5. Raffy

There are people that you meet in life that you instantly make absolutes of. When I first met Raffy -- I had known him as a schoolmate but it was only in my junior year of high school that we ended up classmates -- I was as sure as Taylor Swift. "I will never ever ever ever be attracted to him. Ever."

(Can't you just tell how badly I'm going ( Read more... )

4. King Raymond, Part II

I'm starting to think that the best, most romantic moments only catch you once you've surrendered all your faulty expectations.

It happened one December evening. King Raymond and I were talking on the phone when he said it. There were small circumstances that forced him to say it (a single wrong text, actually) but they were ( Read more... )

3. Marcus Marx

(I really like the name Marcus -- I guess because it reminds me of Megan Mc Cafferty's Marcus Flutie -- but just so we're clear: this guy was not, is not and will never be the Marcus to my Jessica.)

I was pretty pissed off by my heart's propensity to fall in love with boys so easily -- having been raised in an all-girls institution -- ( Read more... )

2. King Raymond Pt. 1

('King Raymond' is actually a face I make that is a cross between a gorilla and Johnny Bravo. It's not attractive. But that's not why I named #2 King Raymond. This boy is going to come up a lot in the course of this list and I figured that it'd be best to stick with a monicker that'd make me laugh -- especially when I start ( Read more... )

Inspired by E. Lockhart's "The Boyfriend List", I've decided to make a mini rundown of all the guys I've dated, almost dated, should've dated and dreamed of dating. Hidden behind (what I'd like to think are) clever pseudonyms, I consider this entry to be, more than anything else, a commemorative piece ( Read more... )

I feel like everybody sucks and I just want to get away.

I remember one of the songs I learned in My Masterpiece: "It's time to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye, hope to see you soon my friend..." It goes on and on until all the kids leave the room and the teachers fall into a pile in the corner, exhausted ( Read more... )

My good friend, Ivan, said this to me via Facebook: "don't be too awesome, guys get intimated by too much awesomeness."

So there is something inherently wrong with me being me and I'm supposed to dumb myself down just to attract someone of the opposite sex?

No thank you.And I don't want to rant or start a debate but there is just something very ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning and realized that there are so many choices I made that I absolutely hate.

The last time I wrote here was... a few months back. I wanted LJ to be my post-breakup buddy but the moving on part, surprisingly, wasn't as awful as people had promised it would be. Expecting the worst always helps, haha. Anyway, I think this post is a culmination of everything. I guess I'm doing this for closure's sake ( Read more... )
