"Being bisexual doubles your chance of a date on Saturday night." Woody Allen.

Most people use the term bisexuality as a sexual orientation in which an individuals feels sexual attraction towards both men and women, although not necesarily in the same degree. Read more...

*******************************************

I met this guy early this week and was instantly attracted to him. He's chubby ( I'm such a sucker for chubby guys ) and barely legal. He just turned 18 which means that I should not be hearing any of my friends' comments that I am subconsciously pedoephiliac or statutory offender.

Young as he is, I was quite surprised at his agressiveness - he made the first move and all I had to do is follow his lead. Good thing he did cause I'm really not the type who would initiate a conversation with a guy.

I don't have issues kissing on first dates, but he really did surprised me. I don't even know his name then, yet our tounges were all over the place (that's the most I could say here, hehehe). I find him pursue-able enough, even if I knew him for like, three hours? I might not get another chance when our tryst is over so I gave him when he asked for my number, not expecting that he would text or call - but he did.

After some SMS exchange, he asked me if he can come to my place. I said that it's not a good idea because my mother kinda despised gays.

To which he replied:

"Hu says im gay? Im a bisexual. If ur mother hates gays does dat means he also hates u?"

I wanted to answer to his retortable comment: "I say ur gay. 1 luk at u & ders no telling twice. Ur not bisexual, lyk wat u think u r."

I cleared it before even sending it. If I did, that will probably be the last time that I'll be hearing from him. I just made an excuse that I forgot that he is bisexual and I'm really sorry for insinuating that he's gay. It's funny how he overreacted.

But then again, he already caught my fancy. A prospect is still a prospect even if it means I had to shut up this time. I am plotting my moves and it won't hurt to take a step backward.

He is not really bisexual, as what he'd been saying. I know a bisexual when I see one and he's definitely not. He's actions are too effeminate and the way he talks - he's a certified twink-erella! He even claims that he has a girlfriend, but can't give straight answers to my questions about the girl.

That has got me thinking why can't some gays just admit or accept that they are what they are - as GAYS! And had to invent words like bisexual, discreet, curious, etc. that will sound better to their's or others' ears. I know for a fact that I am one. When asked if I am gay or not, I have no reservations giving a straight affirmative answer.

But it also doesn't mean that I run around flaunting my sexual orientation with a tag in front of my shirt that says "I'm happy and GAY!". I can do better than that. I know my boundaries and limitations. Depending on the company I'm with, I can either be discreet, reserved, flambouyant, loud or bitchy. Most of the times, I am reserved and cautious of my actions that some of my gay friends brand me as paminta (or pa-mhin - gay jargons for manly - acting gays). I can't blame them, I had the discreetest of the discreet gays mistook me for a straight guy.

I really am straight - straightly gay! Hahaha!

Finally!

It's official.

Harry Potter and the Half - blood Prince will be available 16th July 2005. Visited JK Rowling's official fan site myself this morning and now I can't seem to get over the fact that it is still 205 more days to go before I can get my hands on this little treasure!

To all those members of the clueless generation or still living in mountain caves who doesn't have a clue who Harry Potter and JK Rowling is: Well, let's just say that Harry Potter is the best young adult hero eversince the Wakefield twins and Madame Rowling is just the author of the first five Harry Potter adventure books.



Already in his sixth year at Hogwarts, Potter has survived numerous encounters with the most feared, powerful dark wizard Voldemort, the main antagonist in the anticipated seven installment series.

As the penultimate installment, Harry Potter and the Half - blood Prince promises to be as exciting if not better than the previously released five books.

Let the countdown begin!

Last Friday was our Christmas party with a theme of back to the 70s. In light of this, the whole group under the CFO were divided into four and will render a presentation - a dance or song number, play or skit and whatever - that is associated with the party's theme.

I was part of yellow team (the other three were green, blue and pink), and two weeks going to the big (?) day we discussed what we're gonna present coz time is running out and we hadn't even an iota of idea what we're gonna do.

I was hoping that the one who organized the presentation thing will chunk the idea and go along with the party without it, coz it appears that majority under the CFO group is not so excited about it. But turned out that the other three were already practicing their pieces, and the hepa (aka yellow) team hasn't got a farthing's worth of entertainment at hand.

To make matters worse, creative differences arised amongst us - between me and another member to be exact - with her almost walking out at the last minute. The thing is, she's not too excited about the script, which I wrote by the way, and always finding faults like its not really funny or the judges won't appreciate the punchlines and things like that. It really pissed me off I said that she's nothing but a self - humourless old maid. Oops!

She could back out for all I care, but the other members insisted that we proceed with what's already agreed upon and go with the presentation.

With three ( not even good enough) practices and rehearsals, we just found ourselves facing the inevitable. The dreaded day finally arrived. We have to perform even if it means the end of our professional career. No really. We're just gonna make a big fool of ourselves come 19:00 hrs Friday. And psyching ourselves that we can still report for work next year with our heads held up high. I wish!

Come our presentation time, ad libs abound left and right. Problems with our sound effects and costumes occured just at the perfect time. Our presentation is chaotic. Its a consolation though that the audience - and the judges - were laughing at the punchlines. Or is it just a patronizing effort so as not to embarrass us? I wouldn't know.

The judgement and verdict is not to be announced until the exchange gifts and parlor games were over. So us not to prolong our agony, I jokingly told me team mates that we're surely the 5th placer.

The time arrived. We're waiting excitedly though with utmost resignation that being able to get it over with and at least perform is not a bad thing altogether. And in the spirit of Christmas we're gonna be all sport about the results.

First to be called were the BLUE team as fourth placer followed with the PINK team as the third. How could that be? I am dead sure our performance ( or is it? ) sucked big time. The remaining two teams were called forward. Our team couldn't believe our luck. Second place is more than we can ask for.

The judge announcing the results is droning on about how the performances were quite close with the second and winner has a difference of less than a point average. Something like .73 or .83, I can't remember. He even requested for a drumroll for suspense, though there isn't any. He had to contend with human drumrolls, hehehe!

Judge : "And the winner is..."

Who could that be? Of course, its the YELLOW Team. Hahaha!

We really can't believe it, after that announcement we're like jumping up and down, as if fourteen month comes a little early. Or we're like winning the Oscars for best picture. Oh, that's an exaggeration!

( Will post the script I made when I got the chance, that's a promise! )

My life is probably in it's most boring stage right now.

Borrriiinnnggg.......

Seminarian boy just vanished into thin air. Then out of the blue, texted me asking for a date. I gladly accepted and off we went to a private, cozy place (with glass walls and ceiling, haha!) just the two of us! :P

T'was a fun night, had it not occured to me earlier that Miss World 2004 is being shown the same we were at that forbidden place. If I had to choose between a date with him and MW 2004, I wouldn't think twice. I had to contend myself that watching the delayed telecast in RPN9 as the next best thing.


**********

For the last three years, our representatives to the Miss World beauty pageant has been fairing rather well

Beauty of the Filipina at it's finest!

And I am damn proud to be a Filipino.

Mabuhay tayong lahat!

Offices had been called off today because of typhoon Yoyong. Read more...

My sister, who is working in Makati, and her officemates - were told to go home after lunch today. The same scenario in our company, when they issued an announcement that employees can go by three pm.

The only good thing about this is that I will be spending less time in the office, but as news started spreading around how this one super typhoon can wreak damage of such magnitude. The two passengers beside me earlier going to Robinson's Galleria has been talking about that Signal #4 had been raised in one of the Bicol provinces ( I can't remember which) and how the whole archipelago is covered by storm clouds based on the satellite photo of PAG-ASA.



Our company's announcement earlier also stated that there might be no operations tomorrow depending on the magnitude of Yoyong's damage tonight, when the typhoon is expected to hit Metro Manila.

I would have wanted to skip Friday's work so that I can look forward to a long weekend, without taking a leave. Today's event would have been perfect, but deep inside I'd rather be bored at the office tomorrow than the thought of resting comfortably at home while other people who will be affected (let's hope not) are going in dire straights because of Yoyong's damage.

I appeal to everyone to please, please pray that Yoyong's damages wouldn't be of such magtitude, and for lives would be spared especially our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Everyone, take care and God bless us.

Got this cool quiz from joacs , tried it and was pretty satisfied with the results so I'm posting it.

Take the quiz: "What does your birth month reveal about you?"
