celebrating JR's Birthday!

Last night was one of the greatest adventures I had with two of the most important persons in my life. We celebrated the birthday of Jr and thought of doing something different on his day. We normally just eat out and spend the day singing at a karaoke house or see a movie. This time, we go south.

Our plan is to actually celebrate the night at San Antonio Grill at Bustillos. KC told us that the place has this stage where you can sing with a pianist on the side playing your song. However, things didn't go as planned but it lead us to a more exciting night. We thought of eating some place else other than the usual McDonalds or Jollibee. We thought of going somewhere we don't usually hang out and we thought of SM Mall of Asia.

As soon as we arrive at the mall, we immediately scout for a place to eat since it is already dinner and we are all starving. However, it took us, I guess almost an hour to find a restaurant and we chose ABBONDANZA. Pasta and Pizza are their specialty. This is actually not my first time to eat in this restaurant however, my first is at ABBONDANZA in Ortigas. After the dinner, we went straight to the back of the mall where most of the bar are situated. We stayed at Padis Point where some bands are playing good music (it just makes me wonder if all the female vocalist should wear short shorts).

I thought that all will end there, seeing JR a bit exhausted and sleepy, but I was wrong. KC suggested and we all agreed to spend the whole night at Starlite Bar in Cubao. The experience I had in this bar is really remarkable and I can say that it made our night. The bar is full of men of different orientation (Straight, Bisexual and Gay). This is something that's new to me. I've never been into a bar full of people having same interest and preference. Some are just there hanging out alone. I've seen guys that are cuddling and maybe snogging. Oh well, I really don't mind seeing them doing stuff like that. The bar has a stage where you can sing. Its like singing in a usual karaoke but your singing on stage where people are watching you. We never let our chance to pass and so picked up the song book, selected our song and sang our hearts out.

Just when I thought it's all over, the three of us decided to play dota at morayta. But before that we had our breakfast first at McDonald's. After spending 5 hours of playing the game, we have decided that we should end the day.

I never thought that this day will be adventurous and exciting. I really had fun spending the day with these two. I know this will be the start and I will make sure that the next night outs will be more exciting.

Toast to more gimik and night out!!

New Team: Private Joice

Nothing is constant in this world but Change. Yes, it happens a lot and sometimes it happens abruptly. Just recently our team got dispersed. Len, Tony and I went to team Joice and the others to KC Fabian. Not only did we move on a new team but we are now under a new cluster. Team Joice is under OM Melai and KC is under OM Stu. I have nothing against TL Joice or with the new cluster that I’m in right now but I was actually under the impression that the team will not be dispersed as promised by my previous team leader. But whatever the reason is, as agents, we know we can do nothing but to comply with what was mandated by the management.

As I have said, I don’t have anything against TL Joice. In fact she is doing a great job in her role. She’s also close to her agents not to mention the fact that her agents love her as well. She is a very soft spoken person and understanding but not lenient. I am still yet to know her but with all the rumors I am hearing, I guess I will be having a great time with her.

The team on the other hand is very friendly. Most if not all of them are stats conscious. All of them have a positive attitude towards work and all has this overflowing motivation. They are kind and very accommodating in their own way. In spite of this, I am still having a hard time jiving with them. I still wanted to be with my previous teammates. I feel very alone without them. They are like my security blankets. I feel at ease when they are around. I’m not closing my doors with new people in fact I see this as an opportunity to expand my network of friends. I just feel like I will be having a hard time getting in to their circle of friends.

So far I am enjoying my stay with the team and hopefully, I can stay longer.

Self Check

TANITA BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER

BODY TYPE: Standard
GENDER: Male
AGE: 24
HEIGHT: 5ft 4.5in
WEIGHT: 147.2 lbs
BMI: 25.0

FAT MASS: 37.6 lbs
FAT TO LOSE: 18.2 lbs

These are some of the information that I noted form the results I got from the TANITA BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER (weighing scale) from Fitness First. I was amazed with what I saw. I am currently weighing 142lbs and thats from 150lbs. If I recall it right, when I started at Fitness First, I was weighing 154lbs. To be honest I was not expecting this. I was under the impression that I don't have any improvement since I started doing work out. I was not able to build up the discipline of cutting my food food consumption. I still eat a lot. However,my friends often tell me that I am getting slimmer which I thought was all joke. So seeing this paper and the result was such a surprise. Anyway, I am looking forward to a slimmer me.

Life without sex

After a day of hanging out with KC and JR, we finally decided to part our ways and go home. We were at the back of the bus when KC suddenly opened the topic regarding sex. I know this is not the proper venue for us to talk about it but it was KC who made most of the talk and JR and I just listened so I none of us will mind.

We got to a point where KC told me that I need to have some sex once in a while. He said maybe it is the reason why I get easily stressed out and lose patience as if I am an old maiden. Well I did not take it as something offensive but I took it as an idea or suggestion from someone who is enjoying his life with an active sex life.

I asked most of my friends regarding this theory so as to justify KC’s idea. Most of them agreed that indeed, sex can relax your troubled mind and some how takes you off the feeling of anxiety. It adds spice to your life. They may enumerate a hundred and one benefits of having sex but I am not sure if I will understand most since I lack the experience. Yes, I lack experience, so naïve of me.

All I can say is that it not in sex that I will find happiness or escape from this exhausting world. Maybe sex can give them the ecstasy to lift them when their down, but I have my ways to shrug off the unwanted feelings that’s consuming me. Actually, I was under the impression that sex should be done when both are madly in love and it is their way of expressing the overflowing feeling they have for each other. Having this in mind, I will not do this act until I find the person to share the other side of my bed.

Post Birthday Celebration

My birthday celebration continues as my family and I went to do the ultimate taste test on the food at Mann Hann restaurant located at the trinoma mall. We ordered pata tim, fish and tofu, roasted chicken, shanghai rolls, mixed vegetables and yang chow rice. We also tried their leche flan and cheese cake. Also with us is my best friend JR, who took his time out and celebrate with us. KC should’ve been here as well but was not able to come because of his tight schedule. As the food flood on our table, everybody became silent as we savor each and every dish that is right in front of us. I really had a great time spending this day with them.

Few days after this, I also celebrated my birthday with my closest friends at Convergys. Right after our shift we went straight to Café Agogo at Ortigas. We had our breakfast and then take a few sip of lemon slush.

Simple yet fun filled day spent with them. These people actually have this ability to change simple day to an extraordinary and amazing day filled with good memories. I just love to be with them always!

When is my turn?

It was one steaming hot afternoon; I was heading home when I suddenly saw two guys at the mall. I thought they are just ordinary friends but my eyes gleamed by what I saw. I noticed that they were holding hands. I suddenly smile when I saw them. They seemed to be proud of what they were doing. I wonder where they were heading. Maybe they are about to go to some place where they could talk or probably eat. Maybe they’ll have a date or whatsoever. But one thing I know for sure, they are together.

I feel very ecstatic and happy whenever I saw two men together having special feelings for each other. I know some friends that are happily together and I often ask them how it started. Well, every one of them tells me their story and to be honest, I really adored each one of them. Also, it was amazing that those stories that you often see on the movie really happens.

As for me, I am still single and I am happy. But I don’t want to be hypocrite. I really wanted to experience the feeling of being in a relationship. How I often wanted to have someone who will restrict me from going out or doing something. I wanted to be with someone who will go out with me and have a dinner or maybe watch a feel good movie. I wanted to have someone who’ll talk to me on the phone for hours, even if I’m just talking about non-sense things. I always wanted to assume that somebody is waiting for me in front of my office building because he will walk me home. How I dreamed of a guy who will comfort me when I’m down and laugh with me when something is funny. I just hate the truth that the delusion of finding that person is really hard.

I have been on my own for 24 years already. I know how it feels to be alone and the worst part is that as time goes by, the feeling is getting worst. I always tell my self, good things come to those who wait. But how long should I wait. I’ve read some stories regarding the reasons for being single. Maybe it is indeed my fault that I am still single because I don’t go out often, I don’t socialize but I don’t know where to start. I mean should I change myself just to be loved? Am I that bad?

I guess I would have to leave it all to destiny (if there is such). So foolish of me, yes. Maybe I’m just confused or maybe I’m better off alone. Or maybe I just have to wait a little more. Well as for now, I am happy to see that people of my gender already had their chance.

As I close the door of my room, lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling, I wonder.. when is my turn?

A Glimpse of my 23rd year

Today is my birthday. I just turned 24. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and thought of things I have been though, things that made a significant mark in my book.

Last year was a year of adventure for me. I have been to different place I thought I can only see in pictures. I went up the mountains and feel the cool breeze of Baguio, fought the waves and swim in the depths of sea at Puerto Galera, then flew all the way south and felt the fine powder-like sand of Bohol.

I also made a lot of friends last year. I can literally count them in my hands but I know they are true. We’ve been thru a lot (I mean a lot) already and I know I can count on them thru thick and thin. This is one thing I can definitely thanks CVG for, because working with the company allows me to meet this people.

I was once an achiever. I always wanted to be on top. Every time I step in the glass doors of the office, I made sure that I will put on my signature on my works. I wanted to be remembered. I wanted to be recognized. Awards and certificate means a lot to me as they boost my confidence and morale. But all of this ended surprisingly bad but the experience itself taught me to be strong. I can say that that experience is one of the best and so far the greatest experience I can ever think of whenever I think of my days when I was still 23. I owe this all to you SIR!

My birthday wish?
All I can think of as of now is that I wanted to become a better person. I know I’m not perfect and I’m not the only one. In fact, everybody is. Well, I know I have been very bad and unreasonable but this coming year, I promise to make it up. I will try to improve myself and try to become if not best then at least better person.


I am looking forward to new experiences this year and I know that my best years are still yet to come.
