GROUPIE?!? NOOOT!!!

HINDI AKO GROUPIE!

...and i think it's rather late to be part of whatever east asian fanaticism "bandwagon"

so, what's my point exactly???!? well, it's not that i'm coming clean or what.
fine. i had my fair share of THE mania. but i didn't get OD-ed with it (overdosed i mean).

wala lang, i just noticed that random people come to me and say that i look like kim ha neul.
well, fyi. she's the girl on the picture and she's frequented several korean series that have been shown here in the philley. (oo, siya si jamie sa stained glass... mismo!)

maaring masabi mong nagbubuhat ako ng bangko. hmmm.
let's say that i'm doing a bit of that. so what?!?

it's not like that came from me. as i said, random people give me that comment the moment our eyes met!
exagge naman ata. i'm telling you.
random people may mean those that i know or just met... siblings of my friends. some of my friends. people i meet at functions. colleagues. schoolmates. cousins... and other relatives.

"kamukha mo yung nasa stained glass... si jamie!"

"ate, parang si miday o!"

"alam mo, miday, wag lalaki ang ulo mo ah. pero may kamukha mo si jamie sa stained glass. yiheee."

"kahawig mo yung nasa koreanovela. jamie ba un?"

"mukha kang korean. half-korean ka? parang ikaw yung nsa koreanovela. maganda un."

and i even noticed it myself! hehe.

kakapalan diba?!?
but believe me, when i saw her... i felt like i was looking at myself on tv!
ang ganda ng lola mo!!! hehe.

so un, i was just sharing that piece of me. i know it's a bit weird and all. and yah, you don't have to remind me. it. is. egoistic. soo egoistic of me. to. do. that.

come on. just let it be. let's be egocentric once in a while.
as for me, well.. i make sure that i get a regular dose of it. ha-ha.

****************

oh well, it's your call. YOU BE THE JUDGE! i was just citing some comments.
didn't make those things up. haha. DEFENSIVE?!? well, i'm actually... NOOOOT!!!

beet red

i was caught in the act!

it was a little past eleven in the morning when he walked in the door.
we were at a nearby salon. having our hair done.

the exact same time for my turn on the beauty chair.
everyone noticed that i was changing color. (chameleon? haha!)
i was turning beet red. felt flushed out of embarrassment.

why did he have to see me looking like this!!!!!!! oh.my. gahd.

nakakahiya talaga! i started to make lame excuses.
mapula nman tlga ako ah! (yeah right!)

he left the place. i felt relieved. then my phone started to make that familiar tune.

1 NEW SMS: VIEW NOW?

bakit ka nmmula knina?
(I knew it. hehe. i told him the truth. well, NOT entirely... i seasoned it with some lame whatsits)

******

what will you do if you were in my shoes?
shuxxx tlga. it was sooooo soooooo embarrassing. badtrip!

two birds. one stone.

ACT ONE

jogging tayo sa saturday.
seryoso? tara! wag lang maaga ha. hehe.
ngek. afternoon pa.
alrighty!

come saturday...

are you still up for it? mukhang wala ka na sa mood ah.
ok lang. (silence)
sure ka? ok lang kahit hindi na.
(thinks for a while) ayoko na kasing mag-jogging e. but i want to walk by the beach.
ah, cge, tara na!

they walked out the door and was joined in by another character.

two birds. one stone.

they strolled by the beach. breeze blowing their worries away. soft rain started to fall... and began to become big, fat drops of cold tears from the sky.

they ran for shelter. as if they were little kids.

o, diba, nakapag-jogging ka rin!

seeked shelter at a nearby shed. started to share some sentiments. exchanged a few hearty laughs. the rain trickled until it finally stopped. so they began to walk by the bay... again.

snide remarks started flying. but it was all for fun. they were amused with her sarcasm. she was often weirded out. they trailed their way back to the office. break was over.

"serious mode" (not quite)

two birds. one stone.

ACT TWO

twas a swell tuesday night...

went out to dinner. table was filled with sumptuous viands. pay day, oh yeah!
soon... the table was cleared. enjoyed the hefty meal. half of the group headed their way back home, while the rest stayed.

two birds. one stone.

had their bottles of beer. while she just mustered to have a can of cali.
so things began. it was as if she was on the hot seat. asked to answer the questions thrown her. generally about her personal life... and it had to be about her love life.

she didn't respond to the questions given her. trying to keep things to herself. and then she thought, "oh, what's there to lose!" she began to open up...
but didn't lay her cards fully.
they all seemed interested. or so she thought. it was pretty obvious. she was... again... weirded out.

two birds. one stone.

at present...

call her the "apple of their eyes"... both spend time exchanging sms's.
sharing sentiments. saying that they miss her. that she's special.
showing concern and what not.
she, in turn, keeps her guard. not wanting to interpret things in a different light... adding a dab of color into things. appreciates the friendship.

taking things as it is.

two birds. one stone.

hint*hint*hint

a dab of color in your life...

say that that part of your life is non-existent
veer away, hear hints when such a topic is on it's way
yet hopeful that it would come and find you one day
ah, a sweet sweet time i might say.

*****

HOLD YOUR HORSES!!!! i didn't mean to be poetic right about now.
haha. i guess you NOW have a hunch as to what i'm blabbing about. hhhhmmm?!?

you may want to GET. THE. PICTURE.

a friend once told me this...

"steady ka lang. go with the flow. NEVER ASSUME. it makes an ass out of you and me."

and this...

"it's pretty obvious that he likes you. he wouldn't waste his time, load, etc... if he's not interested. but don't think into things too much. let's just all be happy!"

plus this one...

"yan ang hirap sa mga babae e. lagi na lang nag-aassume at nag-aanalyze. just let things be."

oh and this one too...

" a guy can only do so much... we have to meet them half-way sometimes..."

*****

funny how girls can think differently.. especially when it comes to this topic.
ang galing!:D their ideas have made me think into things.

oo, alam ko, ang baduy ko na. well, i guess my sweetie kax was right. kahit di mo pa aminin sa sarili mo, it feels good when you know that someone cares for you, and treats you in a special way.

ang weird. you feel things, but you don't want to assume. mahirap na kasi. somehow, someone must draw that fine line between loveandwhattriestobeone.

kahit na alam mo, at nararamdaman mo na may certain spark. a hint of chemistry (lagi na lang chem.. wala bang ibang subject?!? hehe). a certain feeling that makes your heart skip a beat... and plants a permanent smile on your face.

yan ang dapat sisihin.. sa pagiging romantiko mo... out-of-the-blue.

tsk tsk. ang baduy. eeeeeewww. THIS IS SOOO NOT ME!

shakes thoughts off her head

*****

tama sila, just let things be. seize the moment. never ever jump into that deeeep shit of conclusion! NE-VER!!! oo na, may spark but don't misread things. live and let live. let things unfold one sweet mystery at a time.

so what kung may hints... AND IT'S ALL OVER. take things as it is.
don't sweat it, sweetie!:*
