Dear Tumblr Crush,

I’m really thinking if I’d go anon and post this on your Ask page. But I’ve realized that you might not take it seriously so I just posted it here and I hope you’ll be able to read this. So here goes. I regret to inform you that you’re my ultimate crush. You’re one of the few people who inspired me to blog here. It’s been a little over a year now, everything’s still the same. I’m here, you’re there. Seriously, I admire you not because of your beauty but because of the personality lying underneath your awesome posts. Our paths crossed a couple of times and during those moments, I can truly say, my heartbeat raced like there’s no tomorrow. I really want to approach you and talk to you, but because I’m well-known for being torpe, it didn’t happen. I’m sorry, I don’t have the courage to tell you how much I like you. I’m way out of your league. I’m not a hipster nor an artist, I’m just a simple kid who admires you a lot. I would’ve been your Backstreet Boys Concert date last year LOL =P Okay, I think I just gave it away. If I only knew back then that I’d end up like this. Oh well. I just hope that we can get to know each other. You know my number, do the Math. Kiddin! =P

Happy Valentine’s Day to YOU!

From the greatest fan of your life. <3

PS: Jsyk, I’m always here for you. =P

Hey @kenna! Finally, I was able to wear your gift! Thanks to @ronrayzap who assembled it patiently.

As far as I know, the things listed above are realistic and attainable. To be honest, I’m giving myself only 8 months to accomplish everything. I think it’s enough time for me to be able to cross them all out. I just hope that I can overcome the hurdles along the way. Good luck to me. I can do this. Aja!

My Plurk Friends

It all started with a joke. Kevin, Mark, Toshi and I plus the Plurk Newbies Lloyd and Charles decided to finally meet last December 30, 2010 in Mall of Asia. The Plurk Oldies have been online friends since 2008 so we thought it’s about time to bond in real life. Mark and I met Kevin in Trinoma then went directly to MOA where Toshi, Charles and Lloyd are already waiting. We ate our late lunch at Teryaki Boy and talked a lot. Stayed there until 6pm then transferred to Giligan’s to have a couple of Tanduay Ice. It was indeed an awesome experience, a day full of laughter and good vibes. I’m thankful I’ve met great people in Plurk. I hope I will also be given a chance to meet in person the other Plurkers that became my online friends. After all, Plurk is my first online sanctuary.

I hope Kevin will upload our photos without the smileys covering our cute faces next time.
