Friends

There will be a lot of times in our lives when people will surprise us. The irony is, after all the warnings,even if we know that we are bound to be surprised, we still get surprised. Silly. It's not a secret. People defy rules, codes and secret agreements. People violate what may be violated. Why? Because at that moment, it feels good. Notwithstanding the repercussions, at that exact moment, we give in. We let it be.

The question remains. Was it worth it? Or was it a big waste of time and space and emotion?

We see people ruin their lives because of bad decisions.It's so easy to be logical when you're not involved. It's easy to distinguish what's right from what's wrong when it's not your happiness that's on the line. Does it mean that we shouldn't judge because we are not part of it?

That's the point.

People should start listening to other people...to friends.... if they are not in the position to make good decisions. That's how friendship operates. Friends are supposed to knock logic out of other friends. Not because they are hated, not because they are not appreciated nor accepted. Not because they are loved less, but because they are loved.

We watch each other's backs. We don't turn around and walk away... we take turns in protecting each other. It can only happen when we decide to look in the same direction. Friends don't give up when things get tough. Friends hurt each other to protect each other from far more serious pain.

Friends get disappointed at each other but they stay. Why? Because they're friends... otherwise they're just ENDS.

Inside joke: We rise... and never fall. We rise to infinity and beyond. [hehe]

THE DARE

Last week, as a result of our search for meaning in our otherwise monotonous and alcoholic lives, we embarked on a journey we've never been embarked on before. The ROAD LESS TRAVELED [I wonder why], THE NIGHT WHICH SHALL NOW BE CALLED....

DARE NIGHT.
Are You "Dare"?

Participants:

Nicka Bayot
Ces Pallarca
Ruth Declaro
Jove Capanas
Eunice Monsod

and

Carlo Luna - bet you didn't see THAT coming.

Objective: to be "DARE"

Tasks:

Nicka - pumunta sa big table in front of Starbucks na may nakaupong isang babae. TUmabi ng di nagpapaalam sa kanya at magyosi. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Ruth - Pumunta sa isang table sa loob ng Goodearth at mangaroling. Dapat may makuhang pera. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Euns - Pag-alis ng isang table sa GOODEARTH, ligpitin ito at magpanggap na staff. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Jove - Ilipat ang channel ng TV sa GOODEARTH. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Ces - Pumunta sa table ng isang nagp-PDA na couple sa Starbucks, umupo sa harapan nila at magyosi. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

Carlo - MAGSALITA. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED] Nanlibre pa ng beer. hehe.

GROUP DARE: Umupo sa magkakahiwalay na table at uminom mag-isa. [MISSION ACCOMPLISHED]

IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL DARE NIGHT.

We have proven that WE ARE "DARE".

Therefore, in addition to The Lane, THe Line and the Lone... another bar shall be named...

THE DARE.
Are you Dare?

Beggars can't be...

... CHOOSY.

-AR Polinar

It was last night's quotable quote. Of course, one could only take a guess as to what we were talking about. Love, sex, prayers, songs, panawid-gutoms, maggots, "if you were's", snakes, sharks and a whole lot of "acting out shit."

Because San Miguel Beer is not an option anymore and our nightouts just became more interesting and expensive, I LOVE IT. Because we just had to talk about the VENGA BUS and SPICE WORLD and all the cheesy, jologs and kadiri childhood fads that we went through.

PLUS the ever recurring A WALK TO REMEMBER CONVERSATION triggered by anything that can be connected to it, music, films.. hell, it can even start from a totally remote topic like... uhmm, homosexuality. Don't get me started.

Cheers to our LAST THIRD FRIDAY as LAW STUDENTS.

As a tribute to all the feelingeros in the world, lemme share our "song of the night" by SHania Twain.

That Don't Impress Me Much

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius-you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're a rocket scientist
That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you're Brad Pitt
That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!

Oh-oo-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night

That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much

Okay, so what do you think you're Elvis or something...
Oo-Oh-Oh
That don't impress me much!

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-No
Alright! Alright!

You're Tarzan!
Captain Kirk maybe.
John Wayne.
Whatever!
That don't impress me much!

"TYPE O"

Ok Fine

Dear Eunice,
Here is your single's love horoscope for Wednesday, October 8:

Even though an initial encounter may have rubbed you the wrong way, that doesn't mean the person should be crossed off your potential lovers list. Give them a second chance to show you what they're made of.

A Fairytale Convert

... because love works, if not for me, at least for other people.

I used to believe in fairytales, in happy endings, evil stepmoms, stepsisses and happily ever after. It wasn't as bad as a lot of cynics would portray. Fairytale-believers are not exactly delusional geeks who run around looking for "the one", or more appropriately said, "the prince." A lot of times, they are just level-headed women waiting to be caught offguard, to be stuck in an "aha" moment. We don't look for magic, we just look for spark, sexual tension, whatever it is that you feel when you are faced with the possibility of riding the prince, este, the horse. [Ngii]

Fairytales are not all sugar and spice and everything nice, sometimes you have to sing, no matter how hopeless the situation is [subukan mo kumanta ng depressed ka sa harap ng maraming tao, tingnan natin kung madali], sometimes you have to talk to animals not because you're crazy but because they are the only ones willing to listen. Sometimes, you have to look at your own mirror and assure yourself, pretend like you are the spirit inside it, and say that you are the fairest of them all.

The Prince Prototype doesnt have the grandest of cars or the most lucrative of jobs, he just has that certain "oomph" that specifically appeals to the Damsel-not-in-distress but is definitely stressed. He could be that guy who smokes with you when you are perfectly fine with smoking alone, that guy who sits right across you while you and your oily face try to survive a night of Constitional Law marathon and smiles at your really grumpy expression. He could be the one who doesn't say hi, doesn't say goodbye but says the right things at the most awkward of moments. He could be that person who holds your hand and helps you go down the stairs like a true blue prince aiding his princess. Or he could be an asshole. Your asshole.

Then the evil stepmoms and stepsisters, they think you're not good enough. But unlike in the classic faiytales, you don't give a damn. Because for you, they don't matter. Ahh, and that sidekick. The fairygodmother, soft spoken friend, talking animal? That's still you, only human.

How does it end? You love. Whatever happens after is just an obiter dictum. In the end, to be able to love is your "moment", it's your first kiss, your first dance, your first makeout session, your first *toot*. That's your happily ever after.

[insert some falsetto-singing moment]

THE END

Ahh...

Dear Eunice,
Here is your single's love horoscope for Tuesday, October 7:

Love doesn't always have to be full of heartache and drama. Your chances of romance without unpleasant surprises could be improved if you date a few grounded, level-headed people for a change.
