My summer romance ended as fast as it started! In exactly 7 days, I was elated, I was in love, and I got my heart broken. To say the least, I had been PLAYED by a 17 year old guy. I guess you can't really expect him to date a 26 year old guy like me. I am fine with that. I can live with the fact that there will be guys who will not want me, or will not take me for the way that I am. The thing that hurts the most about this 7 day whirlwind of a romance is that I was lead on to believe that there was something, when there was absolutely nothing. I HATE that.
I will live. I have been hurt before, but like all wounds this will take some time. I hate the fact that I always fall so fast, but I guess that's just the way that I am.
It's a good thing that I am Filipino, I have a lot of sad love songs to choose from.
Two days ago, I visited my friends at the airport and I met this 16 year old boy who was going to turn 17 on July 25th - he was the guy who dissed me.
Well, here goes the story...
I was talking to my friend who I haven't seen in a while and the kid walks by and sees me. When I left to say hi to my other friends who were working at Starbucks, he kept asking my friend Regie stuff about me. Obviously, my friend did not leave out the information that I play for the other team. The kid was apparently elated. When I came back to talk to Regie, the kid was talking to me and telling my that it would be his birthday the next day and that he would like someone to buy him a cake and flowers. I thought he was joking, so I kind of brushed it off and went with Regie to have a smoke. While having a smoke outside, something in me wanted to buy the kid a rose. Long story short, I did buy the kid a pink rose. At first I didn't know how to give it as I have never given a rose to another guy before. But, through peer pressure from Regie and Toni, I ended up giving the kid a rose. It was NICE seeing the kid smile from surprise and delight. So, I got my flirt on and stayed at the store the kid was working at pretending that I was there to talk to Regie. In the end, the kid gave me his facebook. Well played, I thought to myself.
Apparently, I misread the signs, or I mistook kindness and politeness for flirting back. I got a call today and Regie told me that Daniela, the kid's friend told her that the kid DOES NOT like me at all, not one bit. I was kind of just laughing on the other end of the line. But, I think that deep inside, I was actually crushed. I have put my love live in the back seat for a VERY LONG time, and now that I actually decided to take a chance, I got dissed. REALLY SAD!
Maybe it's just not the right time for me...maybe, I should just wait...maybe I am just meant to be SINGLE.
This incident makes me qusetion myself, "Am I the JUST FRIENDS type?"
Well, I was just hanging out yesterday and I should say that it was very productive. Now, I have three new crushes, and I think that I am going through my Asian phase again coz all three of them are Asian. I was totally getting my flirt on yesterday. So, check them out and see who I should go out with. In all honesty, I think I am in love with one of them.
January must have been the busiest month of thie year so far. I had to help organize and plan the wedding of one of my closest friends, Julie Ann.
After a year of dating, Antoni (Antek as he is fondly called), Julie Ann decided to get married - she was pregnant after all. I just have to say that their relationship was not at all like a fairytale. Antek looked like a prince though. Anyways, we were all doubtful of Antek's real intentions of marrying Julie Ann. We were all worried that he was just marrying Julie Ann for the sake of getting Canadian citizenship. Well, both Julie Ann and Antek weathered the storm and they did continue with the wedding. In front of God, their family, and friends, they vowed to love each other for the rest of their lives - in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do they part.
Above is the picture of my friend Julie Ann and her GORGEOUS husband Antek on their wedding day. I would like to know who would want to screw the hot Polak groom, so please answer the poll question below. When you are making the decision, please keep in mind that Antek has a great body (he's into wrestling), and as per Julie Ann, he is GIFTED down there.
Anyways, we're almost into August and they are still together and they now have a beautiful baby girl. I guess we really shouldn't judge those people who get married. Love is the most powerful thing in the world after all.
Well, for those of you who weren't at the wedding above is a video of the highlights of the wedding made by Marcin.
In this day and age, where marriage seems to be overrated, do you still believe in marriage?
Well...below is what my wedding cake topper would look like. That is if I ever get married.
*Well, that's the first of the many updates that I need to blog about so keep checking in.
After a VERY LONG absence from blogging, I think I am ready to say that I am BACK. I have to say that I really missed blogging. Although it kept me up until the unholy hours of the night, blogging was very satisfying to me; it was and it still is a form of release for me - an outlet for my angst and all the other emotions that run through me.
There have been interesting changes in my life that started July 1st of this year...so keep checking in and you wil be updated with my so called life.
well, i am, yet another person who wants my opinions to be heard in the form of a blah-g. in 2000, i moved here with my family, in search of a better life. i guess, now i can say that i am part filipino and part canadian. read my blah-g and see how i am trying to mesh my filipino and canadian ways.
why jepoy bote?
well, people might ask why or how i came up with the name jepoy bote. so, here it goes the explanation.
jepoy -- the name jepoy came from my childhood days when KA PEPE would always call me jepoy whenever he sees me. i guess he came up with it because he can't pronounce my second name, jefferson. come to think of it, i came to embrace and like the name jepoy as it feels very filipino.
bote -- bote came a little late in my life. it was in high school when the name bote was coined. thanks to GINANG ESCORIAL (my favorite teacher in high school; she was my teacher for all four years of high school). bote came from my last name, bautista. like jepoy, i came around and loved the last name bote as it feels very "maka-masa"...some of my friends might say that bote is apt, if they recall my alcoholic days (thank god i never got to the point where i have to attend AA metings).
why "the boy who lived"?
so, why did i call my blah-g the boy who lived?
apart from the fact that i am a big harry potter fan...okay, ADDICT. like harry, i have a scar on my forehead. a scar from a near death experience that i had when i was about 4 years old. nope, i wasn't cursed by he who shall not be named! i was simply running inside the house to get the first fish that i caught, and show it to my great grandmother. unfortunately, i took an ugly turn and accidentally smashed my head into a sharp corner (where the ends of two solid stone walls meet). of course, i passed out and the next thing i knew i was plastered all over my head and all i have to remember that day by is the scar of my forehead.
who knows...i might just as well be a horcrux for the "dark lord"...anyone thinking damien (from the movie OMEN)?
