GT: Love Letter

Wow! Today's topic on GirlTalk is a tough one. I've never received a love letter my entire life. A love letter that deserves a photo with this entry, atleast. heheh. Often, I would receive love notes from my bffs but never from a guy whom I have a romantic feeling for. Even my share of suitors didn't give me love letters.

This must mean that the guys I've been in a relationship with just don't know how to be mushy mushy or doesn't give an effort to put their feelings into words.

In the past, I used to envision receiving love letters, one pretty much like those in Message in a Bottle. I can only dream.

With the advent of technology, I wonder if there are still guys who will give an effort to write. My parents used to exchange a number of this letters and I don't have any doubt why my mother fell for my dad. I pray, in my lifetime, somehow I'll get a love letter. It will surely beat the anonymous text I receive: "hi! Pdi ba mnligaw?" for which I ignored. *Dude! can you at the very least, effort to spell things right?*

*After post edit*

I've posted this entry a little early and sad to say that I wasn't able to connect with how today's topic be tackled. What Kaye meant was to post a love letter. I wish I could share what I wrote during lunch today but I opt not to. I feel it to be very private as it was a love letter to The Almighty regarding my love life. A sort of prayer.

GirlTalk has spiced today's topic as well as there isa prize up for grab :))

GT: Most Romantic Movie

I am a sucker for Romantic flicks and that being the case, I have a hard time choosing the best among my favorites for today's GirlTalk topic. For the teen romcom category I totally dig Clueless, Never Been Kissed, She's That Girl and Ten Things I hate about you.

I am an Avid fan of Nicholas Sparks and among his great works that was turn into movies, my fave list includes: Message in the Bottle, A walk to Remember, and The Notebook. I wonder how The vow will fair, I will definitely watch it! I have to admit though that the books are far more romantic than the flicks.

I am not a die-hard twilight fan but I must say that the love story of Jacob-Bella-Edward has given me a share of kilig moments. A modern Romeo and Juliet with a love triangle twist. haha.

As for Pinoy Romantic Movies? No other woman, The love story, Miss you like crazy and most recently is Unofficially Yours, which I have seen in the big screen just today. hahaha. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know! I watch tagalog movies. Lame. But hey! I choose which flicks to watch.

If you've seen this flicks then, I say you might just share the same sentiments as me.

GT: Dream Date

Dream Date? hmmm... I've never gone a date with someone prior to a relationship, maybe because I find that as courtship. I don't like the traditional-put-your-best-foot-forward kind of thing. I go for guys who can be straight forward and just "courts" when you are IN the relationship.

I'm a girl-next-door or your average one-of the-boys type but still a girl at heart. For the first date... Well, a meet-up at the mall for a start. We can catch a movie, preferably comedy. A big NO for horror/suspense/thriller and Drama/Love Story. If not, it would be nice to chill time at the arcade :)

We could then spend time at a cozy place for some sweets and drinks! A coffee house will suffice! It would be a great way to know about the person -- the basics but not his full biography :)

For a date with MY Guy, I would want to go on a road trip or a travel with him. It's as simple as that :D

WHERE you were on a date is just a minor consideration, its WHO you were with that matters :)

GT: The Perfect Man

It's been a long time since I've joined GT Topics. I'm not making excuses its just that I haven't been blogging regularly as much as I want to, er used to.

I am a firm believer that there is no such man who can be perfect since we have different taste, criteria and image of THE guy we would want to end up with. Before, I used to be so ideal - he shouldn't smoke, gets along with my friends, should give me a blue rose or a dog during courtship, stuff like that but as I grew older or should I say mature. Few points changed.

Having been exposed to a man's world in terms of their way of thinking or lifestyle, I've come to accept a few guy features that I can tolerate, in all moderation. Its ok for "my" guy to smoke but should be sensitive about when and where he is going to do it. I don't like a chain smoker though. It's ok for him to drink as long as he disciplines himself and does not look for a fight when alcohol takes an effect on him. I would want him to be able to carry himself well in public and can converse with people he just met.

It's still important for my guy to get along with my friends. They don't have to love him completely but at least they can be civil with each other. But IT is most important that Papang approves of him. He should be up to some scrutiny. haha.

I don't believe in courtship so the blue rose and the dog was taken out of the list, but when we are in a relationship it would really really melt my heart if he takes notes of the things that I love and, from out of the blue, gives it to me :)

Physically, I want my guy to carry himself well in terms of hygiene and clothing. What a turn off if he couldn't take care of himself. As much as I admire hunks, I wouldn't want him to look like one. As long as I can take him to the mall then ok na. Baka mamaya sa sobrang gwapo, di man nya ako ipagpalit sa ibang babae, eh sa lalaki naman! This is how realistic I've become.

Ideally? He must have the brains of Atom Araullo and Chris Tiu, the looks of Paolo Avelino and Justin Hartley, the personality of "Papa Chen" and the charisma and sex appeal of Lee Min Ho :))

GT: Unforgettable Summer

This week's topic of GirlsTalk is about the Unforgettable Summer!

Summer is ❤!!! It brings a lot of good ol' memories and not to mention that my birthday falls on Summer! haha!

To date, my unforgettable summer was back in 1995. It was my first summer out of the island of Mindanao. My Mom, younger brother and I went to Jaro, Leyte. We stayed at a convent where my mom's bestfriend was assigned. I was able to see San Juanico Bridge, The McArthur Park and the Ancestral home of Imelda Marcos. Then, on my birthday, my Dad arrived. It was memorable since it was the summer that we were last together as a complete family. Little did I know that by November of that same year, my mom will surrender her fight with the dreaded Big C.

*will prolly post pictures once I get to scan 'em.

GT: Techie talk

A number of my blogger friends have joined GirlsTalk, and I didn't exactly dive right on in since some of the topics are waaayy out of my hive... Yes, I don't have much idea when it comes to clothes. I admit, I am a struggling fashionista. hahaha. Anyways, today's topic is a little bit on my own league. If there's anything in life that I really want the most, it has to be a gadget of some sort. I do have a wish list and If ever I do get to win lotto, then without a doubt, I'll spend moolah with this:

I'm gonna forget for a moment about laptop because I think this will be a good substitute for me... and I'll shelve that DSLR I'm sooo dreaming about and will probably buy just the charger for my camera. BUT! If I do win jackpot, then I'll buy everything and still have money left!!!
