect excuse to show off the prettiest ladies–and the most beautiful gowns. - oops teka, meron din santa cruzan ang mga friendships kong bading….
-
Balut. Unhatched duck's embryo, another unspeakable ethnic food to outsiders, but oh, to indulge in guilty pleasures! Sprinkle some salt and suck out that soup, with gusto. hmm…not to mention penoy, isaw and tenga. yummy.
-
Pakidala. A personalized door-to-door remittance and delivery system for overseas Filipino workers who don't trust the banking system, and who expect a family update from the courier, as well. - enough said.
-
Choc-nut. Crumbly peanut chocolate bars that defined childhood ecstasy before M & M's and Hershey's. - favorite to ni kris aquino. hehehe. i don't like it though, its too sweet. mas gusto ko ata ung wonderboy.
-
Kamayan style. To eat with one's hand and eschew spoon, fork and table manners–ah, heaven. - at least we are free from hepa!
-
Chicharon. Pork, fish or chicken crackling. There is in the crunch a hint of the extravagant, the decadent and the pedestrian. Perfect with vinegar, sublime with beer.-everything is great with vinegar. hehehe
-
Pinoy hospitality. Just about everyone gets a hearty "Kain tayo!" invitation to break bread with whoever has food to share, no matter how skimpy or austere it is. -correct. and we should be proud of it. some of our kababayan take advantage of this trait.
-
Adobo, kare-kare, sinigang and other lutong bahay stuff. Home-cooked meals that have the stamp of approval from several generations, who swear by closely-guarded cooking secrets and family recipes.
-
Lola Basyang. The voice one heard spinning tales over the radio, before movies and television curtailed imagination and defined grown-up tastes.- shempre, meron din ung shake, rattle and roll di ba? ngayon there's sukob,txt and madami pa. and the fx are now improved. indi na mukhang pulbo and tali. hehehe
-
Pambahay. Home is where one can let it all hang out, where clothes do not make a man or woman but rather define their level of comfort. -tsinelas din. me pangbahay at me panglabas. this shows how malinis and masinop we are and how dugyot they can be.
-
Tricycle and trisikad, the poor Pinoy's taxicab that delivers you at your doorstep for as little as PHPesos3.00, with a complimentary dusting of polluted air. - huwell, me fx na din for transport nuh?!
-
Dirty ice cream. Very Pinoy flavors that make up for the risk: munggo, langka, ube, mais, keso, macapuno. Plus there's the colorful cart that recalls jeepney art.- meron bang mungo?? di pa yata ako nakatikim nun…:-(
-
Yayas. The trusted Filipino nanny who, ironically, has become a major Philippine export as overseas contract workers. A good one is almost like a surrogate parent–if you don't mind the accent and the predilection for afternoon soap and movie stars. - hahaha. i grew up with a yaya. kaht nga teenager na ko meron pa din… some yayas di na nakapag asawa. they deserve some merits.
-
Sarsi. Pinoy rootbeer, the enduring taste of childhood. Our grandfathers had them with an egg beaten in. - oo nga. gamot din daw ito sa lbm!
-
Pinoy fruits. Atis, guyabano, chesa, mabolo, lanzones, durian, langka, makopa, dalanghita, siniguelas, suha, chico, papaya, singkamas–the possibilities!
-
Filipino celebrities. Movie stars, broadcasters, beauty queens, public officials, all-around controversial figures: Aurora Pijuan, Cardinal Sin, Carlos P. Romulo, Charito Solis, Cory Aquino, Emilio Aguinaldo, the Eraserheads, Fidel V. Ramos, Francis Magalona, Gloria Diaz, Manuel L. Quezon, Margie Moran, Melanie Marquez, Ninoy Aquino, Nora Aunor, Pitoy Moreno, Ramon Magsysay, Richard Gomez, San Lorenzo Ruiz, Sharon Cuneta, Gemma Cruz, Erap, Tiya Dely, Mel and Jay, Gary V. - Parokya ni Edgar, apl, Manny P. madami pa. countless….
-
World class Pinoys who put us on the global map: Lea Salonga, Paeng Nepomuceno, Eugene Torre, Luisito Espinosa, Lydia de Vega-Mercado, Jocelyn Enriquez, Elma Muros, Onyok Velasco, Efren "Bata" Reyes, Lilia Calderon-Clemente, Loida Nicolas-Lewis, Josie Natori.
-
Pinoy tastes. A dietitian's nightmare: too sweet, too salty, too fatty, as in burong talangka, itlog na maalat, crab fat (aligue), bokayo, kutchinta, sapin-sapin, halo-halo, pastilyas, palitaw, pulburon, longganisa, tuyo, ensaymada, ube haleya, sweetened macapuno and garbanzos. Remember, we're the guys who put sugar (horrors) in our spaghetti sauce. Yum! - at least ang pinoy di mukhang elepante pag tumaba.
-
The sights. Banaue Rice Terraces, Boracay, Bohol's Chocolate Hills, Corregidor Island, Fort Santiago, the Hundred Islands, the Las Pi?s Bamboo Organ, Rizal Park, Mt. Banahaw, Mayon Volcano, Taal Volcano. A land of contrasts and ever-changing landscapes. - literally. ganda ng bansa naten. di lang marunong mag appreciate ung iba.
-
Gayuma, agimat and anting-anting. Love potions and amulets. How the socially-disadvantaged Pinoy copes. - pati hula, barang at iba pa. meron nga nagsbe na kinulam ko si jc eh sha naman mukhang mangkukulam…haleerst! hahaha.
-
Barangay Ginebra, Jaworski, PBA, MBA and basketball. How the verticaly-challenged Pinoy compensates, via a national sports obsession that reduces fans to tears and fistfights.- oo nga, pati mga suntukan at iba pa. dahil lang sa lintik na basketball….at lahat ng kanto ng pilipinas me basketball court.
-
People Power at EDSA. When everyone became a hero and changed Philippine history overnight. - and look at them now. the kawawang masa, mahirap pa sa mahirap. sila lang yumayaman. fuck that shit.
-
San Miguel Beer and pulutan. "Isa pa nga!" and the Philippines' most popular, world-renowned beer goes well with peanuts, corniks, tapa, chicharon, usa, barbecue, sisig, and all manner of spicy, crunchy and cholesterol-rich chasers. - Octoberfest. the best. umuulan ng beer. too bad di namin na experience to sa davao kc naka red alert.
-
Resiliency. We've survived 400 years of Spanish rule, the US bases, Marcos, the 1990 earthquake, lahar, lambada, Robin Padilla, and Tamagochi. We'll survive Erap.- and we did. we know have to face someone na ayas bumaba, mamatay man sha.
-
Yoyo. Truly Filipino in origin, this hunting tool, weapon, toy and merchandising vehicle remains the best way to "walk the dog" and "rock the baby," using just a piece of string. i need to mention 10-20, chinese garter, block 1-2-3, ung sumpit, bahay bahayan, luksong tinik, luksong baka at marami pang iba.
-
Pinoy games: Pabitin, palosebo, basagan ng palayok. A few basic rules make individual cunning and persistence a premium, and guarantee a good time for all.
-
Ninoy Aquino. For saying that "the Filipino is worth dying for,'' and proving it. - angelica jones - for saying I am not here to GR, I am here to pashion. and proving it. hahaha.
-
Balagtasan. The verbal joust that brings out rhyme, reason and passion on a public stage. - wala na atang ganito. instead, we have our homies…local rap artists…and they are really good.
-
Tabo. All-powerful, ever-useful, hygienically-triumphant device to scoop water out of a bucket _ and help the true Pinoy answer nature's call. Helps maintain our famously stringent toilet habits. - true. i really wonder bakit sila tissue lang??? kaders…:-)
-
Pandesal. Despite its shrinking size, still a good buy. Goes well with any filling, best when hot. - kababayan di ba? monay ganun. masarap lahat, me spanish pandesal, merong pandesal with cheese. maraming variations na.
-
Jollibee. Truly Pinoy in taste and sensibility, and a corporate icon that we can be quite proud of. Do you know that it's invaded the Middle East, as well? - meron na kaya sa us. ano pa ba? truly pinoy.
-
The butanding, the dolphins and other creatures in our blessed waters. They're Pinoys, too, and they're here to stay. Now if some folks would just stop turning them into daing. bayawak din. i watched sa discovery…
-
Pakikisama. It's what makes people stay longer at parties, have another drink, join pals in sickness and health. You can get dead drunk and still make it home. - oo nga, filipinos through thick and thin. minsan mas closer pa sila sa friends than sa family.
-
Sing-a-long. Filipinos love to sing, and thank God a lot of us do it well! -thanks sa magic sing, exteme etc. pati mga videoke sa kanto and all.
-
Kayumanggi. Neither pale nor dark, our skin tone is beautifully healthy, the color of a rich earth or a mahogany tree growing towards the sun. - di na kelangan magpa tan. ewan ko ba bakit yung ibang filipina gusto magpaputi. eh mukha naman harina.
-
Handwoven cloth and native weaves. Colorful, environment-friendly alternatives to polyester that feature skillful workmanship and a rich indigenous culture behind every thread. From the pinukpok of the north to the malong of the south, it's the fiber of who we are. - yeah. the piña, abaca and all. pretty.
-
Movies. Still the cheapest form of entertainment, especially if you watch the same movie several times. - oist. ndi na ha?! pirated dvds and uso. so cheap and everybody can watch it.
-
Bahala na. We cope with uncertainty by embracing it, and are thus enabled to play life by ear. meron na nga ring gang dahil sa word na ito.
-
Papaitan. An offal stew flavored with bile, admittedly an acquired taste, but pointing to our national ability to acquire a taste for almost anything. - meron pa ngang kinilaw or hilaw na kahit ano. shrimp, kambing, etc.
-
English. Whether carabao or Arr-neoww-accented, it doubles our chances in the global marketplace. - I think we can speak better english than anyone in Asia. kaya siguro nga ang daming callcenters dito eh.
-
The Press. Irresponsible, sensational, often inaccurate, but still the liveliest in Asia. Otherwise, we'd all be glued to TV. - correct. ang press nababayaran. if you have money, wala kang problema.
-
Divisoria. Smelly, crowded, a pickpocket's paradise, but you can get anything here, often at rock-bottom prices. The sensory overload is a bonus. - meron din divisoria, tiangge everywhere, esp at Christmas season.
-
Barong Tagalog. Enables men to look formal and dignified without having to strangle themselves with a necktie. Worn well, it makes any ordinary Juan look marvelously makisig. - I disagree. parang ninong sa kasal. hehehe. I like the kamisa de chino churva
-
Filipinas. They make the best friends, lovers, wives. Too bad they can't say the same for Filipinos. - shempre. hehehe. we are also malambing, masungit din.di ba bby?
-
Filipinos. So maybe they're bolero and macho with an occasional streak of generic infidelity; they do know how to make a woman feel like one.- my man is not bolero, he is not even a womanizer. thats what i know. hehehe.
-
Catholicism. What fun would sin be without guilt? Jesus Christ is firmly planted on Philippine soil. - yeah. and we have several interpretations of our faith, which divided homes.
-
Dolphy. Our favorite, ultra-durable comedian gives the beleaguered Pinoy everyman an odd dignity, even in drag. - as well as Ramon Revilla. many money, more children.
-
Style. Something we often prefer over substance. But every Filipino claims it as a birthright. - yes. but i prefer both.
-
Bad taste. Clear plastic covers on the vinyl-upholstered sofa, posters of poker-playing dogs masquerading as art, overaccessorized jeepneys and altars–the list is endless, and wealth only seems to magnify it. - i disagree. we have more sense of style and fashion.
-
Mangoes. Crisp and tart, or lusciously ripe, they evoke memories of family outings and endless sunshine in a heart-shaped package.Mangoes. Crisp and tart, or lusciously ripe, they evoke memories of family outings and endless sunshine in a heart-shaped package.
-
Unbridled optimism. Why we rank so low on the suicide scale. - shempre ang pinoy malakas ang loob. makapal ang mukha….ipipilit ang sarili kahit ayaw na. hahaha.
-
Street food: Barbecue, lugaw, banana-cue, fishballs, IUD (chicken entrails), adidas (chicken feet), warm taho. Forget hepatitis; here's cheap, tasty food with gritty ambience.-sinabe ko na ito kanina, paulet ulet ulet. ulet.ulet.
-
The siesta. Snoozing in the middle of the day is smart, not lazy. synonymous as powernapping.
-
Honorifics and courteous titles: Kuya, ate, diko, ditse, ineng, totoy, Ingkong, Aling, Mang, etc. No exact English translation, but these words connote respect, deference and the value placed on kinship. - yes. and we even call Manong and Manang to strangers.
-
Heroes and people who stood up for truth and freedom. Lapu-lapu started it all, and other heroes and revolutionaries followed: Diego Silang, Macario Sakay, Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Melchora Aquino, Gregorio del Pilar, Gabriela Silang, Miguel Malvar, Francisco Balagtas, Juan Luna, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Panday Pira, Emilio Jacinto, Raha Suliman, Antonio Luna, Gomburza, Emilio Aguinaldo, the heroes of Bataan and Corregidor, Pepe Diokno, Satur Ocampo, Dean Armando Malay, Evelio Javier, Ninoy Aquino, Lola Rosa and other comfort women who spoke up, honest cabbie Emilio Advincula, Rona Mahilum, the women lawyers who didn't let Jalosjos get away with rape.-Katrina Legarda, Dra.

-
Metro Aides. They started out as Imelda Marcos' groupies, but have gallantly proven their worth. Against all odds, they continuously prove that cleanliness is next to godliness–especially now that those darned candidates' posters have to be scraped off the face of Manila! - MMDA din. and the color ha. pink. so girly!

Sari-sari store. There's one in every corner, offering everything from bananas and floor wax to Band-Aid and bakya. - which is offering the tingi, right? pede pa utang.

Philippine National Red Cross. PAWS. Caritas. Fund drives. They help us help each other. - they even sponsor educational funds. Mabuhay!
-
Favorite TV shows through the years: "Tawag ng Tanghalan," "John and Marsha," "Champoy," "Ryan, Ryan Musikahan," "Kuwarta o Kahon," "Public Forum/Lives," "Student Canteen," "Eat Bulaga." In the age of inane variety shows, they have redeemed Philippine television. - wowowee, komiks, telenovela, chinonovela….
-
Quirks of language that can drive crazy any tourist listening in: "Bababa ba?" "Bababa!"- we even have gaylingo. I think its widely accepted.
-
"Sayang!" "Naman!" "Kadiri!" "Ano ba!?" "pala." Expressions that defy translation but wring out feelings genuinely Pinoy.
-
Cockfighting. Filipino men love it more than their wives (sometimes). -buti na lang baby ko basketball ang hilig.

Dr. Jose Rizal. A category in himself. Hero, medicine man, genius, athlete, sculptor, fictionist, poet, essayist, husband, lover, samaritan, martyr. Truly someone to emulate and be proud of, anytime, anywhere.

Nora Aunor. Short, dark and homely-looking, she redefined our rigid concept of how leading ladies should look. - i like vilma santos better.
-
Noranian or Vilmanian. Defines the friendly rivalry between Ate Guy Aunor and Ate Vi Santos and for many years, the only way to be for many Filipino fans.
-
Filipino Christmas. The world's longest holiday season. A perfect excuse to mix our love for feasting, gift-giving and music and wrap it up with a touch of religion. -not to mention the fact that we can go to work drunk! yipee…
-
Relatives and kababayan abroad. The best refuge against loneliness, discrimination and confusion in a foreign place. Distant relatives and fellow Pinoys readily roll out the welcome mat even on the basis of a phone introduction or referral.
-
Festivals: Sinulog, Ati-atihan, Moriones. Sounds, colors, pagan frenzy and Christian overtones.
-
Folk dances. Tinikling, pandanggo sa ilaw, kari?sa, kuratsa, itik-itik, alitaptap, rigodon. All the right moves and a distinct rhythm.
-
Native wear and costumes. Baro't saya, tapis, terno, saya, salakot, bakya. Lovely form and ingenious function in the way we dress.
-
Sunday family gatherings. Or, close family ties that never get severed. You don't have to win the lotto or be a president to have 10,000 relatives. Everyone's family tree extends all over the archipelago, and it's at its best in times of crisis; notice how food, hostesses, money, and moral support materialize during a wake? - yeah. pati nga compliments sa wake din ginagawa. too late.
-
Calesa and karitela. The colorful and leisurely way to negotiate narrow streets when loaded down with a year's provisions.
-
Quality of life. Where else can an ordinary employee afford a stay-in helper, a yaya, unlimited movies, eat-all-you-can buffets, the latest fashion (Baclaran nga lang), even Viagra in the black market?
-
All Saints' Day. In honoring our dead, we also prove that we know how to live.
-
Handicrafts. Shellcraft, rattancraft, abaca novelties, woodcarvings, banig placemats and bags, bamboo windchimes, etc. Portable memories of home. Hindi lang pang-turista, pang-balikbayan pa!
-
Pinoy greens. Sitaw. Okra. Ampalaya. Gabi. Munggo. Dahon ng Sili. Kangkong. Luya. Talong. Sigarillas. Bataw. Patani. Lutong bahay will never be the same without them.
-
OCWs. The lengths (and miles) we'd go for a better life for our family, as proven by these modern-day heroes of the economy. - i think every family merong pamilya abroad.
-
The Filipino artist. From Luna's magnificent "Spoliarium" and Amorsolo's sun-kissed ricefields, to Ang Kiukok's jarring abstractions and Borlongan's haunting ghosts, and everybody else in between. Hang a Filipino painting on your wall, and you're hanging one of Asia's best.
-
Tagalog soap operas. From "Gulong ng Palad" and "Flor de Luna" to today's incarnations like "Mula sa Puso"–they're the story of our lives, and we feel strongly for them, MariMar notwithstanding.- outdated ka naman. koreannovelas and chinonovelas in din sa pinoy.-outdated na yan meron na chinonovelas and koreannovelas.
-
Midnight madness, weekends sales, bangketas and baratillos. It's retail therapy at its best, with Filipinos braving traffic, crowds, and human deluge to find a bargain. - meron na din ukay ukay. where the squammy people get to wear tommy hill shirts and nike rubber shoes.
there it is ladies and gentlemen, we have several traits we could be proud and ashamed of.
MR. RIGHt
I received an email from a friend. Its worth sharing. Read on: Not every man you’ll meet will be a candidate to share your toothpaste. In your search for Mr. Right, you’ll meet some Mr. Wrong’s along the way. Have you seen these men? The Married Man Is an explanation needed? It doesn’t matter whether his wife doesn’t understand him, he’s staying married for the kids, or he hasn’t had sex with his wife in years, the married man is not good boyfriend material. If you do fall for one of his tried and true lines, expect that: you won’t see him on family holidays; his wife isn’t sick or dying or frigid; his other girlfriend has heard the same lines; he’ll never be available when you need him the most; and if he ever did get a divorce, he probably wouldn’t even consider marrying you. So, he says he’s single but you’re not quite sure? If he doesn’t give you his home phone number, won’t see you on the holidays, rarely if ever sleeps over, and won’t take you on dates to public places or gatherings of his friends, he just might be a married man. Divorced but Not Quite This man meets the criteria for being divorced. The legalities have taken place, he lives away from her. Unfortunately, he’s still emotionally tied to his ex and everything he does is with the anticipation that she’ll some day have a change of heart and take him back. It doesn’t matter how much she’s gotten on with her life, he’s still waiting for her call. He’s got a broken heart, a head that’s occupied with questions about the man his ex may currently date, and a guilt that won’t quit about the kids and how they’re taking all the upheaval. If he got socked for alimony and child support, he may be so financially strapped he may not be able to think about much else. This guy isn’t ready for a new woman in his life. Not for the type of romantic, soulmate connection you are seeking. You may date, and he may have enthusiasm, but his ex will be there too, wedged between the two of you, flooding your time with memories he refuses to put to rest. If she calls, he’ll run to her side. Hopefully you won’t need him at the same time. Your best bet for the man who still loves his ex-wife is to be his friend but search elsewhere for a man to call your own. You’ll risk less heartache, particularly if she decides she wants him back. If she doesn’t take him back, he probably will get over her. But most likely he will consider you to be part of the past and he’ll move on to new and exciting conquests, testing his newly discovered powers of attraction to the opposite sex. Midlife Man This man doesn’t know who he really is or what he really wants out of life. Probably not so long ago he had a wife and family and drove a station wagon or economy van. Then it struck him one day that he was getting older, he hadn’t accomplished anything of value, life was passing him by, and he hated his gray hair and the fact that he needed glasses to see anything closer than arm’s length away from his face. Some men spin through midlife doing minor damage to themselves and those they love. Others plow through it swinging a chain saw. How will you know the impact midlife is having on him? It depends upon how desperately he’s trying to regain his stolen youth. Has he traded the wife, family and van for a shiny red sports car and a lithe blonde younger than his daughter? Sounds like chain saw time at the old home front. Other men realize that life, indeed, is passing in front of them and they realize also that having a life partner who doesn’t share their same future goals and current interests is robbing them of joy. This is a nice way of saying that they’ve grown apart and he recognizes the fact and is ready to move on to the next phase of his life with or without someone with whom to share it. An admirable ambition but just make certain that you don’t get chewed up as he searches for someone who understands him. He doesn’t understand himself, how could you? The Man Who Won’t Commit This man has never been married. He’s absolutely perfect — or so it seems. He owns a beautiful home, he’s a gourmet cook, his manners are perfect, he’s physically fit and financially sound. If he’s in his 20’s, don’t let him get away. If he’s in his 30’s, you should have second thoughts. If he’s in his 40’s or beyond, don’t start moving your clothes into his closet. He likes things just the way they are, thank you! The man who won’t commit doesn’t want to share his home with a woman, not even you. He’s happy with his pictures on his walls and his clothes in his closet. The thought of a woman rearranging his furniture in his home makes him cringe. And children?! No way, no how! Don’t mistake the divorced man who’s reluctant to try again with the man who won’t give it a try the first time. There’s hope for the divorced man. You can recognize a man who won’t commit in several ways: he hates having his routine changed, he’s only slightly tolerant of children, he’s extremely protective of his personal routine, and he refuses to promise exclusivity in a relationship. He likes himself the way he is, and doesn’t see a need to change himself for anyone. The Man Who Could Care Less If you are more interested in being with him, than he is with you, tell him bye-bye. This isn’t about the normal, average guy who hides his emotions because he doesn’t want to appear to be a “sissy.” This is about the man who causes you to have doubts about your own physical attractiveness to the opposite sex, the man who doesn’t try to kiss you, the man who shies away from what would be considered ‘normal’ romantic responses. He doesn’t need an excuse and you don’t need a reason, but if you’re looking at him with thoughts of a romantic future, better look elsewhere. The Man Mom Warned You About He’s smooth and suave and says all the right things. There’s no way you can’t help falling in love with this man. It helps to understand that love is an emotion and not a logical occurrence. This may serve as some excuse for why you keep running back to him after he: Punches you black and blue when you make him mad. Is in bed with his girlfriend while you’re at the hospital delivering your first child. Demands an hourly accounting of your time away from him but it’s better that you don’t anger him by asking where he’s been all night. Stays out all night “talking” with a buddy and accuses you of cheating when you develop a STD shortly thereafter. Works when and if he feels the need but is quick to quash any thoughts you might have about working fewer hours away from home. Has to have money from the savings account to play at the track because this time his horse is guaranteed to pay big. Of course he’ll beg your forgiveness when you get enough of the craziness and tell him you’re history. He’s counting on you being hooked enough to want it to be true. Words are his stock in trade, cheap to come by, cheap to use. If he can back them with the proper action, then they’re worth listening to and believing. The Man Without a Home You met him somewhere, you forget where. Somehow he came home with you. And, funny thing, he’s still there. He’s happy having you take the lead role, providing the comfort of a place to stay, meals on the table, a warm bed. But is this what you really intended? He’s like a stray pup who shows up at your door, hungry and tired. He’s grateful for any little comfort you are willing to provide. He’s sweet. He helps around the house. He’s good in bed. He never has any money. He may have friends but you’ve never met them, and he’d rather stay at home than go out. Is it because he loves your company so much or is it that he doesn’t want to be seen with you? The Man of Your Dreams The man of your dreams wants to show you that he isn’t like all those other men. He wants to make you happy, it’s his only role in life, or so he says. This man loves you and everything about you. He has your entire life planned, with all the things you’ve ever dreamed about. There’ll be beautiful children, spacious homes, nice cars, trips to foreign lands and him by your side sharing the dream. There’s no way you’d think of letting this man go because all your dreams would go with him. Unfortunately, the dreams are simply illusions to keep you enthralled with him. Nothing will ever come about, though he’ll continue to weave those silken dreams for as long as you’ll stay around to listen to them. The man of your dreams should stay right there while you find yourself a real man, faults and all, to travel through life’s twists and turns, side by side. Prince Charming A castle, a dragon, a princess in distress. But wait! It’s Prince Charming and he’s here to rescue you! This man can’t turn away from a damsel in distress and when it’s you who’s being rescued, you can’t help but be oh so grateful that he came along. Don’t put your hopes into this man staying long in your castle. He’s ever alert to the sounds of damsels in distress, and his trusty steed is ever ready to rush to the next rescue, even if it means dumping the last princess from the saddle to make room for the latest princess in need. Mr. Right Is there a chance of finding your Mr. Right? Of course. The world is full of men who would be wonderful friends and lovers. They’re warm and caring and seeking someone like themselves. They’re a little shopworn, a bit frayed around the edges, perhaps tattered from wear. They’ve had their egos bruised and their hopes dashed by someone they loved too much or perhaps not enough at the time. They’re reluctant to open their hearts but even more reluctant not to, afraid that they’ll find the one woman they didn’t trust enough will end up being the one woman they could have trusted with everything. They’re out there, sometimes being confused with toads. I feel so much blessed for having JC. He may not be the MR.RIGHT per se. but he is just perfect enough for me. He is sensitive, thoughtful, caring, funny and loving. He is the type of person you wanted to grow old with, spend countless nights conversing and doing chores together.We may have several arguments along the way, but we managed to meet halfway.
(I call him 5 minute man, kc pagnagtampo sha, five minutes lang tapos na. hahaha. ) Loveyasomuch bby. Mwah!

nung pauwe…halos wala talaga kmeng imikan…
while i was gazing at the window…palipad na ung airplane.
i realized na i was able to see everything na maganda about davao…the places, the prices, the ambiance, the weather…
and kaya siguro eagle ang emblem nila kc it strongly signifies their city…sharp, quiet, dynamic yet domineering.
kumbaga no nonsense…sobrang disciplined ang mga people yet they are warm, courteous, friendly.
i forgot to include the persons na i will be meeting…the budding relationships…
ung mga taong di mo makakalimutan in that short span of time… ung mga moments that you have spent na timeless.
yun ung mga bagay na di mo masusuklian…ung genuine friendship na they offered…and i will be forever thankful for having met them…
I am not sure kung when or where kme ulet magkikita but i am pretty sure that were gonna miss each and everyone.
Kileg!!!!!:)

sweetest thang
We went to Pansol, laguna last weekend
for our team building. we left Manila
at around past 10 am…were excited
kse almost complete kame.anyway, we arrived
pansol siguro mga lunch time.. half of the
team ppunta ng palengke so dun muna kame
me kumakanta and yung mga kids ni rica
at si yaya tata eh lumusong na sa pool.
i also met queenie, our teammate's gf.,
we had a late lunch dahel umulan pa.
we had games group 2 ako bby ko group 1
sha lang ata lalake dun..and their team
name is gorgeous and our teamname is
juicy (which is derived from my shirt).
shempre panalo kme…:) hahaha.
after that dinner and then inuman…
me killer game pa ata.. i did not understand
the game and besides after several tagay,
i feel so sleepy and i dont want to throw up
noh..kaya i excused myself at akoy matutulog muna.
and after several hours, jacq and alu is trying to
wake me up…and i heard na matagal na sila dun..
at they are complaining kc ang tagal ko daw
magising…:) hahaha. totoo naman talaga yun eh.
so, to cut the story short, paggising ko
madilim tapos paglabas ko ng door puro kandila
natakot nga ko akala ko its part of the game
hinila pa ko ulet ni alu…sbe nya ok lang yan…
puro candles sa parang catwalk tapos sa gitna
puro rose petals and then sa dulo me circle..
pucha, clueless talaga ko what is happening…
kakagicing ko lang noh…and then while i was
walking sa wizard of oz…kumanta sa videoke ung
kateammate namen si mae ng "panalangin"
and everyone eh nsa dilim…parang meron silang
alam na di ko alam…tapos, ung bby ko, nsa likod
ko sbe nya happy monthsary…me bouquet ng
flowers..omg..hehehe..parang sa magazine ko lang to
nabasa at sa sine…:) and then we danced..swiftly and passionately,
parang its our first freaking date..hehehe.
shempre everyone is shouting..and crying..
yes, naiyak sila sa moment namen..nakakaiyak naman
talaga…ambango ng floor kc puro rose petals, this is
so romantic promise tapos ang sweet ng ambiance.
hay naku, im so kileg to the max.. di ako naiyak
kc im getting in to my senses pa lang..
parang teka muna, is this really true..parang ganun..
anyway, everyone seemed to be happy and my teammates
are dying of envy…nakakatuwa lang sobrang sweet ng hubby ko
he conspired the whole team just to do this for me —
they have arranged everything…hay, if you could see the
video, pucha para kong nawawala.. hehehe.
and after the dance, shempre whispering sweet nothings kme ni bby ko.
and he cried, he said he was happy and he wanted me to be
with him for the rest of his life…na ako na daw gusto nya talaga.
it was such a magical feeling having heard this from the one you love.
dati i find it so cheesy…ngayon sobrang happy ako. in fact, speechless
nga lola mo…
and then after that, inom pa sila…bby ko lasheng sobra..
ang kulet ayaw pa awat..hehehe.
everybody was dancing and acting crazy…(although they are all pagod and wanted
to sleep….) which is the
very purpose why we are there to have fun
to strengthen our relationship…as a team….
this is it!
team maiq smiling faces
ang dilim lang…:(
so suprised…:) i dint expect this..hahaha…
this is the sweetest thing…

Milestones….
September 2, 2006august 31, 2006…its our off
so, we went to greenbelt chapel
with our friend and teammate,JB.
JB is not really in the
"spiritual" thingy (and
so am I) so he did not went
inside the chapel…just the two of
us…my bby shempre…this is
the first time we went to
a real chapel because
the first one was like a
prayer room in a certain mall.
anyways, I uttered a fervent, quick prayer
thanking him and all. I was
really amazed how sincere and
how solemn he prayed…its like
he is crying…if he is not my bby
i would think that he is a seminarian, priest or something..ang tagal nya
magdasal huh..and after that we sat there
and he held my hand…without saying
anything..i think he is still
murmuring a prayer..Only God knows
whats their conversation. He said (finally when
I asked him, im dying out of curiosity)
that he is thankful for having me and
hoping this will be a lifetime
fulfillment. Hay, how romantic
naman tlaga di ba..:)
anyways, after that we went to gateway
with jb pa ren. ate at seafood island…
we had a boodle feast..we were really hungry
talaga. so after the hearty meal, we went to
gateway jb bought some stuff for his bday gifts
to his fafing…and then we had coffee at starbucks
with little chit chat…I have learned na ndi pala
ko nag-iisa…kc ang bby ko e sobrang religious
ako naman e ndi. I mean, i believe that someone
is powerful above us but I am not really a practicing
catholic. so is jb..we both grew up in catholic
schools with nuns and fathers forced to listen to mass
every friday and memorize the rosary by heart..
but after enrolling in a state university everythings gone.
you started to think and ponder that the traditions are
not right. that you started thinking beyond what you are seeing…
that the one that you thought "right" when you're a kid is not
really right after all…
anyways, we bought a new tv and dvd that day..
it was really a milestone for our relationship..
hahaha..:) sorry naman…i have it to share wiht everyone..
its an amazing feeling…hehehe..our place is
like empty before and filling it up wasnt really easy…
and today, just earlier this morning, we
bought our sofa. it wasnt really meant for
the visitors because its a two seater sofa
but it fits our place…cool, comfy and stylish…just like
me hehehe.(its my taste..good thing my hubby lets me
pick everything….
from throwpillows to
bed to sofa to tv..hehehe…
anyways, we invited our team to do a house
warming so that they can visit our place…:)
we're proud to have accomplish these things
together and we just want to share it with them..
Les rêves se réalisent. ..it m’est arrivé, il vous arrivera..
August 30, 2006JC…sweet ng bby ko ha.. anyways
thank you for making things happen.
I was never naman the cheesiest
person on earth. I may not even say
how much I love you every single day
but I do. ha…I cant believe I am saying
this…
When we first met, i never thought that
he will literally change my life.
hahaha….
JC is a person thats very reserved.
Sometimes he could be really shy and
quiet…pero makulet sha talaga. hahaha.
What I like about him is his patience.
Sobra.. I mean he could wait for me
for several hours and he wouldnt even
complain.pagdating mo, there he is
smiling at me. calm and cool…and
he will ask, gutom ka na?
kain na tayo.
he is the nicest man that Ive ever known.
and I am really wondering what have I done
in my life to deserve him…salbahe naman
ako.hehehe. maldita pa nga minsan and sobrang
topaken…:) sometimes when I look at him,
parang i wanted to ask na me lalake pa palang
ganito… as in very much perfect…
sweet, loving, honest and yummy…hahaha.
joke.its really worth kissing some frogs first
before meeting your prince.
I wished for him before…I wished for a man
and there he is…fitting like a leather glove.
dreams come true… it happened to me, it could
happen to you.

supportive friends
I think we are already finished
making kwento how we met and all the kilig stuffs
about us….so, Im gonna share naman some people
who is responsible for our relationship..
1.) CYRIL MESINA
Our teamleader and friend. He is the one na nanukso
sa amin before we even knew na me feelings kame for
each other. He announced na were the newest loveteam
sa team… kaya eto nga… anyway, let me tell you
something about him… si cyril — he is a good tl.
because you won't feel na tl mo sha. he is very down
to earth and you can be yourself talaga.
babaero lang. hehehe. lapitin kc ng chikas tong si pare
pano sobrang baet. (bayad na ko ha?!)
and kahit na minsan me pagka boy bastos itong si cy
loves na loves ng chickas because very much approachable
and sweetness din ito…
i should be really paid on this
hahaha. anyways, si cy pag nalasheng, ang trip nito ay
mag malling… as in cyberzone churva. mag arcade ganun.
hehehe. did i also mentioned na sha ang official cook namen
pag team building??? parang manok ites di natutulog
just to make asikaso.
I just hope na di na sha mambabae. hehehe. sino ba talaga,
si aida, si lorna o si mico ??? peace bro.
2.) JB FLORALDE
She's my pretty friend. She contributed a lot… during our first teambuilding, she initiated the churva thats why we become closer and she even erased the pressure between us. hehehe. and when we became closefriends, she fed me with relevant information about my beloved.
sorry naman bby
hahaha. girls will always be girls.
about JB…she's self confessed fashionista. very slim and figure conscious. she is one hell of a lady. and she is not also just another pretty face….she graduated from UP. and he makes boylets cry…hahaha. its really hard to be gorgeous.
way to go girl! mwah! loveya.

3.) ALU
I didn't know her before personally before. But after several talks below our workstations during lunchbreaks, I get to know her. I keep on asking her questions and giving her my theories about my beau. She can't even answer my questions, she just listens — and thats good enough for me. I can't thank her enough for that.
Si Joey, she's the female counterpart of boybastos… anything you say, it will be green…or at least its the way she perceives it…walang kokontra. hehehe. its just prove that she's been loveless too long…hahaha. anyway, si alu is an epitome of a very responsible sister. If I will be given a chance, I will give her Gintong Ina award, and of course, it will be a male stripper as the prize. nyahaha. loveya din friend

4.) RICA MARCELO - BROCAL
She's one helluva a friend. she is willing to support you all the way. She inspired me to become a better person and to strive life's shitty ordeals.
Rica? she loves daddy too much. hahaha. she is also galante…treated our team with tons of food! yummy!

5.) For the rest of the team….
JACQ - thankyou. sensha na pag tinetext ka ni JC ha…. thank you for your empathy. mwah.
JEN - peace out. sister. thank you for being there. hahaha.
DIONNE - girlpower. thank you for the comments that drive me crazy. at least we are always on the same page. mwah. loveya, girl. welcome back
stay sexy and hot
MARK - I wont tell JC that you are giving me advices thru email. hahahaha. Mark's really funny and I really wished he would be the magician his heart is longing for. Although you might look really insane, he is a brother you can count on
PHIL - right choice, huh? yes I did. and thanks for reminding me that.
if I know, takusa ka din. nyahaha. Phil is a good cook and nice friend. He loves to drink and to sing… Rock on, bro.
MYRISS - kileg moments. thanks for sharing that. mwah. Ope to hear your wedding bells soon.
ENID - I dont know if you can be able to read this but Im really thankful to have you as a friend.
You made me realize that true love really exists. thanks for believing. mwah.
Quanquinay de sho
August 16, 2006after the team building, we havent had the chance to say naman what we really feel eh.probably we are both chicken shit to ask if we are taken..hahaha.I did not ask him because I was hoping he will tell me…
and he is not asking me din naman so…ganun..bhala na lang si batman…
technically, at that time, i am open naman for dates… going out and all.
not really looking for someone… until nga I met him..:-)
so there, we were very sweet when were together. and He never asked for my number. how weird di ba? and i never also asked for his number. Even if i can be able to get that information from our team folder. sorry na lang. hahaha.
because of the fact na, hindi ako mahilig magtanong…and i have this subtle talent of extensive thinking and
endless hypotheses, to confirm my curiosity. I keep on asking my teammates even with my teamlead..hahaha. they dont know the answers to my questions but i kept on asking…hahaha.
anyway, days passed and we are really literally inseparable…and with so much pdas and all that…
one night he eventually asked me out
just like any ordinary guy..buti naman! hay eventually…and we went to my gay friend's house…sipped a couple of beers…and all night long
he was staring at me…i often asked him not to stare because it is impolite…but the truth of the matter is that I just cant resist his enticing light brown eyes. haaay. anak ng pating…:) hahaha.
so, fast forward naman tayo…
one night he sent me an email parang he was telling me how much he loves me…which is very much normal naman… and sana tama tong ginagawa ko… so, i asked him na about the girl… (at least sa kanya nanggaling di ba?!) he said he broke up with her na…sbe ko nga bket. the answer is quite obvious. but then to know that u have hurt another person for your own happiness is another thing. I mean, i maybe sumtyms really bitchy but not that.
But again, I never asked him to do that. It is his decision… and nothing can argue with freewill. Kahit na sabhih ko bumalik sha di ba.. e kung ayaw nya, panu un.. I was in mixed emotions really. I nver expected things will happen this soon…ang ganda ko naman talaga, di ba? hahaha…
then we went to puerto galera together. Pucha, ang hirap pala pag
holy week.. damn, ang dameng tao…
walang bangka…sobrang congested dun…special trip. parang ayaw na nga namen tumuloy but what the hell —
its worth it naman…xempre im with him so kaht impyerno, sasama ko..hahaha. sira ulo ba? minsan lang naman eh…
so ayun..siguro we arrived there sat am and had fun.. the problem is ung pauwe… monday afternoon na kme naka book ng pauwe. we have to go to work. and feeling ko sobrang late na kme… so we decided na lang to spend the rest of the monday evening together… ayun.. then me text, la sha load eh. sbe ko makitext sha since line naman gamet ko.. kc his mom is asking our tl, alam ko ayaw nya but i insisted feeling ko kc nag woworry na ung mom nya, so he used cp…and ayun na… nagstart ung conflict ng love life namen…
as the saying goes hindi naman kumpleto if you dont have an antagonist to complete the story…
So ayun, i recd txts from his ex…
as expected, its unfavorable…I understand her situation naman, but the fact na she cannot let go parang its another story plus the idea na kung ano ano pa ang sinasabe nya to compensate her loss…anyway, ill do a separate blog for her… hahaha.
and then endless text from family and even cousins… all are hate texts should i say… I replied to those texts na i think sobra na…its like they dont know you personally but then sinusukat na sobra ung pagkatao mo…I dont even like the idea of fighting over a guy because honestly di ko naman kelangan un. and its not the reason bakt ako sumagot its because they dont have the right to say that. they dont even know who i am…and vice versa.
anyway, at that point… parang i wanted to change my mind…parang i dont want to be treated that way noh..but whenever he asks me to stay.. i just cant resist him… and then i told myself na hay… this is it na talaga… i will take the f**** risk.
I dont even care if they name me names…whatever it is… i will prove em wrong…you can hate me and i dont even give a damn.. what i know is I love him and they cannot take them away from me…over my dead (sexy) body..nyahahah.
so basically thats the way we started…its not even finished yet…
we decided to live together because
his mom is literally nagging him about the dilemma plus the fact that the wannabe ex bisaya girl is living there….so, there's too much pressure on him
as in everyday parang di na sha nakakatulog because to avoid
arguments, he stayed na lang on his friend's house and then go home when its time to go to work…
So, I packed my bags and left home.
shempre, I know it will be difficult at first but kesa naman ganun na lang parate.. dba..to hell with everything na lang… in japanese, Quanquinay de sho….

one fateful day
August 9, 2006January….. It was a boring day. I was takin calls as usual… and then my team lead called me…
He said we have 2 new team members. He will introduce me to them. So I put the customer on hold, get up and saw 2 new faces. One is a girl named Rica and there was him..dressed in
a black jacket…kalbo… enticing eyes…my heart skipped a beat… and damn, he smelled good!
So, i said hi! and looked at his pretty face.. he seemed delicious..though. but well, i told myself that maybe he is just another cutie face…i went out for my cigarette break with my gay friend and even told about the newbie. I nver realized that that day would really make a BIG difference in my life….
Monday — it was his firstday… we became seatmates,
so since he is a newbie (and a cutie) i extended all my efforts to entertain every questions he had in mind…
day by day, we became closer… as in..like yosi partner and all…He seemed very shy, reserved, quiet and his guffaw really is funny… hahaha. sometimes he would sent emails with no subject at all and i will reply…Man, this is really crazy but not to us..hahaha. I don't know why… promise to publish the copies of his emails.
he looks taken as i observed, kc everytime he is going to text someone, nakatago celphone nya. and mind you he never mentions his status ha… feeling
ko, he likes me kaya lang….ewan… parang there is something stopping him eh… anyway, because nga close kame, our tl noticed na pareho kame naka acw (after call work) para lang magkwentuhan…and they have declared that we are a new loveteam daw. Maybe I would be furious pag tinukso ako sa iba — not to him…ewan ko ba… i think at that point at the back of my mind, i am beginning to like this man…pero i have doubts then in mind…what if he is really taken da vah? and it's not naman my cup of tea to make the first move noh.
anyway, its march and our teambuilding was fast approching.
ugh well, i never attend teambuildings and my tl made me promise that i should go. so, i went….
and then, we went to calatagan, batangas….we arrived first because they were riding on a jeep…and i am really maarte and i dont want to ride sa jeep..sorry na..its just its a long way and my gay friend brought their revo so dun ako sumabay..
anyways, night time. and what the hell, im not drunk, a li'l tipsy lang. His confession really shocked me. He is really honest ha…and despite of the fact na sobrang dame namen nun ( we are two teams btw) to make amin that fact…
anyways, ayun na nga…kiss daw so he kissed me, sa cheek.
it was a snappy one…so, when it was my turn, i kissed him. pressed my lips to his cheeks…the crowd went really crazy.
and then we are also asked to do "shotgun". he will be transferring the smoke to my lips…ugh well, its really so kilig..and of course, i din't say a word.
I am a woman and I dont want to give him a false notion that Im ya know one time thingy….
after several dozes of alcohol, we were really drunk. all of us, were…loud voices, heightened emotions. anyway, we dont have a place to stay and since the "shotgun" thingy — we never separated…hahaha…:-) so we slept on the tent. No sex, just kiss and Man, the kiss elevated my mind. He is such a wonderful kisser. hahaha. and i can vividly remember the feeling…:-)
anyways, after that we went to Tagaytay and ate lunch, picture taking and all. And as expected we are inseparable.
