I spent the weekend in internet-less rural Laguna. You know, those places where we have to hunt wild boars for food and offer burnt sacrifices to Maria Makiling to prevent the dragon from eating the sun, hence delaying the end of the world and giving the tribes more time to engage in orgies and human sacrifices.

Not Laguna

But that’s not the entire point of the article. You see, my grandparents live in that place. But that still is not my point.

You see, my aunt got married two months ago and since me and my aunt have a very small age gap (see what I did there, tita?) she finally got relieved of the pressure of getting married and stuff. And guess who the grandfolks set their eyes on next.

Clue: His name starts with “A” and ends with “de Magnaye”.

So cue clueless Ade, walking into the nipa hut (yes, they live in a nipa hut. I kid not. Well, the nipa hut’s got airconditioning. So whatev.), greeting his grandfolks like he always does. Then his grandpa, sensing a moment of weakness, drops the bomb:

“Say, Ade, when are you getting married?”

You do not ask that to a single 25-year old who has no plans of getting married just yet because 90% of the women he meets treat him as a gay best friend only straight while the remaining 10% treat him as a sexual offender.

In time, I’d forget how you look like. Your eyes, your prominent cheekbones, the spiked hair you wanted to have dyed. Perhaps I’d even forget your name and the sound of your voice will slowly fade from my memories. We spent just a few hours together anyway and I did not have a clue of your existence prior to that fateful night.

I’d move on with my life and you will, too, a million miles away from me. We’d never see each other again as our love story was merely meant to be 9 hours long. The credits rolled a little too early.

But let it be known that I will never forget about you. You, who held my hand as we walked on the pavement by the sea. We did not care if we stood out among the crowd of people in jogging wear and sweatshirts. For once, I felt like someone was there to take care of me and I was reminded that I, too, am a woman. I will not forget how your fingers encased my palm nor how your pulse beat against mine.

Ibang-iba na talaga ang weather natin ngayon. Hindi ko na nga ma-comprehend dahil lagi na lang pabagu-bago. Ngayon maaraw, tapos maya-maya lang biglang bubuhos ang mala-waterfalls na buhos ng ulan. Ituloy ang reading…

2008 World Pyro Olympics - Day 2

What’s with WPO and the rain? I do not know. But ever since the 1st WPO, there is always a day or two where it rains so hard either in the afternoon or right when the first participant is ready to lit the skies, and again we’re dripping, soaked, wet!

But just like in the previous WPO’s (especially the 1st WPO), people stood their ground and never left their places, who cares about the rain when you are about to see one of the world’s best fireworks? The crowd started to

Everyone knows I am kikay. One look at me and many will say… Ahh, yes you definitely are. Because I am like that, I take great effort to take care of myself and to try to look good. I am very particular with the clothes, the makeup brands, the shoes, and the skincare I buy for myself. I also make sure that my body gets a good de-stressing by getting a good massage once in a while or visit spa’s to get a quick facial.

But… this is the first time that I have experienced the diamond peel.

The Fish & Co Seafood restaurant is one of my favorite dining places in Makati. I accept that their prices are way beyond my daily budget (or even my weekly) but there are times when the craving for fish and chips justifies blowing your budget to smithereens. To satisfy my desire to eat fish and chips, I have devised a plan to convince a friend or even several friends to come and share the dining experience with me.

I know this is old stuff, but it’s funny since I have this conception and “sort of” short-hand observation that many bloggers today don’t even know how to get even a handful of traffic from digg. I’ve based my observations, of course, from my regular drops of entrecard. This idea, and perhaps my month long pre-occupation of digg, is fueled by my attempt to join the digg community. I’ve asked a friend about how to get that many diggs in an instant and, I believe, that also somehow strike a chord in me to research further about how to better improve my digg experience. So, expect more of these kinds of digg-crazy articles later on.

And now for the things you need to know. What makes an article a Super Digg Front Pager?
