About Me

My photo
From the small town I call home, Philippines
Hello, I'm Chai and you've never probably heard of me until now. I may be familiar to you because I've met you once when our souls crossed paths. In my past life, I was probably a princess living in Old England, or a World War II chronicler assigned to document the devastation in what is now called Turkey. I may have been a street urchin or a painter or an old Hollywood actress once. But the life I've chosen to hold on to is the life I'm living in right now and I'm glad I can share it with you.:)

Spur of the Moment

I am nothing if not consistent.

It's difficult enough as it is to find myself jobless and bored to death (that I swear, I'll willingly be a barker if I get really desperate), but to also wallow in my lovelife-less existence becomes too much to bear and it isn't very helpful, I tell you.

Oh I think I have made it clear enough tons of times before that being in a relationship isn't something I was in a hurry to get into, but there are times that I wish there was someone I can text in the middle of the night to randomly say "I love you" to and always expect a reply in return that will make my insides melt; or have that person to argue with just because he failed to inform me where he was today; and that person who will make you feel like you are the most beautiful girl on earth because he honestly believes that your imperfection is what makes you, you.

We all dream about finding that special someone who'll compliment us in every way possible. A person who, in every way that he can, will show you love and respect in dizzying proportions that it would be so hard to resurface without ending up having a goofy but involuntary smile plastered on your face.

But just like for most of us who are still waiting for that one special man (or woman!, whatever your gender or preference may be), we always find ourselves fantasizing about that person--what he should look like, what his personality should be like, etc.

And while we're at it, I'll squeeze in my criteria for "my ideal man".

  • Let's get physical.
Looks matter. But so does the possession of a beautiful mind! I'd say I'll take an average looking guy who can be smarter or be as witty as I am any time of the day. But if God really loves me and gives me a smart and good looking boyfriend, I won't say no for an answer, that's for sure.

  • Bank Account
He doesn't need to be filthy rich, that's for sure. I mean, who is swimming in cash these days, right? I just want him to be generous--a bouquet on special occasions, a gift once in a while, and a romantic dinner perhaps every now and then would be really appreciated. I love surprises--be it little or utterly huge, it doesn't matter! A gift, in the form of a random love note or a diamond ring is the same thing in my book.

  • The P in Personality
Above anything else, he has to be very patient with me. Especially during those days when I just go bratatatatat for no reason at all. I just want him to be the silent type (but not be too much of a push-over or too aggressive either); the one who will just embrace me after all the reckless rants and say, "I love you. That's what matters." He must be charming and polite to everybody all the time because I'm usually not. HAHA. But I need him to be supernice all the time because I don't want others to have a reason to hate him. He should be very nice, that it can get annoying but endearingly cute too.

  • TALENTED (?)
*scrunches nose*

Not really. Because the last time I checked, I cannot carry a tune as well as the next tone-deaf person and I still have two left feet, but I'm doing okay. So...it doesn't really matter. Plus ten points though if he can sing or dance or even do acrobatics or eat and spit out fire.:D

  • Family Oriented
Of course, this goes without saying. I have a very huge, closely knit family who eats a lot and is big on the entire togetherness thing, so he has to share that same interest.

  • Husband Material (?)
DEFINITELY!:)

I am a few of those modern women who'd prefer relationships that can almost guarantee a blissful marriage. I do believe in commitment and the sanctity of marriage. But if it'll be too much of a stretch for him, then it won't be a problem.


I know I seemed to have created such a fairytale with those requirements, and there's one out of about seven billion chances that he doesn't even exist. Or if he does, I haven't just met him. YET.

I'm not really asking for much. I just want him to be sincere and head over heels in love with me, that's all.

These days, I do think that getting a boyfriend, or rather, getting a guy to like you is based on looks all the time. I find that unfortunate, because a lot of us girls who are out in the market (if you may), have very vibrant personalities and it'll be such a waste to keep ignoring us. HAHA.

But there oughta be at least one person out there who's not totally dependent on looks, right? I sincerely believe that men who prefer a girl's personality over her physicality has got more balls than those who choose otherwise; because it just goes to show what kind of a person you really are.

I really have no idea what brought this on. HAHA. As the title suggests, I was feeling rather random again. And I guess it's very timely for Eclipse season (which opens in a few hours as I'm writing this!). And oh, I've always been on Team Edward, if you're wondering.:)

Just like any princess, I still sit atop a lonely tower awaiting that prince.

Scratch that part. This is the 21st century after all.

I am content being an ordinary girl who is at the verge of silently longing for that one simple guy who would make me feel extraordinary. Romeo or Edward or Prince Charming or any of those other perfect male matches they made us believe real doesn't really have a place here on earth, but I do believe that there is always that one person who's made just for you. It's always just a matter of perfect timing--and God's beautiful manipulation.

That's the beauty of waiting--there's thrill in the fact that you have no idea what the Lord has in store for you. But at the end of the long and agonizing wait, it'll all be worth it.

For the mean time, turning sad thoughts into a beautiful prose is what I do best and I'll gladly stick to it--long after I find the perfect job and the perfect boyfriend.:)
