NSFW: I was like 0_o "seriously?"

Naalimpungatan na naman ako sa kalikutan ng tuta.

May bago na naman kami.

Meet Chippy! He's Maltese-Pomeranian

Iba rin ang personality, ayaw ng naikukulong, SOBRANG INGAY. Akala mo nung una antukin, pero gigisingin ka ng sapilitan pag gusto nyang maglaro, like mga ganitong 2am?

Meet Dara! She's Shih Tzu-Mini Pin. Siya lang yung binili namin technically LOL. Super fan kasi kami ng isang Thai resto, so we bought her from the chef! :D

Malikot din ito, may lahing rabbit yata.


Anyway, set aside ang meet and greet the dawgs muna.



Mabait na nga ako sa FB eh? Aalisin na lang kita sa timeline ko kung mashado kang nega or nauumay na ako sa selfies mo?

Pero yung mga ganito... di ko mapalampas.

I make patol talaga.

Dahil, mukhang mashadong nagising na diwa ko, we took the debate offline. LOL

2:47am
Homer

2:48am
Seth
and that is a bookstore. not a bar. he'd smile back because he'd be polite

2:48am
Homer
pero mahirap nga un di ba

2:49am
Seth
it's not like a bar and when someone smiles at you means they are somewhat interested

2:49am
Homer

2:50am
Seth

Seth

2:57am
Homer

2:57am
Seth
well, wag na silang magmalinis.
both are enjoyable but in different contexts
it's like eating pancakes at 9pm and calling it breakfast

2:59am
Homer
haha at least pareho pa rin
iinvite mo nga ako sa mga lakad mo baka may mameet akong pedeng idate. hahahaha

3:02am
Seth
nope. if you do that, asaan ang authenticity? that's why to understand something, one has to look at the context. kasi if we use our personal norms instead of the author's we won't get the message at all
nakow. im a home buddy now  happy with munchkin and the dogs

3:03am
Homer
haha e un ang interpretation ko. kung anu man gusto nyang iparating ay dumating sa akin na kasama ang anumang pagkakaintindi ko dito.
haha nu ba yan!
baka may bestfriend si munchkin!



The idea kept me thinking... it sounded too cheesy to be original. True enough.

2012. The Mistress. Ang lakas lang maka John Lloyd at Bea Alonzo ng peg!

So why is the premise in the screenshot above SOOO WRONG in so many levels?

#1 At a bar, you are there to have fun, to socialize. When you go to a bookstore, you are getting something or enjoying something for yourself. You are not there to meet people. 

Similarly,

Answer: When it qualifies as soft porn. 

Keri naman di ba? (drool)

#2 When you accept a drink from a stranger, you open up to a dance, a chat, or maybe a little private fun afterwards. A book, is not something really shared by two adults at the same time. As G would've said it in his entry: 

"When someone interrupts your reading. Because, really, a book is a DO NOT DISTURB sign.

#3 It can be considered bribery in a sense because of the cost of the book, but also because it is also favorable to the recipient because it is a "hobby".

#4 Admit it. It is just far too desperate that you just want to be noticed and you are crying out to meet someone. Anyone. Anywhere. There is soo much denial it clouds any reasoning that "meeting someone smart, sophisticated, and intelligent" , is really the prime motive.

Seriously. They just enjoyed reading books too much they forgot how equally wonderful and tragic it is as well to interact with live persons. I believe that IS the cultural norm.
