I Have Game. Do You?

Do you know how it feels to be gossiped about? Do you know how it feels to be mocked? Well I do. And it makes me regret that I was honest and bold enough to do what I did. But I also know that I can not control what another person feels or what he will do with the knowledge handed to him. You just hope he is responsible enough, sensitive enough to know what a man should do in cases like, er, this... mine... whatever. I know I shouldn't feel this way. I feel tricked. I'm being vague. Let's just say I came out into the open. The acknowledgment was there. I just have this feeling he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Gustong-gusto ko pa naman siya. What a way to start my 2008. Thank you, Nickelback, for making me laugh.

I'm going on my 2nd trip to Boradise for this year. Heehee. It's funny -- I've been to Boracay many times but I still get all excited before I go. Weird. I'm going to the island with my officemates (Ryan, Amabs, Leah, & Myles) -- first-timers to Boracay! I will serve as their tour guide. * bow sabay hintay ng bayad * -------------------------- So I just got my Purploony (my psp slim named after a PSXer admin at lavander kasi kulay ng psp ko ), and ahlavet!!! I just added new games and bought all kinds of accessories for it: a silicon case, a travel bag, a polycarbonate case which can also serve as a stand. I stopped myself from buying the earphones because I just bought 2 in-ear earphones for my iPod which go great with the psp and the tv-out cables since I had no use for it really. What I also wanted to get were speakers for purploony but the stores I visited still do not have slim-compatible speakers so I guess I'll just have to wait for those. ---------------...

I just wanted to advertise a few things: *ahem* Bargain Corner - my friend, Bianca, is selling authentic Nine West bags at very low, low prices! I bought one already. Hihi. Bili na kayo! UR Guilty Pleasures - another friend, Mishee, is selling bags (Nine West & XOXO) as well as perfumes, and other stuff! Bananatrix - another friend, Will, (ang dami kong business-minded friends 'noh? Hehe) - is into baking these to-die for banana cakes ala cup cakes and more! I'm addicted, and I'm sure you'll love it. *rose gets hungry* Last - my brilliant 14-year old nephew, David Ples, has just released his book The Talisman Unsealed . Please get a copy ;) Excellent work, David! Yun lang. =) Ciao!

I fell in love with Boracay the first time I set foot on its shore 10 years ago. My uncle brought me to the island, along with his staff and the champion team of the just-concluded City-wide basketball tournament (a trip to Boracay was their prize! Lucky chaps!). We landed first in Kalibo and then took a 2-hour road trip on rough terrain to Caticlan. Believe me when I say my arse was truly sore after that. When we got to the (what we know now as) Caticlan jetty port -- well, actually there was no port, just a cottage where tourists had to pay for their boat ride, we had to wait a few minutes for Willy's (resort) boat to take us to the island. Midway through the boat trip, I looked down at the water and I couldn't believe that it was so clear! I could see the stones at the bottom! I remember calling out to people and telling them to look out and down, and hearing all the wows, the oohs, the aahs. Once we were all standing in front of Willy's ...

I'm off to Boradise. Beaching myself! Yihi! Ciao!

I used to believe in fairy tales. I was fascinated with the thought of living in a castle with servants waiting for my every command, catering to my whim and fancy. I dreamt endlessly of my knight in shining armor sweeping me off my feet. I was excited at the thought that I could have an army ready to march to battle in my honor. The wonders of childhood. At one point in my life, I thought I had stumbled into a fairy tale. I couldn't believe my luck. But I should've known better and should've armed myself with the knowledge that nothing is ever perfect, nothing and no one is constant. And it took me quite a few relationships to realize fairy tales do not exist for me. No Prince Charming to sweep me off my feet. No Knight in Shining Armor to save me from witches and dragons. No army to fight my battles. Fairy tales are exactly what they're called: non-existent and fictional. ------------------ My good friend and neighbor, Ces, sent me new books to read: The Secret Life O...
