About jerks

Indeed, things happen for a reason, probably to make us more mature.

I've had an awkward teenage life. I was the one who got teased a lot for being a wall flower. If my other classmates, would waive for popularity. I, on the other hand would not get bothered. You could see me in the corner, reading a book. That's how geeky I was back then. I was not a big joiner, so my social skills were limited.
Most of the guys, picked me up.(even those that I liked). I know the drill. First, they become friendly or pretended that they were attracted to you. When you got caught in their bait, they will drop you like a hot potato. They will make you feel stupid.
I've had countless experience on this and it took me a long time to figure out how I'm going to protect myself from them.

Last week, I had the chance to prove myself that I would not get trapped with them.
There was this guy. He was attractive, but not actually my type. He was a talent of a major network and making a name for himself. A struggling artist thing, so to speak. From the start, I know that he would not notice me. Apparently, I was wrong.
I was surprised when he texted me. Our conversation was one question, one answer. I was even more surprised when he asked me If I drink. It was awkward for me because we were not that close that he would text me like that. Sure, it was casual for him, but not for me. I told him the truth that I seldom drink because I'm allergic to alcohol. The good thing is that he was cool about it.

After responding to his question, I felt relieved. For the first time, I didn't pretend. I went straight to the point and it was not offensive on his part. Then, I realized that I was no longer alluded to their charms. I can easily sense if a guy is after something from me. Well, too bad for them because, I beg to differ. I'm conservative but not naive. For once, I proved to them that I was not gullible as I used to be.One thing I've learned is that most men are stupid and they want the obvious. I feel sorry for these guys.

I'm sure there were still good guys out there, but I'm afraid that they were rare.

My Cebu Experience

I've attended ICON last Friday at Mandaue, Cebu and it was truly a memorable experience.

It was my first time to step go to that city, so everything was an Adventure. I can say that all of the travels that I've done, this was, so far, the most enjoyable one.

Pictures would be posted soon.
