"You're being very unfair, you know?" Lonely Boy told me while we were smoking sa may pantry.

"At baket naman?" I asked him.

"Eh kasi puro side ni Lonely Girl ang focus mo sa blog! Paano naman ako? So ako ang lalabas na masama?" he asked me.

"Bakeeet? May mabuti bang side sa story in regards to you?" I asked, poking him on the chest.

He laughed, "You know, people do stupid things when they're in love..."

Natahimik naman ako dun, "So in love ka kay Lonely Girl?"

He nodded, "Ano sa tingin mo ginagawa namin? Laro lang?"

"Aba! Malay ko ba kung nagpapatintero lang kayo sa kama?" ang sagot ko.

Tahimik lang siya.

"Not a lot of people in this office know na may anak ka na, di ba?" I asked him.

He nodded, still not speaking, looking all serious.

"Mahal mo pa rin ba ang asawa mo?" I asked.

He didn't say anything, just looked at me and lit another cigarette.

Finally, he answered, "I love my son."

I nodded, "Okay."

"Magulo eh, alam mo yun?" Lonely boy said, "Paminsan, parang di ko na alam ang gagawin ko. Sarap mag-resign na lang para matahimik na utak ko."

Tahimik lang ako. Ang juicy kasi ng moment.

Lonely Boy looked at me, "Sigurado ka bang wala ka pang sinasabihan kung sino kami?"

"Maraming nagmamakaawa pero wala pa akong inaamin..." I answered.

"May nakahula na ba?" He asked.

"Meron, pero pa-joke lang ang hula niya, akala niya imposible na kayo yun," I said, laughing, "Hindi niya alam siya lang sa buong opisina ang nakahula."

Tahimik naman si Lonely Boy.

"Anong balak mo ngayon?" I asked him.

"I'm going to make everything work, even if it kills me..." he answered.

I shook my head, "Mamamatay ka talaga diyan sa ginagawa mo. Pag ikaw nahuli ng manager mo na may karelasyon kang agent, nakuuu. Alam mo naman kung gaano ka-ipokrito mga tao dito pag dating sa ganiyan."

"Asus, may mga manager nga diyan na mas grabe pa ang kalokohan sa agent kesa sa akin eh," he replied, "At least ako, may feelings for Lonely Girl. Yung iba, sex lang talaga..."

"Reaaally? Sino?" I asked him, with bated breath.

"Ulol!" He answered.

Pero eventually, he did tell me...

To my fellow blogger, fashion adviser, and constant lunchmate, Parteeboi; I only wish you the best of luck. May your life out there be as interesting as the one you had here.

And don’t forget: almost every Saturday ha?

Right, S?

Ms. Dumuk, Luna, and I were in the pantry eating awhile ago.

When out of the blue, biglang nagtanong ang Luna:

"Buquir, nanlalalake ka ba?"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Ms. Dumuk. Muntik na niyang mai-buga ang kapeng iniinom niya.

Confused naman ang Luna, "Bakit? Masama ba yung tinanong ko?"

"I would never have dared to ask Buquir that question," Ms. Dumuk said, "Baka kasi pag ako yung nasa place niya, nabuhusan ko na ng mainit na tubig yung nagtanong sa akin."

"I didn't mean to offend you, Buquir," Luna countered, "Sincere yung tanong ko."

I laughed, "So sincere yung tingin mo sa akin na nanlalalake ako?"

"Eh kasi di ba ganun yung ginagawa ng mga bading? Gumagastos ng pera para sa lalake?" she innocently asked.

Yes, my dear readers, innocent ang Luna. I do believe that she didn't mean anything bad with what she asked me. It's just how she is.

"Masyado ka namang mag-over-generalize, Luna" Ms. Dumuk noted.

"Curious lang ako," Luna said, giggling, "Gusto ko talaga malaman."

"Ikaw Luna, sa tingin mo," I asked her, "Sa tingin mo, nanlalalake ba ako?"

"Hindi naman," she replied, "Ok, just don't take my question seriously."

"Luna, dear, I never take anything from you seriously," I answered, laughing.

Sa lahat ng mga readers ko,
sa lahat ng mga may date,
sa lahat ng mga single na magkukunyaring may date,
sa lahat ng mga kabit,
sa lahat ng mga hindi makapagdate dahil may shift,
sa lahat ng mga walang perang pang-date,
at higit sa lahat, sa lahat ng mga matatabang walang dyowa,

Happy Valentine's Day!!! Basta tandaan niyong lahat, magaganda tayo!!!
(at mas matipid ang maging single)

“Are you telling me, that it’s the agent who’s doing the seducing? And not the other way around?” I asked my supervisor friend, Sup SexyBoy (SB).

SB laughed, “Ganun ba kahirap paniwalaan yun? May itsura naman ako ah!”

I sniffed, “Fine, fine. Pero para kasing di ko mapaniwalaan na that particular agent would be the one who would do the seducing. She seems so timid!”

SB laughed again, and rolled his chair towards his station. He accessed his Inbox and showed me an email from agent Double D, the girl who he claims is seducing him DAW.

The email did indeed come from Double D (Bakit Double D? Yun yata cup size ng lola mo eh. Hanlakeeh!). And what was the subject of the email?

“TEN WAYS YOU CAN PLEASE YOUR MAN.”

“Well, baka naman informative lang ang bata…” I speculated.

SB opened another email.

“OFFICE LOVE AFFAIRS: BOON OR BANE?”

“Hmm… still not enough proof…” I replied.

Another email.

“SEXY SECRETARY KNOWS WHAT THE BOSS WANTS –VIDEOS*m90.ORG”

“Video yang isang yan, and ang bastos ng laman…” SB said.

“Ohmygod, totoo nga…” I finally admitted.

“Pero dude, that’s not the worst part. She sent me an email of a pic of hers daw..” SB said, opening a file on his monitor, “Sabi niya siya raw ito while naked mag-isa sa bahay.”

I wanted to close my eyes. Di ko na yata keri makakita ng babaeng hubad. I just might faint. But the pic was just a silhouette. Thank God for small favors.

“She’s f****ing crazy!” I said to SB.

“Yeah, I think she is,” he replied, “At namromroblema na ako sa kanya ha.”

“Besides the disgustingly suggestive emails, ano pa ang problema?”

“Well, minsan kasi inaya niya akong kumain sa may Dencio’s sa Paseo. Sabi niya andun daw yung buong team niya. Napilit naman akong sumunod. Pag dating ko dun, siya lang pala. Mag-isa. Eh alangan namang iwan ko yung bata… So ayun, napa-dinner na ako with her,” he admitted.

I was almost too scared to ask, “May nangyari na ba sa inyo?”

“Hello??? Of course not!” SB said, shaking his head, “May girlfriend ako no!”

“Funny, di mo sinabing hindi mo siya type…” I noted.

“And yun din, hindi ko siya type,” he added, sheepishly.

“Naman!” I said.
