Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving Day one again, so Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I'm so sleepy right now because I only slept for 4 hours last night. My friend Skitz treated us (me and Ada) a hot coffee and chocolate at Dr. Pearl with our favorite chips (Lays and Ruffles). It has become our habit to hang out at least once a week by having some cheap snacks with a simple chitchat. We usually do it every Monday and we call it our Monday session when we're kidding around. We were not able to do it last Monday so we decided to do it last night.
Nwei, at 9:30 PM, me and Skitz went to Kalay's in Diamond Subdivision to have some drinks because I don't want to go home early. Surprisingly, one of my crushes at work was also there with his friends. He even sang at videoke. I did not mentioned it to my friend because she might teased me. he he he. Then at 11:20 PM we went home.

I got home at 11:40 PM and it was too noisy at the compound because my partner's cousin is celebrating her birthday. I went straight to our room and started fixing the bed. I can't sleep because of the sound coming from the videoke and their laughs. I don't want to go outside and mingle with them. Why? I don't want to mentioned it here but only 3 of my friends knows the reason. And that is the reason why I don't want to go home early.

Right now at work, I'm glad it's already empty. At least I can take a short nap later. With regard to the special thanksgiving meal, I am not sure If I will enjoy it because I'm trying to avoid eating prawns as they are great source of increasing blood pressure.

Well, tomorrow I'm on an undertime leave from 12:30 - 6:45 PM. I will go to my sister's alma mater to fixed her paper requirements so that I can get my new phone that she promised to me. After that, me and my partner will go to Villa Antonina for the overnight swimming with my GY friends at work. This will surely be memorable because three of my friends will be put on a "Hot Seat" for having a new boyfriend/girlfriend. =)

My Screening Experience

Yesterday afternoon was my second or final screening for the voice department. It was really a funny interview or i may say a blooper interview. Here's what happened...

First, he asked me personal questions such as how am i feeling that time, my tenureship, my words per minute and other questions. Then he asked me if I'm afraid of snakes. I said YES. Then he explained the two types of killer snakes. I forgot the real term, what I remember is the first snake can kill human through its venom like cobra and the other one can kill a person by using its body to wrap around its prey until it dies and yes, we call them the Anacondas.

The question is, If I'm going to die because of snakes, which one will I choose. So I chose the cobra type. I was asked why? I told him that if that snake bites me, I still have time to talked to my family and friends and give my last word.

Then he told me that I'm alone in a jungle, so no family and friends. I still chose the cobra type because I still have time to talked to God and asked for forgiveness for my sins. Then he told me that I can also do that while the anaconda is in my body. I told him that if that is situation, I rather fight the snake and try to escape instead of praying.

Second Scenario: World War II
He told me that I'm the leader of Japan, Italy and Germany. Then he explained the capabilities and armors of each countries. He asked me what are my plans to win the war. He told me my answer should not be like that of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" thoughts.

You know what is my answer? I told him that I will be talking to my commander-in-chief to stop or end the war. Then he immediately told me that my answer should not be like that so I changed my answer that I will command my commander-in-chief to drop a bomb like what happen in Japan. Then he asked me what country. I said Germany and Italy. Then he said that's your team. I said oh, I thought those are my enemies. Then I told him I will drop the bomb in USA and in Russia because they are the most powerful country.

Then that's it. I returned to my pod laughing to myself because of what I did on the screening.

For me, it's really hard to answer a difficult non-sense question. LOL

My Day-Offs

I only stayed at home last Saturday watching TV, eating and sleeping. Then last Sunday, me and my partner attended the 6:00 PM mass at San Rafael Parish Church. And what makes me happy is that the homily of the priest pertains to problems that most peopls today is experiencing such as being a jobless, financial and family problems. I am sure that partner was enlightened with what the priest shared because my partner is loosing his faith in God because of different problems he's been experiencing at present. And these trials are making him close to feeling depress and hopeless.

I don't know what else to do to help him but thanks to the priest coz he helped him somehow get his faith back and gain more strengths to fight back on what his going through.

After the mass, we immediately got home coz we don't have budget for a date this time. We bought hotdog and pork barbecue which we ate during dinner while watching TV. After an hour he laid on the bed while his head is on my lap. He told me that his head aches so bad because of his migraine until he went asleep. After an hour, he woke-up with his head still aching so I gave him some pain reliever.

We are planning to attend the mass this coming Sunday because the priest said it is the feast of Christ the King. =)

A Sweet, Dark, Cold and Rainy Night

Last night, I got home and I was surprised it was so dark. It turned out that the electricity is in our place is out of service.

His uncle already called the electric company and told them about the severe damage at the power station and they promised it will be available by night. So we're hoping that we can watch Mari-Mar. He he he

My partner bought some breads at the nearest bakery and he re-heat our vegetable soup so we can eat in a candle night dinner. How sweet...LOL. We just chat and talked a lot of things until 9:30pm. Since it is cold, I decided not to take shower that night so I just washed my face and body with a wet towel while my partner is fixing our bed.

While we're on the room, we noticed the time and it's already Mari-Mar show time, yet, we still don't have any electricity until we accepted the fact that the electric service will up maybe by the tomorrow morning. Our cell phone battery were close to get drained which made me worried because I use mine as my alarm clock to wake me up in the morning.

Me and my partner laid on bed, hugged each other and talked a lot of things and asked series of questions such as our future plans together, our past family stories, the first day we met and what might be our current life if in case we did not met last year.

We forgot the time until we realized it's already 12:20 in the morning so we decided to sleep. My partner woke me up at 5:35AM when he heard our neighbors watching TV.

I immediately charged my cell phone and tried to sleep again.

Tomorrow is my day-off. I hope the rain will totally stop so I can enjoy my rest day at home. I don't have plans yet but I will definitely tell you what will happen on Saturday and Sunday once I'm back to work on Monday. =)

Prison Break...I hate you!!!

Last night, once I got home at 7:30 PM, my partner is watching the Prison Break Season 3 DVD. I sat down in the carpet and began eating Sky Flakes while watching. An hur passed, I took ashower so I can watched Mari-Mar and PBB at a later time. After doing so, my partner seems does not have any plans of watching the usual TV program that we're watching together because of Prison Break so I decided to leave him and just go to his cousins' and join them in watching Mari-Mar. Am I Mari-Mar fanatic? I don't know, he he he.

After Mari-Mar (9:30 PM), I went back to our room and he was watching the Prison Break. So I decided to fixed our bed and laid and tried to get sleep. I used to be sleeping at 12 or 12:30 AM but not this time.

It's already late at night and he never stopped watching. I was already pissed off at that time because I can't sleep and I need to wake-up at 7:15 AM tomorrow and go to work. He seems not to understand that. And then, I woke-up at 5:10 AM because the rooster is too noisy. It's like his beak is just next to my ears. And now, I'm so sleepy at work but I'm glad we were able to empty the boxes at 11:54 AM. That means, I have a time to take a nap. he he he

Photo Shoots

Since I'm quite bored at home last Saturday and Sunday, I used my cellphone to take some pictures. Here they are...

My TextMate

I have a 30-year old BI textmate who is working at our neighbor call center, Sutherland. Since I'm an honest person, my textmate knew that I already have a partner. And at the same time, my partner also knows about my textmate. Why? Because I don't want this to be the cause of our break up.

Last Saturday, I got a chance to talked to him for almost the entire day through text. He told me that he is now resigning from his work because of these reasons; workload and schedules, salary/compensation is not enough for him and lastly depression. He was expecting to meet the "right guy" for him on that company but sad to say, that only leads to frustration and depression.

We exchanged and shared our loves stories. He shared his past and I shared my current. To make the story short, our conversation exceeded the boundaries until he is asking our "status". What???!!! I haven't met this person and now he is asking for "ours"???. I reminded him that I have a partner and I don't want to be a "two-timer" because I'm afraid of "karma". Then he just said that he understand that although I felt he is disappointed.

I also told him not to expect too much from me; that he must meet me first in person then see if I'm the right person he's looking for although I doubt that I'm the one for him.

Well, I want to help him to get out of that depression but it must be no strings attached. I've been there before. I've been asking God then on what's wrong with me because as far as i know, I've been a good gay. He he

What I learned is that, you need to be patient to received the best gift from Him. And that's what I'm trying to point-out to him. Wait patiently and have faith with God. =)

November 09-11, 2007 Storytelling

I. Blind Item
Last Friday, after my partner went online in an Internet Cafe, he waited for me at Clark Main Gate. Then I accompanied him at 7-Eleven to buy some drinks. Then I accidentally met an office mate who I suspect as a "BI". She introduced me to her "friend" but I forgot her name. And I also introduced my partner to them. To make the story short, I can now confirmed that she is a "BI" and her friend is not just a friend but is her GF. He he he. So for you....I can now officially welcome you to the club. =)

II. An Unexpected Date
Saturday morning, before I went home, me and my partner went to Jenra Dau to have his cellphone fixed. My allocated budget is 500 pesos. I told him that he has to pay excess in case the repair charge would exceed to 500. Fortunately, the repair man charged the reformatting of the cell phone to only 250 pesos. So we had brunch at Jollibee. He ordered 2 pieces Fried Chicken with extra rice and I ordered one-piece chicken with spaghetti meal.

III. Sunday Moments
Since Friday, me and my partner set our schedule to attend the Sunday mass. It's been months since we last attended a Sunday Mass together that is why I think our relationship is going through lots of bumps. I believe that God forgive us on our sins, love us as his children and guide us daily.

After mass, wen went to McDonald's Dau and had dinner. We seated at their Al-Fresco/Veranda area which is a perfect and romantic place for couples like us. =)

A Wonderful Night

Last night after my shift, I went straight to SM clark to pay my credit cards and buy some toiletries. A lot of my officemates were there as if I was still at work. My officemates are to be found anywhere. Some are waiting in line in a BPI ATM, some are looking up at some things in the department stores while others can just in the hallways and some are in the supermarket.

I even eyed my friend with a girl who by their looks is her gf. Anyway, it's nice to know that he finally found the girl for him.

And while I was at the supermarket, I received a text message from my partner. He is requesting me to buy him "siopao" as a pasalubong. So I thought of Hen-Lin. I remember seeing Lucky Me Jjampong (zham-fong) on the TV commercials and I wonder how it taste so I decided to buy and try it.

After buying the toiletries I need, I went to Hen-Lin booth and bought two Asado Siopao for my partner and for his mom. Immediately after, I went home.

As soon as I got home, my partner boiled some water for the noodles and we starting eating together with the "Pork & Beans " while watching Mari-Mar.

Well, the Jjampong noodles is great. It's indeed a spicy noodles which makes me sweat and feel hot. LOL. But I recommend you try it. =)

And while watching Mari-Mar, my partner told me that the episode we're watching was taken at Hotel Stotsenberg here in Clark. No wonder because the place looks so familiar to me since I've seen it one time when we passed by the hotel when we went to Mabalacat Gate of Clark.

Tomorrow and the day after are my offs. I plan to help my partner go to a cellphone repair shop to have his fone checked and fixed if needed.

A different surprise

Last Saturday, I had a great time with my family. After dinner, we all watched the Spider-man 3 DVD in our living room. Then yesterday (lunch time), we went to my Aunt for their Barangay Fiesta with their Patron San Carlos.

At 3:00 PM, my partner texted me that he is about to sleep and if ever I decided to go home at Dau, he wanted me to bring him some San Nicolas biscuits. During that time, we were already on our way going to Carmelite Monastery in Angeles City to give thanks and offer eggs with my parents and nephew. It's their first time to visit Carmelite although that've heard about it already.

4:00 PM we're at SM Clark to pick my brother up who is working at Gerry's Grill. I also passed by Jollibee and bought some snacks for my parents and nephew. And while waiting for my turn at the counter, the woman beside me accidentally dropped her 100 pesos. I said "Miss..." then I pointed my hand to her money at the floor and she said "thank you" while smiling.

My partner doesn't know about my arrival. And while at Jollibee, I ordered spaghetti, burger and fries for him. I wanted to surprise him with Jollibee fud instead of San Nicolas biscuits. I also plan to ask him to go with me to visit the church coz I really want to ask God to bless him with more strength because he's currently having lots of problems.

After buying few things in SM Clark, we went to Dau to get the rice stocks and dropped it at home. As soon as I reached at home (my partner's house), my mother in law welcomed me and asked me if I saw my partner outside because he went out to go to Internet Cafe and to see me. I responded in a slight shocking mode saying, "What???". I told her that his son does not have an idea about me coming to their house. Then I headed directly to our room and nobody's sleeping.

I texted my partner and ask him if he's already awake and what he's doing. He did not reply.

I did not any waste time. Since my parents will passed by Mountain View, I went with them and asked them to dropped me in Mountain View where my partner usually goes online. But to my surprised, he wasn't there.

After 20 minutes he replied to my text and told me that he will visit Carmelite and go to Internet Cafe. I got mad and confronted him through text. Then after 30 minutes, I went back home and ate all the Jollibee fuds that I brought him. I forgot my diet because I was really angry. Yes, that's how I am acting whenever I get mad or depressed. I keep on eating and eating.

After eating, I went back to SM Clark to calm myself down and think. I was very disappointed because he ruined my surprised. Actually, I was the one who got surprised after finding out no one's sleeping in our room. At 8:10 PM, he texted me and was looking for me at home. I told him that I will be at home in 10 minutes.

When I got home, I saw him mad. His mom told us that she does not want us to have physical fight instead talk things over. My partner fired some bad words about me and that made his mom angry and told him to stop. I told her mom to leave us and let us solve the problem just the two of us because I know she has been dealing with some problems of her own and I don't want her to get involved with ours.

I was just silent while my partner keeps on talking and explaining. He even tried to attack me. I did not stop him, I'm ready to whatever will happen that time. If in case he will attack me physically for the 3rd time, sorry for him...end of the story.

I approach him and got his arms and told him to beat me if that's the thing he want to do to stop or make him feel better. He told me while crying that he's not doing anything wrong nor he had another guy. He only wants to visit Carmelite and read his messages at Internet Cafe. I remained silent and listening to him. After a long confrontation, he hugged me and said sorry for all the messages that he texted me and that he does not want us to fight anymore. I also said sorry for what happened and for the messages that I sent. Then I took shower while he's eating dinner.

12:15 AM while my partner is watching TV and when I was about to sleep, my partner suddenly went on top of me and "raped" me. he he he. He gave me a hickey on my neck which I got mad. He told me that he only wants people to know that I am already taken. But I told him not to do it that way coz I really hate it coz for me, kiss marks easily gets people's attention, right?

I gave him a "tiger look" and got silent and went back to sleep while he's having problems with his Nokia N70 cellphone. His phone is hanging. He cannot open the Menu. The caller ID is not showing when someone calls.

I woke up at 6 AM when he switched on the TV because his cell phone is still having problems. I told him to remove the battery and SIM card and allow 1 hour before using it. But until now, he still cannot use it. I don't know what happened to it.

Well, that's all what happened during my weekend....
