Dominic Roco - a bilao of rice biko and relyenong bangus!
At 7 o'clock in the morning of June 29, this sweet guy asked me if I like to eat biko? I said yes! And by the 11th am, a bilao of special malagkit rice biko and 6 relyenong bangus were delivered handcarried to my office! I was stunned! OMG! I thought Dom's joking! He was not! All my employees were kilig to the bones! Followed by a text : " Nagustuhan mo ba ang padala q sau? Kinain mo ba?". Oha!!!
Mamatay sila sa inggit!
Eihcer - "love is a choice. Destiny is a lie."
" when a guy calls you, he wants to be with you.
when a guy is quiet, he's listening to you.
when a guy stares at you, he wishes you would care about him and wonders if you do.
when a guy calls/texts/comments on you everyday, he is in love!
when a guy tells you he loves you, he means it!
when a guy says, "I miss you!", he misses you more than you could have ever missed him in
anything else."
He does the every "when".
Alex- " love is a destiny."
He believes that love is a matter of destiny designed by the Almighty for every person living on earth. So even if he loves you so much, he will forget about you when he learned you're not his destined partner to be!
He extends covenant friendship where a friend will be willing to die for his friend if necessary!
He's my covenant-friend!
Rein - " not everyone is blessed with everything."
He's successful in every endeavor yet finds himself not blessed in love!
He's also my covenant-friend!
Gary - " love is something to enjoy about."
He believes that if you failed in your relationship, it's not always the end! You can still enjoy it! He learns fast in love and fun. He's always there, silently lurking around my celphone connection, always wondering why my phone's busy or not available!
He's also my covenant-friend!
Macmac- " success lies within."
Don Makoy wishes to be rich and famous! Very industrious! Always finding the secrets to success and I believe he has found the one!
He's also my covenant-friend!
Mark - "say what you mean and mean what you say."
He taught me that women should be open with their minds, saying what's in it so men won't misunderstood them! He taught me to be frank about my feelings and my thoughts. Not to be afraid of what's in my mind. That there is freedom and peace in it! But he's gone now! I wonder if he will come back again?
Jhomar- " it's human to commit a mistake."
He's afraid to fall!! Yet, all along he taught me that it's o.k. to commit mistakes. That it's healthy so you will learn! That mistakes is part of our existence and we should not be afraid of them!
These are the guys who shook my world!

" Dominic"
Dominic was a stranger who landed on my cellphone, through a mistaken identity situation, on a hot, tensed and tiring Sunday afternoon of June. I had no idea that this person is a "someone" in showbizness because of his father's legacy! I didn't even know that this guy exists because I don't usually watch television except for news and english movies I prefer to watch. My confusion as to this mistaken identity led him to find out how my number got into his brother's celphone. I thought that was a short moment. And I thought this man was just pretending to be what he claimed to be: the son of a legendary actor!
I called that day a shot! All things forgotten including this "Dominic".
While trying to find my way along J.P. Rizal Avenue, Dominic sent me a message. And this went on everyday up to this day. No period of the day that he stopped sending me messages, even while in classes ( for he's attending his Mass Communication classes in Mapua), in shootings, in tapings, even in practices for the SOP opening numbers! He lets me know his ways to and fro! I know if he's sick, or busy, or simply tired, or irritated!
We became best friends!
Our friendship was already put to the test. It is good that we always end up forgiving one another, as if nothing happened, our friendship continues.
Day after day, I came to know Dominic. He's a sweet person but hesitant to show his feelings. You see him on tv as out-going and funny, but in real life, he's quiet and "torpe". He hates noise and loud voices. He dislikes women who are loudmouthed and "maarte". He likes simple women who can talk to him about everything and anything. A woman who can make him laugh is a plus to him. The best I like in him is his humility. He's quick to admit his fault and to say " I'm sorry.". And he will make you feel that you're important to him! He's also a perfectionist man, responsible and punctual, loyal to his commitments and hates laziness!
But that's not all with Dominic. There are a lot of beautiful things about him!
And wishes too. He wishes to be free! Free from public scrutiny! Free to move about! Free to be himself! It's not easy to be in showbizness, he said.
Oh, that's true, even I can feel it!
Did I already come face to face with Dominic? Not yet! Our time and work can't permit us to do so but promised to be one day. Oh, but am scared! Scared to see him!
If I will assign him a color in my world, I will give him my favorite color "Black"! Because you need to unlock him to get to know him, and when you do, you'll discover that he's more than meets the eye!
I hope our friendship will last a lifetime!

Friends come, Friends go in life
"....someone to hold,
someone to cry,
someone who'll make me feel all right..."
-Maybe

It's a fair day since Sunday, only got a little unfair yesterday when a supposed friend dropped me off from his list of friends! Shukss! Naiyak ako! My frustration seemed triggered the sky... it thundered, and caused a 3 minutes brown out in our area, shut down my cpu while I forgot to saved the documents I was working on! I was kinda "brought back to my senses" when the brown out stroke!I paused for a while and controlled my frustration and sama ng loob.
I've talked about "rejection" last month, and a friend of mine who's a training facilitator, said he's given an assignment to discuss this topic scientifically and medically to his bunch of trainees. We have discussed the underlying factors, misconceptions and treatment of "rejection" in the YM. Well, I was given a taste of it, perhaps so I could put to a test everything I have contributed in our discussion of this topic, "rejection".
A friend go, some friends come! The heaven always has its way of cheering me up! I gained a friend from Mindanao, who's honest enough to admit who he is and accept whatever is in my profile! And I'm also glad to be a textmate to a celebrity, which is not a product of Sun promo offer, but of a mistaken identity. The story how he landed on my phone is hilarious but it's like a drop of rain on my very exhausting Sunday afternoon! My laughter echoed to the community, the tribespeople looked at me with amazement exclaiming " teacher, ok lang po kau? masaya po kau?". Nobody likes to believe me that its true. Maybe because its difficult to trust a text message, coz you can't see who's on the other side. Madaling gawin 'yan! But nevertheless, I"m still proud that my range of friendships is getting wider. We've been texting now for 3 days, informing me where he is and what he's doing. And telling me what's in his mind!
This afternoon, I'd go 3kms walk to the seashore to get into a banca into the nearby island where my work is. Go back by 6pm. I hope this time, the banca will be fine, coz yesterday its almost "abandon ship!" in the middle of the bay for the 3 of us who gone by the island! Buti na lang di uso ang sharks ngayon dito sa amin! I don't know how to swim, but the irony of life is, I was called to work in the communities of "water people" who are like dolphins when they're in the water!
This is life... I believe we should enjoy it, with its pains and sorrows. Not to, is to deprive ourselves of its essence!

it took me 30 minutes or more before i finally decided to write a post. my rational mind is battling againts the logic of my right brain! ...and a part of me is hurting.
but still, i got some things in my "pocket":
1. cacti are good anti-goat attack! ( re-planted cacti this morning near the fences to protect the herbs am planning to plant. I ended up pulling tiny thorns from my hands which my near-sighted eyes can't see!)
2. there are a lot of women in the world, and they're not the same with each other. No two women are alike, but luckily, the one similarity which guys must take note in order to succeed wooing a woman: their moves are predictable though most of the times confusing. (a friend of mine interviewed me about women and their reactions. cguro may naiispatan na ang mokong na ito?)
3. in a wardrobe, the shoes is the most important one! (I turned down a dinner-fellowship at Hotel Fontefino because I forgot to buy shoes which is appropriate for my dress! shukss! )
4. defense mechanisms cushioned the ego againts pain. ngekss!! ( i can't believe am sourgraping:" well anyway the dinner's for married couples, am not one. am single. so ok lang.) grrrr!
5. masarap na sawsawan ng manggang hilaw ang toyong may crushed 5 pcs siling labuyo, a pinch of sugar and a sprinkle of vinegar!
my rational mind is still battling againts the logic my right brain, and a part of me is still hurting.
i think i need a vacation!
