A day in a single's life

We called my grandpa overseas last night. It was his birthday. The first thing he asked me when I got the phone is “May boyfriend ka na?” And my automatic reply was “Hahahaha. Wala pa!” and then he said “Ok lang magkaboyfriend, malaki ka na naman”, “It’s better to live life when you have someone beside you” Waaahh!! Ayaw maniwala…wala nga eh :’-(

Why do people don’t believe me when I say I don’t have anyone and has not had one ever??! People always think I’m kidding. It’s exactly the same reaction I get when people from the office ask me or when random people ask me about my status in life. Then their next question would be “WHY?” Why? Why ask me?? I don’t know! I guess nobody bothered to ask. Then comes their conclusion “Baka mataas standards mo?” Wenk! Huh? I guess it’s ok to have at least some standards but….as I’ve said, nobody bothered to ask so to whom will I put the standards on?

Then they’d say “Baka naman naiintimidate sa'yo?” Seriously, do I look intimidating? Anyway if they won't approach me because they feel that way, then good! I dont want to be stuck with someone who doesn't have guts.

"Talaga lang ha..wala ka pang boyfriend? Maganda ka naman, mabait..blah blah blah" then I'd say "Di kasi ako sexy eh! Joke lang no. Ok lang..dadating din yan!"

Yeah, so there. The usual question and answer portion about my "being single". I must admit it does get lonely at times. Specially when watching mushy movies and reading lovestories and when Christmas and Valentines Day comes. Days when you really want to have someone beside you to share your dreams, aspirations, and life.

Other than that though, being single has its perks too! I get to do my own thing without anyone bothering me. I get to travel, party, buy whatever I want, go with anyone I want, live life the way I want to without feeling guilty that I have to think of someone else beside me.

So, am I lonely because Im single? Definetely NOT! Yes, there's that void in my heart somewhere but I've got tons of friends, a wonderful family and a life that I really enjoy. Not having a boyfriend doesn't mean I have to stop enjoying life and not be happy. The right man will come along at the right time they say...

For now, I'll just be here doing my own thing and just enjoying life. ^_^

New toy for the New Year!

I got myself a new toy last Saturday! Yey, after looking for a long time, I finally got a new notebook pc. I have been thinking about it for so long and looking at all the displays in the glass windows of computer shops! Finally, finally..I got one at a reasonable price with all the specifications I want. Hmm not really all, but it’s enough for my needs. I got a Neo Empriva 531NL. I originally wanted a Neo Empriva 540NX2 but the first one almost has the same specs aside from the firewire port and the Duo Core 2 processor. I can make do without those things. A 1.66 GHz duo core is enough for my graphic needs. The portable I got didn’t have an OS preinstalled as well. That’s alright though as I have an XP disc at home. That saved me 20grand at least. =)
Thinking about it, I got it in haste! I know I’ve been drooling over notebooks for a couple of months now! The only thing stopping me is the money. Hehe! I wasn’t really planning on buying one that day. But with the offer they have..who couldn’t resist? And If I got more money, I would have gotten a black macbook pro. They say that the graphics on that mac is awesome. Yeah, I’ve tried it in the apple shop and it’s really cool!
So that day, after having lunch with a friend I asked him to come with me to look at the notebooks in SM City Cyberzone. The first shop we went into has the notebook I want, and after 5 minutes of the guy sales talking me and a few more minutes processing my card, I got out with a brand new toy! Haha! Im such a gadget freak =)
Anyways, we watched Shake, Rattle and Roll afterwards. It was supposed to be a horror film but we just laughed all the way up till the end. I don’t know how they can make movies like that and include it in a film fest, It was really hilarious! Not because it’s a comedy but because the movie doesn’t really make sense and we’re not sure if they really thought hard of the script. It was still a funny experience though.
So I got home, unwrapped my toy and installed the OS and other softwares in it. My mom called me and asked me to bring bagoong to my uncle’s house (family’s all there for a party) and I brought it with me and continued installing there. Such a geek! Lol
Then I spent New Year’s Eve awake all night doing the posters in photoshop for work. That was my excuse for buying the notebook. Haha, nobody bought that idea though as we got a fully functional and not over a year old pc I assembled at home.
Well anyways, Im now at our apartment, just finished watching Desperate Housewives in my notebook and now Im browsing the web using my 3g phone as my modem. It’s not as fast as the dsl at home but for now it should suffice. It’s 460kbps, so at least it’s 5x faster than dial up. Im really lovin this! Gotta love technology.
