Chinito Rules

I just came from a training with my boss this day. I'm so grateful that I get this opportunity to learn and improve in the field that I am in. Anyways, that is not the reason why I decided to write a blog entry now. During our session, one statement uttered by my boss caught my attention.

BOSS: Girls dress up not for men. Girls dress up for other women.

I actually got confused. Isn't it that girls dress up, put on colorful make-ups, wear eye-piercing stilettos because they want the attention of the boys? I think I have a shallow perception on women.

Boss explains further: "Try to observe your girl friends. How do they look at other women? What do they read? Do they notice the fashion of other girls?"

Then I paused for a while and think.

and think...

and think...

and think...

Oh c'mon! You do not expect a biological male to completely understand a female. I think women understand what my boss said. I need more enlightenment. Leave a comment about whatever you have to say about this topic. For whom do girls dress up?

For men?

For women?

For herself?

The black one actually has bunny ears. I just cut it off. Hehe :)

Sabi nila, pag inlab daw ang isang tao, palagi syang maganda/gwapo..palaging mabango. Parating may ngiti sa labi.

Pag inlab ka, pakiramdam mo lahat ng love songs ay sadyang sinulat para sa'yo.
Pero pag nasaktan ka, parang gusto mong sisihin sina Jolina Magdangal, Carol Banawa at Roselle Nava sa pagkanta nila ng Sana'y Kapiling Ka, Bakit Di Totohanin at Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita.
Kasalanan nga ba nila?

Pag tinititigan ka ng mahal mo, akala mo ay isa kang sorbetes na matutunaw na lang bigla.
Pagpapawisan ka at mako-conscious. Tapos sasabihin mong "wag mo nga akong tingnan ng ganyan." Aguy. Bien Babae. Pakipot.

Tutunog ang cellphone mo..Beep Beep 2x..(tunog sasakyan ah)
Bigla mo itong kukunin pero bago mo basahin ang message, mapapangiti ka muna.
Diba para ka lang tanga?

Kung hindi magtetext sayo, magtatampu-tampuhan ka.
Pero pag nagtext na, nakalimutan mo nang nagtatampo ka.
Landi agad. Maharot 'toh.

Pag sinabihan ka ng "Ang ganda/gwapo mo"..
Ang sagot mo ay "ows?talaga? Bola."
Pero sa loob-loob mo ay naabot mo na yata ang langit sa sobrang taas ng talon mo.

At dahil sa sobra mong kagalakan, nagawa mo na nga yata ang isulat sa papel ang pangalan niya at pangalan mo para gawin ang FLAMES, HOPE and CANDLE.
Tapos pag hindi sang-ayon sa gusto mo ang resulta, uulitin mo ito. Accepta ya lang.

Tapos habang kumakain ka ay bigla ka na lang mapapa-smile mag-isa.
Tatanungin ka ng magulang mo kung bakit ang sagot mo lagi ay wala.

Sabi nila, di na makakain, di pa makatulog.
Ganun nga siguro talaga yun.
Sa kakaisip mo sa kanya, malamang habang binabasa mo ito, siya rin ang naiisip mo.

At mapapaisip ka nga ngayon. Tapos sasabihin mong "Oo nga nuh?"
At mapapatawa ka.

Masaya ang ma-inlove --isa ito sa mga piiiiiiiiinakamasarap na pakiramdam na pwedeng maramdaman ng isang tao. Hindi puro sakit, hindi puro iyak.
Ika nga nila, Love makes the world go round.
Now who says Love hurts?
Mga BITTER lang.

“I’m not jealous. I can’t be jealous. I’ve never been jealous... Ngayon lang.”
-this John Lloyd quotable line completely says what I felt when Francheska introduced me to Harvey.

Francheska –oh she’s damn gorgeous. We’ve been together for like 5 years now. After countless of bittersweet memories, she is still as adorable as she was when we first met. Her hair is silky smooth, her eyes are the most beautiful stars and her lips are like mallows soft and tender. Each time I see her, I always want to say “Marry me.” But of course I know this is not yet the time.

One day @ lunch, she introduced me to her new found friend. He was a newbie in the office where she works. His name is Harvey. From that moment on, I became disoriented by the thoughts of him. Why the hell she had to bring him with her to join us for lunch?

We always make fool of each other (our way of lambingan). But this time, there was a little pinch in the heart.

“May similarities kayo. Mas cute nga lang si Harvey”, she said. Then she burst out in laughter as I tickle her. But that was just my way to conceal and not let her know that I was actually hurt.

“Mas cute nga lang si Harvey.” Grrrrr…. That statement kept on resounding as if I was having an LSS. Then I jumped off the bed and stood in front of the human-sized mirror. I stared at myself and asked my roommate. “Hindi naman ako pangit diba? Kung patangkarin at patabain lang ako ng konti at bihisan ng maganda, di hamak na mas gwapo ako dun.”

Then Lee replied, “yun nga lang hindi ka matangkad, hindi ka macho at hindi ka marunong magbihis ng maganda.”

THAT FACT (and the fuck!) PISSED ME OFF.

Okay. Okay. I admit. That new guy apparently looks better than me. And the worst part was that there wasn’t anything to hate about Harvey. He’s good. He’s decent. He’s a gentleman. Aah!

Francheska and I agreed to have some coffee @ StarBucks after work.

30 minutes past our meeting time. I started to get a little irritated. Then I saw her fixing her hair and running towards me. “I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I swear this won’t happen again.” She perfectly knows how I abhor late comers. I said it’s okay and that there’s nothing to worry about. I love her that much. But she kept saying “I’m sorry” over and over. The last thing I heard, however, was “Nagyaya kasi si Harvey magmerienda. I lost track of time.”

I gave her a smile. “You seem to be enjoying each other’s company. You sure have a lot of chemistry together.” I struggled to punch a joke.

She hit me in my arms and gave me a smile in return. Then I realized that the worst part was not that I don’t have any reason to hate Harvey. The worst part was that, because Francheska and I were still just friends, I couldn’t. :(

This <3 shaped pendant is for you.
