Why I Haven't Lost Hope

Everyday, people ask me why I am not worried that at 26, I am single and have no prospects for a husband. Heck! I haven't even really had a serious long-term relationship. I'm retarded, I know. SHADDUP! Other people are more worried than I am. It doesn't really bother me a lot. I know I whine, blog, and Plurk a lot about boys, having them, not having them, and many other variations of being with them or having problems with them. But the truth is, I am taking things slowly, am just out there to have fun. I am not losing sleep over the fact that my biological clock is ticking and I might never get married or have children. You see, when I broke up with my so-called boyfriend, Ate Aileen told me to take it easy and have fun with teh boys. She literally told me to find, meet up, and maybe date at least three boys per week. I took her advice to heart and didn't take anybody seriously. Rather, I went out there and had fun. I'm still having fun. Right now, I really don't know what it is I want from a guy and from…

My Kuya is My Pimp

One of the major reasons why I don't have a boyfriend or date a lot of guys publicly (LOL!) is because my Kuya, along with most of my other maternal relatives, are judgmental and have way too many requirements for a potential bf. So I dated a guy last week and I made chika to Kuya about it, here's a geist of our chat: Ria: I'm dating this lawyer guy. Kuya: What does he look like? Ria: Average. Kuya: How about dats? (Dats is short for datung or money.) Ria: Heller! He's a lawyer? Kuya: Are you sure he's not poor? Mahirap na kung poor. LOL! Ria: He has cars and he's going to *somewhere expensive* next month. Kuya: Ah, ok. Boto ako dyan! LOLS! Seriously though, I won't ever date a guy again, if he doesn't have my Kuya's and Gwing's votes. It's just easier that way. Plus, I know they judge guys better than I do. They did hate my ex after all. They are tough judges, and I know they won't like just anybody for me. Gwing, for one, wants a nice guy for me. Somebody who's not a two timer, and would treat me nicely. Kuya…

Good Night

The other night, as I was watching TV, random memories came over me. As a kid, I had nightly routine. At around 6 pm, I had dinner with my family. I was a picky eater back then. I didn't eat much veggies. Potatoes, to me, were considered as vegetables. Like most normal kids, I loved fried food... fried chicken, hotdogs, pork chops. I didn't like saucy dishes or soups. When soup is served, I only got the potatoes, and a lot of rice. I would then drown the rice in soup. But I loved Maggi Instant Noodles. I loved instant soups in general. Other soups, however, like sinigang and nilaga, I wasn't fond of. But I did like Bulalo. After dinner, Mommy would then have me and my cousins drink our vitamins. Back then, there was only Enervon-C. So for the longest time, I thought it was the only kind of vitamins in the world. So when we learned about vitamins in school, I got really confused. LOL! Anyhow, I loved the taste of Enervon-C. It's probably the reason why I love sour, citrusy stuff even until now. Come to think of it, the Ponten Cee tablets I take now,…

A Memo to My Exes

Granted I only have one official ex, I think I have enough ex-boylets, ex-suitors, and ex-pseudobfs to make this memo. Anyway... If you have as much as showed or expressed interest in me, you are now required to date only hot chicks or at least those who are prettier or smarter than me (IQ should be 120 and above). Otherwise, you will only give me a reason to applaud my wise decision not to be with you anymore, and laugh at your sorry pathetic ass. I'm not as hot as I make myself to be, so you know... shouldn't be too hard to find somebody more attractive or hotter than I am. I know I have ginormous boobies and a lot of junk in my trunk, so I'll give you guys a free pass and allow you to date less curvaceous girls. But please let them be more attractive than me. Well, most of you exes are ugly anyway, so I guess it might be harder for you to find somebody more attractive than me. Tough luck! And she must be smart, noh? I mean you didn't dump/stop dating/stop courting me just to be with or replace me with an…
