I’ll Never Fall In Love Again
Thursday, November 23, 2006What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never phone you.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
Don't tell me what is all about.
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you
What do you get when you fall in love?
You get enough tears to fill an ocean
That's what you get for your devotion.
I'll never fall in love again.
I'll never fall in love again.
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
So, for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again!
I'll never fall in love again!

Monday, November 13, 2006Gone are the days of "buto't balat, lumilipad." And it's text messaging that opened the door to the age of modern riddles. Here’s some of them and let’s see if you can figure out who said which:
- “Wag kang magrereklamong pinaiyak kita dahil nauna mo kong sinaktan.”
- “Hindi lahat ng kulot ay salot!”
- “Hindi lahat ng bubuyog itim!”
- “Madalas kitang tingnan pero di mo ko pinapansin. Sinusundan pero ganon na lang kung dedmahin mo ko. Bakit? Dahil bas a hindi mo ko pagaari? Kaya nga ako lumalapit at hahabol-habol say o para angkinin mo na ko! Walang nagmamay-ari sa kin at sa’yo ko gusto!
- “Hala! Sige! Magpakasasa ka! Alam ko naman katawan ko lang ang habol nyo!”
- “Ayoko na! Bakit kapag nagmamahal ako nagagalit sila?!”
- “Napaka-saklap ng aking buhay! Ako na nga ang tinapakan, ako pa ang pinandidirihan…”
- “Kung panahon mo ngayon, abangan mo ang akin! Wag ka magyabang. Dadating din ang araw na ako naman ang mangingibabaw!”
- “Hindi lahat ng green, masustansiya.”
- “Nakakalungkot isipin na may mga tao talagang nang-iiwan sa ere…”
- “Wala siguro tayong matatawag na manhid na tao kung lahat tayokayang aminin ang totoong nararamdaman natin.”
- “Sige, magtiyaga ka lang! Makukuha mo rin ako!”
- “Kung walang nagte-text sayo, andito naman ako. I-text mo lang ako at Segundo lang, magre-reply na ko.”
- “Nakaka-sawa na! Lagi na lang akong sinusubo, dinidilaan, pinapatigas tapos ipinapasok!”
blah, blah, blah…
I don’t know what to make of the past few days. I feel like I’m so in the zone but the results proved otherwise. The results are in and sadly, it seems like I didn’t win. I feel like such a fool and I can’t seem to help myself out of the mock that I’ve thrown myself head first in. So have I lost myself in the sludge? Has the real me already sunk? Or is it I just simply refuse to move… at all?!
yes… almost…
Saturday, November 11, 2006A certain quiz that I took several months ago told me that I was – or am- “almost ready to date again.” I’ve never really been out on a date since the whole “Spark” fiasco and right now, I’m kind of stuck in a situation that I can’t get out of.
Four days before payday and as expected, I owe more money compared to what I actually have. All that’s left is a certain transportation allowance enough to get me to work and send me back home. In other words, I’M BROKE! No money at all to satisfy even the simplest craving – no money for Chicken Mc Rice Burger, no money for Chicken Nuggets and, most importantly, no money for a Venti Valencia Basic Black Iced Milked Tea. But things started to take a quick turn when Little Miss Rocker and I were on our way home.
Trying to escape from some sort of a family “thing”, LMR realized that she can’t be home until her aunt is gone and decided to hangout at Starbucks. With no money to spare, we decided to charge everything to “THE MAN.” Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d rather hang out with just her anytime on a tedious day but considering where we were, we decided to invite someone else to accompany us during our alone time together. Enter Junior Mc Trainee.
Not a lot of people know JMT that much. He’s new and more so, he’s a nurse so he doesn’t really hangout with my crowd. Only two other people know of his existence and that would be LMR and her boss, Madame Voltaire. And not only do they know him but they also know that I have been crushing on JMT for quite some time now. I haven’t really been showing much interest in people for the past couple of months so these two couldn't be happier that I actually found someone that I could like. So, to the best of their efforts, they tried to make ends meet.
So there we were, chilling at Starbucks, talking about stuff (people we know) when LMR, out of the blue, suggested that we take the conversation someplace else. And without batting an eyelash, she invited me and JMT to hang out at her pad and to our surprise, he actually wanted to go. I didn’t even expect him to say yes when we invited him over at Starbucks and saying yes to us when we asked him to go to LMR’s place was an even bigger surprise! And then I suddenly realized, it’s time to prepare for Phase 2.
When we got to LMR’s, the very first item on our list was BUY BOOZE. It may have been, what, 4 in the afternoon but considering our biological clocks being in reverse, it was way past midnight for us. Normally, when we hangout there, we drink the infamous “Emperador-Bailey’s Mix” and watch DVDs. I had LMR put Rent on the player because I know how much he enjoys good music and it seems like a Tony award winning play would be the way to go. It seems like he really enjoyed it and it looked like he was having fun. I found it hard to start a conversation at first because he was into the movie and I didn’t feel like talking during first act but when LMR went out during Intermission and we were left alone, we started to have a conversation.
I can’t remember how it started. I don’t even recall who spoke first. I remember him asking about Madame Voltaire and for some weird reason, we got to talking about religion. And as much as I hate to admit it, he’s funny and he can really strike up a conversation. No dull moments at all. Even when we were on our way home, he would just ask questions or tell stories about where he used to live, where he used to work – minor details, so to speak. And at that moment, I realized that I can do this everyday for the rest of my life.
I really owe Madame Voltaire and Little Miss Rocker (note to self: Buy gifts for Little Miss Rocker and Madame Voltaire. They deserve it). They know when to strike and they know how to execute. They always get the job done! So, the quiz proved to be right – I AM READY TO DATE AGAIN. Okay, so it was a non-date but the thing is, I came, I saw, I conquered! I was comfortable with the whole situation and now, I know that I can be alone with someone without making a complete fool of myself. I’m not saying that something will happen and I really don’t know where this might lead (Well, I pray it would) but I don’t really have any expectations whatsoever. But what if it does lead somewhere? I know I’m ready for casual dating, but an EVEN bigger question springs from the series of events that happened these past few days - - - Am I ready for what comes after that?!
If you think about it, no one really knows. I’d like to believe that it’s all about timing. When the time is right, I’ll know. But for now, I’d just like to sit back, relax and fasten my seatbelt real quick because if one thing’s for sure, this is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride.
Meticulous to the bone paying attention to the nitty-gritty details of anything (or anyone) that piques his interest. He's terribly O.C. when he feels like it and other times he just leaves the mess as it is.
