ME

It’s been quite a while since I talked to someone about how I felt.I guess no one really understands me and how I like to do things. But non the less, I am still here working through the sadness and joy of being single, adjusting to the tides. I can never ask people to like me nor meet their every expectation. I no longer bother with the idea of a guy needing to have a partner nor a guy needing to have a companion. I feel that I am better off single.
Yes crushes does happen, and I am no gay…. But I prefer to be single for the time being. I admit that sometimes I feel sad about it, but the feeling of not going into a relationship is greater than how much I woud like to have someone beside me.
It’s great to have someone to talk to, talk about a lot of things. Someone with a lot of sense when they talk. But that might come sometime in my life but not now. Right now I am with a contentment of being single.
You may ask how do I go through my day by day activities with out feeling lonely and sad, and not taking pity on myself for not being paired with someone. Well I usually work, use my past time with lots of work, activities and time consuming things. Some of which are basketball, watching, playing psp or console games, going to the gym, these and beside the usual eating and 24 hour sleep I try to get on weekends to cut time.
But you know it was not always like this, a few months after I broke up with my 10 year GF. I tried meeting or asking girls out. I am not a guy that picks any girl out. I choose girls that I really like, And when it comes to choosing- I am considered the choosiest or the Picky one. I had two crushes back in grade school another in High that came to be my GF. I had a couple of girls that I liked but never worked out. I admit that it made a mark in me and made me turn away from courting nor going out anymore. As I have said before I will never cry over spilled milk but make most of what I have now. I know that I can’t ask them to like me and respect them for their decisions, thankful as well that they were true to me. But it doesn’t change the fact that they turned me down, what is it in me that drives people away? I am not a bad guy, don’t do drugs , don’t drink nor smoke, I have stopped joining activities that guys like to do ( Bar Hopping etc ). Again I am no saint I did a few in my younger days but that opened my eyes to a lot of things and understand how things go. Knowing what these are made me understand how to stay away.
What is it that they don’t like in me? I just don’t get it.
This is just a question in my mind that may or may not show in my ways but take my word on this, I am not drooling over this and crying over it.Nor am I mad at anyone I have a clear understanding about life and peoples emotions, ways and decisions and respect each one.
But for now I am happy being single and will enjoy my life to the best I can. I am considered a Soloist and I am happy being one. No girl will understand how adventurous my life is because they will and might not be able to cope with me. I am a thrill seeker but I make sure no one gets hurt in the process. As God as my guide and his words as the rule I will live this life to the extreme and let him find me a mate if he planned me to have one.
Rock on….

Single Guy… Talk

I had a rough week and had lots of things done. And I was suppose to talk about High Maintenance Girls,But I think that this topic can never be described and only put in words. Cause this Topic is something that people continuously debate on causes what we are talking about is something that changes and constantly does. We can never pin point who or what are the ways we can determine if a girls is High Maintenance or Not. Cause if we put it in words things change and those that we write down can easily shift to something else. So I will leave this topic be, and let people discuss them amongst them selves.And feel that I am not the best person to talk about this.
A new thing I would like to talk about is Courting – And I am not just talking about guys liking girls, it’s also girls liking guys, guys liking guys and girls to girls. Kinda odd but is true.
Back when I can remember in my elementary years. When I do have a crush on a girl I always make sure that all occasions are marked, Birthdays, Valentines, X-mas,ETC. I give her gifts as a token of my admiration. I court them with gifts and utmost respect. Back then girls are very simple, they appreciate every little thing you give to them from candies to flowers to things that signify that you care or love them. I am a bit picky with who I fall for and I don’t easily fall for anyone. But when I do it takes me years to get over someone. The first girl I had a crush on last for 3 years next went up to 6 years from elementary crossing over high school before the last girl that I had a crush on became my girlfriend for 10 years. So a total of three girls that really meant something for me. I still care and respect all of them although they now live their own lives and have their own family now.
Right now I do have a crush on someone that Isn’t going well and not going the way I thought things would do. But I respect her for her reasons and do not want to bother her about how I feel for her. She asked me not to divulge any info about it so not to make a fuss about it,and so I did. I don’t want to make a big thing about it cause this was something special for me and don’t want to ruin it. I no longer try to get close with her nor communicate so that the feeling could be sufficed in time. I respect her to the utmost. Maybe one thing that I really offer ones that I care for or fall for is my Respect. Even if it’s a one sided thing I still want them to feel the same willingly not because I pressured them. Love is not rushed and we should be patient and wait, but never expect.
Girls that I fall for are not the best looking ones, And never did I go for looks first. I like girls that are very simple. Not too attracting attention nor are aggressive ones, these are total turn offs for me. I want a girl that I can talk to with sense, have some sense of humor and is someone that is not complicated to be with, like enjoying the simple but most priceless things in this world. I am a sentimental guy and I go for the old way of courting. Bring gifts, visiting the girl in their house and meeting the parents to show respect. And treating her to nice things but would never miss going to church.
But nowadays there have been changes and short cuts to these practices. Some of my friends had past girlfriends and boyfriends that they just met and a day and went on to be couples but these relationships have a high rate of being unstable and has a high tendency of separation. I asked them how they do it, They tell me that they meet with a girl and treat her and sweet talk them, send SMS messages until the wee hours and as soon as you know it, they are now a couple.
Pretty quick… no such thing as meeting the parents nor getting to know each other better stage, just go with it. I’ve also got friends that court the same sex. Gay friends court guys some for fun times some for serious relationships. I admit I’ve been asked but never did I give in. I respect what ever your gender is but I do not want to go into something that contradicts with my views. I am no saint but men are made for women that’s it.
But I am not against them having relationships with the same sex. As long as they are happy I think it’s OK. Just don’t come to me. This is no different with the girls. I guess with this one girl takes on the role of a guy figure someone that can provide the companionship a guy can’t. Sometimes this is OK,cause I’ve seen couples that brings out the best in each other. With a Girl to Girl relationship it mainly starts with friendship then goes on to companionship until they become partners. Giving gifts are essential to these relationship as they give a joy and a deeper meaning to what they have. As with each gift there are meaningful things to remember.
What ever your point in having relationships and how you court them do what makes you happy. But always remember to look after your self so not to get hurt in the process.
I my self is not sure when I will court a girl again. I feel that I am not ready and is now happy with being single. I have nothing to worry but my self. And I know that God plans great things for each one of us and I leave it up to him.

Single Guy… No more Love

Slowly as the days pass by one at a time, I slowly learn how to get along living alone. Never longing for anyone nor needing company at all times. But rather better off Single and enjoying what I can do in this life. My friends laugh at me whenever I tell them stories of my odd adventures, going to places that I have never been and doing things that I can only dream of doing. And I do them alone,all by my self. Sometimes it’s strange but I find this better than being with someone or with friends and trying to pamper them with attention. You need to be attentive cause they might not enjoy the moment with you.
There came a time in my life that I seemed to be so faithfull and caring that I do things for other people, friends and loved ones that made me look like a Dog, obedient to his master.Which I am sick and tired of doing. I have tried to be nice, too nice just to fit in and be treated the same way as I did to them. But somehow I don’t get the satisfaction out of it,and then one morning I just woke up and found my self tired of fulfilling their every needs and not having mine attended.
I hoped, and had been so patient that things might change to my advantage. Yet up until now there’s no avail. I will never again succom to these feelings again. I will never again give too much attention to anyone. If they want my attention I’ll think about it first and maybe I can give some.
I live my life to how I want it, care for no one but for my self. Give pampering to me and no one else. I have been taken for granted and been taken as someone dispensable. No more of that.
Whether you like me or not it doesn’t matter to me anymore. No longer do I care for what you think of me. Either be it bad or good I just don’t care.
Love? Ha…. I feel the same way
I no longer feel that I need a companion in life. I feel that I do not want to court anyone nor meet up with girls. I had a couple of bad experiences and you may say that those are not enough to make me feel this way. But who are you to tell me how I should live my life and run it. I came up to them with the purest of intention and want nothing more than to be close and know them better. But it didn’t work out the way I thought it would. One of them told me that friendship should not be mixed with Loving, the other had a more absurd reason. But then again I had no right to judge them to what they wanted. Right there and then I saw my self and took pitty on how much I tried to be nice but seemed to be taken for granted. They don’t even know me yet, how will they know me if they don’t even give me a chance to tell them.
All my life I thought that being nice to people would earn me good things. And earn me friends and companion. Now I know that being nice in this world is not the way to go. Cause if you are too nice people are just going to take advantage of you and see you as another opportnity of soaring greater heights, propelling them even more that other can look up to them and see them as a better person.
Right now If a girl likes me I don’t care anymore. I no longer want to pamper them with goodness. I now want the world to be nice to me not the other way around.
I respect and believe in God, I trust him. Although I have a different point of view in life now. I will not do anything that I don’t want others to do on to me. I still carry my virtue but I just have a different view of how to do things now.

Single Guy -Loving

Another week just passed, A week filled with laughter and not so happy moments.
But let’s talk about a Love…
How will you be able to say that you really love the person, and them loving you back? How will you know if he/she is the one and you won’t regret the one that got away?
And if loving a person is letting them go what would be the assurance that they’ll come back to you?
I would like to add something to this Blog of mine, This is from Clark TJ a friend of mine back when I used to work for my previous call center company. He wrote a great piece on this topic called Love, it goes like this …
” It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. Maybe God wants us to meet few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship, and find that you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, and only find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but most of the time we tend to look so long at the closed doors, that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the one you can sit with on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then just walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it. But it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is not an assurance that they’ll love you back! Don’t expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts, but if it doesn’t, that’s alright. When breakup comes and it’s time to say goodbye, don’t doubt the love because it didn’t last. May mga bagay sa buhay na hindi man nagtatagal, it doesn’t mean di na ito totoo. Some good things are just never meant to last forever. There are things you’d love to hear that you would never hear it from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don’t be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from the heart. Never say goodbye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel you can go on, never say you don’t love the person anymore if you can’t let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they’ve been disappointed. To those who still believe, although they’ve been betrayed, to those who still tried to love although they’ve been hurt before and to those who have the courage and faith to build trust again. It takes only a minute to get a crush with someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks they can deceive, don’t go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you SMILE in EVERY SINGLE day of your life, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright! “
He had made a good point on how Love works. How will you really find him/her and make sure he/she is the one. And if you do find the one would you tell them immediately or hesitate if there are complications to a revelation? Is is bad to fall in love? Or be honest to what you feel for them?
True that God planned everything for us from the time we came into this earth, till the day we die. He had set all the things we are meant to face. Sturggles that make us stronger and people to keep us company that one of them was really meant for us. But God also gave us one thing… the power to decide to what we wanted. That clouded our ability to recognize what was our meaning for being born and who we were meant for.
I know that we can never tell who we really are meant to have and share our life with. True also that we keep looking for the right one, and sometimes during the search we overlook those that really care and Love us. and rather look for a ideal person that does not feel the same way for us. This is very confusing and complicated but then again with every day that pass and the number of people we grew up and knew, we still can never tell whom we are fated to be with. All we can do is try and be prepared to feel pain when we are wrong but when we do find someone, Not Mr or Ms Perfect or Right. Not the best looking but is the pair that compliments for who you really are and not to what you could be. As long as you feel Happy mind and heart….
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but most of the time we tend to look so long at the closed doors, that we don’t see the one, which had been opened for us.

Single Guy - Still


Another week just passed , It was a very hard week but I am very thankful to have the whole team’s support. It was hard before and I know it’s just going to get worse in the coming days. But I believe in this Team. I will only step out of this team with two reasons, One … if I feel that I have given them everything they would need and they no longer need my services, and the other one is… if I feel that I really have to move on either it be career advancement or other opportunities outside of the company. But Never the less, I am very happy with this team.
In a Team there will come a time of people clashing due to personality differences , but I need to work on that and as a team we need to work around that if not through it. Sometimes it’s hard to adapt to everyone but I should always have a clear mind to understand them and I never , ever take sides. I try to see the situation on a third party, to be able to make a possible solution to it in the best interest of everyone and for the team most especially.
With the role I am in right now as a Team Leader this had opened my eyes to a much more broader prospective of people, personalities, ideas , and in Life as a whole. I have seen a lot of things and heard stuff that would envy anyone. But I am not about to talk , I know how to keep my mouth shut and not to divulge anything that I may know off. I would say I am very observant of the people around me, I do not mix personal with my profession. And never do I take long time grudges with ones I quarrel with. I am but human and sometimes snap when I am pressured and I also get mad. But easily forgive and forget.
But with these things that I constantly learn a lot of in life through other people. Like what I mentioned with my last blog, I love to listen and talk that not only brings up the possibility of knowing the person but also by learning what knowledge they may hold, Lessons they have learned and points that could be adaptable to how I live my life. Right now I enjoy every moment, and I always try to live life with a smile.
Live my life happily as I could and be content with what I have and work for what I need less of what I want. I would be classified as a semi-practical person. I do go out once in a while but I do not want to be habitual, that is my way of rewarding my self of simple things and giving my self a gift of relaxation and other things. Like going for some coffee in Tagaytay while I enjoy the view of the Volcano, I enjoy the gift that god has given and that is nature that relaxes me. Eating is one of my guilty pleasures, Love eating. But I also go to the gym to stay fit enough and not overweight. Don’t buy clothes that much just buy what I need. For the house I spend and budget tightly to cover all expenses and have some savings also.
But the one thing I really love to do and often times makes me relax easily is to listen to music…. I love listening to music, when I’m at work, eating, playing basketball even when I go to sleep I would go crazy without music. It’s a way to relax me and express my inner feelings and relieve my stressed mind. I love acoustic music, RNB, songs that have great lyrics and melody to soothe the mind. Don’t you agree?
Love life… Still single… Single by Choice is more like it. I prefer this cause you can do almost anything but I never fool around when it comes to love. I know I am not the best looking guy, But I really do not have that feeling of courting anyone right now. I do have a person I adore but it didn’t go too well when I tried to open up with her. Right there I realized that I am not ready, and is not that appealing to the opposite sex. Back when I got her response about not feeling the same way I did for her I felt really down and started to think if there’s something about me that is not like able. I asked a lot of people about their opinions about me. Some would say I am just too much of a” Good Boy ” that seems to be too good to be true. Which I thought of for quite some time and realized that with my past relationship I always tried to fulfill anything that my X would want me to do. I lost my personality in that manner, my views in life was clouded by her decisions and my ways was turned into something I needed to change. Maybe that’s why I am like this.
But ofcourse I learned to overcome that point when I got turned down by this girl I have a crush on right now. I admit I like her but I have no more plans of courting anytime soon. I am not in the process of going into a relationship also, but I am not closing the door, it’s just that I will welcome them but they could not get the reaction that they might be expecting.
I rarely fall for anyone, but when I do fall for someone, that someone has something very special that I see in them that I really adore. I don’t go for looks. But it would help if a girl looks neat and presentable. When I fall for someone it is true love and I never go for flings. To sight examples I had a 3 year crush on a elementary schoolmate , after was a 6 year crush on a high school girl and last was a 10 year relationship with my first and only girlfriend. I would say that I am an old school type of guy when it comes to loving, you can just imagine how serious I am when I fall in love. And when I love you, I am willing to give you the world just to prove it. I am prepared to share the happiness of my life with my love one…
I am happy right now like I said I’m not in a rush for anything. I am not in a race with time. Take things easy, one day at a time, take things as they come along and never expect but rather be contented with what I may have.
God would only know who, when and how I will end up in this life. He had given me the time to enjoy the gifts he provided and I plan to spend this life that he gave with him in me, with my life full of happiness and wonderful things. That I share with all my friends, colleagues and loved ones.
Enjoy life with the best of intentions and with a content heart and mind.

Single Guy with theTeam


Another week has passed and another begins, Last week was hectic and full of odd happenings.But work was fine busy as ever, but i had a great time with my team ( although everyone didn’t come ). We ate Bulalo ( Beef Soup ) at Tagaytay. And it was also a way of saying farewell to an agent of mine for her last day with the team. It was all good, It was a Saturday event after work. We had our bellies full of the food that we ordered and ate. We had two big bowls of the Beef Soup, Kaldereta,Letchon Paksiw and Mango salad. It was awesome and very good to have your team for once eat together and talk share ideas and laugh.After eating we headed out to a nearby coffee shop and i treated them to anything they liked to have after a heavy meal. And also to have a bit more time to talk. Although it was short lived it was so memorable and it gave me an idea of everyone on the team and know how they are doing.We talked about many things also in and out of work . I wanted them to relax for a while and get out of the office for once.
I thank all that came, Lelay , Sheena, Janeth,Jane, Julius who rarely joins on these kinds of events and Racel who bid us farewell. I wish Racel good luck on her future endeavors. And Kuya Cris that dropped us off at Tagaytay.
Although a Racel is leaving I had the opportunity to hire two more new agents to fill the spots that I need to handle the workload. I just hope that all turns well with these two new additions.
My team is mainly composed of girls which I treat like my sisters and the guys as my brothers. I respect and try to understand their ideas. I want to take care of them and that they give the respect back not only to me but to everyone on the team and have a good working relationship . I would be nothing without them and things will definitely fall out of place with them not happy with what they do. I also found out many things about my self in the process, that i can only do so much but not everything. I trust these guys with every bit of my self. I will do everything i can to get this team going.
Other Team Leaders would tell me to take advantage of what I have and use my post to get girls. But I do not feel that way I am more concerned of what their performance would be rather than how they treat me,as long as they know I can trust them to perform their duties and respect me I will have no problems with them. And besides i never tried to take advantage of my post just to get laid.
I am happy with work but there are pressures in life that sometimes affects us but these things are just obstacles that we need to go through to make us stronger.
I love to talk and listen to people and that’s how I get through my team. And maybe that would be the most important thing I will look for in a girl in the future. The ability to put up a good conversation and is willing to listen.
Now I am still searching for peace of mind and a new way to give me the excitement and looking forward for the next adventure. Still thinking about having a tatoo, many disagree but it’s something worth to try as a mark of change. Being a changed man… being changed in a lot of ways. Mainly for the good.
I was thinking of going to Vigan but someone in the Family died and needed financial help so I opted to give to the grief rather than to enjoy. Besides Family comes first. Vigan can wait.
Right now there is someone I admire but I feel that we are really not meant. I am just happy to see her each day that goes. Seems like she is the first I have in my mind but I can never fall. We are totally different in a lot of ways.
But again who knows what the future would bring, for someone to inspire me to do better is good, Having a crush is not bad.
My life is still incomplete but I can say that I am happy. Content on whatever comes my way and never rush things. And always thank God for everything.

Single Guy - Thrill seeker


I just broke up with my Girlfriend, which i have been with for the past 10 years. We had a mutual understanding of each others feelings and agreed that we no longer love each other. We care for each other but not the same feeling we had when we were in-love and are now friends and both live separate lives now.Her with a new BF and me single tied to the wonders of life.
I now work as s supervisor for a foreign company near where I live, and have been with them for almost two years now.But before this I worked with other companies to make ends meet. I worked for Euro-med, SCA-Johnson’s, Meralco and also tried my luck in a call center which ended up to be the best field for me.
My life was always about doing things others expect me to do, doing chores and the right moves.
I was almost like a dog that follows what life has in-stored for me. But I wanted to change this monotonous way of living. That’s why I tried many things that I never used to do nor try.
I started going to the gym that I never did in my whole life,gone on trips without knowing where I will end up, eating an array of strange foods and mingling with different people.
This seems to be a normal routine for others me the trill of doing something unexpected is like a drug, that is very addicting.
Although you may say I live a dangerous life, I don’t see it that way. Cause as long as I know God watches over me and I never hurt anyone in my quest for this trill, I know I am doing the right thingAs long as it is humane I will continue and enjoy what makes me happy.
The sad part is that I am a bit worried that I may not meet a girl that fits me and understand why i do these unexpected thing. I am too active right now to sit and talk so i prefer someone that can run along side me.
But I am not rushing going into a relationship, i just enjoy what the next page of my life would be and what will be the next thing that will give me that excitement in life.
Right now I am aiming for tattoo’s and mountain climbing, things I never did when i was young.
Live your life how you want it, and not live it like a scripted one.
