Moving out
It's kinda sad that I'm at my age and I'm still living with my mom and her family. My boss and a few friends have been nagging me incessantly that I should be on my own already. The funny thing is, I agree with them. Finding my own place has been an agenda of mine for a few years now but I just never got around to doing it. And I'm not a Mama's Boy. If nothing else, I've been termed a 'bad influence' on my sibs by my mother herself. I plan to celebrate my birthday next month with myself with my own place. I'll have to list what excuses I come up with in the following weeks.

Musings about the heart
An odd topic for me. I mean, I'm not much of an emotional person. Let's face it. I'm not really an emotional person. Anybody gets near me, or too close, my shields go up. I won't get into the reasons. Story's too long and nobody wants a sob story.
Anyways, this subject came up because of an odd message that came in thru my Friendster account. Yes Virginia, there are still people who use Friendster. It's odd because it's from a guy who isn't really that close to me and the few times he did message, it was to do a background check and not ask about me personally.
The message basically repeated his previous questions. What kind of life did his current(?) girlfriend lead here in Davao. I had replied pretty much everything I know. As much as I was able to glean since I did pursue her romantically and I failed in catching her attention. I don't know if they're breaking up or anything but I'm pretty sure it's in a rocky state right now.
The girl in question doesn't have much going for her in terms of marriage considerations. Let's just say she's not built for long-term relationships. She tends to lose interest rather quickly. And a number of other criticisms that I've finally realized now that I'm not head over heels for her.
What surprises me is the fact that I tried to pursue her. Which is an odd thing for me to do. Must have been the hormones. Or most likely youthful idealism and naivety. Not anymore though. The past 18 months have been momentous for me. I'm not the same person as I was before. If anything, my shields are stronger.

Hiatus and whatnot
Meh. It's been months since I last posted anything. But thankfully I'm back in a VA job so I have time again. I should really turn this into a habit. Where were we? Oh yes. I'm back being a VA. Which I really find to be an interesting job.
Being a voracious reader I encounter a lot of new, interesting stuff in the course of my net research. Other things creep me out of course. The latest being www.mydeathspace.com. I didn't know morbidity can reach that stage. I mean I've seen people butcher each other online but this? The fact that there's nothing graphic and it's only a list of people who are gone and yet their MySpace pages are listed... well, it certainly smacks me as creepy. Especially when you see how it was for them when they were alive.
Anyways, to lighter things. I've finally played EVE Online! Oh yeah! After 2 years of first learning about it, I finally have the chance to actually play it on a regular basis. I initially thought it was only if I had a credit card could i pay the euro-based subscription. Not anymore. There's actually a company here that works as an intermediary. I pay Mobius and Mobius pays EVE. A bit pricey but it's well worth it. I like a good space opera. Especially this one with real people in it in all their full glory. Of course the bulk seems to be Europeans and Chinese. I wonder how many Filipinos are playing....
