OK OK... It's Scary

This was just really scary... Any of my friends who will read this can totally testify to the factual nature of this "analysis."

Libra - Your Love Profile

Your positive traits: You are open minded enough to date outside your typical "type" ... successfully! You are diplomatic - and likely to end a fight instead of dragging things out. You are easily loyal and faithful, but only for the right person. Your negative traits: You're a bit gullible, and partners take advantage of you. You still may not know it. You find it difficult to decide where to go to dinner, what movie to watch, who to date... You have to be in a relationship, or else you just don't feel like yourself. Your ideal partner: A smooth talker who enjoys socializing as much as you do. Someone classy and cultured who knows which wine to order with dinner. Is beautiful to you - although not necessarily attractive in the traditional sense. Your dating style: Romantic. If your date comes bearing flowers, wine, and poetry... well, your heart soars. Your seduction style: Giving. Your lover's pleasure is as important as your own. Soft and sensual - you don't like anything to be rough. Extravagant ... your fantasy involves staying at a five star hotel with your love. Tips for the future: Don't be so quick to compromise in relationships - and you'll get taken advantage of yes. Try being single for a while. Seems impossible, but you'll learn so much about yourself from doing so. Make some decisions about your romantic life, right now. You'll be happy that you did. Best color to attract mate: Green Best day for a date: Wednesday

My Latest "March" Song...

I always encounter a song out of the blue and think, damn, if I were going to get married (IF), I would love that song to be my march song... This is my latest "March" song.




I Found A Reason by Cat Power

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before

And youd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

A Week of Reunions

The past week (actually last couple of days) saw me reuniting with really great friends. These friends have been part of my life for quite a while now.

Thursday night was a reunion with Elementary and High School friends. Having known these people for almost 20 years simply means endless tales of our history. Funny moments in school, hilarious teachers and classmates, and everything in between. It was nice to see everyone continues to succeed in their chosen paths. Lea is married, with a cute "baby" boy, Kyle, and is now finishing her nursing degree. Cel continues her career path in human resources at no less than the World Health Organization, and lastly, Gerome, who was our class valedictorian, continues to excel in his medical field. We hope he gets his shot at that interview in December . I'm hoping to see more of these people. It was so much fun hanging out with them. (see you guys sooner!)

Photos from that night out:




Friday night was with my ACN best buds. It was Vane and Alizza's birthday party. Great fun. Loved the food. *burp* I'm still full. Glad to see Philip, Kit, Mai, Sharon, Jacq, and Nescel. It's been a while I hope to see more of them soon.

Dag nabit!

I seriously need an overhaul.

I just had a epiphany a few seconds ago. I'm turning 29 in a few days and what have I to say for myself. Sure my career's in full swing but what have I got to prove that? Sure I've gone through relationships but being single now just means they were all failures.

On a different topic, I was browsing through a site I thought I got out of my system and saw a post from someone who's 25 and is looking for someone younger because he wanted to be the one taking care of whoever it is he's looking for. That got me thinking... am I supposed to be in that situation? What if I want to be taken cared of? Have I exceeded my "Best Before" date?

I need something to get me back on the reins and just look forward to what other things life has to offer. I MUST not make relationships be the basis of who I am and what I am. I must.... "review" how to love myself again, just like before.

For now, I'll mope just to get this done and over with.

That Was the Best Thing Ever

I'm sorry for those of you who just got clogged with updates from my site but I noticed this morning that Angelo (a good friend of mine) just had loads of Multiply blog posts and they were all made within a 10 minute period. So it got me thinking there must be an upload section here for those of us with blog sites somewhere else.

Hence, I figured it out. When you post a blog entry here in Multiply, on the lower page is a link to getting your blog posts from another site. I then decided to migrate my blogspot entries here on Multiply.

But wait, that's not all. You apparently also have cross posting capabilities, meaning, if you decide to post either on your other blog or the Multiply blog, the other one would also get that post!

Pardon the ignorance but I just found that so dang cool!!! :D

That would get me to post more often since I've been Multiplying on a daily basis now.

Multiplicity

Hey guys,

I'm not leaving this site, ever! But, I'm going to maintain a Multiply site as well for more photos, audio, and video... Bocceli Multiply Site

Hope I can see you in my Guestbook there.

After so long

... I finally found time to post something new here. I've been out for more than half a year but things seem to be the same for me. Except of course for someone in my life. Sure, it's great to have someone who seems to care for you but there are complications to it as well. I guess I just have to see how things work out.

Meanwhile, I hope all my friends all over the world get a chance to say hi. Missing all of them. They have touched my life and have contributed to everything I am now (collectively of course).

I hope be here more often. Yet again.

For those curious as to how I look like now... brace yourselves... the chubbier me. :)

Looking at the Afternoon Sun

From my office (er cubicle) window, I can see the afternoon sun shining down on the city of Makati. I feel the warmth of it despite the airconditioned space. People are minding their own business and thing are just casually taking place.

Work has been great so far, minus birth pains of course, but generally, yeah... it has been great.

Going through my big cubicle I see photos from when I was with my mom in Bangkok, that Starbucks on Soi Langsuan will forever be my favorite. It exudes so much coziness and warmth that one feels at home when seated on one of the suede upholstered sofas. I also see a picture I took of the detail work done to most Thai temples. I never thought there were actually glass chips embedded on the walls. Glass chips of different colors. Blues, reds, whites. The gold paint adds drama and elegance to the structure.

I look above and a sheet of green construction paper is filled with dedications from my staff here at work. The best of which reads "you're probably one of the best things that happened to me" (from one of my staff whom I have worked with for over three years).

Everything else is just clutter and some amount of effort to place decor on my table. A Thai elephant, a Danish mermaid souvenir, an Indian picture frame of a "crystal powder" drawing... heck, even the Jollibee figures from my recent birthday bash (my staff surprised me).

Life's been good so far. I do, however, remember what a friend told me about a philosophy him and his friend though of. That God is either JUST or GENEROUS. Makes you think right? I think He's being quite generous to me lately. I wonder how Just we will be soon.

Escape

es-cap-ism

–noun
the avoidance of reality by absorption of the mind in entertainment or in an imaginative situation, activity, etc.

It is odd to find oneself in a state where you just do not want to deal with reality. When friends become characters in a movie. When work becomes a haven for not thinking about what is real and happening. When everything else in your life, except being who you are, is no longer real.

Times like these, I end up thinking why am I where I am at now. What brought me here? Why do I have to be here? Questions that do not seem to get answered with how I am coping with things at the moment. It is these exact questions why I choose to just focus on other things instead of myself.

Watching episode after episode of Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, catching the latest feel good movie, or going out drinking pretty much all week. Activities that get me out of reality so I do not have to deal with it. It sounds pretty sad, or weird, but I find myself wondering if that is who I really am.

It just dawned on me that I am someone who would rather live a movie than be *sigh* me.
