SPAKOL - n. (SPA + jaKOL) isang spa na bentahe na ang extra service.

Matapos ang usapang McArthur, Spiderman, Hello world!, at iba pa (sa mga hindi ito alam, usapang tae po ito. isipin ninyo na lang) - sa gitna ng pagkukumbinsi sa kasama naming manlibre ng lugaw o pares matapos ang inuman, lumabas ang terminong spakol. Sabi kasi nung isa naming friend meron daw lugawan malapit sa Timog bago daw sa spakolan sa Kamuning. Bilang tipshhhy na ako, di ko agad nagets yung sinabi niya. Dinig ko nga palakol. Nagets ko lang siya nung inulit lang niya yung sinabi niya. Laking tawa namin bilang ang manlilibre naming friend ay gurl. At ika nga ni gurl, "dapat bang naririnig ko to?!" haha. Tukso pa namin sa kanya na dun niya na lang kami ilibre. "Ba't ko naman kayo ililibre sa ganun?!" halakhakan na naman kami. 

Aksheli, di iyun ang first time kong marinig yung term na yun. Narinig ko siya sa isa ko pang gurl na friend. Ishinare niya kasi noon na nagpupunta daw yung boyfriend nya sa spakol sa may Quezon Ave. At kinikwento pa ni boyfriend kung kelan siya pumupunta at kung ano ginagawa dun. Sabi ng friend ko, "diba, bakit niya kailangan sabihin sa akin yung ganung bagay?! di naman yun yung tipo na gusto mo marinig." Sabi pa ng boyfriend niya naaya lang daw siya ng mga kaibigan niya from their basketball team. Hala! At kasali pala yun sa regimen ng pagiging mahusay na player yung ganung activities. At least andun parin ang camaraderie. the team that spakols together, wins the game together (sa araneta or moa arena).

Di ko naman ikinakailang nagpupunta ako sa ganito. Ganun siguro talaga minsan kapag stress ka. Magpapamasahe ka. Kung magpapamasahe ka na rin, buti na yung may pang pa-good mood sa dulo. Para paglabas mo sa establishment, blooming at blushing ka naman, di yung mukhang nalamutak ka. Ganun din siguro yung logic ng mga basketball players at ibang mga yuppie friends ko. after a stressful training or game, or toxic day sa office, it's good to reward yourself a nice rub down. up and down. up and down.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig

Update to "Possible plot twist with a twist"

So here's the sitch. Plot twist (PT) and I aren't chatting no more. "Why?" you might ask. So here's what happened. On the night we were supposed to meet, he bailed. He said that he was going to his friend's birthday party. I call it BS. We've been planning it for more than a year and we've been talking every day and only that night that he tells me he's not available. I wasn't having it.  Anyway, the next day. I had a misfortune. So, my attention from that night before was all gone. I didn't care about him anymore. All that we talked about and discussed seemed like all lies. I unfriended him from social media. Didn't care for someone can't really communicate and wastes people's time. I recently informed his friend that we were exchanging messages. I also told him that I wasn't surprised about PT flaking because he was also flaky. They're friends after all. So there. That's another charge-it-to-experience kind of thin

Japanese Bathhouse

I have never been to a bath house in my life. My knowledge about bath houses all came from blogs - gay blogs.  I discovered in those blogs that in bathhouses in the Philippines, you should leave all your shyness at the door because everybody walks around naked with cock whipping and balls hanging. There is a wet area where you can find the baths, sauna, steam room and shower. They say that's where the action takes place. So in short, you go to bathhouses if your looking for some titillating escapade. So that's what got me excited when I found out that I am going to go to a bathhouse here in Japan. Well aside from experiencing an authentic bathhouse for the first time, I would get to a see a sausage fest of sorts, have a relaxing massage, and hopefully experience some Japanese fun. I was darn nervous but excited.
