The Bedroom Blog Diaries: The Perfect Setup
Posted on January 8, 2011 12:00AM
For me, this kind of subtle confidence paints a better picture of how secure you are in your relationship. If you constantly worry about where he is, what he's doing, or who the hell your boyfriend is talking to, you might as well keep him on a leash. Better yet, resign from work, lock yourselves in a house, and exist in your own universe. My guy friends hate that. I hate that. Don't you just hate people like that?
Instead of worrying silly that your man would lessen his initially romantic gestures and restructuring your life to fit his schedule, make him realize that you deserve no less than the utmost affection he has shown you right from the start. It may not be grandeur all the time but you need to feel it anyway. If it's real, it would always be there no matter how crazy both of your schedules get. -
The Bedroom Blog Diaries: Establishing "Me Time"
Posted on January 5, 2011 12:00AM
I remember the time when two of my best friends, Nicia and Gail, went AWOL on me and our social circles back in 2008. You couldn't talk to them for an hour straight without them pulling out their mobile phones and texting their boyfriends right in front of your face and in the middle of your conversation. I remember wanting to turn She-Hulk and crushing their phones into pieces.
You couldn't invite them on a girls' night out without having to make "reservations" a month in advance because their boyfriends wouldn't want to leave their sides. I really hated those times and promised myself that when I get into a relationship, I wouldn't be tied to my partner's waist ALL. THE. TIME. -
The Prodigal Daughter Returns
Posted on May 23, 2010 08:00AM
Last night was a complete disaster. After I walked out on Sam, I went straight home and packed with a vengeance. I was so angry—angry at Sam, at Ana, at the stupid beef stroganoff, at the stupid restaurant, at my stupid bed sheet that caught fire, at stupid everything.
Nino was kind enough to drive me back to my house in Quezon City. I took everything back, except the partly burnt bed sheet and the stupid shoe racks that stupid Sam bought for me. In my Incredible Hulk moment, I tore down the stupid wallpaper that we put up a stupid lifetime ago.
And so the prodigal daughter returned without a trace of maturity; with nothing to show for herself but more shoes and clothes that she didn't really need; with more emotional baggage than when she left to try to be independent. Of course my parents were happy to see me back home, but all the same, I felt that they were disappointed in me. After almost a year of living away from home, I accomplished nothing but the destruction of an expensive bed sheet.

Flashback: Sam's Arsty-Fartsy, Pre-Chef Days
Posted on February 7, 2010 12:00AM
Okay, here’s the beginning of how Sam came to get sick and tired of me. Seriously.
I was fresh from college back then—fresh meat—and the new hire in a small design studio in the outskirts of Makati. Despite having a Journalism degree, I abhorred writing and vowed to ditch it for good. So I applied for a graphic artist position. Ten minutes into the interview, I was hired.

Home With Sam
Posted on February 6, 2010 12:00AM
With everything I brought with me, it would take me two days to get settled. My lips were probably turning blue from hunger because Sam decided we take a break. We went to the small L-shaped kitchenette that, amazingly, had a spacious countertop and three bar stools. I unpacked my Mom’s coffeemaker, stole Sam’s coffee, poured water, and settled comfortably on one of the stools as I waited for my coffee to brew and for Sam to finish cooking my favorite cheese omelet—gourmet style.
