Risk of Expectations

“This is just for the trip. Really. After this, let us part our ways and just think that what has just happened is part of a dream.” Seems easy to say. What if after sleeping together the other party could not get over it and would treasure the moment when you were together? Is that something to be proud of or is it something to be scared?

On the Second Day

“Bloggers are not writers.” My visitor reiterated what he just heard from the movie we’re watching last night. “I heard that.” I said. I looked at him and I just could see his face grinning as if to mock me. Yeah I am a blogger and he is too, or at least he was. “He doesn’t have the credibility to say that. He’s a scientist and not a writer.” I told him.

Crazy, Stupid Love

“Full moon ba ngayon at tila maalon ang karagatan.” That was last week. When I look up at the sky, I saw no full moon, only nearly full. That was kind of a relief since most people I know that week seemed to be crazy and stupid about love. Some were nearly falling out, some were avoiding falling in, while some were going at it just for the heck of it. As for me, well I guess I always try to be on top (pun intended) of it.

astig sa astig - negotiation

opposite pole attract while similar ones repel. that's basic physics and probably we are all aware of that. but is it applicable to humans that have the complexity of behavior depending on the stimulus presented to them? do humans have the propensity to react simply in black and white just like any matter does?

astig sa astig - seduction

ang astig ay dapat malakas ang loob sa pagsabi, pagpapakita o pang-akit na gusto niya ang isang tao. di siya nahihiya o natatakot sa posibleng kahihiyan na idudulot ng kanyang kapangahasan dahilan sa alam niya kung paano itatrato ang ganoong sitwasyon, at higit sa lahat, ang astig ay laging nakahanda sa mga ibubunga ng kanyang mga ikinikilos o ginagawa.

Kaibigan

Araw-araw nandoon ang temtasyon. Palagay na natin wala namang mawawala. Palagay na natin na bawat isa ay alam na kahit gawin namin iyun ay wala rin namang magagalit kasi bawat isa alam ang bawat pagkatao. Maharot, mapusok, at mapagbigay.

Extra! Extra!

Been a while. Yes, and many are already curious how I have been or what is new with my trippings. Others even speculated that my relationship is on the rocks. Well, for the information of both my friends and detractors, all’s well with the Tripper. It has to be. It’s just that I am too busy and (not just “or”) too lazy to blog but... not today. Hehehe.

Early Retirement

I guess everyone thinks that having a “body to die for” is very advantageous to get the nicest cut if not the best in the meat market. Well, that’s true. Only people who are in denial would disagree to that. Perhaps this is the reason why many in the PLU world desire to achieve that kind of physique.

Allegory of the Sugarcane

“Master, talk to us about romance“. He asked. “I could not talk about something that I’m not, my apprentice. Haven’t you heard? I am tagged with a moniker ‘man of stone’.” I replied. “But Master, how could you survive a long relationship if you are not romantic?” He asked again. “My Apprentice, romance does not make a relationship.” I said. “Can you please elaborate on that, Master?” The apprentice requested.

Review: Masikip sa Tatlo

Giving an ounce of chance for a turn of event, no matter how impossible to the average person, is real.

Three is a crowd. This is a rule that is often observed when a third wheel or person suddenly comes into the picture. A joke it may be considered but it has become an observation that the third party is always the source of conflict of an existing relationship. However, with today’s sexual liberation this is becoming a cliché for more and more people are slowly considering the idea of experiencing it.

A Case of Love and Priority

We always translate our actions in the context of the society or with the people around us. We think of the norms, mores, and laws. From here we derive our concept of what is wrong and what is right. Everytime we act, we put it against these standards. As a result, we failed to examine what and how we really feel, denying ourselves of what should and must be at our personal perspective. If we feel love, then love. It doesn’t matter how other people interpret it. What does matter is you have given yourself the freedom of loving someone even if it is socially unacceptable.

State of Jealousy

tanong ko sa isang napakaseloso na tao, "ano ang mahihita mo sa kaseselos mo?" di sumagot dahil alam niyang wala.

“Would you allow your partner to have sex with him?” James asked me during a drinking session with my partner around and two other friends who he has just met. I am not surprised with his question and the idea accompanying it because I knew his frankness well. On the other hand, I was observing the other two witnesses on how they would react. Fortunately, I could not see any reaction from their faces, or they just know how to conceal it.

Allegory of the Rabbit Snake

Honesty is the best policy if served at the right time.

“Master, talk to us about honesty.” He asked. “I could not talk about honesty my young apprentice. ” I replied. “But why master? Men who have met you admire your forthrightness. Sure it does not insult but rather enlightens.” He insisted. “My apprentice, not everyone that hears listens.” I calmly said. “But master…”

The Nerve

If there’s this person who wants to meet us, give him credit for that for he is one brave soul.

"The nerve". That is all you can say when you finally meet the person whom you have been communicating with on an online social network if he or she doesn’t fit the picture that he or she posted on the website. Consequently, the next best thing you should do is walk-out. Is that what you did?

Intensiyon

Alam niya ang iyung pananaw ukol sa seks.  Walang bahid ng emosyon.  Walang namumuong koneksiyon.

Wala ka pang tulog dahil sa mga pangyayari kagabi.  Mainit at mapusok ang mga nilalang sa maliit na ispasyo ng apartment ninyo.  Kabi-kabila may nakalatag na pagkain at ikaw lang ang hinihintay kung alin ang susunggaban.  Ikaw man ay ilang beses din na sinubukang lamunin.  Nagpaunlak ka dahil alam mo walang mawawala sa iyo at sa mga taong nakapaligid sa iyo.

Touch

Touching is one reassuring gesture that would tell one that everything is all right.

Each one of us has our way of conveying our minds and this does not exclude our way of expressing our apology to someone dear to us. The easiest way would be the words “I am sorry.” However, sometimes “sorry” is not just enough because sometimes the sincerity of words simply could not eliminate the resentment of one to another. Hence, we seek for other means.

Jealousy vs. Envy

“Envy typically involves two people, and jealousy typically involves three people.”

I did not expect that last Sunday would become a day of realization.  It is suppose to be an ordinary day but there were two significant occurrences that gave light to one issue that most people in relationship have experienced.  The resolution to the issue is feeble if only couples would take time to examine carefully the nature of causality.

Meet My Mom

The one who marketed her son as a sexual being, claiming that her son has a large dick, won the searcher’s choice.

Sometimes we need other people to bridge us with someone we cherish. They would speak for us and sometimes they would even stand as our replacement in a date. They serve as our spokespersons, mediators, pimps, or simply speaking, our bridges. Their role is to get information about them, build credits, and subsequently to sell us. In short, we need them to get our apple of the eye.
