Buenas diaz, Filipinas! Ni hao ma, Singapura! Hello, mundo!

Masalimuot ang buwan na ito para sa akin. Daming trabaho, daming problema. Pero keri pa rin. I'm alive, awake, enthusiastic! Char!

Salamat po sa mga bagong tagasubaybay ng mumunting blog na ito. Pag naglo-logon ako sa blogger at nakikita kong dumarami ang tagasunod, natutuwa ako. Pwamis. Yun ang una kong tinitignan sa dashboard. Chos! Hahaha.

Mama just celebrated her 50th birthday this month. I love you, mama! Di man kita mabigyan ng apo, I can still make you proud. :-)

Nagkita kami ni Bien aka Orally yours at ginawa ko syang updater ng mga blogs. Sige, friend, libre kita ng dessert, ano na nangyayari sa blogosphere? Ngyahaha. Parang sekretarya lang di ba? But we also caught up with a lot of stuff in our lives.

Ex-boyfriend and I are now friends, yet again. This ex of mine who un-friended me, be-friended me, then un-friended me again. He said he has forgiven me, has moved on, and has put behind him the past. So nice to make friends with a once special someone.

Keso, the codename for my inspiration (he's called keso for he's the cause of my cheesy FB statuses), is somewhere out there, where love can see us through. Char! He's having his vacay with his siblings. Its been weeks, and I terribly feel his absence. Victoria, ipikit mo lang yan, para hindi gaanong masakit. At yun, I just picture his face on my mind and I feel a bit alright. Konting tiis na lang, I'll see him again.

Ex-BF and keso are communicating. Ex told him to be always beside me and take care of our friendship. Channeling U2: that is the sweetest thing.

My guy, ate guy, the Fil-Chi guy with whom I was head over heels recently, and I caught up on the phone last night. I sent him a message greeting and he replied. I decided to call. It was a delightful conversation. Parang walang naging gap sa amin. It's been three months since I decided to stop communicating with him. The reason being is that it got to the point that it was unhealthy on my part. Yung mga emotional posts ko ang nagpatunay na naloka ako sa kanya.

Natuwa daw siya sa mga facebook posts ko. Mas malagkit pa kasi sa pitong kesong pizza ng Pizza Hut ang posts ko. He was glad that I let loose talking to him, unlike in our past conversations where I really hold back a lot of stuff in mind. I was anxious and conscious of what to say to him back then eh. Now, it's no-hold-barred, and he could sense from the tone of my voice that it's different and better than before.

Now, I do this thing to keso. Natawa si my guy, and told me to be myself all the time. He said he's happy for me and he's looking forward to meeting him. We realy had a very nice conversation, having discussed what has happened to us in the past few months, what's going on, and what's up in the near future.

Grabe, kanina lang sabi ko masalimuot ang buwan na ito, pero nung binilang ko ang mga blessings ko, it wasn't bad. Not bad at all. :-)

Happy weekend!

Leave the World Behind

People can you hear me?
It's a message that I’m sending now,
I've got the answer to all your problems,
and tonight I'll be singing it loud.

Just surrender yourself to the rhythm
with your hands up in the sky,
Feel the energy deep inside your system
and LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND

If there’s any song I’d want playing in the background while I’m ecstatic, it should be this. Just listening to the music pumps me up and makes me want to go to another dimension where everything’s pink happy.

Missed Connection 1

Body combat class on a Monday means a sardine-packed studio. There’s the danger of hitting a person with a kick, a jab, or an elbow. But it was fun, especially sweating out with friends. And you were there, in your light brown singlet, black running shorts, combat gloves, and sexy presence. You stood at 11 o’clock, just the right angle for me to see your creamy color and fleshy physique. I was at the back of a large girl, who’s the hapless victim of my hostile concentration. You weren’t distracting, but I just couldn’t help but imagine myself getting into those shorts of yours, how I wanted to lick your smooth skin, and how I wanted to role- and fore-play combat before we plunge into a more intense “workout”.


After recovery, you looked at me as if you noticed I was checking you out. It doesn’t matter who first checked out whom, but I like your show of interest. And you even decided to position yourself near me during the push up portion. I had my chest exercise the night before, so I wasn’t performing really well during that portion. Keyber. I didn’t want to show off. You, on the other hand, showed me how powerful your upper body is in executing the exercise.

I hope I could talk to you. I didn’t have the guts at all. Angas-tingin lang talaga ako.

Our Server is Hung

I understand that language is sometimes an impediment to communication, moreso to understanding. I found the expression funny not because the sender was not fluent in English, but because he meant that the main server crashed, made all processes stop, and all programs from that server appeared to users as if the sessions have just hanged.

There's more to language than meets the eye. You can laugh at how they write in English, you can mock the way they pronounce certain words or speak certain expressions, but you can never ignore the dynamics of working in a multi-cultural environment...

Especially if you're the foreigner.
