An Invitation

In Ragnarok online, there’s this category of players we call Chixilogs. Literally, this means that the player driving the female character is a guy in real life. In a negative sense, these chixilogs use feminine wiles to trick their fellow players into doing them some in-game favors. This is a derogatory name that is given to those who are willing to roleplay their girl character to its full potential and swallow their in-game manhood just to get further in the game. This is also a reflection of the way society views women, in general; implying that girls are the needy ones, and guys are the providers. Guys have a certain perception of how a girl should act, look and, in the game pRO, play.

I, on the other hand, interpret the term chixilog in another way. In fact, i get tickled by the thought that players have always thought the player who plays Polgara is a guy. I like it when I get thought of as a chixilog. I’d like to think I get more attention and recognition from players because of the way I play.  It sucks to think that they’re patronizing me and not treating me as an equal, in-game, just because i’m a girl.

I encourage the misguided thought of RO players that I’m a "Chixilog" just because I have accepted that chauvinistic males who play this game simply cannot digest that someone who can play pRO better than them could actually be a girl in real life.

While I enjoy throwing in the feminine sass once in a while to get my way, I bristle at how some guy players treat my opinions like dirt when they finally get convinced (by me) that i am a real girl. Hence, I’d rather succumb to the tag of chixilog (which i find non-offensive, but rather funny), than have my in-game talks disregarded in favor of "karir" conversations that will waste my time.

As a matter of fact, my personal definition of chixilog is "girls with more balls than guys". Which in some cases, is true. (laughs)

I am a voracious reader. As long as something is printed on something, i compulsively read it…. from backs of soap boxes, to recipe books, blogs, far away store signs that  whip by when i travel by bus… to large encyclopedias, novels, dictionaries and textbooks on Biotechnology or Calculus.  I drink in every word, phrase and sentence. After all, books or reading materials in general are the most unboring things in this world. Every page tells a different idea.

   
    I just realized that my addiction to chatting and online interaction
stems from my love for reading. Weird huh? With all the distraction
from physical appearances gone, one can just concentrate on the
personalities (or assumed personalities) of the guys and gals one talks
to over chat.

I feel like im starting on a new book everytime i meet a new friend online.

I’ve met people who remind me of guide books or recipe books, or atlases… they are people I always consult  when I have problems or just plain lost. They never tire of giving out advices, directions and suggestions over things that are vital as well as trivial. Some others of this type remind me of Bibles, which i consult whenever I’m losing faith. I love these people, and like I do to my most precious resource books, I keep them encased in protective structures to ensure that they remain with me forever.

   

    I’ve met people who take me to another world when I talk to them. I categorize them alongside my favorite fantasy novels, romance books and "pron". They may spout a lot of bull, particularly those with stories that are soooo far out that they can never really be remotely true… but I keep these people in my list of PM priorities just because they entertain me amazingly well. I’m always spellbound by narrations that are so obviously made-up that I get freaked at the amount of brain power it took to concoct them. A colloquial term for these types is "barbers". But barbers or not, they always entertain. The same goes for people i categorize as Tabloids.  They warp the truth so much that it sounds like it’s anything but.

 
    The best way to categorize the people i meet in the context of literature will have to be: Fiction or Non-fiction. 

    Fiction types, particularly the good ones, are the hardest to quit. I can’t resist PM-ing them when I see them around over the net just because I really want another dose of pure bullshit. After all, I get to laugh (a lot), cry and even get horny over their imaginatively told subject matter. There was this guy who told me he was dying in the next 3 months (to arouse my sympathy, i guess) . I spent hours and hours talking to and crying with him about the whole ordeal of what he was supposedly going through, because he was 100% sure. His version of his story varied too much for me to really take him seriously, and at one point his plot became so thick and convoluted that he contradicted everything he said in the past. It was melodrama at it’s best and it kept me spellbound… up until the time that he was "supposed" to die. After this time, I didn’t PM him anymore and he didn’t take initiative either. I guess that good read was over. I did talk to him on his cel after a year of non-communication and called him out on his lie… along with a very civilized offer. I said:

"Hey, c’mon, you know i didn’t really believe all that shit, but I let you to
keep it on because it’s your trip. Let’s start
again by you undoing all the lies you told me. I really enjoyed the
fictional ride, but now that it’s done with, let’s be real friends."

 
    Actually, I did miss him, he was good company. But he was just too humiliated to really know where to start telling the truth. Either that, or he is completely incapable of telling something not made up. Like all fiction books, I keep these types close to me until i get bored or finished with them, then leave them on the shelf to collect dust, except when i feel like reading them again for fun.

 

    Non-fiction types are really the hardest to read, but the most fulfilling. Most of these people lay their hearts out along with their life stories in front of me instantly. A few told their stories in chapters… gradually unfolding their lives in my eyes as their trust in me got stronger. Like I do when reading autobiographies, I keep an open mind and reserve judgment until later when i get to know the person completely. However, I did close the pages a little too soon for those with stories  that so disturbed my peace of mind and creeped me out. Some others so touched me deeply and spiritually that I felt their pain, their worries, their happiness, their dreams and illusions. Even if I never meet the person again online or in real life, his or her story will stay with me forever as if it were mine.

 

    I prefer to figuratively read "real" people, but in cases when reality bites too much for comfort, I seek out those that will provide me with the sense of fun that i need with their delusional narrations.  I gotta keep those creative juices flowing, see? As we say "kwentuhan lang naman, hayaan mo na."

Disclaimer: While most of the traits listed under each sign may be
shown by all MEN in general, I chose those traits that are dominent for
each sign. These are based on my previous readings, experiences, and
people that i met and interacted with so far. While my writings may
have been influenced by the late great astrologer, Linda Goodman, most
ideas and examples cited are mine.

Note: This thread contains longer descriptions, for obvious reasons

Aries Guy (March 20 - April 18) Lieutenant Brat

He
will always be at the front of a group. You can’t miss him coz he’s
always the one to start parlor games, pranks and discussions. There’s
usually a T sign between his eyes, formed by thick brows that remind
you to not mess with him because when he wants to, he can lead an
all-out war against you, with his own personal army. This guy is a
leader, he cannot be comfortable as a mere follower. When he can’t be
the one who leads, he will usually veer out alone to organize his own
group. Any institution led by the Aries guy will succeed just because
leading is what he does best. These guys of the fire sign can tolerate
fevers high enough to kill other people.

In Love: In
love, he will want you to make him the center of your life, and he will
do the same to you. Everything must be about him. Any diversion on your
part will make him lose interest fast. Just like a baby, he will want
your full attention when he needs it. Like a kid proudly saying “Look
what I did, mom!”, you are compelled to watch as he demonstrates his
skills, otherwise he will hate you. Never dictate how he should spend
his money. He is the captain of his destiny, as well as his finances.
In his mind, you are a princess and he is your prince, so don’t do
anything un-princess-like or he’s gone.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Always sing him praises when he does something he considers important.
Kung madalas syang mag-daldal, wag mo syang babarahin in the middle of
his discussion (which will require your patience kasi matagaaaal bago
sya matapos). If you interrupt him and change the subject, he will let
you talk for a while, but will return back to the original topic coz he
wasn’t through with it. Siya ang bangka ng usapan, sakyan mo na lang.

———————————————————–

Taurus Guy (April 21 - May 21) The Sensual Homeboy

This
guy loves to eat, drink and be happy. He is a man’s man, and in a group
or party, men want to be in his company just because he’s an epitome of
how guys should act and look. Like the female counterpart, he gets
mooney over babies and families who go out together in the park or in
church. He wants his parties at home where he’s comfortable and with an
approved guest list of his favorite people. This guy will love you if
you cook well, and he usually will not eat much if the food is less
than par. He’s also attracted to texture and will choose comfort over
fashion in clothing. There may be times when he seems out of sorts and
cranky. This usually arises from lack of sleep, lousy food and
uncomfortable resting conditions.

In Love: He’s usually
chauvinistic and won’t tolerate un-womanly behavior in a girl. In his
mind, guys have certain things that they can do, and girls have certain
limitations to what they can do and say around other people. Any
improper behavior or comment will warrant a verbal beating when you’re
alone together.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: When he’s in one of
his moods, try to coax him out of it by bringing him his favorite
merienda, and a soft pillow or stuffed toy. When he doesn’t want to
sleep, you can pat the bed and make “oooh”-ing or yawning sounds as you
hug the pillows. When you describe something to him over the phone or
over the net, use adjectives like “ay ang lambot ng higaan ko ngayon”,
or “hmm ambango ng binili kong perfume, amoy candy”, he will get a very
graphic image of your description, as if he were actually the one
touching, tasting or smelling it.

——————————————————-

Gemini Guy (May 22 - June 21) The Multi-tasking Underdog

This
guy can multi-task more efficiently than any other sign. He can be
talking to you over YM, brushing his teeth, doing paper work and
watching something in youtube… all at the same time. He always has a
target person that he will want to be, or a target position of power
that he will aim for, dream about and ceaselessly talk about. However,
given a position of power, he will not be content until he maximizes
the full potential of his position; which, with his ambitious nature,
means he will never be satisfied. This guy wants you to change with
him, in fact, he can’t stand permanence in life. He is also a notorious
gossip who will want to know everything that’s happening. This is not
to say that you cannot trust this guy. You can. However, the weird
thing is, the only way that you can get him to keep a secret is when
you express that you trust him 100%.

In Love: This guy
will have many girl friends, not necessarily love relationships but
more of friendships. If you’re the jealous type of girl, don’t enter a
relationship with this guy because he really loves to make friends.
Again, the paradox of trusting plays a big role. He might say to you
when you’re being paranoid: “Tutal wala ka din naming tiwala sa akin, e
di gawin ko na lang ung lagi mong ina-accuse sa akin. No difference
naman e, wala ka din naming tiwala.” But if you don’t nag him as to
where he went or what he did, he will voluntarily talk to you about the
people (including girls) he met and be very open about his feelings
about other people. This is because he is secure that you will not
over-react and get unreasonably jealous.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Pag may tiwala ka sa kanya, mahihiya siyang gumawa ng kalokohan. Just
make sure na hindi pakitang-tao ung tiwala mo, kasi mase-sense nya na
nagkukunwari ka lang. Like a guy friend of mine said to us when we were
asking him to drink, “guys, I would really love to, but my GF trusts me
that I will not drink tonight, so I won’t.” No amount of peer pressure
will make him break his promise to his GF who trusts him completely.

——————————————————–

Cancer Guy (June 22 - July 22) Sweet Midas

This
guy loves to be pampered with romantic words, gifts and gestures, the
same way as he loves to shower his friends with these. He’s sweet and
cuddly… and incredibly tickly. He seems like a pushover who will always
be ready with a smile and infectious laugh. However, beware of
Dr.Jekyll behind his Mr. Hyde. This guy normally has a side of his
personality that is completely different from that side that you know.
My personal experience with a Cancer guy friend showed me that
something must trigger this behavior switch. In my guy pal’s case, it’s
alcohol. He’s calm and funny when he’s normal, and he gets wild and
outrageous when he’s consumed alcohol. Another situation to be wary
about is business. When this Cancer guy handles the money side of your
company, you can be sure that your money will grow. Every trade or a
deal is a challenge to his powers of persuasion, and he is always one
step ahead in market trends. He will crush the competition
(business-wise) with a charming smile and a pat in the back, like
saying “nice try, buddy”. Like Midas, the proverbial icon whose touch
brings gold, this guy’s mind is like a working cash register that’s on
24/7.

In Love: He will almost always express his love
in gifts that are sentimental as well as unique. He prides himself as a
good cook and will only cook for someone he likes or loves. If he feels
like you’re taking advantage of his generosity, he will pretend to be
broke. He will pay a good amount of money for scenery and a romantic
location, but won’t waste his cents on somewhere hip and modern but not
in the least romantic.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Ito ang
sign na madalas magtampo at tumahimik na parang hurt na hurt pag
ina-away. Mas madalas tumalab ang mga lambing at sweet-nothings sa guy
na ito kesa sa ibang signs. Expect PDAs, and impulsive hugs and kisses
during dates. He is a mama’s boy, kaya wag na wag pipintasan ang
kanyang mommy.

—————————————————-

Leo Guy (July 23 -August 21) His Majesty, Johnny Bravo.

There
are 2 kinds of Leo guys, I call them The Big Lion and The Shy Pussycat.
The big lions are BIG, literally, with big ideas, big statements and
bigger egos. The shy pussycats are timid but will bristle like a
cheetah and unsheath their claws when insulted personally (in their
standards). Both types talk about themselves all the time, the first
with a big voice, and the latter with a soft voice. These people
desperately need an audience to listen to them. One indication of the
August-born is the way they talk: in steady, measured tones and
dramatic statements that always make an impact… as if he’s hearing
applause in his mind everytime he finishes with one statement. He will
always have people who love him to a fanatic degree, and people who
hate him… also to a fanatic degree. Like Johnny Bravo, he will seem
invincible and unstoppable. Only a Leo will show true courage in
desperate times. When everyone is too scared to move, he will slap fear
in the face and say, “shut up and go away!”. In group dynamics, he
would rather lead, but will be content to stay in the sidelines (as the
right hand man), as long as he gets credit for everything he did behind
the scenes.

In Love: This guy will want to know what
you did at 8am, 9am, 10am, 11am, 12pm…..etc. He will want to know what
you ate, who you ate with, and what you talked about during lunch. When
you suddenly stare out at nothing outside the window, he will ask you,
“Anong ini-isip mo?”. He owns you, and all your feelings and your
thoughts belong only to him. Unlike the Aries guy who will want you to
attend to him only when he needs you, the Leo guy will want you to
attend to him and his needs, think only of him and even dream of him,
even when he’s not around.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Don’t
waste money buying him sentimental but inexpensive gifts. He prefers
branded things, even those he doesn’t need. I once gave a Leo friend of
mine a branded, limited-edition lighter (Zippo) for his birthday and
his eyes lit up with a smile so bright. His first words of delight were
“Taena, ang mahal nito! Thanks ha!”. He proceeded to proudly show all
his other friends his new branded lighter. See, they feel very
important if you are willing to spend so much money and time on them.
Also, nakakatuwa ang Leo kasi pwede mo silang lokohin, kantyawan,
pagtawanan, kutyahin…. stuffs that other guys will be really pikon
about. Huwag na wag mo lang silang de-dedmahin… as in, parang mortal
sin para sa kanila na ma-dedma sila.

—————————————————-

Virgo Guy (August 22 - September 23) Chivalrous Prude

This
guy is a gentleman, chivalrous and has conservative beliefs to match.
He is also very vain and thinks that cosmetics surgery in men is not
unheard of. He’s usually handsome with a great sense of humor. He stays
away from loud people as a rule but provides the “decent balance” in a
group where boisterous people are predominant. He is often mistaken as
gay for his vanity, but the numerous of girls who are after him think
otherwise. He believes that guys should woo a girl and not the other
way around. For all his conservative beliefs, though, he rarely goes
out for a long time with a girl who seems dumb and all-beauty. He often
falls in love with a girl who has brains more than beauty. This trait
may also be related with the fact that he will not go out with someone
“prettier” than him. Just his equal in brains and beauty is enough. He
is practical and will only spend enough to satisfy. He is secretly very
insecure and trends in fashion, technology and even science amaze him.
Prudence is the key word with him and he will not be able to sleep when
he thinks he did something improper during the day.

In Love:
He will be the perfect guy to bring to the salon with you in a date. He
will not feel uncomfortable and may even astound you with how much he
knows about wrinkle creams and facial washes. He likes to pamper a girl
but will deliberately ignore a girl when she becomes too demanding of
his time and finances.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Always look
and smell your best when in a date with him. Trim your fingernails and
keep the nail polish to a minimum or at least in a tasteful color na
hindi mukhang slut-ish. If you feel like burping, farting or picking
your nose, do it when he’s not looking or magpigil na lang maski
ikamatay mo na ung kati. He will never forget the image in his mind of
you picking your nose or the sound of your burp. He may laugh with you
for a while but deep inside, he’s cringing “eeww!”.

Libra Guy (September 24 - October 23) Princely Procrastinator

This
is the most charming of all the male signs. He will get you comfortable
fast with his soft-sounding voice and melodious laughter. He will
usually have dimples, whether on the face or elsewhere. He will be very
friendly, but too much familiarity turns him off. He has numerous
acquaintances and few close friends, but if he throws a party, everyone
is invited, even the most distant friends of friends of friends. He
prefers to think about a decision long and hard before he has to make
it. He will consider scenarios upon scenarios in his mind, up to a
point that he will refuse to make a concrete stand because he can’t go
one way and discard the other points to consider. Like the female
counterpart, he is capable of conversation that brings new ideas to the
table. His powers of concentration are immeasurable, but be wary that
the harder he worked, the longer he needs to sleep afterwards. Sleep
and rest is sacred to this sign and he often pretends to be asleep or
resting just so you wouldn’t disturb him. For all his appreciation of
constant contact with friends and family, this guy will turn off his
cellphone or take the landline off the hook while he rests. This is
what I call his “alone mood”, the time when he is acutely aware of his
surroundings and will rather lie quietly or submerge himself in a book
for a long time rather than deal with the real world. Besides these
occasional bouts of anti-social behavior, he is the most entertaining
talker who will argue his point endlessly but still keep you spellbound
by his voice and his smile.

In Love: Don’t expect this
guy to understand your contradicting behaviour. One example is when he
asks if you’re ok, and you reply “ok lang ako”. He will take it na ok
ka lang talaga but will be slightly confused as to why you’re still
frowning or still don’t want to eat. He will not spend his mental
energy figuring out the reasons behind the reasons why you’re in a bad mood. He will ask you for an explanation only once, and then he will move on.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
My experience with Librans taught me not to expect him to run after me
when it was I who declared that the relationship is over. He will be
able to forget a girl insultingly fast. If you bring him in a place
where he has to make endless choices before he places his order (i.e.
Starbucks), restrain him when he feels like throttling the barista.
Better yet, decide what you’re getting then ikaw na ang magsabi sa
kanya kung ano ang ok na pwede nyang i-try. Spare him the agony of
making choice after choice after choice. Also, if the courtship has
gone on long enough, the girl should be the one to make the final stand
for the relationship already, or else it will never happen.

——————————————–

Scorpio Guy (October 24 - November 22) The Sexy Stalker

The
moment he declares that his birthday is in late October or November, an
inexplicable chill envelops your heart as if you’re afraid for some
reason. One physical trait unique to a Scorpio Guy is his eyes, like
two dark pools of emotion that you cannot interpret, like he actually
reads you. The only indication that you hurt him with something you
said is a split second blinking of the eyes or changing of the facial
expression. When you miss this split-second show of raw emotion, you
will never see it again. His face is like granite and will even laugh
with you as if he wasn’t affected … but be wary of the affable façade
because inside his mind, he is brewing his revenge. There are 3 kinds
of Scorpio guys according to Goodman: The Sinister Snake, the Grey
Lizard and the Killer Eagle. The difference between the 3 has something
to do with the way they deal with the molten magma of raw passion
inside them when they get offended. When someone deliberately tried to
hurt him in any way, the Snake responds by silently and patiently
working behind the scenes to set up the offender’s downfall, and when
the time is ripe, he will secretly laugh and watch as his enemy slowly
writhes in pain with the poison he planted. The Eagle will respond in
the most straightforward means, striking suddenly, swooping down on the
offender’s neck and inflicting pain instantly. The Grey Lizard is the
most woeful of all Scorpios because he will point the direction of his
hurt inwards to himself, resulting in self pity, and ultimately, self
destruction. But there’s hope for the Grey one, as long as he keeps his
perspective despite his personal pain, for he has the potential to
transform himself from the ashes like a Phoenix and rebuild his pride
eventually.

In Love: It’s funny how most good girls are
attracted to the brooding bad boy. Is it the mystery that he seems to
keep or the enigma that makes these girls curious? Nonetheless, this
guy will not target a girl needlessly, for fear of rejection. But if a
girl suddenly shows even the slightest signs of attraction, he will
respond with a persistence that is unshakeable and unceasing until he
gets her. This guy will love you forever once he had a relationship
with you. Even if it ended disastrously, he will still remember you
fondly after 20 years. He’s the most boyish of all the signs, which
contradicts his volatile nature. Like the girl counterpart, he will
love you and stay loyal to you, no matter how many times he gets
tempted to leave you. This one’s a keeper.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Don’t flirt with this guy if you plan to just to tease him, you may get
more than you bargained for. He may glance at you directly one time and
say “ang taba mo” and then another time he may say “baduy mo pumorma”….
but despite his apparent nastiness he will look at you and treat you
like the most beautiful girl in the world in bed every night, all night
long. Kailangan malakas loob mo kung Scorpio ang BF mo, at dapat hindi
ka madaling masindak.

———————————————————–

Sagittarius guy (November 23 - December 22) The Daredevil

This
guy loves to laugh and considers himself very witty and funny. The
amusing part is, he’s usually off the punchline and his jokes are often
double-edged. This is well accepted by his friends because he dishes
them out with a pizzaz that invites laughter, even those directed at
him. At his best, he is hilarious. At his worst, he is fault-finding.
He walks like he’s always going someplace very important. The one thing
closest to his heart, other than you might be a pet, as this guy loves
animals and will go to immeasurable lengths to save a sick dog or stray
cat. His secret obsession might be speed, as he loves things fast-paced
and dislikes slow people. The more volatile Sagittarians will almost
always be on a car or bike. He is considered the life of the party, and
no matter how tasteless his jokes are or how tactless he seems, people
will still be laughing in appreciation. I have yet to meet a Sag who
can take a personal critique graciously, even if they’re experts at
pointing out the faults of others. For them, they’re cool, and no
matter how much you find fault in them, they will never believe you. He
likes to live life in the edge and he gets bored with cautious
environments. You have to wonder if your Sagittarian boyfriend is
really a stuntman who’s just pretending to be a grounded guy. They pack
in the energy of a nuclear power plant, don’t get tired easily and they
will take risks that most sane people will not even dream of taking

In Love:
Even if the girl doesn’t seem to like him at first, he will risk
rejection just to try and get you. Even of the odds are against him
(like when a girl is already in another relationship), he won’t back
down, the same as he doesn’t back down on a dare. Your relationship
will be a whirlwind of emotions and fast-paced activities that may
involve a myriad of sports and hobbies. He isn’t shy in showing his
love for you and will declare it at every chance.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When pointing out his mistakes, make it sound like a suggestion so that
he doesn’t feel the need to be defensive. When you suggest things to
him, he has the option to take it or not.

———————————————————–

Capricorn Guy (December 23 - January 20) The Ultra-Dependable Stone Icon

He
is calm and collected, won’t get rattled easily and will usually be
strict in implementing his rules. With this guy as your BF, rules and
regulations must be abided by and followed to the letter. Although he
seems stony and shows no emotion, even during extreme fights, this does
not mean he doesn’t feel any. See, the fact that he is unable to
express himself emotionally is more of a dilemma to him than to you. He
makes up for his emotional unavailability by being the most dependable
boyfriend in the world. He picks you up daily, won’t scrimp on feeding
you and will always remind you to take care of yourself when he’s not
around, which is rare. He hates vulgarity and would try to reform you
at once if your past behavior was not up to his standards. For him
there’s a proper time for everything… for making love, making jokes,
going out and staying at home. However, the good thing about him is he
won’t be strict forever. These guys seem to grow younger and smile more
often as the years go by. He becomes more open to fun as he mellows
down and takes things less seriously. He’s the perfect guy to introduce
to your parents as he will talk about his plans for the future as if he
really has been planning it for a long time now. It is rare to see this
guy in the bottom of the corporate ladder for a long time. He is
tenacious and ambitious, will take everything from insults to menial
odd-jobs to prove his worth to the company. He is capable of reaching
the top of any industry he chooses just because his solid and
dependable approach to work will get the attention of the big bosses.

In Love:
At first, this guy seems generous and will shower you with gifts and
expensive dates. As he gets more and more serious with you, he will
start to show signs of being a tight-wad (kuripot). This is not because
he’s losing love for you, it just means that he has started to look
forward into your future together, and has already been planning
finances and how to make your life comfortable when you raise a family.
He may not hold your face romantically under the moon all the time and
write love poems like a true poet, but he will be able to provide for
you and your future children better than any of those other foolhardy,
emotional and reckless guys you went out with.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Maski hindi sya ganun ka-lambing, kelangan lambingin mo sya parati. He
is always worried that you may not be able to understand him and love
him as he is. He always needs to be inspired so that he can work harder
for your future. He puts family first all the time and won’t run from
responsibility.

——————————————————–

Aquarius Guy (January 21 - February 19) Looney Fashion Victim

Curiosity
might have killed the cat, but it certainly made him fall for you. It
doesn’t matter if you’re less than perfect in appearance, he will
venture out to dissect you and your personality under a microscope.
When he’s through analyzing you and his curiosity is satisfied, he will
still love you, but in a manner that is more friendly than romantic.
This guy may dress weirdly. This is brought on partly by his refusal to
conform to the current fashion trends, and partly because he thinks
it’s the way he should dress. He took care in picking his clothes and
follows his own original style. This guy is eccentric, sometimes to
outrageous degrees. He may space out during a conversation, just
because something in that conversation triggered a mental adventure
that he’d rather not share with anyone, lest they be shocked or think
he’s crazy. Perhaps he is a little bit on the looney side, but for him,
that’s normal and perhaps thinks that it’s the other way around; that
the whole world is looney and he’s the only sane person living in it.
He is also a genius, and his genius borders on the insane. He is a
humanitarian and won’t let other people suffer when he can do something
about it. His ideas are usually never-heard of and he’s quite proud of
his ability to innovate schemes that seems too crazy to work, but they
do. Any form of restriction and emotional suffocation will have him
running from you fast.

In Love: He will let you have
your way most of the time, just to avoid confrontations and arguments.
See, when you don’t argue, he is free to think of other things. His
imagination brings him to places that no one else has ever been in, and
this originality will show in his sexual performance as well as date
choices. He won’t force you to believe everything he says, but he will
not let you bind him into your idea of a perfect boyfriend.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When talking to him and he suddenly talks about something that’s
completely out of topic, the best reply would be an amazed “Ooowws?”,
rather than a sarcastic “d-uh?”. Don’t make the mistake of calling him
weird when he goes to a date wearing mismatched clothing or he will
make sure that the date becomes hell for you. Better yet, compliment
his unique appearance. If you really can’t stand it, be resourceful in
making him put on a jacket or changing his shirt to something that you
just bought from a store.

Pisces Guy (February 20- March 20) Inspired Dreamer

When
you meet him for the first time, he instantly seems adorable to you.
Like a puppy waiting for adoption, he looks at you as if he’s imploring
you to bring him home. He won’t be a brat but will be a needy child
wanting reassurance of love all the time. When he tells stories, the
characters and plots become animated, as if you’re watching a
full-length movie or play right there in front of you. There’s no
indication in his twikling eyes whether his stories are just imagined
or if some parts were emphasized to artistically big proportions for
entertainment. This guy will voluntarily serve you in any way he can,
and he will be thoughtful when there are occasions that need to be
celebrated. After years of relationship, you’d be surprised how much
detail he will still remember of your first date and what you wore
then. This is a very sensitive guy and will float away from you with a
slight smile and no explanation at all when you said something to hurt
his fragile ego. When inspired with an optimistic partner, there are no
limits as to how far he will excel in his career or in his future. But
at the same time, when people around him continuously feed their
negative energies to him, the depth of his depression is limitless. His
mercy knows no boundaries and will almost always forgive the gravest
mistake. Though Pisces is not really a possessive sign, my experience
with this guy tells otherwise. If the relationship is on the shallow
waters, he will not mind sharing you with others, and will even
jokingly ask you with a smile if you have a crush on his best friend.
But if he becomes very attached to you and the relationship heads
deeper, the gentle arowana turns into the Greath White Sharkey who will
ruthlessly cut the competition and you also, if you show signs of
preferring other guy over him.

In Love: This guy is
sensitive to your moods and will not be embarrassed to cry his heart
out I front of you. If during your relationship you told him about your
love for Haagen-Das ice cream, he will go to the Haagen-Das shop alone
and eat ice cream when he misses you or when he’s still hung up on you.
He secretly has a song for you in his mind which makes him emotional
everytime he hears it over the radio. His choices of gifts are
sentimental and whimsical rather than practical.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
When you’ve said yes to this guy, it means you’ve decided to adopt him.
He will slave over your needs for as long as he can, even when he’s
bone tired. It is your responsibility to make sure na hindi naman niya
napapabayaan ang sarili nya dahil sa yo. Keep his sentimental letters
in a nice box and show it to him during your anniversary. He likes to
reminisce about past dates with you so always make sure that you keep a
remembrance or a token whenever you’re dating in a nice location, and
also show these to him during your monthsary/anniversary.

Disclaimer: While most of the traits listed under each sign may be
shown by all women in general, I chose those traits that are dominent
for each sign. These are based on my previous readings, experiences,
and people that i met and interacted with so far. While my writings may
have been influenced by the late great astrologer, Linda Goodman, most
ideas and examples cited are mine.

———————————————

Aries Girl (March 21 - April 20) - The Dominatrix

This
girl will always want you to ask her opinion before making decisions.
She’s women’s liberation in the flesh. The fastest way to get her to be
interested with you is if you express interest in her. In starting a
conversation, you must always start by giving a very brief introduction
of yourself and then proceed asking her about what she does or what she
likes to do. She prefers to talk about herself, but she expects you to
listen. She may get impatient when you can’t make a decision where you
want to go during a date. Secretly, she might like making the decision,
but she will resent you that you didn’t make it sooner and wasted (her)
time.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Huwag mag-aalala kung
mukhang siya lang ang nagku-kuwento, mas ok sa kanya un, yun lang,
don’t dare space out while she’s talking or she will get very, very
offended.

——————————————–

Taurus Girl (April 21 - May 21) The Homie girl

This
girl starts smiling genuinely when you start talking about your family
and bring up sentimental stories of your childhood. She loves looking
at family pictures and will be very flattered when you invite her to
dinner with your family. This girl will eat with gusto with you. She
will not pretend to be demure or delicate in front of good food. She
will not get angry easily and loves a practical joke. In her mind, she
fits in easily with your family or anywhere you might take her, for
that matter. She likes being introduced to your friends and being
treated as a part of the barkada immediately. She’s grounded enough to
know her limitations and tends to stay within her circle of comfort.
When you take her somewhere out of her comfort zone, she becomes
conscious, defensive and uncomfortable with herself… as she usually
does when faced with situations or environments where in she does not
“belong”.

Polgara’s QuickTip: It will be nice for you to
bring this girl to smorgasbords and eat-all-you-can restaurants. You
will get your money’s worth as well as pogi points on taste. Just be
sure that it’s a nice relaxing place na comfortable yung chairs. Itong
girl na ito mas gusto ung kabagay nya na lalake. She feels very hurt
when she’s “OP” in a group.

————————————————

Gemini Girl (May 22 - June 21) The Changing Winds

She
adapts to changes faster than most people. She embraces change and
hates permanence. Example, she is no longer a student, she graduated
and found a new job. She happened to find a work where the culture is
different from that she’s used to. You should expect that she will show
those changes to you and therefore, cause concern on your part. Don’t
worry, she is still the girl you fell in love with and who loves you.
Just try your best to adjust to the “new her”, everytime she chooses to
change. If you refuse to change with her, and you stubbornly cling to
your old beliefs and environment, she will just keep on changing and
changing up to a point that she will no longer see you as a part of her
life. No amount of nagging and resentment on your part will change her
back, if she’s set on self-improvement and development.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
You know the expression “nagbago yata ang ihip ng hangin”? Madalas
mangyayari ito pag Gemini ang GF mo. Huwag magpataasan ng pride with
this girl, impossibleng manalo.

————————————————-

Cancer Girl (June 22 - July 22) The Sentimental Sister

This
girl will keep your letters close to her bedside so she may read them
over and over. She laughs easily and infectiously, so your corny jokes
will be gratified with sincere laughter, even if she is in fact
laughing at you. She might be vague about certain things and often
forget several minor details. However, she will not forget your
anniversary/monthsary so you shouldn’t, too. Flowers mean more to this
girl than those under other birth signs. Beware of moods that swing
from looney to sulking in the extreme. She’s touchy-feely and won’t
mind a lot of PDA. Crowds are ok, but what she really wants is to
snuggle with you someplace quiet and whisper sweet nothings to each
other. She might balk a little when you give even a slight indication
that you’re broke during your date and that you really cannot afford a
sunset-view dinner at a plush hotel’s rooftop for now. When talks of
money come in, she’s still cool and sweet, but you can almost hear the
"cha-ching" of cash registers inside her brain.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
This is the only sign that is widely accepted and proven to be affected
by the changes of the moon. So pag bilog ang buwan, tantyahin mo na
yung mood niya. Pag masayahin at baliw-in sya nung araw na yun… alam
na. Pag inis-in at bad trip sya, sorry na lang.

————————————————————-

Leo Girl (July 23 -August 21) Her Royalty, The Queen

This
girl is a lioness, for sure. She expects to be treated royally. From
the best hair-do’s to the best phone accessories, she just won’t settle
for anything less. Like the male counterpart, this girl is absolutely
100% high-maintenance. But in exchange for all the lavish gifts she
expects, she will be the Queen you will want all your friends to meet.
She is deliciously submissive as long as all her criteria are met. In
any group situation, she will be the one holding her head high, and
even if she’s wearing something very simple like a pair of jeans and a
t-shirt, she’s a stand out because of her queenly bearing (and her
branded bag). She doesnt mind if the place you’re taking her is not
romantic in the least (e.g. ATC or Rustans) as long as it doesnt mean
mingling with those she thinks are less than her. She may go slumming
sometimes when times are hard, but she will burn your camera if you so
much as take a picture of her eating "fishballs na nga lang muna" for
lunch just because she’s short on budget at the moment. She does not
like strangers who approach her out of the blue and start getting
familiar (i.e. feeling close) with her. No one cuts a fresh remark with
bristling sarcasm like this girl.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Expect this girl to be very brand conscious. Make sure din na kasama
sya sa mga parties mo, kahit simpleng inuman lang sa bahay, because she
can host it like she would a 200-people soiree, with grace and
elegance. Yung mga bisita mo feeling nila nasa exclusive party sila sa
galing nyang mag-asikaso ng bisita. Pero pag presko ang dating mo,
tingin pa lang nya para ka nang tinampal.

————————————————————-

Virgo Girl (August 22 - September 23) Miss Manners

This
girl seems shy and overly conscious of her appearance. She’s timid at
first then gently opens up to close friends. She hates latecomers and
is punctual to a fault. She doesn’t like to impose on people, and will
always ask very politely if she needs something. Her major turn-ons are
intelligent conversation and street-smartness in a guy. She abhors guys
who seem to spend too much on useless things. She will be happier to
receive gifts that she can use than those that look nice but
impractical. She feels uneasy around boisterous and tactless people,
because they are her exact opposites. She feels flustered when caught
doing improper things or thinking malicious thoughts, And, she will
deftly change the subject when the topics seem inappropriate for decent
people. She also feels the compulsion to prepare the exact amount when
paying fare in the jeepney or anywhere, just because she doesnt want to
inconvenience herself or the other party. She’s casual and practical to
a fault.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Even if this girl is not a
“virgin” literally, she will still blush with embarassment when people
talk about intimate things in her presence… even green jokes. So
careful lang when taking her out, even if she goes “all the way" with
you in your date, don’t make the mistake of implying that she’s
easy-to-get kahit pabiro. Masasaktan sya at ibe-break ka niya kasi sa
isip nya, you’re treating her like a S-L-U-T.

Libra Girl (September 24 - October 23) The Witty Witch

She
can dish out remarks that everyone eats up. Her comments are valued as
they provide several sides to an issue. Her conversation is as
priceless as her smile. She can definitely get any conversation going
with a guy, and her intelligence makes even the most chauvinistic of
the males feel spellbound. This girl is incredibly supportive of her
boyfriend, and will point out mistakes and loopholes gently… in a way
that the guy will think “why didn’t I think of that?” and not get
offended. Punctuality is not her strongest point, but her smile and
very reasonable excuse will make your impatience dissipate into thin
air… those, and her impeccable choice of date-clothes and accessories
that you notice at once when she arrives.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
This girl likes to take a nap. Most Librans need naps as other people
may need merienda in the afternoon. So if she says, “idlip ako ha”, she
probably means it. The worst thing you can do is deprive her of this
nap by being pilyo. That’s the fastest way to get her cranky.

—————————————————–

Scorpio Girl (October 24 - November 22) The Seeress

There’s
no use lying to this girl, as she is like a walking lie-detector test
to any guy she’s in love with. You may think she’s overly paranoid or
jealous, but truth is, she loves you so much that being disloyal to her
(even in small things) cause her physical pain. She is the girl who
will leave everything behind to be with you, even if it means hardships
and suffering on her part. The hardest thing for her to do is leave
you, and everything else is secondary and relatively easy for her to
do. This much intensity in love and fidelity may scare some guys away,
but that guy who is secure enough to let her love him the only way she
knows how will reap the fruits of everlasting loyalty. And yes, only
girls under this sign have the ability to kill for the one they love.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
She notices EVERYTHING. Yung mga times na parang dedma sya pag
nagkakamali ka, hindi ka talaga completely nakalusot nun, pinagbigyan
ka lang nya. Pag inulit mo pa (dahil akala mo nakalusot ka), prepare
for a war that you have no hopes of winning.

——————————————————-

Sagittarius Girl (November 23 - December 22) The Optimistic Prankster

This
girl will generally always look at the bright side of things. She will
believe in you and you will be her champion. She’s also the girl to
bring when you’re going to rowdy parties because she fits right in.
She’s a jokester who will not humiliate you in front of your friends by
being offended by pranks. She’s sunshine personified when you’re
together, never a dull moment. She may sometimes choose her career over
you, but she’s always sure that you will understand. Her exuberance is
never-ending and her excitement infectious. The only way to wipe that
excited smile off her face is when you point out her flaws… those that
she conveniently ignores. Even so, her smile comes back brightly and
optimistically thinks that you’re just joking.

Polgara’s Quick Tip:
Hindi sya KJ. In the spirit of fun she will go along with jokes and
will laugh harder than everyone else. Pero pikon sya pag seryosong
usapan, tapos brining-up mo ung mga faults or pagkukulang nya. Isa-isa
nyang ide-deny yung mga yun… worse, magagalit sya sa yo at pwede ka
pang kasuhan ng libel.

——————————————————-

Capricorn Girl (December 23 - January 20) Miss No-Nonsense

This
girl probably has the highest standards among all the Signs. She might
not tell you directly, but she secretly takes note of things that you
tell her on where you studied, what your parents do for a living, what
you do for a living, and what your plans are for the future. While
she’s cordial to everyone, she will veer away from slackers, and those
who she (according to her standards) sees as losers. As a girlfriend,
she seems strict and uncompromising. But considering her meticulous
insistence that you eat on time, always take your vitamins and fussing
about your over-all hygiene and appearance…. you just know that she
loves you, even if she shows it more through actions than words. She’s
also very protective and proud of her family. If her BF makes her
choose between him or her family, chances are, any hopes of a lasting
relationship is gone. She will stick by her family through thick or
thin. Having this girl for a GF or wife will mean loving and living
with in-laws for the rest of your life, even if they’re as bearable as
the fires of hell.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: She is mom.
Maasikaso, ma-kalinga, maalaga…. pero napaka-strikto. Like you would do
to your mom, remind her every once in a while to relax and take a
break. Give her a back massage to relieve her tension. Also, when you
meet her family for the first time, make sure you say something nice
about her dad or her brother (kahit na nangingilabot ka sa angas ng bro
nya or sa pagka-mataasin ng dad nya).

———————————————————-

Aquarius Girl (January 21 - February 19) Best Friend

At
first you can’t believe how this bright-eyed, smart girl noticed you.
Simple. She’s very curious about you. In her mind, she wants to know
all about you, how you think, how you function, what makes you laugh…
the list goes on. She is unbelievably tolerant to your faults and
doesn’t expect you to go out of your way to impress her. She loves you
for YOU. Finally!!! Here’s a girl who understands you, and who acts
like a true friend. But wait…. while she gives you freedom to do your
thing, she gives a brief nod and a vague comment whenever you try to
restrict her in any way. The thing is, she keeps you on a long leash,
and she expects you to afford her the same treatment. If there’s one
thing that she loves more than you, it’s her freedom to think and do as
she likes. Don’t worry, you’re free to do and think as you like, too.
She is your friend, and she will always understand. That’s why it’s
very hard to leave her or the relationship with her… because you’re not
completely sure that you two are IN a relationship. Is it really just
friendship?

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Hindi sya selosa sa mga
friends mo na babae, so nagtataka sya kung bakit ikaw selos nang selos
sa mga guy friends nya. If you ask her if she really loves you, she
might reply by reading to you a part of the Beatitudes… “Love is
patient. Love is kind. Love is never jealous nor resentful…”

—————————————————-

Pisces Girl (February 20- March 20) Your GradeSchool Valentine

This
is the most feminine of the signs. The term girly-girl applies to
Pisces girls anywhere. However, the Pisces girl you meet now may not be
the same one you get to know after a few months of friendship. Why?
This is because a Pisces girl will always put up a defense-wall first
before she shows you her true colors… only when she’s convinced that
she can trust you with her true personality. She will deliberately
mislead you into thinking that she’s tough and nasty, when the truth is
she’s very emotional and sympathetic. She has a tendency to put a guy
in a pedestal and call him her hero. She’s your personal fan club who
will prod you gently, never demanding much, until you reach your true
potential. She will always see beauty, potential and goodness, even in
those that people regard as hopeless cases. In fact, the girl who fell
in love with the barkada’s “outcast” or “loser” may be a Pisces girl.
She will nurture the guy’s bruised ego until he gains confidence enough
to strike back at his attackers… then, she will stand by the sidelines
and cheer him all the way.

Polgara’s Quick Tip: Hindi ka
matitiis ng girl na ito lalo na pag nagpa-awa ka ng todo.. Eto ang mga
girls na nadadaan sa iyak at maka-awa. She will almost always support
the underdog. Downside, if she feels that you don’t need her anymore
and your ego has bloated enough that you forget to even glance at her…
her walls come back up, more solid than before. So that you get
confused as to where that sensitive, sympathetic girl went… and who is
this B!tch who took her place?

I’ve been voted by a number of curious cats to be in the hot seat in the community boards of pRO Chaos. Here are a few of the highlights (Questions and Answers) that i’d love to share with everyone:

(Interviewer: Briar Rose part 1)

1. What is the most striking about being the famous Polgara of Philippine Ragnarok Online?
-
I’m probably one of the few RL girls in RO who don’t mind to be thought
of as a guy. It helps my game, and as far as pRO is concerned…. i’m
all about the game and the people inside it.

2. What is in this forum site that you like the most?
- Love Hut. It makes posters seem human.

3. What has been your most rewarding experience as a member of this forum site and being an online gamer?
- I would never have had the opportunity to meet the most fascinating and impressive people if not for this game.

4. What is the hardest part about it?
-
Sacrificing a lot of RL stuffs. Losing some RL friends. Drawing lines
to people who would have lasted a lot longer in my life if I met them
under RL conditions.

5. You’ve collaborated with so many people over the years. Who have been your favorite people to work with?
-
Leic. I’ve usually always been Alpha female in any place i chose to be
in. But i know an Alpha male if i saw one. This is one Alpha male i
would gladly bow to. Born leader. 
- MarlouDaManiac. No conversation with him is ever boring. He is very humble and generous to a fault.
- [restless]. All heart. All guy. All-everything.

6. Are there any members here you haven’t had the chance to know but would like be friends with?
Salleh. I met him in my first guild but never really knew him RL.

7.
Where is the most surprising place you’ve heard you alias “Polgara” and
did you informed the people around that it was you they are talking
about?
- RWC 2004 (Folk Arts Theater) while lining up to buy corn dogs. People were talking about blaksmiths and my name was mentioned among a group just behind me. I just turned around and gave them a smile.

———————————————————–

(Interviewer: Crossquo)

Crossquo)

1. can u post your RL pics:
no
not here. my RL pic is at my YM. My guildmates here know what i look
like as my pics are on at our site. Sorry, privacy-related reasons.

2.sabi mo may anak ka na…pano mo nababalance yung RO,study saka family
I
work at home (I graduated na), home-based, internet-based yung nature
ng job ko so mostly I’m just in front of a PC. Maliit pa yung baby so
sa ngayon madali pa mag-alaga while working. Pag tulog na siya, libreng
libre na akong mag-work. Mahirap, pero kaya naman. Sanay na.

3.anung guild ang pinakaiinisan mo?
UT
(yung present). This guild is perhaps the original "bad boy" in pRO
politics, before the founders and pioneers retired. I’m so sad and
disappointed with how the current guild performed in RPC 2006. Alam
kong kasama sa foundation ng faction namin ang guild na ito, so I could
only hope they play a better role in the next tournaments.

4.kung magiging presidente ka ng pilipinas ano una mong project?
I-develop
ang lahat ng railways sa Pilipinas, most especially the ones that go
from the city to the small towns. Hindi lang basta develop, gawing
state-of-the-art pa. Historically, walang first world country na
nagpabaya sa mga railways nila. It would encourage technology and
development to move from city to province, and raw resources to move
from province to city. 

5.bukod sa MS anu pa favorite mong job?
Hmm.
Ahm…. wala akong ibang nilaro except MS for the past years, pero now
nagugustuhan ko ang Star Gladiator dahil sa kakaibang role play na
dinu-dulot nya sa imagination ko. Reminds me of the days I spent in the
past dwelling on the occult and psychic stuff. I guess, i miss reading
the stars and tarot.

6.ano mas gusto mo jollibee or mcdonald?at bakit?
Mcdonalds. Mas masarap yung chicken at yung fries.

7.sa tingin mo anu ung naging past life mo kung naniniwala ka man..
Naniniwala
ako na recycled soul ako. If i were to meditate on my past life based
on my personality, needs and earthly urges, I think I would have been…

A shaman priestess in an exotic African tribe.
A woman lieutenant in Alexander the Great’s Army.
One of Niccolo Macchiavelli’s girlfriends (if he’s straight)
A favorite concubine in an Arabian Prince’s big harem.

8.pinaka ayaw mong job sa RO…
Wiz. Makakatulog ako in the middle of siege, just casting LOV and SG.

9.pinaka favorite mong headgear…
Tiara.
For sentimental reasons. This is the first nice headgear anyone has
ever given me in RO. I was levelling alone in CT4 and an FS priest kept
buffing me when he saw me. I said "naiinggit ako sa mga naka-tiara"
when we chatted through PM and he said "sige tara sa pront i’ll buy you
one".

10.pinaka favorite mong tv station..
AXN and Lifestyle Network

11.tutal BS bio ka nakapag disect(eto ba tawag dun?un binibiyak ung katawan) ka na ba ng tao?
Hindi pa sa tao. Rabbits and turtles, cats, rats and mice and frogs.

12.ano wish mo this coming year?
Sana umasenso ang Phils.

—————————————————————-

(Interviewer: Zhendreti)

RL
1. What have you learned from this game thay to were able to use in real life situations.
-I’ve
learned that teamwork plays a big role in any competition. A team must
be led by the person with the strongest personality or else it will
crumble. Everyone in the team is important and no one has the right to
make the other leave the team, just because of petty personal reasons.

2. How do you explain to your acquintances your addiction to this game? of course
some of them might think RO gamers as childish or downright weird.
I
used to party RL with my girl friends, but at the middle of the
drinking and the dancing, i’d suddenly miss RO and tell them so. They’d
laugh and call me a big geek. Then i told them something that got them
thinking … I said…. "Can you find another place in the world where
guys are more abundant than the bubbles in your beer? It’s raining men
in online games, sisters, and i’m swimming in the puddles. Eat your
hearts out."
 
3. Other than RO, do you have other hobbies? if your not in RO what thighhs do you do?
I’m
into fortune telling, occult, tarot and astrology. I’m also into
communicating and mingling with people who can speak French (so i can
practice it).

In Game
1. Give a situation where you were so proud of your WS/BS.
In
the first EB of UT-Aftermath, gigler introduced me to the crowd over
the microphone. He said "Eto kilala nyo na siguro sa RO pero ngayon nyo
lang nakita. Si Polgara." Everyone was clapping and whistling in
amazement (probably because they weren’t expecting me to be a girl RL
and have a character like her). I was so proud of my alter ego that
time that i almost burst out in tears right there and then.   

2. When do use usually go OL? How many hours a day?
I used to be on 24/7 when i lived alone in pasay. Now, I’d go OL whenever i’d siege  lang.

3. What’s with the BS that made it so attractive to your playing style?
It
can make big money out of nothing. It is the most complex job in RO
because you can play it several ways… as a vendor, as a forger, as a
fighter or as a support main man during team battle. Besides, it is the
best looking class in RO IMHO. I can just sit in my PC looking at my
char vending for hours coz she looks so hot. Especially when fighting.

———————————————————————

(Inerviewer: Snip[er Angel)
In-Game
1. What makes Polgara a unique character?
She
earned her reputation as a bad-<word filtered!>, trash-talking
chixilog in game, but she's driven by an RL girl who is malambing and
playful.

2. What is your favorite restorative item?
Yggberries and Yggseeds. And right now, strawberries, yum.

3. What is your first card?
Drainliar card. lol.

4. What matters to you more? decent equipment or playing skills?
Playing
skills. Anyone can php bosscards and equips, but not everyone can play
the skills well. And on a more current note, boss items and equips may
be duped, but RL playing skills and devotion to the game can never be
duped.

5. If Cart Termination will be a ranged skill but will cost twice per skill use, will you go for it? Why or why not?
Yeah!!!! Zeny is easy to come by if you set your heart in getting it.

For Real
1. Is the glass half empty or half full?
Half-full. Optimism rox.

2. Are you a deadline-driven person?
Yes. My routine is very tick-tock. I set deadlines to everything, and I try to meet them.

3.
If NASA needs a woman to be flown to Venus for 7days and luckily you
are the chosen one, what are you going to do first after you come back
to Earth?
Take a bath in earth water. Teach people how to speak the Venusian language. Make a press con, including one with Kris Aquino.

4. What scares you most?
Not being in control of things. Being enclosed figuratively and literally.

5. What movie genre do you enjoy the most?
Adventure, fantasy, hard-core action....

------------------------------------------------------------

(Interviewer: Hikaru Mithcristien)
(Hikaru Mithcristien)

First of all, I'd like to thank you very much for being my 'support-system' when I lost my mother.
You're welcome

1)
In the very few months (yet very meaningful for both of us) that we've
been talking to each other, what am I to you? Have I been significant
in your life?
Ikaw ay naging tapat na kaibigan, karamay at
kakampi. Seriously. You have been an inspiration to me in RO to do
better with my game. IRL, your love for your family has motivated me to
love my own parents and siblings more.

2) In our few months of being very close to each other, what can you assess in our relationship with each other?
You're my opposite. I learned a lot from your experiences and i know you've
learned a lot from mine.

Am I being illogical at times? You can never be illogical even if you tried. You're very careful about how you deal with people

Am I being very super-sensitive at times? Do I act like a spoiled brat?
Yes. Sometimes.

3) In 5 years, what are you and your boyfriend are planning?
Pave
the way for the development of a really cool and motivated young man...
our son. We promised each other the best teamwork in making this
happen. That includes not letting our own personal idiosyncracies and
habits get in the way of our ultimate goal. 

4) Where are you planning to enroll AJ? And why?
There
is a school near our place where he can get his pre-school diploma.
This is just for getting his certificate, because I and his dad will be
tutoring him anyway. If I can, I want him to study in a good exclusive
school, like LSGH, since most of the guys i met who graduated from this
school (including you) have been the best in anything they put their
hearts in.

5) I know I've offended you a number of times. What is the worst?
When we're both in a bad mood and we impulsively discuss sensitive issues relating to RL and RO.

(Interviewer: Jetlogs)

3. may phobia ka ba? at kung meron, ano ang mga iyon? biggrin.gif
1.
Trapped alone in a building. I was renting a studio-type apartment near
la salle with a friend before I went solo. She was out of town (it was
a weekend, sat morning) and I was alone in a 6-floor building where
most of the tenants are students (who were also away for the weekend).
I got locked inside a 1.5 x 2.5 meter bathroom (it felt a lot smaller
though) after I took a shower. It turns out, the knob in the bathroom
got rusted by shower spray and gave out right at that moment. I
screamed and screamed for around 2-3 hours but the whole building was
empty. Luckily, some maintenance guys were checkin' the plumbing
somewhere inside the next building and they heard me screaming out my
unit number and floor number. You can just imagine them outside the
door figuring out how to break in (naka-bolt), and i was crying,
"Pasukin nyo na 'tong unit, hindi ko na kaya!" They destroyed the glass
in our window to open the door. They managed to do so and they kicked
the door of the bathroom several times to get me out. Inabutan nila ako
nakacurl up and nakaupo sa sahig ing CR dressed only in my towel,
crying my heart out. Until now, I still thank God that the guys that He
sent to save me were God-fearing family men who didn't take advantage
of my situation. If they raped me there, no one at all will be around
to hear it.

2. Pasay City, Libertad area. I was renting
an apartment solo when a gang fight broke out just below my unit out on
the streets, in the middle of the night. It was my habit to keep the
windows open since nasa second floor naman ako and may bolted gate sa
baba, and also because i was claustrophobic already because of
experience #1. My window was sort of facing the street and I was
sleeping in my sala near the window. Suddenly, a weird container came
flying in my window and a  weird smell filled my small apartment.
Nagbatuhan pala ng home-made bombs yung gangs na nag-aaway sa baba, may
nag-ricochet na isa, pumasok sa apartment ko. I wasn't sleeping deeply
so I got up agad, rushed to get the container (which was HOT) and threw
it away again sa balcony.  I heard a small ominous thud as the
container hit the ground. My hands were burned a bit, but at least I
was alive.

---------------------------------------------------------------
(Interviewer: Belledandy-Sama)

(Belledandy-sama)

1. Are you realistic or idealistic?
My viewpoint is idealistic but liberated.

2. Given the chance to direct your own future, what are the things/happenings etc. will you implement?
I
will ban cigarettes from the planet earth. And send the last remaining
tobacco seeds out to space. I'll stand at the foot of the NASA
spacecraft where the seeds are about to be launched and say "Goodbye,
b*tch!!!!"

3. What "caption" will you request to be imbeded in your epitome?(yung sa tombstone)
Herein lies a woman who spent her life making people happy

4. And lastly, what will be the goal/even etc. that will make you feel at ease, satisfied and say I can now die in peace
When I've done my obligations as a daughter and as a mother.

------------------------------------------------------------

(Interviewer: Deeanne)
Deeanne)

1. Are you into witchcraft? (ala lng nagtatarot reading ka kac..)
I was into witchcraft. Just for fun. Some light love spells that I can "uto" my friends about. Hahaha.

2. How did you learn tarot card reading?
My
sister gave me a book and then i bought a tarot deck. Experimented with
it for a while, until people started getting their fortunes told and
some of my "bola" actuallly came true.

3. In-love ka ba ngaun?
I'm in love with life, so that means i'm in love all the time. Pero, yeah i'm in love right now.

4. Are you happy with your life?
Very much. It's going as i planned.

5. Ano pala name ng anak mo?
Ayrsayle
James. The first name is given by his dad (name nung alter ego ng dad
nya, which he invented when he was in high school and is also his in
game name). The second name i gave him myself. We call him AJ all the
time or James (when his dad's not around).

6. Ilan taon na anak mo?
One. Medyo late na din ako nagka-baby.

7. Kung meron kang taong pasasalamatan, sino ito at ano ang mensahe mo para sa kanya?

To God, who never left me, even when i left him.

To Ayrsayle (my best friend) for his seed, and for his devotion as a father to our baby.

To my parents and siblings for a wonderful childhood.

To
my many housemates, landlords and neighbors i met throughout the years
i spent living at different places, thanks for the bedspace, apartment
leases and the company.

To my employer for not firing me even during the time of my RO addiction, kung kelan lagi ako late mag-submit ng trabaho.

To UP Manila for giving me the chance to discover my limitations and strengths.

To
the boyfriends/boylets i met and loved throughout the years for your
time and warmth during my cold days and nights of utter loneliness.

To LUG for leasing RO, which enabled me to make some lifetime connections.

To my small group of girl friends, for understanding me despite my imperfections.

And to him, who makes me smile even at my worst moods. Thank you.

8. Kung meron kang taong hihingian ng tawad, sino ito at ano ang mensahe mo para sa kanya?

To Ayrsayle, I'm sorry for not letting some issues go to rest even when you dont feel like talking about them anymore.

To
those i trashtalked to in game, I'm sorry I didn't consider your
feelings. I just can't stand to lose at anything (even an argument).

To God, whose name i take in vain a lot of times.

To those guys i promised the world to but left in the cold nonetheless, I'm sorry that i can't commit.

To
those guys i hurt for more than they can take, I'm sorry, but you
shouldn't have hurt me first. I'm sorry but I'm really Karma in the
flesh.

9. Kung meron taong nanakit sa iyo, sino ito at ano ang mensahe mo para sa kanya?

To
my first BF. Memories of how you treated me will never be forgiven. I
feel hate! Hate that demands retribution. You are not the boss of me,
you can't keep me down unless you kill me ten times over. Even then,
you can't suppress my spirit and I will haunt you until the end of
time. Sinumpa na kita, at sinusumpa kita ng paulit-ulit. @ssh0le.

10. Ano ang message mo sa mga Ka-guild mo sa Armada?

Dear
Armada. The strongest guild in pRO. And my online family. Thank you for
the fun. May we continue to be loyal to each other and continue to
support our leaders' decisions. Sabi nga ni Pilot, ang bawat ka-Armada
namin no need sweldo yan. Stay strong and carpe diem!

------------------------------------------------------------

(Interviewer: Marts)

(marts)

RO stuff: should be easy enough.smile.gif
1. if you were forced to trade your WS with any other Trans Class which one would it be and why?

Creator. So that I could just leave it to vend while i dream and cry about the WS that i was forced to trade out.

2.
midgard politics isn't as dynamic as iRL politics, there are hardly any
elections for leaders. political structure is mostly an oligarchy of
the founding fathers/mothers (for the sake of being politically
correct. laugh.gif ). do you think that this world has a place for new
leaders?

Yeah, people with initiative to take the politics in
this game to another level. He must be able to face the fact that some
people are really here to play lang, and dont lose sleep thinking about
politics. He must also be ready to face ridicule and walls of disbelief
from people who are "tra-po" (traditional politicians), who are not
open to change. A real maverick who's up to the task will get the
respect he deserves for sure.

3. if you were the one to decide for armada. would you rise to the call of opposition leaders to have a united server?

Yes
and No. Yes, because on a grand and dramatic scale, Chaos must be
united. It would be the ideal ending for the game to some of us who are
looking to retire. No, because the level of mistrust in Chaos is too
deep and wounds too sore for political leaders here to take the merge
as a cohesive thing. The words thrown at each other cannot be undone,
the reactions too varied.

4. how do you perceive other guilds that go up against armada? particularly SoTR?

Carnage.
Bloody carnage. Affront at the nerve to go up against the strongest
guild. bwahaha. Seriously though, total respect. If they're not there,
we wouldnt have a good game. They make WOE fun for me and my guild. It
saddens me that legokidd got banned, and am worried that this might
affect his members because for sure, Chaos is more alive with him in
the game.

5. give me 3 players from chaos who you don't like tell me why.

mostly scammers:
prince[mc21] - if i could be the hand of God, i’d hack this person right now.
the one who copies my name to scam people- F**k you. you dont deserve to play this game.
nothing follows- i like everyone just because they play RO.

6.
what is it about your personality/assets/anything about your RO Alter
Ego which you value the most? it can be an item or something else.

Her
personality. She’s so big in terms of almost RL characteristics. She’s
so tough and bad@SS that her RL gender is so contested about that it
takes some loud proclamation of "I’m a GIRL!!!!" to people to really
convince them. And even then, they’re still not convinced.

7. if you could ban 3 people in RO who would it be? why?
no one really. everyone’s a good addition to the game
Edit: except scammers

—————

Here’s the fun part smile.gif
1. do you have someone in RO that you have a particular attraction to? if so why?

I’m attracted to underdogs, preferably with smith chars. Go figure.

2. if you had to remove one part of your body which one would you take out?

None. I love everything about me

3. if you were God for a day what would you change about men and women?

men would get pregnant, not women

4.
men are like this and like that… same goes for women… everyone
makes generalizations. you’ve gotten to know many men in your lifetime
i presume. which one of those stereotypes have you proven wrong or
realized to be incorrect.

Men are after sex all the time

5. do you like my questions so far? heh.gif

yeah

6. from the way i perceive you, i can say that vanity is your weakness. am i wrong? explain.

wrong.
vanity is my strong point. my weakness is my heart. i feel a lot of
things that i have to encase it in steel a million times over

7.
when i tell you that you’re corny, how do you feel? do you stick to
your own principles or do you succumb in order to please me?

stick to my own. I don’t mind other people’s opinions. I just like it that they notice.

8 how’d you feel when we got to talk the first time? online and on YM? (eto break to)

Cautious. You’re from the other faction, after all

9.
when you called me up on my cel about some "RO stuff", did you really
call me up coz you were so adamant about your skill reset thing that
you needed it or did you just wanna sneak a squeak at how i sounded
like iRL.smile.gif

I was really scrambling to raise zeny to
reset my TK master. Tough luck TKs can’t be reset pala. I didnt want to
sell to people who i proudly told "i dont pHp" to. You sound good
though. There, satisfied?

———————————–
let’s make things tougher. tongue.gif
1.
when you said that you treat every relationship with a guy as some sort
of friendship do you really mean that? don’t you think that you’re
actually afraid of risking things and just playing it safe?

playing
it safe yes. it’s hard to go into a hurting thing, particularly when it
is I who will do the hurting and is most hurt in the process

2. when you think that you’re playin with someone don’t you think that you’re bein
played as well?

Yes, for sure. it’s just a matter of who’s playing the better game

3. do you like me? in what way? why?

Yeah, i like you intellectually. I never have to explain the same thing to you twice

4. when we talk. are you completely honest or are you just saying what i want to hear?

completely honest. i dont know how else to be

LASTLY:
did i just say that ^ coz i’m challenging your ego or did i say it
because i don’t want you to answer if you don’t want to?

You just wanted to mess me up mentally. LOL. Nice try

(Interviewer: Berserkerzcrits)

(Berserkerscritz)

1. Why is Polgara your favorite character in The Belgariad?

She’s the ultimate Alpha female in Eddings’ books

2.
What did you think of the ending of the The Belgariad? Was the problem
of how to kill a God solved logically or believably or do you think a
deus ex machina device was used?

It was solved logically.
They attacked the God’s sense of self, which is the only thing really
that makes someone feel like a god.

3. Do you have other favorite fantasy books? Non-fantasy books?

David Eddings’ Belgariad and Malloreon
The 48 Laws of Power -R. Green

4. Was your first BS banned because it was edited?
No.
I don’t think i would have had the chance to be cleared, if that were
the case. And besides, I don’t have money. Since the trend during that
time was to pay a lot to an IT guy to get in game priviledges, even if
i wanted to,  was saving up for a possible Caesarian operation that
cost more than a plasma tv. I could only think that they pinned the
hacking thingie to someone else so they cleared me. Or they just
assumed that the items i had were fairly traded and decided to give me
another chance. Or that im too much of an adik to be a bot.
Nonetheless, I was too busy and far gone in my pregnancy that time to
really think about it.

5. If you were single and if Strongbone courted you, would you be his girl? How about Leic? Angelo? Salleh? Waukeen? Haha =).
Leic only. I would be honored!!!! Angelo is a good kid, but he can’t handle me.GG

6. Are you a registered voter? If yes, how do you plan on voting this 2007 Elections?
Yeah. We need a change (charter change) haha

7. What is your dream?
To live long enough to see the Phils pay her debt to world bank (which is a bleak hope)

8. What do you think is the purpose of humanity?
To recreate the world

9. Do you believe there is life outside of Earth? Would you want to meet extraterrestial lifeforms?
yes. yeah to learn their language

10. How would you prefer to die, burn or freeze to death?
burn. i’d probably do that in hell na rin naman if i dont clean up my act

11. If you could only live by eating human meat, would you?
yeah. survival.

12. What is your favorite sex position?
starts with the letter D

13. If you could only choose one, would you want your baby to be smart or beautiful?
Smart. Im not too beautiful but i’m smart.

14.
If you had the power to change history, would you want the Philippines
to be colonized by the Spaniards? Americans? Japanese? Why?
yeah. for genetic strain improvement. and technology

15.
If one of your senses has to be given up, which would it be? Vision
(Sight)? Audition (Hearing)? Offaction (Smell)? Gustation (Taste)?
Sensation (Touch)?
olfaction. that way, i can REALLY take anything LOL

16. Which are you more of, logical or artistic?
artistic

17. Do you believe in ghosts? Have you seen one? Would you want to see one or be visited?
felt. only by loved relatives

18. Do you think a woman can rape a man? Is it even possible or has it been done before already?
yeah. been there done that.

19. Have you been to France? Do you want to go to France? If a French guy asks you for a one-night stand, would you?
I was saving up for a trip to paris. But i got preg, so there. Maybe in time.
No. Europeans are mostly uncircumsized. EEWWWW

20.
How did you learn to speak French? Why did you choose French language
amonst others? Why not Nippongo or Mandarin or German or etc.?
I
studied at L’alliance Francaise de Manille in Makati. I believe that if
i can handle the French language, i can handle all else. It’s
unbelievably tough.

(Interviewer: Angelo)

(part 1)
1. What is your impression of me as admin of this board?
You
are firm and in control of your emotions. You are tactful and
reasonable. You are never unfair. You’re great as an admin here.

2. What is your impression of me as graphic artist?
talented, fun and incredibly imaginative

3. What is your impression of me IRL?
Nasa loob ang kulo.

4. What is your reaction when you first saw the signature that I made for you?

Astounded
and honored. I could not make something like that even in my dreams.
Sabi ko sa sarili ko, "kung talent ang usapan, si Angelo never
matatalo."

5. If I were to make you another signature what would it be or what would it look like?
Polgara surrounded by boys. Like Marlou’s sig that you also made.

6. Where is my tele clip?
Used by my bot. I’m keeping it to remind you to never drop any item in RO again, even as a joke.

7. If you were given a chance to administrate the boards in one day what would you do?
Create
and never close an open forum thread. It’s a bull session for anyone
who has something to say to anyone else. I don’t care if puro <word
filtered> and mabasa ko dun, as long as the members can let loose
some steam. Rants section never quite did this.

(part 2)
1. Favorite coffee sa starbucks? Anything moccha.

2. Foreign language you know? English and French.

3. Since you write poetry sa tingin mo ba maganda maganda ang pagkakamodify ko sa tula na to? Isang Obra Maestra!!!!

4. Do you consider yourself boyish? Yes. But of course some lucky few have seen me at my most feminine…

5. Dog name? Moccha.

6. Who is more handsome for you. Me or -Chocnut- Ikaw syempre kasi ikaw nagtatanong e.

7. Question about your child.
a. If he grew up as a gay would you or would you not accept him? Why?
Yes!!!!
I’ve always admired the gay people who can stand up for what they are.
And with all the freedom from pressure of building a family, they can
excel in anything they want. A lot of gay people are very very rich.

b.
Maybe in the future when your child is already mature would you let him
live on his own just like you or have him by your side?
As soon
as he can, I want him to fend for himself and be independent. The
training i got from my being financially independent at 21, and being
alone in the city at 17 onwards, made me stronger than i could have
been had I stayed under my parents’ protection longer.

c. What if he has a lot of girls? What would you do?
Teach
him the basics of "protection" and subtlety. Maski sobrang kati sya
kelangan mamili ng babaeng sasamahan. Kelangan alam nya kung paano
umiwas sa "aksidente" at sakit, at kung paano humindi kung mashadong
delikado ung babae (nagpapa-buntis na sa sobrang desperasyon)
———————————————————

(Interviewer: Briar Rose again)

1. Can you please
tell us the story behind the famous alias "Polgara?" Correct me if I’m
wrong but is Polgara the fictional character in the book series by D.E.?
Yes
it is!!! I’ve always given chat priority to people who know about David
Eddings. It’s so cool that a lot of people recognize it!!!

2. Is there anything in the world you would gladly trade your soul for?
Real World Peace. And peace of mind.

3. What are your fears? Do you scare easily?
I’m
scared of people getting hurt. I’d go out of my way to protect and
defend my friends and loved ones vs. adversity. But I know i can’t do
this most of the time so I’m always scared. Other fears? Hmm….
Commitment. Restriction. Enclosed Spaces (I’m claustrophobic).

4. What was the strangest thing you have ever done in your life?
Join Youth for Christ. It’s strange that i joined because of my different, unconventional views on God and spirituality. 

5. Can you tell us two (2) or three (3) things that people would be surprised to know about you?
I’m an Andrew E. fan and know some of his songs by heart.
I write poetry.
I wouldnt watch a movie that would show the hero dying

6.
What are the usual misconceptions that people have always mistaken
about you? You may want to clear some of those false impressions.
Misconception
#1. Snob ako. I’m warm and welcoming to people. Kapag mukhang hindi ko
kayo napansin RL, baka dahil wala lang akong salamin. (I have poor
eyesight)
Misconception #2, Lalake ako

7. Is there something you want that you can’t have as of the moment? (Material and/or Intangible)
12-hour sleep

8. During dire times, what motivates you?
During
dire times, i get brave and summon the strength and agility of my alter

there.

9. If you’re feeling down, what comforts you?
The knowledge that i am needed by people.

10.
Do you have a real-life pet? If so, can you tell me something about it?
And, besides pork, beef, chicken and fish, do you eat the most coveted
“dog meat?”
I dont have a pet anymore. My dog died due to a
genetic disease. No i won’t eat dog meat, even if you disguise it as
goat meat. I know the smell.

11. Is there any book that changed some of your outlook in life?
The 48 Laws of Power by R. Green

12.
Is there anyone here who’ve said something that made you think twice,
made you moved so deeply or inspired you in some ways? What did he/she
said and why are you moved by it?
A conversation between a father and his son:

Father:
"There are 2 wolves fighting each other savagely inside the hearts of
all people, including yours. One’s name is Love and Forgiveness, the
other’s name is Wrath and Bitterness."
Son: "Which one of them wins, dad?"
Father: "The one you always feed."

13.
Based on their presence and attitude in this forum site, can you think
of any member/s who’s got the most nerve-racking factor but can
cleverly inspire other people in various ways? Why?
Berserkerz crits. He says the most outrageous things with a pizzazz that no one else can show.

15. Time Machine: Where and when would you travel? And why?
I
would travel back to the medieval times, and obtain a chastity belt
(solid iron panty you wear over your underwear, and requires a key to
open)… Then, I would wear that chastity belt and travel back to the
time of my first sexual experience. LOL

16.
If you were given a chance to change and/or improve three (3) of your
physical characteristic/attributes, what would those parts be?
Legs. I would make mine longer, they’re too short.
Torso, I would make it longer too.
Height. I’d make me taller.

17.
If you’ll be given a chance to become a guy for one (1) year, what kind
of guy would you want be? What are the things that you’re going to do?
What would be your preference for a girl then?
If i’m a guy, I’d be lovable and charming. I’d be vain and prissy. I’d court smart girls like you who are sweet and fun. 

18. If you’ll be given a three-day chance to become one of the male member here, who would you want to be and why?
I’d want to look at the boards through the artistic eyes of Angelo.

19. What are your thoughts about people who “txt-talk” here?
As
long as they get their message across, ok lang. I don’t mind. The same
as I don’t mind it when people speak in a coloquial way (which other
people call "jologs"). As long as they’re respectful, I’m ok with it.

20. What are the websites you spend some time to read or you just frequently visit?
CBS.com, Armada-immobil.com, prochaosguild.com

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. First off, who are the men and women that you look up to? (Famous and/or otherwise)
My mom. She went from scratch to being a successful business woman, despite people putting her down.
My dad. Because of him, "with integrity" has been the only way I and my siblings tackled all of life’s problems.

2. What’s a day in the life of Polgara like?
Hilarious
and Exciting. If I were to be an astral traveller looking for someone
to make a book about, I would choose mine. You can’t imagine how
profound and touching my experiences have been.

3. How has your real life been? How about your online life?
RL life is a blast. Online life is a blast also.

4. Up to this point, what do you consider to be the most defining moment in your life? Career?
When my parents forcibly sent me to UP Manila to study. Forcibly, because I didn’t
want
to leave my boyfriend in the province then. If I didn’t do what my
parents wanted, I would have been married at 18 to a guy who cared more
for himself than anyone else. I would have never known how to be
financially independent, carefree and in control of my destiny.

5.
I am pretty sure you have actually had the opportunity to meet a lot of
people you have only known through the Internet, how was your
experience with them?
I was amazed at how diverse life experiences have been for different people. I’m drinking them all in and learning from them.

6. If there’s one thing in your life that you could go back and do differently, what would it be?
I
wouldn’t have given my virginity to my first BF. He didn’t deserve it.
I was young, blind and in love… and stoooopppiiiidddd!!!!

7. How do you reward yourself for a job well done?
I go out, drink coffee at starbucks, contact a friend and go have fun.

8. Are there other projects/jobs you are interested in working on?
I want to learn my third foreign language. My experience with my first 2 was interesting and mentally challenging.

9. How does it feel like to be one of the people who got the most votes to be in the Hot Seat? Were you shy?
I was flattered at the interest of people to hear what i have to say. I wasn’t shy, just excited at the questions.

10. How do you see yourself five years from now?
I would be a devoted partner and homemaker to a hardworking nurse OFW.

++++++++++++++++++++++

1. What has Love taught you Lately?
Love doesn’t need to be categorized. It just is.

2. Are you a jealous type of girlfriend?
No.

3. In your own point of view, what makes a man sexy? (In terms of physical and/or non-physical aspects)
A
guy is sexy when he talks well. I’d prefer someone who looks and
behaves like an angel when in a group, and a devil when we’re alone

4. What was the most shameful PDA experience you’ve ever had?
French kissing on the greenbelt 3 balcony

5. In the name of love, will you allow yourself to be in a relationship that you know will hurt you?
No.
Because i know myself, and when i get hurt, i wont stop until i hurt
the other person ten times over. I normally run away from "dangerous"
guys.

6. How would you know if your man is cheating on you?
He will tell me. There’s no such thing as cheating, i prefer to call it "his personal affairs" that i don’t have any right to.
If he keeps it a secret, it’s his business. But if i inadvertently find
out, he will have to explain. Nonetheless, i won’t call it cheating.

7. How will you handle the situation if your man cheated on you and impregnated the other girl?
Refer
to my answers to #6. However, if his personal thing bears fruit, i will
scold him first for not being more careful, then we’ll sit down and
talk seriously about the financial side of his stupidity (getting the
girl pregnant). I’ll ask him what the girl plans to do, kung iiwan sa
kanya yung baby or she expects na panagutan niya. It’s his kid. I don’t
really care about what happens to the girl (unless she’s also my
friend), but i care about his kid. I’ll help him through it all…. and
THEN, i’ll scold him again for not wearing a condom (30 pesos lang
naman kasi, di pa gumamit amp!)

8. What are you going to do
when you’ve accidentally got pregnant by "other" man during the period
that you are legally engaged with your boyfriend?
I’ll confess. But i’m not that stufid.

9. Would you go after someone who is already “taken?” Explain your answer.
Go out as in friendly date? Pwede. Pero go out as in I expect him to leave his relationship behind because of me? HELL NO.

10. Being a woman, what are your thoughts about girls making the initiative to court a guy?
It’s better if a guy does the courting, but a girl can always drop hints and signals

11. Would you indulge in a secret love affair? Share us your views.
I
treat all my relationships (even when i didn’t have personal
obligations) as FRIENDSHIP. Besides, there’s no such thing as a secret
love affair. People are bound to find out anyway even if you keep it
under wraps, might as well not make a big deal out of it, or other
people will paint on it.

12. In your own viewpoint, do you
that that men like it when girls are hard to get? I’ve heard that guys
like a chase better than when a girl is always there.
No, guys get confused if a girl sends mixed signals. It’s either a yes or a no. Never "maybe"

13.
Being a woman of substance, do you think that men wouldn’t want to have
a smart type of girl who can talk about all sorts of different topics?
Do you think that it would strip away a girl’s femininity if she speaks
intelligently? And why?
Guys prefer to keep intelligent women as friends. Some extremely rare men will want a girl with brains for a GF.

14. Do you believe in this thing called “Soul Mate?” Why and why not?
Yes.
There is such a thing. They say that the members of your present family
are your soulmates. There is also this thing called Twin Souls. That is
the partner that’s meant for you.

15. In your opinion, do you think that is possible to fall in love for someone you’ve only met through the Internet? Explain.
Yes.
We all fall in love through a person’s looks and personality. If you
met the person RL, the looks part comes first, but if you met him
through the net, the personality part comes first. Nonetheless, you
fell in love.

<<Jek>>

Sa mga bagay na natutunan/nalaman mo sa buhay alin ang d mo makakalimutan at alin ang gus2 mo ng ibaon sa limot?
Di makakalimutan:

1.
Kung di ka matututo na maghugas ng sarili mong plato, wala kang
kakainan sa susunod. Matutong gumamit ng chopsticks para hindi hugas
nang hugas ng kubyertos, hehe.
2. I need other people. Pag namatay
ako sa loob ng apartment kong mag-isa walang makaka-alam til mangamoy
ako, kaya kelangan ko ng outside contact kahit papaano.
3. Ang sakit
na dulot ng maski ano ay nasa isip lamang. Kung hindi mo ito iisipin,
hindi mo na mararamdaman. Kung paba-bayaan mo na kainin ka ng sakit na
nararamdaman mo, mababaliw ka.
4. Ang isip ng tao ay parang CPU.
May hard drive na pwedeng i-save yung mga importante, may recycle bin
na pwedeng tapunan ng mga hindi na kailangan. Huwag magtapon ng mga
kakailanganin pa sa hinaharap. Matutong magreboot din paminsan minsan
sa pamamagitan ng pag-tulog ng 12-24 hours.
5. Hindi lahat ng lalake ay puro sex ang nasa isip.

Ibaon sa limot:

1. Masakit, talagang napaka-sakit, sa simula. Lalo na kung alam mong katangahan na gawin ito sa murang edad. AMP.
2. Ang paglilihim sa magulang. Bad idea. Alam nila lahat maski anong tago mo ng bisyo mo.
3. God doesn’t back down on a dare, so don’t dare Him.

Ano nman ang message mo sa anak mo sakaling mabasa nya ito after 10yrs
Anong ginagawa mo sa forums na ito?!? Naglalaro ka ba ng RO?!? Adik ka na noh?!? mag-log out ka na at pa-paluin na kita!!!….. Pero alam mo anak, yung mga gamit ko noon sa RO, hindi ko ni-pHp yung mga yun. Wala sa gamit ang lakas, anak. Nasa diskarte.

(Interviewer: Hikaru Mithcristien part 2)

1) Anyway, If you knew me beforehand and I courted you way before you got preggy, sasagutin mo ako?
Yes. But I would’ve lost you agad coz I was praying to get preg na that time and was already decided on who will be the father.

2) Describe Raven Nightingale. How did you two get together? How was your relationship with him?
He
is a kid who needed to grow up. He has unlimited "potential" and for
some reason I felt like he should be tutored through the basics by
someone like me.

3) Same question in #2, but this time with Marco Polo.
He’s a good friend, I hate losing him to the game pero he made me choose din kasi

4) Can you list the people you got hooked up in RO (kahit flings lang)?
Nope.
I’ll tell you  na lang in YM. Pero in fairness, I have almost always
gunned for those  na mas low profile kesa sa akin. I’m the star, and
that’s how it should be, even in flings.

5) If a corrupt RO GM offers you godly items and boss cards in exchange for one night, would you accept the offer?
Hahaha.
That’s kinky. But no, it doesn’t work that way for me. Although kung ok
siya, baka tapatan ko yung sweldo niya sa LUG, sa akin na lang sya
magtrabaho. GG. JOKE.

(Interviewer: Briar Rose)

Answers only
1. I was always careful about the guys i went
out with. I always chose to get intimate with those who were neat and
fragrant at the onset. So the question does not really apply.

2.  A
nice, relaxing chat first to test out the waters in compatibility. Then
a nice friendly phonecall just for him to hear my voice. Then a nice,
friendly, platonic coffee date just to weigh in the chemistry. Then…
pause… a long time of friendship to allow the "sexual tension" to
build and brew. What happens next is up to him. LOL

3. La
equilibrez, bien sur! I don’t really have the leisure of time (and
frankly, I’m just scared <word filtered!> to do it many times in
a year) to have myself waxed, so i make do with the usual stuffs. But
the results are pretty much the same, di ba?

4.  Correct me if im wrong but did you just ask advice about this??? =)
Well, ahem, all I can say is…. it takes a lot of getting used to, but
if you close your eyes and pretend  that you’re just eating cotton
candy or an ice cream cone, your life will be a whole lot easier. LOL

5. Hmm…
This is my advice: Just do what satisfies YOU not him. Frankly, when it
comes to that, girls should look more for their own satisfaction than
the guy’s (as they can get off with just looking, really). It is not
the girl’s obligation (yeah maski kasal na or asawa na) to always do a
guy’s bidding. Stand up for yourself and just get what YOU need. If he
enjoys it also, then it’s meant to be. LOL
