If you have been reading this blog, listening to my podcasts, and following me in micro blogs and SNS, you probably know a lot about me already. I am single. Not actively seeking for a boyfriend, but hoping for a new adventure. I am not looking for anybody specific, but somebody I can spend days and night conversing with. Somebody interesting and willing to do stuff together, go to new places, experience new things. Somebody who will encourage and inspire me to do better. Somebody I can nurture and take care of. Three years ago, I wrote a list of qualifications for the guy(s) I would date or be in a relationship with. Back then I have not had any boyfriends or ex-es, only almost and not quite relationships. Some of those items in the list have changed, some remain true til this day. Right now, I have a special place in my heart for guys in these three professions: lawyers, engineers, and basketball players. Lawyers are usually great speakers and decent writers who are interested (or at least obliged to know about) current events and the news. If find these guys intellectually stimulating and very challenging and interesting to…
No Pork FAIL!
I have already failed for in my No Pork this June diet. I ate Lechon Paksiw during our dinner with Orman last week and I ate grilled liempo when I ate dinner with Dulce last night. FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! As penalty, I will be extending No Pork for two weeks. And I will not eat rice and drink soda for the rest of the month of June beginning tomorrow. Wish me luck! :)
Podcast 4: Friends to Lovers?
By request from Vanjohnn Mendoza, a young blogger from Cebu, my podcast is all about friendships and how these turn into romantic relationships. In this episode, I talk about how the media influences our ideas about this, how some people can get the wrong idea about their friends of the opposite sex, mixed signals, friendship as a foundation of a romantic relationship, and more. Listen as I try to make sense of a very interesting but complicated issue... To download this podcast, right click, and pick “Save link as…”: LINK.

Let’s Just Fall In Love Again
I absolutely love this song by Jason Castro, Let's Just Fall In Love Again... Uh huh... uh huh... uh huh! I looove that song. It's so catchy and the lyrics are so kilig. :) No I don't want to fall in love with my ex. It's more complicated than the most complicated differential calculus problem I have encountered. And no, I am not yet in love or dating another guy right now. I have been honestly busy with work and organization tasks. Hindi po ako nagpapakabait coz I am secretly dating anybody. Kusang loob po ang pagbe-behave. CHE! But I am looking forward to falling in love again. Despite the heartbreaks and the bad experiences of other people, there's still a part of me that wants to fall in love again. I look forward to long conversations with a smart, good-looking guy who will make me feel secure and inspire me to be a better person. At least that's what my FB status says. Kidding! Of course I want to fall in love, love, and be with someone. Someone who'll understand me or at least try to understand me, and support me all the way. In the same way I'd…
Ateneo Human Knights Film Festival
I was invited to the press screening of the Ateneo de Davao Human Knights Film Festival. The Human Knights Film Fest is the public screening, competition, and awarding of the film projects of the Communications majors under AdDU Faculty member Ronald Gary Bengil Bautista. Gary Bautista is himself a multi-awarded indie filmmaker, having won numerous awards in the 5th Mindanao Film Festival for his film Sandugo. Bautista taught and mentored his students for a semester and the Human Knights Film Festival is the culmination of their class for the second semester of SY 2009 - 2010. First up was dramedy Tick Tock by JP Curay. Tick Tock is a Bisaya film by Cinesthesia Films, produced by Abby Araullo. It stars Jessa Mabasag as a girl with only 24 hours to live. The catch? She is young and a virgin. LOLS! The film is funny and a bit sexy peppered by of course, some drama. The second film was more serious and darker, Hatsu Tamo, a Japanese language film by Jap-Fil Hashiko Nagasaki. It is an emotional suspense movie. My favorite among the four films was Thy Will Be Done by Kristian Somera. It is produced by Carmelle Jumawan and stars…
