This one is for the guy who has finally captured the heart of my fab friend Kring aka FunnySexy... Dear you, It is quite obvious that Kring has fallen in love with you. I have not yet. This is a warning my dear boy... A lot of people love Kring dearly and I am one of those people. So please do take care of her and do not make her cry. Else you will suffer the wrath of throngs and I mean throngs of people including her family, relatives, friends, blog readers, and fangirls. Kring is a fabulous, nice, talented, beautiful person and she deserves to be happy. Make her happy. Take care of her and love her sincerely and faithfully. Do not add to her stress. Inspire her to help her become the most kick-ass person she can be. Otherwise... JOGULE! (Yes, I know a bit of Koryan... and a whole lot of Tae Kwan Do!) I am watching you. Yours truly, Ria Jose Photo courtesy of Chatee Lara.

Losing Love and Losing Confidence
"I did not know back then that all the promises he had made me how empty they were. If there had been no promises, would it have been easier for me right now? Even though I know how baseless his talk is, I hate myself for wanting to believe them... I hate myself for still wavering at the meaningless glances... for dwelling upon it like this. Losing love may just mean losing one’s self-confidence." - Kim Sam Soon, My Name is Kim Sam Soon Episode 3 That is a line from one of my favorite TV Series, My Name is Kim Sam Soon. After breaking up with her boyfriend for several years, Sam Soon feels like her life is on a limbo. And I can totally relate. The break up didn't just cause heartaches for Sam Soon, but also doubt and uncertainty. She suddenly felt lost and insecure, unsure of what the future will be, whether she will love again and get married, if she will be able to move on and trust again. We have all felt that. It takes a mighty lot of self-confidence to have never felt that kind of loss. When one breaks up, a person…
Save Yourself
This is an open letter... to myself. Dear Ms Jose, I know you still love him. (unsure) And we know you shouldn't. Stop yourself. While you are smart enough to know he's never going to choose you and that he's not coming back to you, we know there's a part of you still hoping. Stop. Your pride is hurt. In every possible way, you should have been the one as he was your one. But you are not his one. You might never be. If only we didn't love Math, we'd say it's impossible that he's ever coming back. But Mathematically speaking, the only thing we are certain about is that nothing else is certain. ANYWAY, yes, you were and still is the better girl... more beautiful, smarter, and you treated him better than he deserved. And yes you loved him. Sincerely. Selflessly. Whole-heartedly. And you were stupid. But you must let go. Yes, you have moved on. At least, you are trying to. But have not let go. You are still hanging to that very small flicker of hope. Save yourself the trouble. He is not coming back. He is not going to mend your broken heart. He will…
Happy Beginnings
Growing up, I was exposed, a most kids are, listening and reading fairy tales. Eventually, I grew fond of reading romance stories and novels, and watching romance movies. Yes, I am a sucker for those stuff. And most of those stuff are boy meets girl stories. From the romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle to the tearjerker An Affair to Remember, every girl meets a guy in a memorable way. Whether it be a Filipino movie such as the Sharon Cuneta and Aga Muhlach starrer Kung Ako Na Lang Sana or the Korean series Kim Sam Soon... the guy and the girl meets the girl in an extraordinary circumstance. Whether they have known each other for a long time or just a short while, the first meeting is always memorable. Yes, in those romance novels, in the movies, tv series, and even in some real life stories of love, the first meeting is always remarkable. And that's how life has been for me... remarkable beginnings. Whether it be in the poker tables or the casino, in a bar, in the coffee shop, in a gaming shop, online, offline, through chat, via SMS, or even through a pageant, the introductions have been…
Valentine's Day
I will probably love this movie... The song and the trailer are enough to make me love the movie. I know... I'm mababaw. I enjoy watching romantic movies. Plus there's Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, and Ashton Kutcher. And is that Mc Steamy? OH YEAH! :) And I see mah love Topher Grace and the diva Queen Latifah in the credits. <3 "Love is the only shocking act left on the planet." LOVE THAT LINE! And no, Jessica Biel's character... it's not our fault we're alone on Valentine's Day. See you at the cinema! :)
Valentine's Date
Inspired by Ate Aileen and Kuya Jay's love story, I asked myself, have I ever had a Valentine's date? And the answer was a big no. OUCH! But some very interesting things happened to me in past Valentine's Days. We used to spent it in school for Teachers' Day, right? I think I received one or two flowers during those days. When I was in Fourth Year High School, we had PMT (CAT) Graduation practice on February 14, 1999. On that day, I received news that I passed the Ateneo College Entrance Test and I was Freshman Merit Scholar. Good news, right? It was also the day that a "suitor" of mine and I had a nice heartfelt talk where he gave me roses and I realized, I didn't like him much to commit to him. In college, I would usually spend Valentine's Day alone or eating out with cousins. In 2008, I spent it with my cousins and aunts. It was me and the rest of us singles eating a lot of steak and seafoods. YUM! Of the four of us present that day, only Kuya Andrew and I remain single. LOL! I wasn't technically single that time, but…
