Awestruck


Ang saya lang ng experience ko tonight. Humanga at namangha talaga ako sa talk ni CorpCloset kanina sa Loveyourself hub. Though I am not in the corporate scene marami pa rin akong nakuhang insights on being inside the closet in the workplace. Gusto ko sana mag-takedown notes kaso baka magmukhang eng-eng na. baka may quiz sa huli e. haha. Anyway, sarap lang ng discussion kanina at ang crowd active sa pag-participate. Syempre, since nag-iisa lang ako pumunta, may certain hiya pa ko. Tsaka first time ko rin kasi sa lugar kaya reserved lang kunwari.  Ang pinakahinangaan ko kay CC ay kung paano niya dalhin yung sarili niya. Parang may certain aura ng authority. Siyempre, maging CEO ka ba naman di mo pa ba makukuha yung ganun. Tsaka kung ide-describe ko siya para siyang prof ko dati na doctor, tingnan mo pa lang alam mo na'ng mabango, malinis, at alaga ang katawan. He's someone I would like to be when I reach his age. May nakita na kong bagong role model. Noong natapos na yung talk, gusto ko makipagkamay man lang bago ko umalis. Yun lang naman talaga purpose ko ng pagpunta eh. joke. Feeling ko tuloy fanboy na fanboy ang dating ko. Yung mga blogs  kasi nila ang mga una kong binabasa noong nagsisimula palang ako mag-blog din. Nanginginig tuhod ko at kinakabahan noong nagpakilala ako kela Mcvie at kay CC. hehe. Sayang lang at di ko natodo ang pagka-fanboy dahil nakalimutan kong magpapicture kasama ng mga Fabcasters. pang-scrapbook sana. tapos lalagyan ko ng ribbons, burloloy like petals. ganyan. hehe. pramis. chinarge ko pa talaga yung camera ko bago ako umalis ng bahay. kaya sayang din. I hope may iba pang chance na makasama ko sila. 

Ang saya at sarap talaga ng feeling na makilala yung mga tao sa likod ng mga twitter at blog na sinusundan mo. Ang sarap lang malagyan ng mukha yung bawat idea, kwento, at buhay na noon ay nababasa mo lang. Katulad noong nangyari noong Biyernes naman nang makilala ko sina Babit, Aaron, Nikki, Nate, at Garbeej. Salamat nga pala sa pag-welcome kahit sabit lang ako. Sayang lang at di ko daw naabutan sina Leo, Nimmy, Jap, BS, at Ryan. Sana may iba pang pagkakataon sa susunod para makasama ko ulit sila.

Sa mga pagkikitang ito, napapatunayan kong ilan ang twitter at blog (in general) sa mga magagandang venues to meet interesting people - people you won't usually get to know especially if your're living inside the closet.

    So you were there at CC's corporate talk for PLUs. I signed up but Kane already invited me to watch the Taiwan film fest at Shang.

    I would have loved to see the serious side of CC. Oh well.

    Perhaps next time.

    And oh yeah, you were suppose to meet Japs and the gang at Libis too?

    Wasn't there also.

    But hopefully we'll see each other soon. ;)

      CC was really being candid. I did think I would see his serious side but I was glad to see him smiling and laughing during his talk.

      Yeah, looking forward to see you :)

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...

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

A Walk to Equanimity Spa

I was just feeling really tired that day. There was all sort of stress that came my way that week - coming from deadlines from school and from the chaos in the family. All I want was just to have a relaxing massage since it has been a week since my last one. It was just fitting to reward myself with a good old rub down to ease tension from my body and my mind. So that night, I decided that I would get a massage no matter what. The bus I rode from school dropped me off at Kamuning Road. I decided not to go to my suking massage place because the new attendants there were young and very much inexperienced, as far as massage technique is concerned. That night I wanted quality massage really worth paying money for. In Kamuning, I remember passing-by a number of spa before. So I walked the street from EDSA to scout the area and look for a good massage place. The first spa that I passed-by had a black brand (which name I could not remember). It seemed nice but the feeling I had made me w...
