Kelvs’ Pocket of Random Thoughts

I feel like Truman in The Truman Show. You know, with cameras everywhere and people watching me.

But more specifically, I’d say I feel like my dating life feels like a sitcom.

What’s the plot ? Simple. Kelvs’ pathetic attempt at searching for THE ONE. Pilot season probably shows me as a fat (and cute) 7-year old kid with his first crush… oh waitafuckinminute… let’s go further back to maybe 3 years old in nursery being pinched by this girl named Mercedes and being teased by my parents and yaya about it. It’s not funny ! Her pinches hurt !!!

The twist ? Kelvs always gets into complicated and wacky situations. If you’re part of my close friends group, you’ve probably heard of my stories.

Like that young chick who’s a bit umm… psycho that told me her dad’s asking if I’m courting her… 30 minutes after our first date; followed by her sister texting me the next date on how was it.

Then there’s the infamous ‘veggie girl‘. She’s a vegetarian. Well she eats seafood. But still… I fucking love bacon, steaks, and burgers.

Well you get the idea… I never get someone ‘normal’. Like my friends who are with their gfs for 10 years since HS and are now married. They’re pretty much ‘normal’.

Someone did tell me something though… “You make simple things seem complicated.”

She might actually have a point though.

But anyway… previous season ended with November. I’m curious to see what’s in store for next season.

“Don’t waste a minute of your precious life being a chump to a woman who probably retches at the thought of getting intimate with you”

-OTer

It can either be the most fucked up one yet. Or the most awesome one.

Can’t I just have a normal story like everyone else ? No twists ? No challenges ?

I dunno… good or bad. It’s gonna be part of my life. Just enjoy the ride.

A few epiphanies for today:

Stereotypes are REAL.

They are there because that is based on the experience of the majority. It was created because statistically… majority of ‘this’ is actually ‘that’. Why reject statistics ? So from now on, I’ll base everything on the stereotypes… until that single person proves the stereotype wrong. Thus, making him/her the exception.

and the other one…

Why is the concept of ’sin’ limited only to humans ?

Why aren’t animals bounded by restrictions of right or wrong? Is there no heaven/hell for them ? No right or wrong ?

Unbelievably…

I’m loving it.
The class, profs, paperworks, new friends, etc etc etc. EVERYTHING.

So yeah. The 1st term is officially over. Course cards aren’t out yet though. But I’d say I’m very much enjoying MBA… so far. The class discussions are so much more interesting. It’s the mix of people in the class… the mix of people of different ages… with different experiences. Just simply everything.

Another big reason of course would be the new friends I have made. Friends… network… acquaintances. Whatever you call it. Great great mix of people.

If I’m not such a lazy ass, I’d probably grab some photos and post them here.

But you should just go to my facebook and look up the pics/albums over there.

This post is pretty late but I still need to post it. So that I can reminisce one of the best birthday weeks ever !

7/21 Tuesday:

Went out with the barkada. Yes, my strong high school barkada (Henry, Gids, Stephen, Jasper) + Jerome. Ang wasn’t able to go since he was at the hospital that night. Grem and Lim’s in Dubai doing their shit.

Dinner at Little Asia in Morato. Then had coffee in Starbucks, Banawe with Jerome and Jasper. Felt feverish when I got home.

7/22 Wednesday:

Today’s the day I reserved to go out with Jen and Kats.

Started the day with a 37.5 fever. Drank plenty of Gatorade and had my mom buy me a couple tablets of Tylenol. Still on schedult to go out that night. But since our little group in Management Principles are meeting up to do our report, I showed up for a bit first before Kats picked me up.

Dinner at Hooters. Bleah waitress. Then watched Harry Potter. Well that was a boring movie. And of course, as our deal, we’re supposed to end the night by seeing Camille (my Starbucks barista crush). Oh this one’s icing on the cake for that night. Encounter’s as follows:

At the counter:

Me: Thanks !

7/25 Saturday:

Carlo’s birthday celebration on his condo’s penthouse. Pics are all over the facebook. Check out mine’s, Carlo’s, Marc’s or Kim’s. Great great kwentuhan session with Karl, Jamie, Marc, and etc.

After the party, some of us went to Chili’s to continue the kwentuhan session. Had 2 free ice creams from Chili’s for me and Carlo’s birthday. I eventually turned it into my birthday celebration.

Awesome night. Great stories as usual. New friends together with the group (Roch, Jigs, Dodge).

Definitely one of the most memorable birthday week for me. Getting sick and having midterms is definitely part of it being memorable.

The following will just be a big clusterfuck of stuffs that I wanna say with no regards to grammar nor spelling nor whatever.

So it’s raining again. Like raining heavy + flooding sort of rain. Just exactly the one I love. The one where you wake up in the morning and feel oh so good and wants to go back to sleep and hopes for no classes. Only to realize that you no longer have classes but you have to go to work instead.

Most of my friends know how much I love the rain.

Best thing to do while raining is to drive around the city with good music. Good friends might do too. Well good friends and good music then. I do hate floods though. Especially in Taft Ave. where mostly the sides are the first ones to be flooded and you see commuters in the middle of the road avoiding the flood while waiting for their jeepneys/busses. A 4-lane street is now effectively turned into 1-lane together with the jeepneys and busses.

You know what else is annoying ? Morning radio. Why the fuck are most radio stations having morning shows that have DJs talking about some random bullshit for 80% of the time ? I’m just gonna go blame Chico and Delamar for starting this crap way back 10 years ago. Lol and they’re still there. Honestly, some of the topics are cool and interesting. But in the morning… when I’m still groggy and grumpy and feeling shitty, I just want good music.

So why not turn on your CD player ? Your iPod ? I dunno. Maybe I just wanna hear some DJs in between some songs. Or maybe I wanna hear new songs that I still haven’t pirated.

Okay I just need to say something about chickens. I don’t like eating chickens. I especially hate chicken wings. It’s too much of a hassle and work just to seperate the meat and the bone.

I do however love KFC because the way their fried chicken’s skin taste is so yum yum. Original or Hot and Crispy. And how does some restaurants such as Don Henricos get such huge chicken wings to cook buffalo style ? They’re reaaaalllllyyyyy huge and is so meaty so I wouldn’t mind it either. Just hope that it’s not one of those injected mutating chickens.

As most of my friends know, I’m back to studying in DLSU to pursue my Masters in Business Administration. Surely enough, my first class started last May 28.

And then A(H1N1) or Swine Flu kinda decided to go to DLSU too I guess.

So here I am back to vacation (but I still got work) along with thousands of Lasallians.

But since the professor already gave us groupings for our Management Principles class and our group is going to be the first to present, we got two weeks to prepare. Gonna go to a meeting later on and I haven’t read a single chapter of our textbook.

Have I mentioned before on how much my life revolves around cramming and how I just love to cram ?

So yeah here I am in the office… procrastinating while I read some chapters before my groupmates decide to brand me as the useless one.

Oh and for those CSB students complaining that they should have 10 days break too, yeah I heard you guys got hit too. LOL. Congrats I guess.

Stay healthy guys.

When did blogging suddenly become about the money instead of the thoughts ?

When did blogging become a sort of advertising ?

What happened to the old school blogging on personal nonesense and bullshit on whatever your thoughts come up with with no regards at all to hOwEvEr wAy YoU wAnNa tYpE yoUR bLoG ?

No matter how ‘jologs’ or stupid those bloggers are, you have to admit, they do entertain you in their own way. From how they enjoy sitting beside this hot looking dude in the jeepney, to what they think about their maid who doesn’t know how to cook that came from Capiz.

Of course there are those who writes pretty well and puts exaggerated bullshits in their stories for you to think that they had such an interesting adventure. From sharing their problems they have with their families, to the trips they enjoyed with their barkada last Christmas.

Nah. We rarely see those kind of blogs anymore. Right now all we get are these so called ‘bloggers’ who update their blogs 4-5x per week making reviews of some foot powder they’ve been using on their faces. Or the ones where they visit Aling Maming’s carinderia to show you the menu of goat dishes and tell you how orgasmic they taste.

It’s like watching television that’s full of commercials with no real program at all.

And I’m the one being told to have a serious blog. Blogs are supposed to be serious ? I never got the memo.

I do understand where some of these are coming from. Hey if you do have an interesting blog and do get traffic, advertisers pay you to put their silly ass stamps on your blog site. You even get free passes to photoshoots and events and parties and orgies and shits.

I dunno man. I just kinda feel bad for some people. Blogging used to be about wanting to write something. Nowadays, it’s more of needing to write something.

P.S. This entry is just about my thoughts. Please don’t get mad.

I’d say that last week was a fun and awesome week. Had plenty of surprises and whatnots.

The fun started off of course with the Shadow Circle EB on Wednesday at Gerry’s Grill Promenade branch.

I’m too lazy to name all of them but yeah that’s a mix of old SC-RO as well as new SC-WoW.

So back to the topic…

I met our guildmate “Malambing” last week prior to the EB. And have been chatting with her for a while. She’s a blogger and Plurker and all the internet whatevers too. I immediately thought that she’s familiar but I just couldn’t remember when/how/what I know about her.

Then it hit me.

Her blog’s HeaRty’s Haven.

Waitaminute…

HeaRty ??? lol HeaRty from IRC way way way way back during the first few years of dial up internet and ICQ ?

Dang ! Yep she’s HeaRty alright. I’ve known her way back around 1996~ or so. LOL.

Well the week’s not done yet.

As most of my friends know, my parents are way too desperate to get me a gf. If you don’t know all the crazy LOL stories I have before… well sucks for you.

This one would be another memorable LOL experience as well. I’d say a good kind of LOL for a change.

Well this past Sunday, my dad set me up with his mahjong-buddy’s daughter. He told me she’s my age. So I thought to myself… uh-oh, high chance of this being someone I know.

Sunday.

We met. We waved at each other. And laughed.

LOL.
