Swanky Middle Man

Vanity strikes 30 minutes before I started my manning schedule in the mall, I grab my iPhone5, used the front camera then 'click'. I saw a short-haired, chiseled chin, raging wannabe-GQ-front-page guy who confidently thought he can make everything look good.

And I smiled lightly whisper to myself, how long has it been since I stopped growing fondly of that lanky skinny guy in a long uncombed hair who never loved dressing up ?( the printed t-shirt guy)

That young guy who never liked sophisticated food in a fancy restaurants because its too pricy, who never wanted to travel abroad unless its free, and who never approached a woman of high-caliber assuming he might get rejected.

Never have I thought I can be the man that I am now. Secure of myself. Alpha male, ladies man, gentleman. (Superman, batman ...whatever)

For the most part of my current life I love everything about it. I'm 25, I hold a good job in arguably the biggest developer in the country. I live in my own comfortable house with 2 lovely sisters. I owned and sold my first car, ( brand new one is coming), I have a beautiful and loving girlfriend, I have tons of friends I cant even recognize their names and If I want to, I can travel just about anywhere across the globe.

I have no credits or sorts, I have a healthy bank account, I have invested in insurance business funds, I have made my parents and myself proud that I'm already able to achieve the stability of somebody in their early 30's.

However, I always see to it that whatever good thing that comes my way, I will unfailingly keep grounded, I will always thank the merciful and generous creator for giving me grace and I always show appreciation to those who supported me all the way through rough and easy times.

I always stay simple and thrifty, but still adorned and embellished. I don't want to appear as a commoner or average but I still don't want to spend on complex unneeded things.

I believe I can manifest an honest and well balanced lifestyle of that guy who just took a picture of himself before his PM shift.

Oh snap! I gotta work!

Mr. Virgo Blogging

Midnight, with a gentle breeze after the hard rain, alone with my thoughts in a quiet little room, surrounded with VISION posters plastered all over my walls, thinking ... Hmmm ... I had a great time today, What am I gonna do tomorrow?

My Wall of Fame

Earlier today, I sensed that everything was very slow-paced. No chores at home, no-show-of-client at work, it was indeed a slow-moving Friday, too slow that I just became a spectator today rather than the man on the stage, the man I once was. 

My girlfriend and I saw a world class performance by ReQuest Crew today in Ayala Activity Center as part of Ayala mall's Second day of Grand Graduation Sale event. 

I am tickled I was able to see in-flesh this high-energy dancers going at it for like 25-minute of jaw-dropping, total entertainment. 

I was on the edge of my chair the whole time, can't  help but wanting to join them, if only I have the luxury of time. I could very well be a good addition to their group, modesty aside. However that ain't my main thing now. Well, at least, not being on the stage prompted me to write instead.

ReQuest Dance Crew getting it on

 I'm more of a philosopher now, standing in an inviolable centrist view yet leaning towards impeccable realist manner.I have to admit I tend to play it safe. Yes! always I get paranoid trying to please everyone around me. 

As I remember it, I even started dancing because every one in our family kept pushing me in the center stage whenever a good song pops out. And I cant say no because they might get disappointed at me. Back in the day I was the king of  "Boom Parararara". Dancing along with my lolo Tinong with our eccentric movements.

But I am here not to tell you how good of a dancer I am, I am here to write an overdue latish reflection of what I am now, what my life was and how I plan to keep going in the future. 

In me, you will always get what you want to see, but it doesn't mean you are actually seeing what I really am. I know I am a lot to take but if you can get through my superficial lining, there underlies a vast, widest , profound expanse of scintillated starry skies imaginable. 

So what am I gonna do tomorrow?  You will know, because I will share it to you, A little bit of yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is me blogging!
