Sef and Glenn

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates regarding my lovelife. I’m pretty sure you all wanted to know what happened between me and Sef and you’re probably curious about my new boyfriend named Glenn.

Let’s start with Sef. As you probably know, I’ve dated him for quite some time. We used to send each other emails and texted each other often. Somehow between the 6th and 7th date, he seems to become cold towards me. He no longer answers my email. He’s always busy with his job at the magazine (he’s the layout artist). I no longer felt that he’s interested with me in a romantic kind of way. Then he didn’t show up on the night of our departure to Baguio telling me all these reasons.

So I went to the Panagbenga Festival alone and enjoyed it as much as I can. When I returned from Baguio, I told him that I would stop courting him since I really don’t feel that he finds me a boyfriend-material. I look into his eyes and I see my reflection as a good friend, not lover.

Sef and I remained good friends even though I’ve already stopped courting him and started labeling our hang-outs as “gimmick” instead of “date”. The last time I saw him was during the showing of “The Hunger Games” at the Shang Cineplex. I’m one of the 60 Nuffnangers who joined the event and Sef was my “plus one”. It was purely a friendly “gimmick” and it’s nice to see him, gorgeous as ever, sporting a new haircut. He’s still not seeing someone and I haven’t heard him told me if someone is courting him. We ended the night at a coffee shop and catching up on each other’s lives. I ended up telling him about my boyfriend, Glenn.

I met Glenn in July 2011 (just last year). Back then, he was the boyfriend of my best friend forever (BFF) named Jereil. I got attracted to Glenn the first time I saw him. I immediately love his smile, laugh, voice and the way he carries himself. I find him gorgeous and sexy. Since Glenn was Jereil’s boyfriend at that time, I never made these feelings known to him.

I have talked to Glenn and texted him once in a while ever since that first meeting. I became the “crying shoulder” whenever they have their lover’s quarrel. They’re relationship ended sometime in February. I texted Glenn saying that I’ll court him as soon as he moved on from the breakup.

Glenn recovered easily from the breakup and when he confessed that he’s really over my BFF (now called his ex), I asked for a date. He said yes and we soon found happiness in each other’s arms the first date we had. My feelings for Glenn was revived the second time I saw him in person. He’s as gorgeous and sexy as I remembered him.

It was probably influenced by alcohol or something, but the moment I asked him to be my boyfriend, on our first date, he said yes and we sealed the commitment with a kiss. It was one of the best feelings in the world, to be in a relationship again.

Two days after, we made love and find joy in each other’s companion. We were really in love with each other. I felt that I’ve known him forever. The feeling that I have for Glenn is beyond words. I love to be with him for the rest of my life.

The story of Glenn and I have only just began.

Preoccupied

Sorry for the lack of post in this blog. I’m currently preoccupied with two things: work and Sef.

My current account is an accounting software. This January is tax season in the US and we’re expecting a huge volume of calls. That’s the reason why we’re having mandatory overtime (OT). I’m not use to overtime and I dread tonight’s shift because it would be a working day in the US. I can almost imagine the “queuing” that will happen later.

This is also my first sales account. I’m not use to it as well. We’re expected to sell more than $4,000.00 worth of software and service (technical support) subscription in a month. My past 3 months is pathetic when it comes to the selling part of my metrics. Last month, I have the lowest revenue among our team with only $1,400.00+ revenue for the accounting-software company (the client). I wish I could change my game plan this month and begin hitting that target.

We still have other metrics that are similar to other centers and accounts. These metrics includes the usual Average Handing Time (AHT), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT), Attendance and Schedule Adherence (number of late), First Call Resolution (FCR), and other minor stats. Right now, other than the Sales part of our metrics, I’m also failing the CSAT and FCR. I only excel in AHT, Attendance and Schedule Adherence (which are minor stats).

I hope to change my game plan this month and focus on selling because that is where the money is. There’s a huge monetary compensation if we excel in selling. In addition to that, the client always checks in the Sales portion of our stats first. I’ll probably seat besides our most successful sales agent to acquire her style in selling. God help me.

On the lighter side of the news, there’s Sef to balance the Work-Love equation. Sometimes I believe that common connotation that if you’re failing with the Work part of our life; we’re at least succeeding with the Love aspect. I find it true in my case. My work status is inversely proportional to my love status.

Right now, Sef and I are in constant communication: via in Facebook, emails and text messages. I enjoy every moment that I’m talking to him over the phone. I love receiving his text messages and emails. Hopefully our date would proceed this Saturday. I’m inviting him to watch an indie film.

So my brain right now is preoccupied with Work on the right side and Sef on the other. If I were to choose which of these two I would rather be successful with, I would always choose the Love part (Sef in particular).

P. Gomez Street, Pasig City

I’m sorry guys for the lack of updates regarding my lovelife. I’m still working on it. Unfortunately, my date last December 15 didn’t push through. Hopefully tomorrow, we’ll be able to meet. Let’s just call him Sef. He’s been occupying my mind lately. He’s a very energetic, charismatic and interesting guy.

Then there’s Dan, the blogger. I also wanted to know him better but he won’t give his number nor personal Facebook page. He’s been an elusive guy. I sure hope he’d open up more to me so that we could know each other better.

Let’s talk about something else.

P. Gomez Street is one of the oldest streets in Pasig City. It’s opposite the Pasig Catholic Church (Immaculate Concepcion Parish) and just behind Rizal’s monument. It has beautiful old houses from Spanish and American era.

As advised by Brian, I took pictures of these houses with the Sepia effect. Also, there’s one modern house in this street that is really an eye candy. I’m still using the automatic feature of my Canon EOS 1100D in these pictures.

Lately, I’ve been taking pictures using the Manual mode. Also, I setup a new blog on Wordpress that would feature my photos exclusively. Moving forward, I’ll be posting my photos there and would just probably post 2-3 pictures here as a preview. I would also learn to blog using Wordpress.

I wanted to focus more on my lovelife, gay stuff and call center career in this blog. This would probably be the last time that I’ll be posting a lot of pictures in one blog article. I hope you enjoy these pictures of P. Gomez Street, Pasig City.

I No Longer Know Where to Look for You

While I was reading some forum messages at Pinoy G4M, I thought of advertising myself in the format of a letter. I hope someone decent and serious would send me a message. I mean every word of this letter even though I typed this almost instantly. Whatever crossed my mind, I typed it. I think I typed this message in less than 3 minutes. I really hope someone notices.

I No Longer Know Where to Look for You

I'm referring to you, Serious Relationship a.k.a. Soulmate. You're one of the hardest thing to look for!

I've searched for you, sa pen pal ad. Hinanap din kita sa Yahoo! Group at Chat. Hirap mong hanapin.

Sumali ako sa mga text clan. Baka sakaling tumatambay ka dun. Sa mga bookstores, sumasaglit din ako baka book-lover ka.

Sa mga sinehan, sa mga parks. Grabe 'di ko na alam kung saan ka makikita. Sa Sogo ba? Wise Hotel?

Sa Friendster, gumawa ako ng profile para sa 'yo. You never left a message. Nung mauso Facebook, gumawa din ako ng account. Hoping that you'll Like me.

Gumawa ako ng blog for you, hoping you'll leave a comment that you're looking for me too. Sa mga Forums, iniwan ko number ko. I never got a txt from you. Sa mga gay sites, sa mga porn sites... hinanap kita. Sumilip din ako sa mga web cams pero wala ka sa mood for a show.

Sa YouTube, hinanap ko rin mga uploads mo. Sa GG Arena, nakipag-DotA ako sa 'yo. Pero hanggang "GG na sir" lang ang sinasabi mo.

Sa Ragnarok Online I met someone like you! Kaso, hanggang close friends lang talaga kami. It was the closest I could get sa 'yo.

I no longer know where to look for you. I'm approaching my 35th birthday na and I'm almost giving up. The flame of hope for that One Serious Relationship, ay unti-unti nang namamatay. Sometimes I feel na sumuko na lang at tanggapin na you don’t exist talaga sa gay world.

Swerte lang talaga si Neil Patrick Harris for finding David Burtka or si Mark ng Westlife for finding Kevin. Swerte nga lang din ata si Tiggah for finding Pooh, or si Rocky for finding Tobie. Swerte lang ata sila... at malas lang talaga ako.

Ilang beses na ba kitang hiniling kay Santa? Ilang beses din sinambit ang name mo as birthday wish. Pag nakakakuha nga ako ng wish bone sa manok, name mo pa rin sinasambit mo. Pati nga fortune cookie, pinapatos ko makita lang yung message na malapit na kitang makita.

Hayz... paasa ka talaga, Serious Relationship. Pigment of imagination ka ata. Pero thanks sa 'yo, mukhang nakagawa na naman ako ng Blog Entry. Salamat and I'm still hoping, na one day, magparamdam ka na.

P.S.

Wish ko lang, 'pag nakita kita, 'di ko pa need gumamit ng Viagra

For my foreign readers:

I'm referring to you, Serious Relationship a.k.a. Soulmate. You're one of the hardest things to look for!

I've searched for you, in pen pal ad. I also searched for you in Yahoo! Group and Chat. You’re hard to look for.

I also joined text clan. Hoping you’re staying there. In bookstores, I pass by. You might be a book-lover.

In cinemas, in parks. Great, I no longer know where I’ll see you. In Sogo (hotel)? Wise Hotel?

In Friendster, I created a profile for you. You never left a message. When Facebook became a hit, I also created an account. Hoping that you'll Like me.

I created a blog for you, hoping you'll leave a comment that you're looking for me too. In Forums, I left my (cellular phone) number. I never got a text message from you. In gay sites, porn sites… I’ve searched for you. I also peek at web cams but you’re not in the mood for a “show”.

In YouTube, I looked for your upload. In GG Arena, I played DotA for you. However, “Good Game sire” is all you can utter.

In Ragnarok Online I met someone like you! But, we’re really just close friends. It was the closest I could get to you.

I no longer know where to look for you. I'm approaching my 35th birthday already and I'm almost giving up. The flame of hope for that One Serious Relationship, is slowly dying. Sometimes I feel like giving up and accept the fact that you really don’t exist in the gay world.

Neil Patrick Harris is simply plain lucky for finding David Burtka or Mark of Westlife for finding Kevin. It seems that Tiggah is also lucky for finding Pooh or Rocky for finding Tobie. They’re just plain lucky… and I’m just cursed.

How many times did I wish for you from Santa? How many times did I mention your name as birthday wish? Whenever I got a wish bone, it’s your name that I mention. Even fortune cookies, I give a crack out of it hoping that I’ll get a message that I’ll soon find you.

(Sigh)… you’re just giving me false hope, Serious Relationship. You’re probably just a pigment of my imagination. But thanks to you, I’ve created another Blog Entry. Thank you and I’m still hoping that one day, you’ll make your presence known.

P.S.

I’m just hoping that when I meet you, I don’t feel the need for a Viagra
