Feeling Half the Man I Am

I had a bad day today. I could sing James Blunt's song over and over again.

Thinking this might be a chance to make her laugh and believe I'm a fun guy, I was around my office crush when I accidentally blurt out the wrong words to the wrong person. In front of her.

"May crush ka sa akin ano?" (You do have a crush on me, right?).

It would have been a different story if I said it to her. But I said it to the messenger, who's a guy by the way. He just looked at me and smiled at me.

Witnessing what just happened, another office mate said " Ilabas mo na kasi ang totoong kulay mo, mahirap itago yan!"( Show your true colors, that's very hard to repress! ).

Talk about the getting a head shot by a cannon. Total wreckage.

By the way, she laughed. Mocking me.

Kobe in Manila

I'm not a hardcore fan of NBA but I respect Kobe Bryant for his playing prowess.

Some say his talent is close to the basketball legend Michael Jordan.

I joined some promo over the radio wherein you need answer a question about Kobe Bryant.

By the way, I'm not into basketball.

When I called in, the DJ asked.."What is Kobe Bryant's height?".

Damn.

Relying on my minute basketball knowledge and knowing that he plays the guard position,
I quickly replied, " 5' 8!".

Mali. Natabla pa ako ng DJ. ( Dude, if he's 5'8", I can play in the NBA! )

Anyway, lady luck was still at my side the next day when I called in again.

They asked the same question and answered correctly ( 6'6").

Anyway, i won a couple of tickets to see Kobe Bryant in person!

Kobe Bryant in Manila is part of Kobe's Asian Supernatural Tour, wherein he visits underprivilaged children who likes to play ball for his guidance and support.
He's going to be here on September 5 , at the Philsports Arena ( Ultra ) in Pasig City. He also will visit a Nike Park branch at the Fort Bonifacio.

My Theater Frustations...Answered by Trumpets Inc.!

I am a good singer.

I am! And I will be a recording artist.

Well, that was what I thought until I joined a singing competition at the office, and a judge commented on my lack of skill.

Oh well.

But I still want to be a good singer. The best singer perhaps.

So I joined Trumpets Inc. (...to answer my frustation )

Trumpets Inc. is a gospel theater group. They have been teaching street dancing, modelling, musical theater and othermusic lessons for almost ten years. The organization was known for their teaching method; the injection of spirituality and morality while conducting their workshops. And with this, they have been successful. Not only in their way of method of teaching, but also their productions! Few of their successful productions include the Little Mermaid, Joseph the Dreamer and Honk. And believe me, these are really big ones.

I haven't watched any of these productions, but I heard very good reviews and feedbacks from friends who have seen them on stage.



I'm getting excited! I'm gonna let you know what happens next on this workshop of mine. Maybe I will not be so single anymore after I attend the first class!

I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed!!!

Single Moments

1. Everyone(even the pretty girl at the next office cubicle) around you has a girlfriend. You're the only one who doesn't.

2. Sleepless nights.

3. Listening to Coldplay's Fix You. And you seem to get lost in it.

4. Reading Arnold Arre's After Eden. Then you start to believe that the story could happen to you.

5. One Tree Hill. Admit it, pal.

6. You seem to hug your pillow a little bit harder everytime.

7. Browsing your cell's phonebook for the next girl you can invite for a movie.

8. Porn.

9. Ocean Deep by Cliff Richard. Or any other love song you can connect the lyrics to.

10. Asking your parents what age did they get married your mom says " Your dad was 27 then...". Then you say to yourself " I'm 22, I still got 5 years..".


I mean, what's the point of going to the gym if you don't have someone you can show your well toned body, right?

Food Food Food

I've been going on a diet for the last three months to ready myself for my next date.

And its killing me.

I literally starve myself just to lessen the fat deposits already accumulated through out my body.

( "Maintain your 2000 calories per day diet or else.. " said my doctor).

But I found two treasures that can satisfy your sweet tooth and not worry much about your diet! ( Well, sort of..)


1. Holy Kettle Corn Popcorn




I've been bingeing on these for the last month everytime I eat lunch with my office mates, and I don't feel the guilt! It's really good! It's popcorn with a twist, it has a sugary-salty taste that makes it so addicting.

It's best shared. Do not attempt to finish the Big bag all by yourself.

Damage: the Small bag costs 25 pesos while the Big bag is 60 pesos.
Area: They can be found almost anywhere!

2. Cafe Breton



We had a dinner out with my office mates last week and they suggested this place. I've never been to Cafe Breton before but after I tasted their crepes, I really enjoyed it.

Try their Le Magnifique crepe. It has a banana and chocolate filling, topped with almonds, whipped cream and more chocolate. Again, do not attempt to eat this alone. We ordered two of this, we're six, and didn't even finish it!

And its a good date place, by the way. : )

Damage: Their crepes ranges from 150 to 200 pesos and can serve two persons.
Location: Ground Floor, Greenbelt 3

There.

Office Romance - A Go or a Boo?

I have read an article about things that can ruin your career( in other words, can get you fired from your job).

(I do hope you already know those things by the way.)

Anyway, I' m gonna get to the point.

A sentence stated..

" Never start an office romance."

Really?

Am I reading this right?

So I thought about it..

I was getting cozy with a pretty girl at the office and I do think were going fine ( We're friends already!) . I really intend to put another foot forward to finally negate my NGSB status. But when I read the article, I doubted.

Read: " Starting an office romance can ruin you career - with a supervisor - it may raise questions about you work abilities. With a subordinate - it may be misconstrued as sexual harassment."

That's when I remembered an elder colleague telling me when during my first days at the company.." Do not shit on your own backyard..especially when it comes to office romance".

He's plainly telling me that DO NOT START a relationship at the workplace.

Being single, I was really excited on meeting( of course, meeting means dating) ladies at the workplace. And there are a lot of beautiful ladies ( Lucky Me! ) where I work.

But when I thought about it, again, maybe it's the right thing to do. It can really ruin you career in a way. For example, if ever I asked for relationship and it didn't work out, there will be a tension between us and the feeling of uneasiness will be felt by both sides and can ruin the atmosphere of camaraderie among us. And of course our colleagues too.

Will I still continue it even if I'm really longing for a relationship?

Now I'm definitely down and in doubt.
