Tawang-tawa talaga ako kanina habang nagbabasa ng Forum...

Tanong: Paano ba magparamdam sa guy?
Sagot: Halikan mo. Pag tinulak ka sabihin mo, "Bakla!".

Panalo talaga e! Haha.

Tanong: Sino pipiliin mo, virgin o di virgin?
Sagot: Di virgin. Masakit din kasi sa pututoy un virgin e.

Kamusta naman?! Haha.

Tanong: How do you bring back the spark?
Sagot: Spark? Ano kayo MERALCO?

SOBRA NA KAYO.

Di pa kayo tumigil ha.

Salamat.

DRESS CODE

It was one hot summer afternoon. The SMS was sent and successfully received, “Coffee Bean at 5. Be there.”

I arrived earlier than usual, waited leisurely for them, enjoying my favorite Chai Latte. When it’s hot, I want it hotter. Then they came, I saw and we conquered. My very own CASHMERE MAFIA. After a few hours of catching up and trying to make the most out of our very rare get-togethers, we resorted to what we do best, scrutinizing each other’s choice of clothes.

I was scolded for wearing something that does not expose skin during summer, a black turtleneck, lacy top. It earned me the crown of “SUMMER IDOL.” This label was created [no] thanks to Abby, whose pair of shoes still has its price tag after months of wearing them. Abby’s fashion emergency was revealed through an observation by AM, whose “curtain-inspired spags under her cardigan” earned her the highly-coveted title “SAKITIN LOOK”. The term was coined by Sam, whose dress was awkwardly open at the back, unnecessarily alerting everyone who is unaware that it was intended to be such. The fashion mishap was a circle, it truly never ended.

AM aptly summarized our “fashion havoc” convention through a query full of flair and flare, “I imagined us to be wearing good clothes when we hangout like this after college. What is wrong with us?”

I took another sip of my Chai Latte and said to myself, “We may not have fully achieved our goal of CREATING A BETTER WORLD, ONE FASHION ENSEMBLE AT A TIME, but other than that, we felt at home, scratch that, we were at home.” We were at Coffee Bean. In this side of town, there is no dress code, only good conversations in between sips of tea and coffee...

CHAI[n?] TEA[r?] LATTE[r!]

It was one of those nights. She was alone, thinking of her “half-meants” and “almost love stories.” As she held her cup of tea, she felt it bring warmth to her unusually cold hands. One sip of her Chai Latte and immediately, she knew what she wanted. A flower of hope blossomed from deeply within her.

We

drink

our

coffee

in silence;

not having

to talk, meet

eye to eye

and interact
is sometimes

easier

and

less

complicated.
The unspoken words are chosen to be unspoken

because they are not mere words but emotions

guised in letters. I watch you purposely, carefully
memorizing how you move and not move. Pretending

to not feel my gaze, I assume, is your way of

protecting you and me. No US, no WE,

just you and me... forgotten. It's really just you.

If you let me, I will talk not through my mouth

but through my heart that silently shouts, "Fool!"

over and over. To be a fool is my comfort, pain is my

wall. There are moments when you're there

yet I don't feel you. I'd rather really
that you hurt me and be there than leave and

bring with you my ability
to feel and be felt.

Don't ever mistake me for sadness,

sadness is my friend.

I am not really alone.

I am with myself.

Go straight to my heart.

I have to write a happier verse.

Rhyme with me. We'll sing-song
our way to happiness -- together.

Pagtanda

Sinasabi ba nila na tumatanda ka kasi habang tumatagal ang paglagi mo sa mundo, mas marami ka natatandaan?

O dahil habang tumatagal, parang nagtatanda ka na sa mga kamalian na nagawa mo?

Baka naman dahil habang nabubuhay ka, maraming mga pangyayari na nilalagyan mo ng pananda hindi lang para maalala, hindi lang para magtanda ka na kundi para sa pagtatapos ng karera mo na tinatawag na buhay, puwede ka lumingon para matanaw ang mga panananda na ito. Iyon ang magiging “view” mo.Ang mga pananda ang magpaparamdam sayo na handa ka sa isang buhay na hindi na kailangang “tumanda”.

Ang labo talaga. Pag tumanda ka na ng sobra, ito rin ang hudyat na makakalimot ka na. Siguro isa lang syang may pahintulot ng Diyos na pagsilip sa kung gaano kapayapa ang buhay na naghihintay sa atin pagkatapos ng buhay na’to.

Siguro.

Whatever happened to the Old "Thai Canteen" in UP Diliman?

Finally, we know where to go when we feel like eating UP's famous thai food.

I will go to KHAO PAD one of these days. Sino sama? Dalawin natin si Mama Thai.

He’s available again, but has tough requirements
By Emily A. Marcelo

MANILA, Philippines – Dear Emily,

I’ve recently separated from my wife after a marriage of over 10 years, and I’m ready to meet other people again. I am thinking of posting my availability in a dating website with the following info about me:

“I’m 35, and by this time I’ve become pretty comfortable with myself: I’m cute (call it handsome?), very intelligent and cultured, and well-mannered to the point of being old-fashioned. I speak several languages and enjoy meeting new people, making new friends and trying out new experiences.

I’m not all wine and roses—if you’re into astrology, I fit the Gemini profile to a T.

I can also be arrogant, sharp-tongued, lazy and cold, and I don’t like to waste my time with fools. I find willful ignorance and stupidity to be among the worst human traits; the mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I’m here because I’m not pleased with what I’ve seen thus far in the so-called ‘singles scene.’ I wonder if the laws of demand and supply are still valid because judging from what’s out there, lots of people seem to have lost touch with reality.

I’d like to meet someone with the same qualities or better, someone with a sharp wit and a strong sense of humor, who appreciates refined company and wants to enjoy life to the fullest.

Someone cute or outright beautiful, very smart (I’m talking over 130 IQ!), with a golden heart, who gives as much as she receives, and understands friendship and loyalty.

In other words, I’m looking for a true woman, whose degrees and diplomas haven’t stumped her sense of fashion and zest for living. Hopefully, we already like and appreciate the same things in life, and we’ll soon discover we think along the same lines.

I’m looking for someone (preferably) between 25 and 30, who’s already had the chance to taste a good chunk of life without becoming blasé or bitter, and did not fall prey to ’torschlusspanik’ either.

You could be petite or as tall as I am... as long as you are not ashamed to look at yourself in the mirror and your self-criticism rings true, that’s the most important thing.

Loudmouthed, bitchy, spoiled pampered brats, skanks and attention whores need not apply. If you don’t know how to properly dress, hold a fork, or spell, we probably won’t get along.

One more thing: I am not in a rush, and I don’t feel any pressure to settle down again. As much as I’d like to find a soul mate (yes, I know it’s a cliché!) Rome wasn’t built in a single day. So I’m fine with just meeting people and hanging out for a while.

With a marriage deteriorating over a long time, I have a void in my social networking; and Ottawa, sadly, can be a very cold town (both literally and figuratively)...

I’m aware of the fact that I’ve been out of the loop, so to speak, for a good while, so I need to relearn a few things, and I’d rather gain a good friend than a lousy relationship.”

Could you use your feminine intuition, knowledge of life and what you’ve been able to see about me, in order to smooth things a bit? I can’t think straight...”

AL

Your letter left me both amused and overwhelmed. You wrote to shock and your no-holds barred requirements for your ideal mate can be intimidating or a turn-off to prospective applicants.

The woman you’re seeking must be devoid of warts on her skin and blemishes in her character, in a manner of speaking? Is there truly such perfection?

You, no doubt, are very intelligent. But something in between your words smacks of frustration and so much void that it’s probably best that you back off from dating for a while.

The issue at hand is not finding a woman so much as you finding yourself first. Get off the market, step back and pinpoint what’s been bugging you. Allow time to erase events that have left a bad taste in your mouth—which is now defining the person you’ve become.

You cannot sate the hunger in your soul—your being—by translating it into a rabid search for the perfect woman.

That woman, if you ever find her, should only be an add-on to your existing happiness and contentment, never as the fountainhead of it.

The success of your search will happen only when you see the pearl in a woman despite her grits and imperfections. Short of cloning yourself, be more down to earth and open your heart and mind to the fact that a beautiful wrapping can never be a guarantee of joy or stability.

Take it one day at a time. And when you’re ready, that woman of your dreams would just emerge—because your time for each other has come.

"I WILL" Pledge for my Birthday

I am using the "BIRTHDAY" card. If you can promise me one thing for the whole year, what will that be and why?

Example:
*I will eat ice cream with you if you suddenly crave for it.
*I will watch a flick with you.
*Babatukan kita pag nagpapakatanga ka nanaman.*I will have sex with you.

Tapos, I can use it once at valid lang until my next birthday. So, pag na-promise nyo, pwede ko kayo i-text the whole year pag biglang gusto ko mag-ice cream. Once lang naman. haha.

Game? Game!
