Carbonara

5.26.11
Awaiting Chedeng's arrival while watching Showtime


Hmmm… I have been under the weather for 2 days already and been home alone.  Andrew knew of my situation and cooked Carbonara, packed in a plastic container and gave it for me to reheat today.  Awwwwwww… isn't he sweet? hayst. 

Masarap pala magkasakit :) hehehehe

Beyonce

Her performance at the Music Awards is simply astonishing!  This is probably inspired by that Japanese guy's video on youtube, nevertheless, amazing! :)  This must have cost her a fortune!




uhm… but the song.. I am not still feeling it.  I find it all noise, rather than tune and lacks luster :p

Bothered profusely

I've had a crush on him from the time I saw his picture from a common friend of ours.  The Aussie friend blatantly described him, oh kana sya, he is bayot uy!, mixing her Aussie twang with Bisaya.  Cute.  I mean the way my friend enunciated those words. hahahaha :)

I officially met him in BED (no, the club! well, I wish hehe) by February of this year.  He was  with a friend, who I initially thought was his better half, as Chantelle (Aussie friend) had mentioned that he was hitched.  I scrutinized his companion then, and remembered clearly exclaiming to myself, it was exaggeration that he was hot, he is not! hehehe  Turned out he was just a friend of the guy.  Then my eyes wandered over to the guy I saw on the picture.. ahhh.. my type.  Tall, chinito, fair-skinned, intelligent (CPA, love my own hehehhe), 23 years old (young! hehehe), lives in Mandaluyong (no proximity issues) and definitely gay. hehehhehe :)  I definitely like him.

It's not natural for me to add up guys on Facebook, but I was not able to resist. :) I clicked on his profile and devoured (??) all the information I could get my hands on.  He accepted my friend request and from there, we were constant chat mates every Sunday.  It was there that I subtly asked for his number:

Hush: 'Gimik this saturday, join ka!! :)'

K: 'Sa malate ba?  Kaka.gimik lang namin sa Palawan2 last night with Bogs'

H: 'Who's Bogs?'

K: 'hehhehe kala ko na introduce ko na kayo.  Yung BF ko'

Ahhhhh.. hmf.

H: 'ahhh oo nga.  Well text me if you want to join us. 0917 696 6969.'

K: 'ok. Will do'

He joined us that night, but what was ironic was, Aldrin bought along a guy he dated, and Ferns was with Vic, his then-boytoy.  So, it turned out that it was as if we were having triple dates, which I felt self-conscious about.  I didn't want him to feel that it was a triple date and tried to elude him as much as possible.  Hay.  I should have been sweet instead! tsk tsk!

I have always loved challenges, and the idea that the guy has a partner excited me to my very core.  Somehow, I sensed they were on shaky grounds, based on stories he tell, and the manner we exchanged text messages.. or maybe it was just my imagination.  Nevertheless, I restrained myself from flirting too much with the guy and even joined him and his boo on one occasion to Palawan2.  His boo is ok, pa.tweetums effect.  I distanced myself and seldomly texted the guy, unless he initiates first.  hehehe

Then, 8 hours ago, I saw the post above in his FB account, then all  sensual  feelings rushed forth and I was giddy.  I called him up (atat lang) and asked whether he was ok, and that he shouldn't worry coz he should know that I have shoulders to cry unto.  Very drama, actually, but I mean it. hmf!!  He wouldn't divulge the reason why he broke up with his boo, only vague statements about words spoken but not shown (tama ba, paninindigan sabi nya eh. ) and how he has been waiting for it for a year already and still nothing.

I called up Rori to seek for advise, and he said to give it time.  Maybe it's just a phase in their relationship (sh#t ka!!) and that they may still be able to resolve it (puttanesca!!), afterall, they have been at it for a year already (leche flan!).  Hmf. hmf. hmf.  I hate him, and yeah, those are words that I will heed, as much as I would love to go to his office and play nota, este, DOTA with him.  I will learn that game, I swear!! 

I am confused.  Hay.  But I promised myself that the next time he falls, I'll be there to catch him tenderly :) weeeh 

*hush hush*

Peeved Hush :(

May 18, 2011.
Hush Place.
5am.


I came home late after a date with Secret, and a bit exhausted from the 30-minute drive from Cambridge Village where he resides.  Ang layo!! hay.


I opened Macky, checked my FB account and noted that a friend posted pictures of their recent trip to Chinatown.  Out of nowhere, my blood temperature rose and texted rantingly the guy:


Before you insist your mediocre thoughts on me, please ensure that you get your data correct.  It's pathetic to dislodge you from these pretense.


I lost my cool.  


All my emotions ran down the drain when I recalled earlier the messages we exchanged.


G: 'Morning, Hush'


H: 'Aptirnun po'


G: 'Gutom ako, i'm craving for siomai'


H: 'Hmmmmm… aha man siomai diri?'


G: 'Sa Ongpin'


H: 'Ongpin is soooo not right.  Binondo is the right term'


G: 'What makes it not right?'


H: 'It sounds so probinsyano! hahahaha  Nobody uses Ongpin these days'


G: 'No.  There are still people using Ongpin and I don't believe you'


H: 'And what makes you say that?!'


G: 'Well, first and foremost, my officemates call the place Ongpin, rather than Binondo.  A Chinese doctor friend of mine calls it Ongpin also, Ongpin is the street name, while Binondo is the city, so Ongpin is within Binondo, and lastly, why would I rely on somebody who is not even a native to this place??'


I was struck speechless.  I couldn't send a response and I didn't realize that it was dangerously confined at the back of my mind, because when I saw the pictures posted in FB that dawn, it came back with a vengeance, and knowing that he was well awake that time, I immediately send out this message:


Fyi.  The restaurant you ate in, Wai Ying, is at Benavidez Street, BINONDO.  Not Ongpin, BUT Benavidez, BINONDO.  I may not be a native of this place, but I've been to more locations than any of those so called acquaintances of yours.  Che!


I woke up to his reply:


I just arrived at home.  I"m sorry Hush, what I said was offensive.


I don't know.  I decided to write my thoughts.  I guess, my nature of not to be outdone has gotten the best in me.  I realized that what started out as a harmless remark on my end (calling him probinsyano indirectly) may have affected him also, and as any ordinary mortal would react when being named, would retort back by labeling you also.  I guess, it's my fault also.  


I'm still deciding whether to respond to his text or simply ignore it.  Hayst.


*hush, hush*

Secret Name (Pick-up lines Chapter 11)

May 14. Saturday.
Chelu




I had promised myself to spend some quality time alone at home, just lying around in bed, and not picking up my phone, so leave a message after the tone, coz I swear I'm not doing anything (play Lazy Song by Bruno) hehehe!


Totoot.  Totoot.


Oh.  I grabbed my phone, Mikey might be texting. hehehe


Hmf.  It was just Carlo.  Double hmf.


'Ate, walang gimik mamaya?'


Hmmm… Should I yield in to temptation? hehe


'Shobe, text mo si Ferns'


'Eh, nakipagdate ang sister ko sa MOA eh.', he responded.


'Hmmm.. si Mateo texted also if wala bang gimik.  You feel like going out kahit wala si Ferns?', I asked.


'Haler! Oo naman noh.  Kahit tayo lang 2, pero kaw na bahala sa pagtext sa kanila, ate'


Hmf.  Inutusan ako ng bruha.


'Chge'


Turned out, it was only I and Carlo who went out that night.  The rest of the pack had their own business to do, but I was thinking, it was payday weekend and I surmised that a lot of people would be trooping to Malate that day.  Yehey!


1am.


Turned out that my premise was correct afterall.  The bar was packed! hehe Nice. :)  


I noticed that they improved the layout of the bar.  The DJ's booth, which used to be on the right side on the way to the lavatory, was moved to what was once the lounge area on the left side.  It gave way to a more spacious dancefloor :)  The owners have also added laser lights on the booth, and though not as high-techie as BED, it will pass for the P250 entrance you pay for.


We took our Ice and proceeded to the dancefloor and check the guys out.  I saw Kris and killed the butterflies that were lurking in my stomach.  He was dancing with this tall guy (which contrasts his petite size!) and he was not even half as handsome as I am! hmf. Bitter. hahahahahahaha sensha.


Amidst the crowd, somebody was making his way to the dancefloor.  He sported this Justin Bieber hairdo, a bit longer, and had a V-line shirt that teasingly showed his chest.  He paused, scanned the area and caught my eye.. and lo-and-behold!  He smiled at me :)  Yet he was followed by a semi-kalbo guy who tapped his shoulder and began dancing with him.  Hmmmmm… must be his partner.


I looked at Carlo.


'Wag.  May boyfriend yung tao.'  Apparently, he can read my mind.


But what bugged me was the guy I was interested kept glancing at me while dancing with his partner.  It was obvious that he was not attentive to his partner's sways and struts, and from time to time, teasingly smiled at me, as if to say, save me from him!  It was so hard!!  Decisions, decisions, decisions! hmf.  I let them be.. it was sooo tempting.  Hay.


At the bar.
2.30am


♫ If your an animal then tear up the floor ,♪ Break a sweat on the floor ♫ Yeah we work on the floor ♪


I was thumping my feet to JLo, mesmerized by the laser lights and enjoying the soothing effect of Ice.  I was having a blast!  It was good to be back on the floor. hehe  I realized that Bieber was staring at me the whole time.  He was just lurking on the side of the post and when he saw that I took heed to his stare, he smiled.  Tantanan mo nga ako. hehehehe Assuming! hahahaha I reciprocated with a flashing, wide grin.  Tingnan lang natin. hehehehe


He slowly made his way towards me, and pretended to just pass by me to grab some drinks.  I didn't play his game and ignored him.  He passed by me again and when our cheeks were inches part, turned to smile at me again.  This time, I drooled, Hello :)


A: 'Hi'


Hush: 'I've noticed you for some time now'


A: 'Yah, on the dancefloor.  I kept smiling at you, but you wouldn't approach me'


H: 'Coz you were with your partner.  I didn't want to be an ass'


A: 'Oh that guy.  He was nobody.  Just wanted to dance and I obliged'


H: 'Really?'


A: 'Yah'


H: 'Hmmm.. you look familiar, have we exchanged mobile before?'


A: 'Might be.  It was snatched a few months ago, so I lost all my contacts..'


H: 'Awww…' Then I fished for my phone if it was still there.  Hehehe It was still in my pocket. hahahaha Paranoid. 'So how do I call you?'


A: 'I'm Andrew :)'


H: 'Call me Hush.  Text me. 0917 696 6969.'


He smiled and hurriedly saved my number.  I kissed him.  He said he was about to go home coz he had duty at 6am that day.  Good thing he got my number then. hehehe


3.45am


Carlo and I scouted the area once more and ended again on the dancefloor.  He nudged me.


'Look to your left.  Chinito guy.  My type'


I turned my gaze on the guy Carlo described.  My, my, my.. my type din. hahahahaha


'Dance with him then', I encouraged Carlo.


'Eh ang layo nya eh'.


'Sige, ako nalang'


The wonders that alcohol brings. hahahaha 


H: 'Hello there'


S: (startled, hello there ba naman introduction ko!) 'Hi'


H: 'What's your name?'


S: 'Secret'


Sh3t sya.  Pa.secret.secret pa syang nilalaman.  I whispered to Carlo, 'Secret daw name.  Lecheflan sya!'


Not to be discouraged, I plowed still.


H: 'Why secret?  Is giving out one's name a secret these days?' 


Yan, British twang na yun! Hmf.


S: 'Nope! My name's not Secret!' He laughed.  The place was already noisy and I was tipsy.


H: 'You said it was Secret!' I accused.


S: 'I said, Seigfred! S-E-I-G-F-R-E-D, Seigfred!'


Ahhh.. Seigfred pala.  hahahahahaahha :) kala ko my charms were running out that night.  Lasheng na pala ako. hihihihihi


He said he was working for Makati Shangrila, second in line to the front desk.  I didn't know what that meant, until later.  He said that they are responsible for taking up reservation calls, wake-up time etc etc.  I couldn't remember the conversation we had as I was pretty much intoxicated, but the one thing I didn't forget to do was get his number. Hihihihi  Cute kasi sya. :)


H: 'Uwi na ako'


S: 'Sige'


H: 'Wala ako goodbye kiss?'  


I pouted.  He heeded.  Obedient boy din pala si Seigfred. hehehe


Til the next chapter, hushkins.


*hush, hush*

Of Peacocks and Dragons (Pick-up lines Chapter 10)

May 13

Friday the 13th

Mother beckoned me to open my account and aside from the usual messages I received (may place ka, S3x tayo; punta ka rito, inom tayo; etc etc), one stood out in particular.

Mike: 'Hi Mike here from Libertad, how are you?'

Hmmmm… I checked his profile.  Wow! Ulalam! hehehe :) 23 years old, young and virginal :) hehehe  Top, hmmmm… minus points, tsk tsk.  But what truly caught my attention was his ideal mate:

attracted to a guy who Does not have any trace of Like us. (ung tipong ndi maganda ang katawan, tapos hindi fitted mga suot sakto at tama lang) and a damn smart guy would be on the top of my list. 

Hmmmm… I looked at myself.  Che!  Porke't wala akong topless picture, minessage nya ako?? Hmf.  Maka seek advise nga kay Mugen on how to enhance my good genes. hehehe

I gave the poor guy the chance of his life and replied:

Hush: 'Hey MIke from Libertad :) I'm doing good, prepping myself for work. kaw?'

M: 'Nice.  I"m at work now :D  where you workin at?'

H: 'Makati.. wow! may PR sa work mo? hehehehe

         lemme guess where you are in Libertad.. CGS?? hahahahahaha ;)'

M: 'Yeah! asa profile ko naman eh.. hehehehe sa makati rin ako, anong company?'

I paused to take my shower then and give the guy some teaser moment. hehehe

H: 'Just got out sa shower :) tsalap. hehehe

     me? I work at Paseo de Roxas, corner Villar street :) kaw? saan ka work?'

M: 'Sa eco plaza ako hehehe, uo nga eh sarap maligo mainit.. :D san ka sa manda?'

H: 'ang init nga. :) Sa labas ng manda, hinde sa loob. hehehehe :) corny noh T_T hahahaha

     Sa *tttooooot toooot* manda here :) hmm… where is eco plaza? Anong company if you  

     don't mind me asking ..'

M: 'hahahaha natawa naman ako kahit corny hehehe :D Teletech.. kaw ba? kakalipat ko lang dito'

Ay. pa-cute.  Hmmm.. call center agent, ganda guro ng boses nito :)

H: 'ah.. me? Ay oo nga pala, ako lang pala kausap mo! hahahaha kala ko kasi nasa conference tayo hahahahaha  :)' (hmf! pa-cute din ako! :p)

    'I work for $#$Bank, the $#$ that never sleeps, ika nga. hahahaha I do paperworks and   

    all the boring stuff that an accountant has to live by! hmf. hehehe

    

     Why'd you leave your previous employment? Greener pastures? heheh :)'

M: 'The account was complicated for me and stressful, along with that I'm sick and tired working at night.  and my account has more accounting than you do I guess.  Quickbooks accounting software was my previous account.. :D'

H: 'Aw.. yah.. working at night does have its bad effects.. good thing for me, the latest I go home is at 2am.. and I get to work late also, so not much pressure on my end :)

     hahaha nasuka ka sa accounting? hehehe eh imagine me taking up the course the entire collegiate years! haha and I live by that profession :)

     so what do you do now in Teletech? You do technical stuff?? hehehe *nagpapacute lang* hahahaha'

M: 'loz :D yeah! telecom would be my forte..

     yeah! reconciliations, creating invoices, estimates.. etc.. sucks! 

     aarrrrgggghhhh… what time you'll be out tonight? let's meet if you don't mind :D'

Hmmm… bilis ah.  He might think I'm easy to get. hmf! :p

H: 'Cge, let's exchange numbers, mine's 0917 696 6969.. I'm logging out, gotta got to office to pay for rent. heheheh :(

    Btw, I noticed you have peacock feathers on your tattoo, but it's the chinese dragon character you have on.. curious lang. '

M: 'Yeah! it means dragon.. coz I was born year of the dragon.. :D that was the first one that I got on it.. second is the peacock feather.. 091S %$%$#@'

1am.

I drove up to his condo and we initially decided to lull around his condo's clubhouse but I assessed that he was  ok to take home. hehehe  I normally text Rori who I date with and the details in case something bad happens (knock on wood!!).  I texted Rori, hmmm.. he seems ok and I can take him down should he decide to pull something naughty. hehehe :)

Mike: 'I like the way how you call me Mikey.. only a few people call me that'

I turned to him and stared intently.

Hush: 'Ows.  Who used to call you Mikey? You're ex? hehehhe'

M: 'Sira.  My elementary buddies.. (looks around at my place) you sure you don't have the habit of bringing your dates at home??'

H: (winks) 'Lucky you.  You're the first that I took home' Well, technically, he was! hmf. I just moved in here last April.. hmmm.. but there was this other guy.. and the guy before that.. never mind! hmf. teheee

I continued, 'so where is this Quickbooks company?'

M: 'Stream..'

I nearly choked on my water! 

H: 'Etelecare?'

M: 'Yup.'

and I started naming names.. blah blah..

M: 'hahaha yah, I know them! Grace even paired me up with Christian, but I know that Christian has a partner who's working in Cebu now'

H: 'No. Davao.'  Puttanesca! how small could this world be. and to think that Christian guy he was talking about has a common friend with me who I used to date also! hmf.

M: 'So tell me how you became acquainted with these guys' He had that smile that could easily melt me. Hay!

H: 'Basta.. I once dated somebody from their group.. but what matters is now, right?' I gave him my multi-million peso smile :)

M: 'Wow! Wow ha! You really know how to maneuver things'

H: 'hahahaha and more than what you could think of.. my Ulalam…' I gave him my most sultry voice. hahahahaha

and we kissed.

Aren't peacocks the prettiest?? hehe

The end.

*hush hush* for now :) 

     

Hushed Wednesday

It got me around 12nn to get my ass up from bed and make myself some brunch.


The temperature in my room is just too perfect and I was wrapped in my favorite comforter.  I just didn't want to get up yet.. not just yet. =)  I want to savor every bit of peace I was enjoying.


My bladder was shouting out and I was forced to evacuate the warm abode and yanked the door open.  I was surprised that the sun was already at its highest peak and my sofa was basked in glorious sunshine. there is no sign of rain.. finally the storm has come to pass.

I made myself some nice toast (hehehehe actually, grabbed is more like it) and stirred my favorite milk tea, Lipton Original.  Dipping and dunking the toast into my warm drink is definitely heavenly.  Each bite is excruciatingly blissful, and toast melting in my mouth is purely sinful! hehehehe :9  


I switched open my tv and tuned to V to complete my midday ritual.  The sound from the speakers surround my living quarters and recoiled on the walls of my sanctum.  This is the life and today I shall enjoy my leave :) hehehehehe 

Finally, I feel rested :)




*hush hush* for now.
