Untitled Reality (Chapter 1)

Dreaming is like breathing to me. Every time I dream, it's like I'm in a new dimension of my own self-made world whom no one can muddle my rules and regulations. It has its own adventures and downfalls, sometimes dramatic but most of the time heroic with me as the main character saving my lovely princess. Full of possibilities and everything we desire, that's how a dream, my dream could be described.

 On how I'm fully active on my dreamland is the exact complete opposite of who really is in the real world. Friends, I have many of those. Rain, Sky and Flint, that's three friends whom I often see when they're using their respective Facebook accounts. I'm an athletic type of person if you may consider playing video games a sport. And I have many girlfriends since the day I'm able to distinguish the difference between male and female characteristics. Oops, do you mean the real ones that we date, treat, kiss and make love? My mistake, don't have any of that Homo sapiens.

 I'm not homophobic. I just can't hook up with what others are into. Righteous deviant is how my society sees me but in shorter archaic terms, I'm the real contrary of the modern-day juvenile.

 For me, everyday isn't something I can cherish except when I'm about to sleep at high noon and night time. Who would want to befriend the kinds of me? The word "fun" only begins when everyone else were in their bed wetting their personal beds.

The grasses in the fields, the shaded trees in the forest and the animals in plains, they don't give a crap on why I was living so the response will be the same

Being an existentialist, I would ask the Supreme Being about all of the things he made using his Almighty powers. Powers that can also resolve the problems we are all facing but he was deaf in the times of my calling. It wasn't all my fault that I was this kind of being and if it was, I doubt someone would still understand the whereabouts of my existence. I'm all thrown up to my invented imaginary kingdom where Harry Potter, Narnians and Greek Demigods do not exist, only the creator: ME. 

 But, who would have thought that the 'me' I had used to be contented with is about to be changed by someone, not even in my dreams, would cross the same old path that I'm taking.

DOTA and Basketball

 One morning while walking off to my next class, there's this group of men talking boldly on the street. I didn't really heard what they were talking but something really important struck me. I look upon on both my sides noticing that I don't have someone accompanying me and most importantly, I don't belong to a peer.
 Ever wonder how male peers on the street, school or even your neighborhood became the group they are today? Not so much to explain but you see, boys, especially the teenagers, can easily befriend someone on the same sex whom they can do the same activities with. And because the real men can communicate well through muscles and actions, such activities that use much of it are their best assets on establishing masculine peer groups.

 Out of all the activities that attract them, to prominent ones rise above all: DOTA All Stars, a widely played multi-player pc game and; Basketball, who doesn't really know anything about this sport, for real.
 Through my remembering, the DOTA game started some years back when I'm still in high school. Maybe, it's second year or rather third year. This game was only supposed to be a map made by some programmer on the commercially-successful pc game named Warcraft created by Blizzrad Entertainment. The catch here was, the map itself doesn't only bring back the excitement on playing the said game but gave a new level of gaming experience. Maxing  up to 10 players, each choose your preferred character or the so-called 'hero' and battle your heart out using items and weapons, different skills and combat strategies. It's like those imaginative games we play when we were still kids, except that our imaginations are portrayed by the computer.

 So basketball, who doesn't want to play this very familiar sport? A group only needs a ball, a court and some skills then they are good to go. All over the world, it's very popular even though not the most. It has its own spot on the Olympics and Asian games. There's also NBA in US whom exceptionally is one of the most prevalent among others, FIBA, and also PBA in our country. Almost everyone loves this sport not because it has sometimes cute players but they promote cooperation and friendship between each and every player. 
 Then back to me my story again. I'm so not into these games because;
1. DOTA is said to be addictive and addiction to computer games will lead to poor eyesight and carpal tunnel syndrome.
2. DOTA is also said to destroy relationships with a girl. That is if you have one.
3. This game consumes much money because the longer you play in an internet café, the higher you pay.  (Some says the excitement can only be found on internet shops but who knows.)
4. Basketball is very strenuous and needs so much effort.
5. I have asthma so basketball is a no-no.
6. Basketball and DOTA needs teammates to be enjoyed enthusiastically but I don't have any so it's, realistically speaking, out of the paper at all.

Befriending ain't equal to Courting

 "Sino yung babaeng kasabay mong naglalakad kanina ha?"
 ("Who's that girl you're walking with?")
 Many friends are asking me this question over and over. Undeniably, they're thinking that I'm a chick magnet even with my doubtful looks because every time they see me, I'm with a different girl. If you might also see me in the campus strolling, you might want to query the same.
 Yet, another question would pop up. "Bakit wala ka pa rin palang girlfriend?" ("Why is it you still don't have a girlfriend?") Only a dead air will be my response to this. 
 Then,my mind started asking me the same questions combined. "Marami ka nga na kaibigang babae ngunit bakit wala kang girlfriend?" ("You really have many girl-friends but why not have a real 'girlfriend'?")
  It's been a 2 years since I've been in a serious relationship and that relationship didn't end very well. After that, I've been struggling to be close with the one who caught my eye and my full attention. There's Ms. Raisa that I've used to love, almost, when I was in my first year in college and Ms. Zarah since the 1st semester of my second year. Along also came my "class crush" whom gaves me the reason to attend classes regularly with all my heart. And with all those classes, there came my very trustee friends which are, nonetheless, girls.
 Yet, the question nevertheless remains the same. Befriending a girl is not equally alike to courting a girl in three particular ways.
 1. When introducing yourself to girl whom you don't have an intention of liking, there's no tense feeling circulating through your body especially a fast heartbeat.
 2. Every physical contact between you and your friend e.g. skin to skin doesn't emit the so-called 'static effect' which sometimes is interconnected to being soul mates.
 3. And, talking to another girl for the first time is as much as the same with other friends you made unlike when talking to your crush for the first time, you stutter like hell and feels like you’re going to throw up in front of her because of your absolute nervousness.
 Actually, those ways were just made up. All were based to how I've handled the subject matter and up until now, I'm a waste. So a piece of advice to those teens like me out there, stick out your balls, put on your best attire and start having a real 'girlfriend' before coming to the point of thinking you're a gay.

Signs of the End?

 We might here that Japan is an earthquake-friendly country *chuckles* but a Tsunami and at this very month of this year,you might want to do some back tracking.

 Below are some facts about the said tsunami that I've managed to get from a trusted information website.

"The 8.9-magnitude offshore quake at 2:46 p.m.—the seventh strongest in history—was followed by more than 50 aftershocks, many of them of more than 6.0 magnitude.Dozens of cities and villages along a 2,100-kilometer stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, 380 km from the epicenter.The tsunami swallowed everything in its path. The apocalyptic images of surging water broadcast by Japanese TV networks resembled scenes from a Hollywood disaster movie.Around 4.4 million homes were without power in northern Japan. A hotel collapsed in Sendai and people were feared buried in the rubble. " -courtesy of Inquirer.net

 A horrible tragedy that really gave Japan a big slap in the face. It took the world by storm and destroyed many lives of our fellow Japanese and also some Filipino citizens living there. Yup, you read it right. There are also lives of Filipinos at stake. Search and rescue teams were sent by our government to help our fellow countrymen and other people whom were in verge of losing their lives.

 If the Supreme Being will shower some hope in our world, now is the best time. 

 Okay, let me now get you straight to the point. The year is just starting but there seems to be many life-risking disasters that we can connect to the said 2012 Apocalypse. I'm not joking and I don't want to but believe or not, we all want to be realistic. 

 The way things happen in every parts of the world. From simple unperceived trembles to high intensity earthquakes, 4th alarm fires to hundred acre wildfires, and drizzles to flash-flooding heavy rains. The harder we subjugate the truth, the harder we may realize what we really are about to face. 

 I'm making no notions but exemplifying what I understand as the truth. You may or may not take it lightly but it's up to you. Everything is possible, that's all that I can see.

No Lefties, just Right

 Love is everywhere. Valentine's or not, every person in this 6 billion population planet can find it's mate or probably soul-mate if he/she gets really lucky.

 I've been in love with nonetheless, few girls. Some of them entertained my feelings while others snob me. And, if I can rationalize those who entertain me from every girl I confess with, it would be like 1 is to 3 (1:4). That ain't sweet for others but with the looks Supreme Being gave me, am really blesssed.

 Anyways, how can we really determine if the girl whom we are date every single time you're together, or we are still courting as of now, and/or we are just thinking of making the move on confessing is the right woman for us. 

 First, you must know what the word "Right" means to you. If it's supposed meaning is longer than usual, you're just making it up and if it's the other meaning on the Merriam-Webster, hell your humor doesn't have any sense.

 So, any answers popping up in your minds? It's just as simple as 4 words; best and most suitable partner (disregard 'and' as part of the 4 words, okay!). I've just added the word partner if you may query.

 From the meaning itself comes up the one and only factor to make sure if he/she really is the right one, seeing a bright future with him/her. As simple as that with no more opinions and violent reactions.

 A bright future is all that matters. If he/she is the best, she might as well be your future spouse.Yup! You read it right. No more talkies or chit-chat. Start thinking today what your life will be with her on your side. Only if you can see her as your significant other then he or she really is the one.

 Enough on explanations 'cause I know you really understand what I'm really talking. So do you mind if we both start cogitating?

Fita Spreadz and Cup noodles

 Being in college isn't all about studying hard to earn a degree, to earn a diploma. It's also about being independent and with that independence comes the worst part of keeping it up, budgeting your allowance. 

 It is, for some guys like me the worst part in this stage of growing up. You can do everything you want with your life but not with this. This ain't like quizzes or reaction papers that you can slack off. It's your worst nightmare and no mommy or daddy is at your back to tell you what the right thing to do.

 Some might have a monthly, others might have weekly   allowances but in my case, I'm on the latter.

 This pile of peso or pieces maybe are all ours. Once given to us, it's our decision where and when to use and throw it all away. 

 Those rich persons, having all the extra cash in their full-blown pockets, parties all night long. Paying every single they order, even their friends at the table on the other side of the corner. Oops, I may be really really about this party animals but it's what they want so be it and I'm not jealous, just to clarify. *chuckles*

 To the ones like me, every peso that I have in these old-ragged wallet is a possession which needs a deeper attention. Saving some cash and eating meals 3 times a day plus handouts or extra things to buy like a ballpen once I lost mine's is a hell of a job. Am lucky to have a rice and *blah* meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner but with some circumstances knocking on my front door, a bottle of water will be my trusty mate.

 It's a blessing that we Pinoys are very creative and innovative in every problems that arise in our ways. Weeks of eating and I'm getting used to it, the combination of cup noodles and fita spreadz. At first. it really doesn't taste at all but as time passes, you'll get a hang of it. Delicious and aromatic, if you may ask, especially when you dip the cookie sandwich on the soup. For those who want to know what is its nutritional value, might wanna check that on the back of their respective wrappers. 

 But what's intriguing is that it really fills in your stomach, literally. It's like you've eaten a nice and flashy slash the nutrient content meal. Just don't drink water immediately after finishing the meal for your stomach will be filled with fluids that is really heavy though. 

 I'm not a nutritionist major neither a food technologist in the making, just a simple college student who struggles every day of his living to continue coping with his surroundings. So, I therefore conclude that eating this kind of meal everyday will make you look like a living "loser" e.g. pound per pound.
