This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

I recently started dating someone. He is handsome and funny and smart and successful and sweet and considerate and quirky and incredibly, incredibly [did I say, incredibly?] sexy. Just the thought of him right now sends a tingling sensation up my spine (yes, he is that good). All of that should be a good thing but quite frankly it scares the Hell out of me.
“‘Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come.” ~Lord Byron
A little about me... so that this all makes sense: By nature, I follow my gut reactions. I dive right in. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And because of that, my heart has been broken several times because I don’t take things slow. I trust that when someone says they love me that they mean that the same way I do. I think what is said is what is felt and what is felt, if it be honestly felt, will be felt forever.
“Before I met my husband, I’d never fallen in love. I’d stepped in it a few times.” ~Rita Rudner
So along comes this guy who I had known just few weeks? [I was somehow attached back then, so we were just friends]. We met at a party/night out and he called me the next day to see if we could get together again. He's way too far from being serious [I think] nevertheless, I gave in. We went out few days later on a date that I wasn’t even sure was a date at first.
Until, that is, we kissed.
“Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.” ~Zora Neale Hurston
And that is when I got scared. Not that I haven’t kissed anyone after C. Just that I have not felt that way about a kiss from anyone again [actually, even before that but that is a whole ‘nother story].
“Love is the poetry of the senses.” ~Honoré de Balzac
To say it took my breath away would be an understatement. My immediate reaction was: wait. This is not in my plan. This will be complicated. I could get my heart broken.
My next reaction was: don’t stop.
My relationships before this one have had one single thing in common: me loving men incapable of loving anyone but themselves. I fall for that guy in the middle of the circle of people at a party meant to jest a goody-goody party. The guy who laughs easily and knows exactly what to say and when to say it. I am attracted to charm. Unfortunately, the men I have found thus far have been all charm, and very little substance [bitter].
So - with my mended heart still planted right there on my sleeve - I dived in once again.
Hoping this time I fall softly, and stick the landing.

Binge-ing has long been my problem. And what to be expected of course is that disgusting feeling every time you hit the weighing scale. When my Ate was still pregnant, we laughed at the thought that we're gaining weight because we can afford to. Few months passed and she had already given birth. And now she's starting to lose those calories, what's left is ME struggling to be the same. I feel so conscious everytime I can't wear my clothes anymore. I need to lose weight now! I have to!
Big news -- obesity is the health crisis du jour, as evidenced by the recent flurry of headlines. What's the latest advice for those combatants in the battle of the bulge? Instead of counting carbs and calories, try nibbling flaky croissants and foie gras. Yes, according to lore and a new bestseller, if you really want to kiss your flab goodbye, take a lesson from the French. They don't diet, and they don't spend hours at the gym. So what's their secret? They eat for pleasure, savoring every bite. Now, that's some news we can really sink our teeth into!

So, you know how Oprah did a segment on The Secret?
Okay, maybe you didn't know that. Maybe you don't watch Oprah. I mean, I don't even watch Oprah all that often. I'm just getting off at work when it comes on and religiously programming it just seems kind of...well, lame.
The thing is, this whole business about positive thinking...well, when you have a negative thought creep in [i.e. this morning when you're still groggy with sleep and it's another Monday morning and all you can think is, "Is this my life?"] it's easy to see how that snowballs.
The woman who sits next to me inside the FX is extremely negative. I don't wish to listen but she talked too loud for everyone to cover their ears.
It's kind of annoying.
I hate it when someone's such a Debbie Downer.
Why can't people just suck it up, you know? Just get on with your life, instead of whining ad nauseum about it all the time. I mean, you're just asking to be punched in the face at that point.
I also find it annoying when people refuse to try things, but feel like it's perfectly okay to bitch and moan about it. Like, how do you know something sucks until you've at least tried it out first, you know?
God.
People are so fucking stupid sometimes.
Like this one person whose name popped out again, who for some unexplainable reasons enjoys bitching and shitting around.
Hello! It's common courtesy to at least realize how your friends been good to you, and that they have your secrets so give them a head's up at the very least. Like, what the hell? Were you raised by a pack of animals in the wild or something?
I hate Rien Adducul, I'm supposed to just forget about her and forgive her but her shittiness still roams like venom, ready to wear out anyone.
And well, there I got again with the bitching and moaning.
I swear to God I'm not this tedious in real life.

Life these times as they say is worth all the trouble. Even if there is a greater world that awaits us beyond this polluted planet, still living on Earth is a blast. I don't mean to be a wordly creature [don't get me wrong Lord God], I just want to be thankful.
Gosh... my mood swings are terribly swinging... *heheheh. Out of sorts. Last week, it was off. But now, I sort of like my life again. That's how life goes! And that's me maybe.
I'm just thankful that once in awhile, when the drama queen inside me would vent and cry out loud, there are friends who would keep me sane and struggle with me.
Despite my paranoia and my obsessive-compulsive behavior, I still feel loved. I am thankful to God for giving me people who can put up with my tantrums, who can live up with my nagging... etcetera, etcetera.
Once in a while we feel down and depressed. I for once thought I have manic depression. Somehow, I thought it's just our angels knocking our hearts to see that we have someone to run to. It can be directly God, but sometimes he'd send someone to make our frustrations bearable. Someone who would make us feel safe, someone who would make us feel beautiful, someone who would make us feel worth all the trouble.
And that is why LIFE is worth all the trouble. Because there's God. Because he sends angels that would carry us when we're about to fall the shit hole of life.

> in BED with JC
Author: aLmich
I thought I'd be having a boring Saturday night. After the gimik with my new friends [myah, gretch, ryan, sir knowel and the newest - Jc], I woke up with a serious hang-over and a series of shaking and perspiring moment. The night's ka-booze plus the fact that I haven't slept for almost 2 days drops my knees. I opened my eyes and saw that I was inside my room and my head cracking and pounding like crazy. Suddenly, the party we had came flashing back. Actually, I was having second thoughts of going to Jarvis' birthday party, number one because my work ends around 12 and that the party starts at 4. Second, I have nothing to wear and third, I'm so tired to party and I would just like to doze and slumber on my bed the whole day. But I have to go because that's Diana, one of our ka-buenas.
And so I found myself, giggling and enjoying the night after the birthday party. I have not been going out for quite sometime. I suddenly bacame a stranger there. Malate crowd didn't change that much but I felt I really missed it. After Giligan's drinking session, the BED party was a blast. I somehow felt strange and alone but Jc made sure we'll enjoy the night. And for that, salamat! *hehehe I know the post' title will be gathering some raised brows but I don't care, try to get a life!

Sometimes my worrying worries me... see?! Like when I ride the bus, whenever someone hides his hands in his jacket, it gives me the feeling that he has a gun or a knife. I even thought I saw someone pick-pocketing someone. Either that or I'm delusional!
There are more to that story, which at some point is an advantage because I'm vigilant and alert. But it causes me a great deal of trouble. I worry riding buses along EDSA, I don't ride "bulok", "mahinang ilaw" taxi cab, I don't ride tinted FX, I don't ride jeepneys which have small windows and goon-looking men... and the list goes on and on.
This "worrying thing" or it may come close to paranoia- is also affecting my personal relationship with other people and with myself. I worry about my future, I worry about my family if their safe, I worry if my friends are safe and if they are really "true" friends, I worry if my boyfriend is loyal to me or not... I worry about anything under the sun.
Right now, I'm worrying because I'm happily inlove. It has never been like this before, trust me! Life hasn't been to good to me in this aspect of life. But now that it seems like I have found the right one, I am worrying again... worrying that tomorrow it's a different story. Though
I trust the guy [as in I really do] this monster lurking inside my brain is slowly killing me.
I don't want to be afraid of riding the bus, jeep, or taxi. I don't want to live afraid that my loved ones are not safe. I don't want to constantly think if I turned off the gas or if I pulled the plug of the tv. I dont want to be afraid of loving too much, I don't want to worry about losing him.
I just want to live in peace.
Whew! Fidgety
ME.Good thing of course that we still have things in life that could somehow break this monotonous way of living. Yesterday, I went out to attend Diana's Jarvis' birthday. It was so cool and I really enjoyed it. Gretch, Myah, Ryan and Jc kept me company. The good day didn't just end there. Soon we headed to Giligans Makati with Sir Knowel joining us. After couple of drinks, Ryan left for he has previous commitment to attend to, Jc followed through. The remaining group then continued the night over a cup of coffee at Starbucks Adriatico. After a while, Jc rejoined us to a bar - BED. Imagine what perspired? that I'll leave to your imaginations *hehehe.
And ooppsss.. Here's some.
