SUMMER CAPITAL EB 2012

Think of the cold crisp air, in the midst of a hot humid weather. Then the spell of green pines filling your nostril. You holding this glass of red wine to dispel the chilly winds giving you the bites. Inside the cabin, you carefully watch the flaming ballerinas dancing and teasing inside the fireplace. About you are friends wrapped up with mufflers swirled around their necks. These sweatshirts/sweaters hogging their bodies, their guards against the icy weather. But you don't hear them complaining because they have become these chatterboxes, in non-stop and alternating giggles and laughs.
You recognize RAQUEL, with her seductive eyes, dreaming away while her tongue licks the rim of the champagne glass filled half-way. Suddenly you hear, MINDY, blurting out her sultry voice, but you can hear within distance she is saying, "Dahlen I miss you so much!" Wond'ring who was on the phone or could she be talking to Elz. Here comes bombshell THETA, coming from the kitchen with this bowl full of nuts and cornbits. She was so good bringing them all the way from San Miguel, Bulacan. You saw bouncy JING, almost tripped and her hair has gone astray, having to avoid totally slipping unto the floor. Everybody with a good smile because she was more worried her hair out of place, than her back breaking. Mother Hubbard in the person of JANE is busy with Mother Goose CAT at the kitchen trying to concoct the dips and the sauces for the chips and cracklings, bought earlier from the grocery. Here comes angelic-faced MAY knocking at the door and soon joining the group and bringing in a basket of strawberries, oranges and grapes, grown from the mountains of Sagada. How sweet and kind of her! Not to be forgotten is TINKS rushing from the bedroom shrieking, saying somebody pulled her foot, while she was napping. Now, was that a ghost or was someone making a prank to scare away these ladies? Ka Bert would love to have been that ghost!
Now you can all see, how the Summer Capital EB 2012 is most likely happening. For sure the scenes you've read could be indeed those happy notes. Now, aren't you envious for not joining in?
Some innuendos to capture everyone's attention and this extend of invite for the upcoming EB, we are planning at Baguio City. We are scheduling it "April 10-11 (Tuesday/Wednesday)". It's the week after Holy Week. So those working, file your leave of absence for those dates.
Anymore who wish to add? Or is anyone bringing her date with her? I believe that will be more fun and exciting! We have men with us!

Not a Hypocrite! Certainly Not...
|

Everyone has had her bit of share in greetings and conveying it's the happy heart's day soon. Thought I wouldn't need to do it, but am not a hypocrite and certainly not someone who could be dense or pretending to admit, LOVE IS ALL ABOUT ME. It's me and my name here. So....
TO THE PRESENT PERSON....
I know you wanted as much to say, you and I could be together for that one special dream of celebrating with me, come heart's day. Know, that I would have loved the idea as well. But distance and time will not allow that for now. You remain in my thoughts and I know know you have me in your heart. That is something we can both look forward to, even when it's not Valentine's Day. I will miss you though!
TO THE PAST PERSON...
For the many years, Valentine's Day had passed us, I have come to realized the truth in not celebrating it with you, is because there was never a good reason to celebrate it with me. I could have instead celebrated it alone, for the one-way love affair I didn't know I was having. But nonetheless, the experience of knowing I was loved despite seeing it blindly and differently, these could be enough to say to you, on Valentine's day...that, there will be this one day when you can accept there is such a thing as a "true and sincere love" and there is also such a "true and sincere person," who once gave that to you. Sad, that you chose to say, what I love to hear and read from you, to someone else. And sadder it is, I can no longer say what you usually read and hear me say to you. All the best!

Celebrating Pre-Valentine's Day with Friends

I went with my daughter Sarah to Cat's place in Molino, Cavite, yesterday, 11 February 2012. There were many firsts that day for me. It was one time that I celebrated Pre-Valentine's Party with bestest buddies, but this time, sans a "special friend" you can call. I finished a whole bottle of red wine for the first time. Also, for the first time, I was commuting to the place and traversing along coastal road. Going home, we were dropped by along Baclaran Church by David and Elena. It was again my first time to buy some trinkets and bric-a-brac at Baclaran's night market. Sarah also enjoyed buying some stuffs for herself. Again, it was also my first time to ride an air-con passenger bus going home to Novaliches.
Picture shows from left to right, Rut with wife Anabelle, Elena and David, Cat and Mandy. Except for Anabelle who is not a member of FFF, we all met in this site, once upon a time.

Strawberries Anyone for this Baguio EB?
|

I have been considering this idea of being at Baguio with blog-friends, who could come and join me, for an EB with May aka Aloofa, at the same time, enjoying the Strawberry Festival that should be on-going from February 28 onwards and running for the month of March 2012. Panagbenga is out of the question for now, since planning is rather late at this time.
Also, I was toying on the idea that, we could go up, not on a weekend, but on weekdays, enough for an overnight stay only. We could ask May to find us this overnight accommodation, then just chip-in on the cost, including all other expenses incidental to this EB. It would be a night of tete-a-tete, over bottles of red wine or whatever drinks would be preferable for the joinees and some light snacks or "pulutan" that goes with the drinks. We can probably start-out traveling as early as 6AM to reach Baguio City by lunch. But am suggesting that we commute, not unlesss a gracious host will volunteer to accompany us, using his utility van, if ever. We can enjoy the city after lunch and check on the Strawberry Festival and other sights that we would like to go to. Then the following morning, we still have time to go around until lunch time, when we can start our descent.
I think this manner of once-in-a-while bonding, out of town, will become a good precedent like how I started having the grand EB for all groups, once-upon-a-time. It was one night full of fun and endless laughters, for those who attended the grand EB and everyone started knowing each other, flesh and bones. So, this time we go by with a small group of bloggers, enjoying the company of one another. I am pledging myself and Cat aka chinatree, who used to be a blogger here, making up the core of the group.
Anyone else calling? or anyone suggesting/adding more details to the event?
I just need a good consensus so I know if this EB will click and then we can go ahead and plan it in more specific details.

READY AIM...

"Everyone is a friend, until they prove otherwise."
You met for the first time, seeing each other, the saying became true that on first speech you felt you've been old friends. There was this sudden connection, the bridge closed the gap between two souls. The lightheartedness has brought about this chance for a good laughter and a smile, perhaps nevermore on this air of tears. Because you find yourself skeptical still due to a heartbreak, you try to put on hold everything that will make you say yes, as yet. But, you need him, that's the drive bugging you. You sense he is willing to be there for you. Will you be ready enough to do the plunge? Will you ask for a commitment to make you find that everything will be as good before anything else? Is that what you really need for the moment? Will you be able to fire away again? I know I will meet up a lot of contras and not more of the pros, so let's hear from you all!

To Someone Passing By (I know)

i do not carry this great anger anymore and neither is this advertising anything...but i just need to say...in response to a comment made to me in one of my blogs...
for those long years that you could have had the chance to see the glimmer and the sparkles of what was there, meaning you got blinded or were blinded?....and now saying, all was temporary, everything unplanned, nothing nurtured and this pretext of no 100% commitment...how can you even have the conscience and the temerity, to feign your feelings for those long years?...you are very sly and wily, indeed! so it's not even about your sadness being shaded in, nor i, filling in to find life is still good to you because i was with you and i had perfectly believed you...and again this, impressing upon me and to all, you can live alone, be this rock or island and that family is all you need...i will believe that though because you are one great dramatic actor, deserving a nomination for the oscar...
it was all about pretenses...now, i even felt you were avenging someone who made you so bitter, that's some imbalance...if you really had me masking how bad you really felt with your life then, alone and dejected (this is part of the drama, too, i guess) admitting and saying i made a big difference, and i was there giving you all the support because you needed it truly..then, you will not have made everything as this one big camouflage for a long time (even get away with it for a longer time, had i not discovered it anything)..you know, i could have been there as your best friend, or this sounding board and nothing will have marred our friendship...you only needed to tell me the truth!...you've had your share of hurting me and i, doing the same, so this one time would have stopped us from hurting more today as we would have forgotten all by now...your compassion for me, was never real, i know now...
it's disconcerting to know, everything with you became this big stage to perform at...but neither my person, pride nor honor got violated...something more valuable not from me, but from you, got disintegrated...
like a debris, floating in the waters, the stops you stumble upon and experience, can get murkier and dingier, you're far off from where the water is clear, for that smooth ride...there shouldn't be anymore of those ill intents...you and i are not both young anymore, we shouldn't be faking the coming years will bring us more good chances..
all is water under the bridge now, i may have stumbled upon a rock, but the greater waves will come and carry it, hopefully in a good and safe direction...i can only wish good for that rock, since it taught me to be strong, positive and become this greater achiever, today...i can say i got happy too, when the rock stayed and played with me...
i am truly sad and sorry, things had to be this way...the good reason could be, we were showed we don't deserve each other...it was good while the thoughts lasted!
you need more good luck...and yes, from where i stand...am now smiling!

heart made of stone
steel emotions as bones
alone and safe
lonely but unswayed
what's around won't compel
even with dingy spell
blood had rushed
everything has crashed
tough like this rock
yet feelings will not numb.....
copyright "fantasiamore" 2/4/2012
the best part after getting rid of the anger, you become warm and open to the details that got you fired up, then you simmer little by little, until you can get cold facing reality yet sensitive still...that's the passion i have in my heart...you can go and keep smiling again...

MEN!!

YES, like oldkanaba I love men!!!
I have met many in fact, all kinds, from Filipinos to different foreigners alike, all saying the same thing. That, they want a happy, sincere and loving relationship. That, if I can give them a chance they will do the best they can. That, they have only one love, but I did forget to ask any, if they care for other women, in addition to that one love. Many are intelligent, many are good conversationalist, many are well experienced and yes, many are not telling the truth!
I like to give anyone of them, a true and honest relationship, (which in fact I did three times), but he will not do his end of the bargain, that's the problem. He is fond of promises, fond of luring me into believing what he is saying, and best of all fond of saying he loves me, but did he really mean it? or did he know how to really know what is true love? Do I somehow doubt him? Of course not! I will only believe what he says! But then, here comes the truth after a while or even after a long while, I find him reneging on his promises, giving me many excuses and alibis, giving me the cold treatment and if I go asking why, he changes the topic or his mood, he gets mad, then shows irritation. Speaking up, he says he is only tired, he lacks sleep or that he has too many things in mind. I can only think and say everything in return as a big BS. Why can't he just be honest and say, I fell out of love, I have found another. I am not happy anymore with you. That's the end of the story! Yet, he will not admit any!
These men should remember, the longer they keep everything, the farther they go away from the truth and the more lies they weave, the more difficult and painful it can become for the women. Nothing will ever be kept as hard secrets, they all come out, anyway. So, a simple and honest truth will have made one pain, yes, but this will ease out faster and sooner the healing is done.
Yes, I hope it can really be that simple to love a man!

i know my relationship has been this open book to everyone here..sharing my happy and not so happy times in this blog...i have turned being negative into positive, so am sharing this closure i needed to do, with you all...to put "the end" to the this chapter of my life...and never to speak of it, but accepting and saying "am this past and memory to someone, now"...
"you find everything as happy in your life with and in peace...i will wish that sincerely..am fine and have accepted all as just this bad experience...yes, the good ones i found with you, i will still treasure and keep as happy memories in me, like i've been saying and admitting before...also, it is not true that the fault or mistake you committed will obliterate all the good things you did for me...i am acknowledging that to this day...despite the last few days, that i feel still angry and cursing, my heart has not really changed believing you are a good person and you made me a better person, happy and trusting for the years we've been with each other..until i can find a closure with you like this, i will not move on, i know..so, i will do my one last cry, saying....
thank you and all the best!

WILL THE PAST REALLY TEACH YOU?

there was this statement addressed to me that went, it is not always right to forget the past because tendency is that we aren't able to analyze where we have gone wrong, so we commit the same mistakes again and again..do i find any validity in that statement?...i was thinking, changes in attitudes and behaviors of a person would be rare at such time, when one is past already the adolescence stage..whatever happened in the past relationship is definitely not because of circumstances that happened, but because of the consequence of one's attitudes and behaviors that influenced or brought about the circumstances..if that is indeed the case, no matter how you dissect the mistakes of the past, unless a person changes, it will still be the same mistake carried through to the next...how easy could it be for a person to change at that point in time? i believe, it is going to be too intricate solving that...
