You know what, I should stop. I shouldn't even entertain this idea. I'm probably just bored not obsessing or pining on anyone.
Either that, or this is hormonal. It's the time of the month.

Hay naku. I'm beginning to like this guy, and it seems he's not interested naman. He's so irritatingly cute when we banter.
Kainis.

Since the year started, we were forced to seat alphabetically - ok, not really, but I seat beside two guys who are also fifth in their groups. John's on my left, Jason on the right.
Now Jason's a foreign student, and he usually ignores me and prefers to tinker with his PDA instead. One time he even brought a keyboard, and typed away like crazy oblivious to everyone. John's the exact opposite - he always has wiseass comments on everything and seems to have "talk to Michelle" high in his to-do list.
And you know me, I'm really psycho. So I like John better than Jason. Besides, as June pointed out once, my PDA will look pathetic alongside his. His is a techie heaven - not surprising, I mean, hey, he gave MM (his girlfriend) a stethoscope, for crying out loud.
This afternoon though, John and I moved from casual small talks to interesting banters. Geez, the guy's a loon. Good sign, at least boredom during lectures is something I don't have to fear. He's I guess getting so comfortable with me he even asked me offhand if I ever had UTI. Yes, as in urinary tract infection.
And no. He's not a perv - we're studying urology this month. His best hirit: buong hapon na lang puro penis and testis nadidinig ko!
Oh, and Dr. Prodigalidad lectured this afternoon. What a cutie. He's an Atenean - and he speaks like one, ~5'4", and well, maangas. I like him. :) When he, I presume, accidentally said "oh shit" and "what the hell is this guy talking about?", Gigi commented that there, those words made me fall in-love with him even more. Damn, the girl knows me so well.
What she didn't know was, it was the (pertaining to the penile embryo)"it looks awful, sure, but as we grow old, we start to long for awful things" comment which did it. :)
He's adorable. Too bad he's married.

How childish can Ryan get?
This morning, I was with Charmaine, and I saw him walking towards my direction. When he saw me, he made a quick detour. What the f*ck?

How to survive a breakup
LIVING ALIVE
by Dero Pedero
Publish Date: [Sunday, June 30, 2002]
You’ve just been dumped. The one who you thought would bring eternal music and roses to your life just said goodbye. Of course, you are devastated and feel like you’ve been downtrodden, used and violated. That’s but natural. That’s your self-preservation instinct working for you. Before you start to wallow in self-pity, read on and take charge of your life.
Life doesn’t end because there is one fellow less in your life. Think of him/her as (like that once popular song recommends) "one less bell to answer, one less egg to fry." There are thousands of fish in the ocean. And many are better looking and more colorful (even richer!) than the one that got away. So, dear get a hold of yourself and:
• Thank your lucky stars, the dummy is out of your life. Good you found out early enough that he/she is not the one for you. Can you imagine what a fiasco it would have been had you gotten married to each other then he/she dropped you? Don’t say "Goodbye"; instead, say "Good riddance!"
(Yeah, like what Roy said, breaking up with Rhome was a blessing per se. He's the exact opposite of the kind of man I want to end up with.)
• Take care of number one. Take care of yourself. Don’t give the guy/girl importance that he/she doesn’t deserve. Get sleep, eat well, and pamper yourself. Look good, lose weight, and learn new things. Improve your life!
(I will lose weight. Promise.)
• Get busy. Keep your mind away from memories of him/her. Get involved in activities that involve you totally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Instead of feeling low and dejected, use your time to be productive. Try helping someone in need.
• Enjoy your newfound freedom. Freedom is an exhilarating gift. Take solo walks; take time to enjoy the golden sun and blue skies. Remember that you were born alone and you are gonna go alone (unless you were born with a Siamese twin!). Go out and meet exciting, new people!
• Find out the true reasons why he/she called it quits. There once was a guy who was perplexed to the point of insanity when his wife suddenly turned cold and emotionless overnight. He later found out that she was having a same-sex affair. Find out the true reason why your boyfriend/girlfriend opted to say goodbye. He/she may be gay, for all you know. Different strokes for different folks! Consider all other reasons, too.
(He has a new girlfriend, but Roy thinks he's just out to prove something. And well, didn't I always suspect he was gay?)
• Think of the top three things you hated about him/her. Yes, think of the top three things you hated about him/her. It could be that he/she was always late, was inconsiderate. Maybe he/she had bad breath. Whatever the reasons are, be happy you won’t have to suffer through all those ever again.
(1. He laughs like a fish vendor 2. He has a distinct personal style - in short, fashion victim from the womb 3. Sobrang kuripot)
• Realize that when God closes a door, He opens a thousand new windows. Yes, the universe is full of infinite possibilities. But how can you avail of these marvelous opportunities when you are still hanging on to ghost memories of your past relationship’ Break free and open the thousand doors before you. At this point, literally, the world can be yours!
• Get someone new. If you feel like you need someone to complete your life, look for somebody new. The only way to fill a vacuum is to fill it with something else or someone new. Look forward to meeting that special someone who will mean much more to you and bring greater magic into your life.
(Yeah, my due. Hope he comes into my life soon.)
• Accept that it’s the way it is supposed to be. In the universe, there are no mistakes. Everything is just the way it’s supposed to be. If the relationship didn’t work, look for a relationship that will. Acceptance is the starting point of moving on.
• Realize that living well is the best revenge. Thinking of revenge’ Forget it. You’ll just be energizing him/her and feeding his/her ego. Don’t get mad; get the best for yourself instead. You deserve to be happy – to get the very finest in life. Go for the best and ensure your own happiness!
(No point plotting revenge. Sayang lang the energy. I agree, I'll get the best for myself instead."
• Know that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it. Don’t let unpleasant events in your life take the better of you. Realize that these are all external occurrences. How you let yourself be affected within, determines whether you’ll end up a loser or emerge as the winner. Take control of your life. You will have to make choices and decisions. Bear in mind that life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.
• Pray. Ask for divine guidance to be able to forgive whatever is unforgivable; ask for clarity to be able to understand what is incomprehensible. Pray for strength to endure these tests we are constantly faced with. Especially these silly and strange but unavoidable games that people play. * * *

Rock-bottom. Everything in my life is.
I know this sounds pathetic, but lately, I've been thinking: if only I'll lose weight, everything else will fall into place.

- texted by my friend
Mahal has a boyfriend. Yeah, as in boob-tube Mahal, The midget.
Lucky her.
