My Prince Charming

"My heart stops when you look at me. Just one touch and Baby I believe this is real so take a chance and don't ever look back"

I was all effed up last year. It started like as if I was in a roller coaster ride. My feelings fluctuated but it all circled around just with the negative adjectives you could think of. Lonely, miserable, sick, paranoid, underappreciated and effin oppressed. I remember how C and I watched "Miss you like crazy" emptying a Kleenex box as we internalized every John Lloyd-Bea crying moment until we went out of the theater. We were pathetic.

 I was like that for months. I didn't have the energy to even listen to Celine Lopez when she said that a girl is only permitted to be ugly, introvert, miserable for 3 weeks if she was from a bad break-up and yet I overstayed and took another 3.

But that's just fine. Heck, when I finally decided to look for a job and help myself because no one could but me, I looked for 2 jobs. I planned to busy myself with work to forget all about the life called LOVE.

I kinda felt happy and all just spending "ME" time, once in a while - with new friends and old, catching up with cousins and tourist-guiding my students. But, that was until JB.

I've known JB since I was 15. He's my buddy, Jonas' brother. And I mean younger brother. If cradle snatching were a crime, I'd be guilty as charged! Haha.. He's even younger than my biological brother. We've only exchanged His and Hellos when I visit Jonas during parties. Having said that, I never remembered him spoke to me. It's either he smirks at me or raises his eyebrows. But he NEVER said Hi. What a snob!

 

Last November, my 3-month old "trusty" laptop malfunctioned and being the panicky person that I am, I called the best, nearest possible help - Jonas, who referred me to JB since he was all computer geeky and techie-ish. And for a person who has been telling me that he doesn't like to study, he knows a lot when it comes to computers.

The first few days were the worst ever. Connection lost - I hate you Sky Broadband. Laptop broken. Classes missed. Students quit. Great! I couldn't even see what the silver lining was. I didn't know it was my techie boyfriend, after all.

Okay, I won't go into details but you know how the story began. And my addictions include:

His speaking voice. The sexiest voice ever. You won't know until you hear it. But think of Josh Hartnett.

His singing voice. Lovely and eats my heart out. It's like listening live to Christian Bautista. Seriously.

His eyes. I have a thing with chinky-eyed men. And as what Debbie Gibson always said: I get lost in his eyes.

His hands. Beautiful hands ever. Macho but neat. And so fast when he plays Counter Strike. haha!!! I even plan to record it on video. Baby, please let me?

 

His scent. Sometimes Oxygen, sometimes Lacoste, sometimes Lewis and Pearl. What-have-you. Still the best smell/s in the world.

His kisses. Okay, kisses from the one you love are all addictive. I shouldn't be explaining this since this is obvious and given.

His heart. He is nothing but nice. I feel like he's bringing out the best in me. And I think I can let it pass when he says that the other thing that he loves besides me is his PSP. Okay, then. You'll have your bonding with the PSP and those DOTA vanguards. Haha..

I never expected him and my brother to be close but thanks to The Bar. He is now officially Pogs' drinking buddy but in moderation. I promise. My mom likes him. Even Apollo does.

We are both Pizza monsters. Haha.. It's a good thing my brother works at Greenwich. Pizza is just one text away.

We sing together. Songs from the 80's. Ballads.
The Backstreet boys. RnB. Heck, and even Linkin Park!

He's so addicted to computers that he lets me hold the remote control EVERYTIME.
The TV is mine. The computer is his. Yay.

Last Christmas I had coffee with C. We caught up on old times and remembered that the last time we had that "bonding" was last Valentine's day when we were both plain lonely and miserable. Last Christmas was an emotional night since we were both happy at the moment and that the year won't end in tears but with all the joy and happiness that we deserve.

She's got L and I've got J.

I mean, it's true that when God closes a door, He opens a window. And that's JB to me.

Jb and Elle - Just LOVE

Money. A lot of people like it - including yours truly.

When I do have classes with

Advanced students and ask them if

they like money, they'll always say

that they do.

Some would say that money makes

them happy.

Some would say that money is a necessity but

not overall happiness.

One student told me that

money doesn't make him

happy. It just makes him buy

all the things that he

wants to buy and for him,

that's not happiness but

only satisfaction -- and I've always

wanted this student because he always made his

point. With money you can buy everything and

anything~~ cars, bags, accessories, cosmetics.

I do get it when people like money. But

to love it is absurd.

I like money but not as much as I appreciate the

world around me with so much joy because I don't

hurt others. I don't judge them.

And I'm not saying that it makes us all bad people if

we love it. It's hypocrisy.

Unless there still is Galleon

trade, I'm afraid we

have to keep on earning money.

Well, my friend Kate always talks about how she

wants to have a foreign hubby for her to be well-off.

And since she's my friend, I respect whatever she

wants to do with her life.

She's kind, smart, thoughtful. She's

sweet in her own little way.

She's a good daughter and a loving

sister, too. She's very friendly and you

can always see her smile.

What's not to love about her, huh?

I just warned her that money can change everything

and I don't want that friend of mine to just be history.

I don't want everything I have just

mentioned to disappear because of

tons of Benjamin Franklin bills.  

I like Kate because she is what she is.

Does money make the world go round? In a way, yes.

But still, the best things in life are free.

Love. Joy. Parents. Brothers. Sisters.

Friends. Sleep. Laughter. Music.

Blue skies. Smile. Peace of mind.

...and the thought that you make other people happy

with your existence.

That's priceless.
