My Funny Valentines

Belated happy hearts day world! hope every body else enjoyed their day.. i sure did.. and yep, i didn't have a date. who says you need one to be happy?

ako single, pero hindi sad.. etong babae na to, may bf, pero bitter... see blog

well... i spent valentines with these guys... would u say we were sad?

and anyway, i was with RC

or was it Ren ren?

or was it Jian?

so don't go telling me i didn't have a date.. coz i have all the boys!

well anyway, now that vday is over and done with, i smile at the recollection of some past vday experiences....

CASE 1: The Bitter Fiasco. After being "single" again. i go to the UP fair with 2 other bitter people, Laarni and Sarah. we sat there sulking and playing a stupid game of "Questions".. asking questions like how, who, what, when, where.. then going sentimental.. thus submerging ourselves deeper into the pit of loneliness... stoof!

CASE 2: Lovapalooza. on valentines day i was at the up fair (it's an annual thing..) with my then-love interest. but on the eve of valentines, Sarah and i accompanied happy couple Jill and Reg to the Lovapalooza 1. Believe me, it doesnt seem as romantic when ur suffocated in a sea of people.. good thing no stampede occured. btw, i was registered to kiss some random frat brod who was also there.. ahem.. we didn't kiss ok!

CASE 3: "Can I hold your hand?" Valentines. because i didn't want to spend the evening ranting the night away, i finally went out with this guy who's forever asking me out. regular date, dinner, movies.. tab's on him. but please... there's no chemistry between us! he's a nice guy all right.. but then c'mon.. he's got the lamest tag lines on earth!

After all that sort of misadventures, i finally gave up and went with the flow.. and finally... in years, had the time of my life on valentines day. and puh-leez... i didn't feel pathetic because:

"i find it hard to believe that you're dateless, i mean being as hot as you are.." -sent through SMS by someone special (no, you probably don't know him.. and yes he was alone that night too)

although i wouldn't deny.. the night could've been so much better..... if only Brownman Revival played! but no! they didn't... i waited til after 2 am! on a school night.. broke my curfew and all that... and they didn't show up! ... well.. no use sulking.. i could always see them in xaymaca. and i dont have to contend with the (sorry for my term) "jologs" crowd of the UP fair..

to sum up my valentine affair, i would like to quote carlo. "valentines is a marketing scheme", and i couldn't agree more, it is an excuse to spend a little on the concept of love. Here's my warning though, when i fall and i mean hard, i will make everyday a valentines day... unlucky for him, he hasn't found me yet. Keep searching prince charming, one day your dreams will come true!

MARRIAGE

What about marriage? Earlier today Hazel Jover, producer of the show Wedding Talks visited my class to speak about entrepreneurship. Now I’ve always wanted a beach wedding, now I really, really fell in love with the concept! As in! She showed us a video of one of her weddings which was held in Panglao Island Bohol….. hmmm… so should I go for that Ateneo Law student I’m crushing on? Clue: he’s the son of the congressman of Bohol. I doubt if he’s reading this anyway. He’s my newest crush! Deym! It's a hard hit!

Realizations
Recently, I was in a very resonant conversation with Carlo regarding evaluation of relationship patterns. Then I tried to evaluate myself. What I discovered wasn’t so surprising.

My ideal guy:

1. Someone I can take home to daddy anytime… (meaning: I don’t have to groom him for the “meet the parents”)
2. I have a special inclination to lawyers, or would-be lawyers (Ateneo/San Beda law, legal management.. name it, I got it!) Once they speak all those legal jargons.. I'm hooked!
3. A gentleman. Segway: once this certain law student offered to carry something for me.. i told him i could handle it myself. His response: "i know you can, i'm not doing it because you can't. i'm doing it because i'm a gentleman" kaboom! i'm in love!
4. Someone loyal... no sharing please!

Who I actually fall for?

1. same as above: looks smart, looks good, smells good, dresses well
2. same as above: lawyers, would be lawyers.
3. A gentleman.... in public. Turn out the lights and it's a different story.
4. The naughtiest playboy. it's like these men know that they are really appealing and so they turn into this casanova to every single woman (and pole wearing a skirt for that matter)... but nevertheless, i still fall into their venomous trap!

so where does that leave me? always dreamily on guard... i crush, infatuate, then tell myself... hell, i'm sure i'm not the only one. then find another would-be lawyer guy who can make my heart skip a beat like an instantaneous combustion.. all right.. dating pattern detected, case dismissed!
