Full Circle to Naiveté

Posted on by Yoshke in Blurts, Love |

Have you ever felt something sooo INTENSE you feel like you are going to blow anytime? Well, that’s what I’m feeling right now. That’s what I’ve been feeling since I met this guy. I have never felt something like this before. This is the beginning of a potential obsession.

You know the Mr. Perfect I painted on my mind when I was still naive and then later on, I realised he couldn’t possibly exist? The type that would make me fly to Amsterdam and get married as soon as possible? That’s him.

When I first laid eyes on him, I was shocked because he looked so mighty familiar. I had dreamt about him since the very minute I turned bisexual. But then he was imaginary and unreal. And now, I met him. My Mr. Perfect. (Yeah, I know nobody’s perfect but I’m sure you get me.)

When I first saw him, I told myself, “This can’t be real. He can’t be real.” I created a picture of my Mr. Perfect in my head, and then I found someone who looks EXACTLY like him. “He can’t be real.” But he is.

Every time I see him, I freeze and melt on the spot. I feel like I would do anything just to have him. ANYTHING. And the funny part is, I think he notices his effect on me — sublime, excruciating and mortifying, all at the same time.

The sad part part is, I know that nothing I do can make that possible. Argh. I think he’s straight.

But sooner or later, I will get him. Someday, he will be mine. (Naks! Conviction!) In the meantime, I shall divert my attention to something more useful. Like beer. Or blogging. Or other guys.

“…And now I walk around without a care.
He’s got me hooked; It just ain’t fair, but I…
I’m love stoned and I could swear that he knows
Think that he knows, oh, oh
He knows, he knows…”

PS: Contrary to what you might be thinking right now, hindi ito libog. This is sooo beyond lust. He’s charming and smart. He’s my Mr. Perfect.

Someone so dear to me has just so casually called me “childish” and “immature.” It’s not a big thing really. But I don’t know why I’m bothered until now. Maybe because I think it’s true.

I just got a new haircut. I don’t like it. Uh. I think I want to kill a hairstylist right now. I’m contemplating which weapon to use. Scissors? Blade? Razor? Hairspray?

My sister borrowed some PhP100,000 from me. She said she couldn’t touch her savings and she wanted to start a business. I told her I would only lend her money if she agreed to give me 50% of the profits. She did. So yeah, I think I’m starting a new business. Wish me luck.

To you son of a bitch, STOP PESTERING ME! I did not screw your boyfriend. I maybe bitchy but I’m not a bitch. He’s cute a’right. But he’s insufferably dumb. All the poor guy knows about is “fashion.” I doubt if he can even spell it. He just gives me migraine attacks the way chocolates do. At least, chocolates have nuts. So. Fuck. Off.

Hey, I was hoping I could display or embed the Flash I made for you here on my blog. But I couldn’t find a way. So I’ll just give you the link. Click here.

I know it’s cheesy or mushy or whatever goddamn adjective you want to call it. But what the heck? I still spent a full hour making that. So you HAVE to see it. Hehehe.

Happy Birthday.

Comes all the way back around…”

I interrupt my regular blogging updates with a great, great news. The UP Pep Squad finally wins back the UAAP Samsung Cheerdance Competition championship. Just when I decided not to go to the Araneta Coliseum to see it live because not the slightest expectation that this would happen entered my mind. But come on, after an embarrassing men’s basketball record, my university turned out to be still full of surprises. So much for balance of nature. I love’t. Congratulations to the UP Pep Squad! At sa lahat ng mga iskolar ng bayan! Yebah. And for that, I shall get drunk tonight. After all, there’s a dinner party at home to celebrate the memory of my dad.

“…Matatapang, matatalino.
Walang takot, kahit kanino,
Hinding-hinde magpapahuli,
Ganyan kaming mga taga-UP!!!”

Yey. Finally.

I just freakin’ wish you feel the same for me.
Whatever it is that we have, it’s officially dead. I killed it. OK. It’s resurrected. Hehehe.

But I know, it’s never really over. And it’s not over. I hope it won’t be.

Besides a Goodlooking Man…

… the only thing I desperately want right now is a round-trip ticket to the Arctic. Gawd, it’s so damn hot. And the news says it’ll still get hotter. These are the days I dislike living in a tropical country. Somebody save me!

Be Without You – Mary J. Blige

I’ve just arrived from the six-week camp I joined since January 3. It was so fun, yes. But to tell you the truth, it was oh-so-painful, too. After loving and being loved by the kids we were with, parting time was something I dreaded. Until now, it pains me. I really have some attachment problems that I really need to do something about. Anyway, I would love to write about that camp but I just can’t right now. Not that laziness got the better of me. It’s just that I can’t. But I will do it soon — complete with pictures.

Meanwhile, I’m going to write about the recent Grammy Awards. I was disappointed. I am a Dixie Chicks fan. Not a big fan, though. Just a fan. And I love the song Not Ready to Make Nice. It really deserves the Song of the Year Award. But I really, really believe that the Record of the Year Award should’ve been given to Mary J. Blige for Be Without You.

Damn. I miss the kids so much.

Waaaah! I’m losing focus because I’m preoccupied with the thought that I may not be able to see those kids again. It’s sooo sad.

Anyway, to Jordan, Daniel, and Chun, I know you’ll be visiting this website, I just want to say, “Hello.” Haha.

Waaaaaaah! I miss the kids! THE KIDS!!! THE KIDS!!! Especially Peter.

I’ve gone berserk! God knows what I might do to this damn keyboard. Hahaha.
