Boys and more boys

November 3rd, 2006

It’s daunting enough to have to bond with people other than the foursome that you’ve known forever, it’s downright terrifying that the new additions to our barkada are a ragtag group of boys!

Sure, it has its perks. There’s less reason to worry about how you’re going to go home late at night, how you’re dragging that heavy pile of books from your locker to the car, and how you’re ever going to finish off that triple chocolate cake and banana split. Still, boys and girls are so different that you know things are bound to get tricky.

Or so we’ve been told.

So then, will boys and girls every truly get along? What if girls want to just go to the mall or gossip and boys insist on the food court or play? Could boys ever be okay with a little healthy competition from the girls, on days when the girls take on their passion for sports? And what if feelings other than friendship develop, would it all be downhill from there for the whole gang?

Jury’s out, I guess. In the meantime, Jill and I will see who we can trick to drive us to the mall! :)

Meet the Parents…and the titos, titas, cousins, etc.

October 9th, 2006

Talk about being on pins and needles! I might as well be a voodoo doll. Set to meet Carlo’s whole clan in a couple days and I am a wreck!

It’s like the first day of the school, or at camp or at a new neighborhood. I need so desperately to be accepted. The impression that I make that first five, 10 minutes that they see and talk to me is crucial. It’s make or break, it’s love or hate.

After that first meeting, they will either set Carlo up on future dates or marry us off. :) They will either say, “What a keeper” or “Forget her.”

Now, I know that the only foolproof way to impress someone is to be yourself. But how much of yourself can you really reveal when you’re given only a single evening to spend with them? How will you be able to show them the real you? Then again, given all of your little quirks and weirdness, would you even really want to?
