The S Word

I felt the need to post an entry that would feature my shirt. Vain, right?  That’s me and my BFF, Ariane.

Who cares if you’re single?

1. Your dad. He wants you to get a life and perhaps some grand kids in the near future.

2. Your nosy relatives. They want to take the opportunity to question your sense of taste.

3. Your no-longer single friends. They think you’re a loser. It’s time to get hitched.

4. Your college professor. He was matching you with one of your batchmates. He thinks you too look good together. Is this senior prom all over again?

5. Your officemates. They think that you’re cursed. They’re all single and miserable while you are living in your own little single world. Ain’t life grand?

6. Your high school friends. They want you to get laid and end up knocked up just like them way back your formative years.

What’s good about being single?

1. You’re free. No one bosses you around on what to and what not to do except for your parents or other related kin.

2. Monthsary? Anniversary?  or even Daysary?. Their just dates you ought to celebrate.

3. Financial freedom. Refer to items number 1 and 2

4. Love hurts and all the suicidal shit. Quite a number of suicide attempts are due to heartaches. Alarming really.

5. Quality time with oneself, friends and family.

(I know I’m superficial)

Why you should get hitched?

1. Holding hands while walking. Romantic stuff. I guess everyone needs to experience the feeling of unbelievable mushiness–the ultimate release of gooey endorphines, norepinephrin, dopamine etc.

2. Multiplication . As if the earth is not populated enough. I guess to prolong the existence of relatively rare genes.

3. Companionship. Soulmates? F buddies? Whatever you call it nowadays. Bottomline. WE don’t want to die alone. And we don’t want to die ignorant either (if you know what I mean).
 

4. Quit being the THIRD WHEEL a.k.a Le Chaperone - lame as  it may sound but yep it only takes two to tango. Unless, they’re  a team player. teehee.

5. So who am I gonna watch ENDLESS sappy romantic movies with? Sole purpose of watching tearjerking, heart warming, mushy movies. Watching it with your special someone is better than with your parents who sleeps in the uberly eeky parts or at times right after the title rolled in.

Wondering why you’re still single?

1. Maybe you should change your deo?

Au Naturale may not always be pleasing to one’s olfactory nerve. Try switching brands. Yep, looks does matter. insert evil laugh

2. Commitment-phobia. Big word. WE can’t stand  the thought of being in a serious relationship.

3. No choice is a choice.

Single-blessedness? Virtue of Celebacy? Think about this, most of the hot men remaining are either gay, priests or gay priests.

Kidding. I guess being single is just a matter of choice.

WE can always change our minds just in case. wink

Stop! Thief

I stole it. I admit it. I stole the picture. I’m embarrassed. Was I out of my mind? Obviously. Will anyone notice? I don’t know.  Teehee.

It’s mine now. I don’t care. But it’s really embarrassing * Girlish grin *

Yuck. I think it’s pathetic. This silly crush must end. I need to focus!

I think he’ll drop by tomorrow.. Dammit!

This has got to end now.

Space Between: The Continental Drift Theory

Nope, this is not a lesson on Geography and shit. 

Because, the internet is fckd up and we can’t chat properly….This post is dedicated to D–the one who always "end up being alone". D—-always the guest never the VIP.   I feel for you, eRr. I think its time that I return the favor.  NO MAN is an island, daw.

You know what, you’re not ALONE, per se. You have J. Try to remember that I’M THE SINGLE FRIEND.

I’m the third wheel.

I’m the plus one.

Hehe. It feels good actually.

Moving on. Sometimes, friendships grew apart even if you try hard to stay part of it. I guess it’s part of growing up. I guess it’s part of learning.

Based on my experience,  friends come and go. They come when you least expect it and vice versa. Friends who are real are like glue. They stick. Friends who are not fall off. 

They sometimes drift. They drift together–like the continents.

Maybe because they know where to go–they go to the same direction–opposite from where you are comfortably sitting.

Why do they drift? 3 things.

1. It’s my way or the highway.  

We no longer jive. The psychic connection has been temporarily or permanently disconnected.  We cannot agree on the same thing anymore. Hypothetically, I think it’s just adjusting to new experiences– to new realizations.

2. Issue Tissue 

There are issues waiting to surface. Yet, we supress them. We just turn a blind eye. We erase the thought of a possible fall out. We get scared of unleashing the beast. We hide the skeletons in our closet.  

3.  THE F word

Faction. Just like division, the group is cut into half–the leftist being the cause of the break up. When the group is big, this is inevitable. Take it from my experience.  

Whatever the case maybe, it’s one of these three things. It’s sad but sometimes you just have to look at it this way:

It’s better to travel alone than with a bad companion. 

It hurts when you want to cherish and preserve the friendship. But if all effort has been exhausted and all has been said and done, letting go may be the ultimate solution. 

I’ll leave you with a song from one of the favorite bands–The Dave Matthews Band:

excerpt of Space Between:

Take my handCause we’re walking out of hereRight out of hereLove is all we need dear

The space betweenWhat’s wrong and rightIs where you’ll find me hidingWaiting for you

The space betweenIn your heart and mineIs the space we’ll fill with time

The space between

Google my Yahoo

Just for curiosity’s sake I typed my first name and was on a searching frenzy.. Would you believe i found an almost match to my oh-so unique name (not anymore)

JOYCEERICA….

Whuaaaat????

I found it in one of the forums. PINOY EXCHANGE

Bummer!

I’M A HATER

Because I learned from watching an episode of HOUSE M.D. that:

….If I enjoy hating life I don’t hate life, I enjoy it.

Consequently, I think it does makes sense. Here’s a list of what I hate…errm..enjoying hating:

1. People who constantly pry on your private matters.

It pisses me off that some people just expects too much of you. They even expect you to be an open book. And as if you are not even open enough. Do you want to check if I still have my appendix? Here’s a scalpel, be my guess and cut me right open. Again, I am not a carcass. Don’t expect me to self-mutilate and be vulnerable. Don’t expect me to divulge my entire life story in one sitting. Besides, there are things better left unsaid. Therefore, I invoke my right to PRIVACY.

2. People who questions OTHER people’s sense of style.

Hmm.I do this at times. But I’ve learned that, anyone can be color blind. I can’t blame them. Everyone has their own sense of taste. Even if you don’t agree, maybe you should try to deal with it. You might find it entirely bizarre in your own fashion book. Nevertheless, as they say in fashion one day or in and the next day you’re out. Who cares? I don’t really give a shit. Move on. Get over it.

3. People who claims to be PERFECT.

Yes. You! I ain’t kidding when I said that my foot looked better than your face. Teehee. In fact, I was being subtle.

4. People who are utterly annoying whether they mean it or not.

Sometimes, due to hormonal imbalance, I get to emotional—too sensitive. I tend to overreact. I just trust my gut too much. I think you’re personally trying to sabotage me through you’re punchlines. I don’t know if you’re insecure or just unbelievably insensitive. Either way, I am aware of what you’re doing and I have it all figured out. I  might be paranoid. Paranoid is good. TEEHEE.

5. People who are trying too hard to act COOL and CUTE when they already are.  

I get it. You’re cute. Everyone likes you. Don’t flatter yourself to much. I might include you in my book of flame just in case you try to pull off the same stunt you did to the unassuming others.  I heard your nice. Hmmm.

You give mixed signals. They confuse me sometimes. Maybe my radar is not working. Let me have a look.

 So I leave you all with a piece of shitty punchline:

Kung ayaw mo akong MURAHIN, MAHALIN mo na lang ako. 

Kapish?
