First Love
By Adrienne Sharp

“Adam turned and made the march across the loft to his room, his ridiculous room, the nursery, and into his bathroom where he tore of his clothes and got into the shower. He stood in there for a long time, examining and looking at his toenails, which were as mangled and discolored as any girl’s who danced on pointe, relishing the sensation of the showerhead massage, letting it drive away his mother’s question, her answer to his question. His mother would never have another baby, this he knew, but his father wouldn’t need her, he could find anyone, any one of the girls he screwed if he wanted it enough.”

I got this as a present for my 21st birthday from Easter. For some reason, she found it amusing to give me a girly book, which is okay as I enjoy reading chic lit but this one’s too sissy for me. I haven’t even finished it yet. She says that I will relate to the story. The story goes like this:

“Sandra is a dancer in the corps of the New York City Ballet who has just been chosen for stardom by the great ballet master George Balanchine. Adam is an explosively gifted new star who has defected to the rival company, the American Ballet Theatre. They're an ambitious young pair on the thrilling precipice of fame, ill-prepared to handle the demands, seductions, expectations, and choices that are visited on them as they finally come within reach of their dreams.”

Tell me, how the hell will I relate with ballet dancers? The “demands, seductions, expectations, and choices,” maybe, but not the story. Tsk tsk. Oh, well. It’s the nearest so that’s it…

This tag goes out to Hannah, Vanessa, Odette, and Jamie.

Summary from Fantastic Fiction.

Photo Tagging

Nice, nice. I saw this “Photo Tagging” from Veejei last night and I immediately went ahead and did it even if I wasn’t directly tagged. Simple, really. There are questions in a survey-like format and your answer should be an image or photo. Cool, isn’t it? I decided to post it in “Happy Endings…” because I think Multiply is better suited for such posts. Click the picture to read and see more about it.

Reminds me of those online riddle/trivia games where you need to figure out a certain photo or image by research to move on to the next level. Woohoo!

Player Knuckle Shuffle

RULES:

1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.

IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY?" YOU SAY?
It’s You, It’s Me by Kaskade
It sounds very annoying saying “It’s you. No, it’s me. Actually, it’s you.” It’s like mocking the person who’s askin’ you.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
Sexy Love by Ne-Yo
Well, the song tells the girl how she makes the singer feel with the things she do. Hmm, I guess I can relate to that but not in a weird and disgusting way.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
Anonymous by Bobby Valentino & Timbaland
"For a minute it was looking like
I’'d end up one of those guys,
Spendin’ my whole life
Looking for a special lady who’d save me
Maybe I'll never be satisfied"
I’ll know her when I do. Gets?

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
Zoom by Fat Larry’s Band
Yeah, I felt zoom-ish today. I tried renewing my driver’s license to no avail. But I did zoom in and out of the expressway. Hehehe.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Late Goodbye by Poets Of The Fall
“And we keep driving into the night
It’s a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It’s a late goodbye”
I don’t get it. I don’t like goodbyes but I can survive it. It’s not like I’m not going to see them again, provided they’re breathing of course.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey
Ah, perfection. My Christmas theme/motto ever since I found out about it. Nice, nice. I’ve been singin’ it for years now. Hopefully, I get what I want this year’s Christmas.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
The Next Time I Fall by Bossa N’ Chicago
I guarantee that my friends would want me to fall for a different person after every relationship. So the next time I fall, it should be with someone new.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Misery Business by Paramore
Hahaha. I don’t think so. I’m the greatest thing that happened to them, I think. Hehehe.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OFTEN?
Sitting Up In My Room by Brandy
When I sit up all alone in my room, I reflect on things that happened, happening, and will happen.

WHAT IS 2 + 2?
Hate That I Love You by Rihanna & Ne-Yo
Even people argue over the most ridiculous things, but I can attest that it’s kinda cute when couples fight and they make up because they just can’t stand being mad at each other. Grrrr.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
Prison Break Theme
Well, she loves Wentworth Miller, she introduced me to Prison Break, and I’ll break her out of any tight situation if she ever needs me to.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Buy You A Drink by T-Pain Feat. Yung Joc
“We In The Bed Like
Ooh Ooh Ohh, Ooh Ooh”
Err…the question states that it’s for the one I like so when I see someone I like, I’ma buy her a drink and Ooh, ooh, ooh…Mwahahaha!

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
Do I Need A Reason by D’Sound (Bossa)
Do I need a reason to tell you why
I’m singing you this song
Do I need a reason to show you that
I know where I belong
Yes, I know where I belong and I’d rather be there than to be nowhere at all. You need not ask for reasons, I have lots of them.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Journey To The Past by Aaliyah
Weird, what I wanna be when I grow up and yet the song is about the past. Hehehe. But one gots to look at his or her past to move forward into the future. Right?

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
You Give Love A Bad Name by Bon Jovi
Hahaha. I laughed at this one. This is my get-psyched song. It’s the song that plays in my alarm in the morning. Upon hearing the song, one gets psyched. I guarantee. But it doesn’t say much about what I think when I see the person I like. On the contrary the song is full of bitterness. Haha.

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Beverly Hills 90210 Theme
Well, that’s okay, as long as my kada and friends are there to celebrate it with me, if, it ever happens.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses (Bossa)
Very religious. Just like in the Siete Palabras of our dear Lord, “Today, thou shall be with me in paradise.” Nice!

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST??
Walk This Way by Run DMC & Aerosmith
Hmm…I like walking. It’s not really a hobby but I enjoy walking, near or far. I’d rather walk.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
Someone by Freestyle Live @ 19 East
“Someone just like me
Runnin' into someone just like you
An accidental touch
Turned into a gentle kiss or two
Love has finally come
Somehow found my someone”
I’m don’t want commitment. That’s it. Tsk!

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
Soon by Moonpools & Caterpillars
“how was I to know
No one told me so
I just landed here and struggled to get by
Nothing much to see
Oh so naive
And then it hit me like it has 1,000 times”
What’s my biggest secret? It won’t be SOON before I disclose it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Falling by Keahiwai
“Only time will tell
The mystery has yet to unfold
Who’s gonna feel love’s warmth
And the other left in the cold”
Well, most of them are blinded by that one person that they truly want and can’t get rid off no matter what they do. This particular stanza kinda sums pretty much everything they went through and what the outcome will be. Whew.

WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?
Ikaw by Martin Nievera
Hehe. The only OPM that was chanced upon by the Shufflemaster. Cool. It’s probably very fitting as the song’s message is basically professing of one’s undying love. Tsk tsk.

Tagged by Jamie and Veejei, I was kinda worried answering this because my playlist’s not really that extensive. Lo and behold, I didn’t expect to complete the questions without repeating one song. And there are lots of songs left that would’ve been more appropriate to answer the questions. Some of them are just plain stupid. Haha. Bes, Hannah, Leng, and Jai, shuffle ‘em playlists of yours. Go on! Now!!!

Greatest Need: An Answer to Veejei's Tag!!!

Stumped, Vanessa. Grrr…For someone who feels indifferent about most of the things and lives his life in balance, this question bites, hard! For readers, my friend and colleague, Vanessa tagged me back with this question: “What is your greatest need?”

This really left me confused the whole day. Even as I write this entry and starting the second paragraph, I still am not sure with my answer. Let me tell you why. Ever since I can remember, I always wanted everything in balance and moderation. No, I’m not a hypocrite, and believe me; I had my share of waking up in the morning after some wild night out gimik, with no memory of how I got home. What I meant was to consider the repercussions of your actions before acting upon on it. Still confusing. Again, I’m not saying to go all Yin Yang on everything and make sure everything you do is equal. Where’s the fun in that? What I’m merely insinuating is that if you’re very good at something then you have to acknowledge the fact that you are obviously bad with things. I was never impressed with my classmates who needed hauler trucks to carry their shiny medals and academic distinctions come graduation day. You’ll easily beat me with calculus and accounting but will you be able to use that in the real world? Yes, but not all the time. Reality check: the world ain’t fair! Nowadays, you’ll probably get beaten up just because you’re smart and knows how airplanes fly. Now, if you can incorporate your intelligence with everyday living and you know who Zahara, Pax, Maddox, and Shiloh are, then you, my friend, deserve the Timothy B. Relucio One-Hand Salute.

As I’ve said, my outlook in life is total indifference. Nothing is really definite in this world and most things are dispensable. Change is inevitable, and you have to keep with it. So, with that kind of thinking, do I really have the answer to my tagged-back question? Have I answered anything? No, but I probably raised a lot of eyebrows for sounding like a jerk.

351 words and I’m more confused with what I’m writing. Writing that paragraph just made me look bad, a minor epiphany of sorts. This would be easier if I was asked what my greatest want is, as wants are simpler to think about and more often than not, you won’t need it to survive. I can just say that my greatest want would be a trip to the Hampton’s with Sophia Bush with the whole family and being served Caramel Macchiato and Brazo de Mercedes. Shallow, it may seem, and it probably is. So I’ll just conclude this confusing excuse of a blog with this quote:

“What really matters is what you like and not what you are like! Books, records, films...these things matter! Call me shallow! It's the f*cking truth! And by this measure, I was having the best date of my life!!”
-Nick Hornby from High Fidelity
Companerong Nick hits it hard, right there. Amen, my brother. My friend Cy and I lived our college life following this principle. I mean, would you really enjoy a date who talks about toothpaste caps and DNA, doesn’t know the latest Rihanna hit, thinks Harry Potter is an exchange student from Holland, knows Lindsay Lohan but thinks that she’s this good little girl from that Disney movie. Even the geekiest of dweebs have culture; not your regular social butterfly, but at least they can co-exist with other bugs. In the end, it’s different strokes for different folks. No two person is the same, so are their personalities and beliefs, which I know, matters!

So, from what I’ve ranted, I mean, written from above, apparently, materials, sex, treasures, undeniably, is a part of me, but I don’t really need it, and I can survive perfectly fine without them. So what do I need most: life itself. Those situations in movies where the character thinks he’s destined for something great, sometimes I do feel the same way. I have no plans of changing the world; I just think it needs me. I need to be living in order for more Tim to go around…Hehehe!

Veejei, I hoped I did justice with my answer. Actually, I don’t think I really answered your question, but I tried…Hehehe! Good one, this one. You made me think, and it’s rare that I do. Hahaha! Now, the payback part. I’m tagging Monette, Gurl, and Ter with this question: “In the end, who will you choose, the one you want or the one you need?” There’s a fine line between want and need, somewhere. I guess….

Tag!! Tim's It...

A friend of mine, Kads, “tagged” me, and told me to blame a colleague of ours, Kim. What is “tagging” anyway? Isn’t that a game that kids play where they run around and catch other kids, and if they do, they shout “Tag, you’re it,” and the kid that was caught becomes the “it?” Apparently, online “tagging” is something like that. When a blogger is “tagged,” he or she needs to answer the questions that that the “tagger” asked him or her. Kim explained that you a “tagged” person answers the question basically with a blog. Simple, right? Kind of fun, too. From what I understand, there’s no limit to how many writers you can tag. But of course, it’s better to tag few people to keep track of their answers. Kads tagged me and asked me this question: “At your lowest point, whom do you turn to when you think there’s no one else left around but you?”

I would have to say: Timmy! Timmy’s the person that Tim truly trusts the most in this world of ours. (I’m using third-person because it sounds cooler…Hehehe) Timmy understands Tim very well that he needs no explanation or reasoning from him; Timmy just knows how to handle Tim. The question states that’s there’s no one else around but Tim, so Tim can’t really list down names whose shoulders one could cry on, right? But for the sake of being mentioned, Bes, Cy, Hannah, and the MeanBoys; these people were the ones who were around and who helped Tim get through some low points in Tim’s life.

Most people who encounter this question answer the Lord Almighty as the one they turn to; and technically, it is the proper answer. But I was never really that religious ever since, and people might say that my faith is kind of questionable at times. I believe in God and Christianity but I don’t know why sometimes I just get over trials and obstacles, and even lowest points, without really talking to our Maker and asking for guidance. Questionable is too strong a word to describe my faith, “lost at times,” I think, is more appropriate. Lord, please don’t smite me!

Kads is right, this is a “beauty pageant question” and it deserves a “beauty pageant answer.” So the next step would be tagging 13 individuals for reasons that they are active in writing and blogging. Tim tags Bes, Meg, Cy, Leng, Ter, Talla, Kads, Odette, Vanessa, Jamie, Carlo, Mackoie, and Kimmy with the question that I got from One Tree Hill: “Think hard...on that particular moment, when all of your dreams comes true, and you found true happiness, who do you see standing next to you?”
