A Bird in the Hand...

Dear Callboi,

Kamusta? Medyo matagal tagal na kong nagbabasa ng blog mo. Kahit kami dito sa Support Team e libangan ang essays and stories mo pag masyado na kaming stressed at haggard sa maghapong pag-aasikaso ng demands ng Ops. (Joke lang)

Pero hindi tungkol sa Ops ang sulat ko. Hindi rin sa pagiging haggard or stressed. Tungkol sana ito sa puso. Wala kong masabihan dito sa team ko. Manager ako at malaking team ang hawak ko. Meron dito sa Manila, meron din sa Cebu. It may sound petty, but having a position in an organization may set certain parameters especially when it comes to feeling something for other people.

For the record: I'm gay.

I have been in APS for seven years now. But it is only now that I started feeling something special for someone in the office. It was only until I realize how cute and smart he is. Taga Support din siya, maliit, payat, bilugan ang mata at kulot. Higit sa lahat, swak na swak siya sa taste ko kasi "bumbayin!" Madami nang Bumbay sa atin, pero siya pa rin ang lagi kong gustong tingnan, kahit itsura lang nya ang mukhang bumbay. Everytime I see him, he reminds me that I too can still fall for someone. Everytime I look at him, he grows more attractive. Everytime I talk to him, he proves to be smarter than I the last time we talked.

Trouble is, I am currently committed. My boyfriend and I have been together since college. We already made our plans and are starting to build our dreams for the future. Pero lately, lagi na kaming nag-aaway. Malayo na kasi sa isa’t isa eh. Physically, sumusunod na ung “emotionally.” Also, may position ako sa'tin. Though I have been reading wild confessions about TM-agent, and/or Sup-agent liaisons in the office, I know deep inside that what I'm feeling right now can be really bad for our Teams..

Gusto ko siya. Hindi ko alam kung gusto n'ya ko, pero I haven't been feeling this way since I started dating like crazy back in college. Ikaw lang masasabihan ko nito (and of course your readers too!)

I'd appreciate if you could share a thought or two on this.

Un lang naman.

Desperately Seeking Joe

Dear Fulibooked,

May boyfriend ka na kaya tigilan mo ang pakikipaglandian kung kani-kanino. Dapat masaya ka na sa kaniya. Kung hindi ka na masaya, kung kulang ang happiness na nararamdaman mo to make up for all the hassles of your relationship, eh di umalis ka na. Pero heto ang tatandaan mo, there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. Believe me. I KNOW.

Tungkol naman dito kay Boy Bumbay; sigurado ka bang may pwedeng mangyari sa inyo? Baka naman kaya malakas ang loob mong makipag-away sa current boyfriend mo eh dahil sa back-up plan mong maging boylalu si Boy Bumbay?

Walang masama kung manager ka at agent siya. Balita ko kay Buquir, uso naman yan sa office niyo. Tama ang hinala ko: uso ang imoralidad sa PeopleSupport. Otherwise, hindi magtatagal diyan si Buquir. Nakuwento sa akin ni Buquir ang tungkol sa mga managers na tulad ni A***** at A****. Hay naku, yang mga managers niyo ha, feeling pogi. Mukha namang taga-kanto. Next week, magpapasa na ako ng resume diyan. Mukhang magbo-bloom ang lola niyo diyan sa opisina niyo.

Seriously, try to work things out with your boyfriend. I'm sure mahal mo pa rin siya, otherwise, hindi ka mag-hesitate na pumatol kay Boy Bumbay.

Always remember, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So hold on tight to your bird.

Rak en rol,

Ina Magenta
