Fiction is He.

-

I started reading in Wattpad out of curiosity then I was browsing further, reading stories either up until the just the prologue or the middle, or until the end.

I have this guilty pleasure of reading tagalog pocketbooks and after a lot of, in tinder terms-- “swipe left”, in a regular book content skimming process--reading the end of the story and then flipping pages, in bum state-- killing time, I was able to discover a few authors who are as good as the published Precious Hearts Romances writers whom I admired. Some of them also have published their Wattpad stories, I am just so lucky to have read some of it before being published into a book. Most often than not, they have to take down the digital version so that people are forced to just buy the print copy.

The stories I would read would usually just have the same description for the leading man- chiseled jawline, broad chest and shoulders, clean cut hair and clean-shaven face. Dominant. Alpha Male. Then, the leading as well would usually be a runaway or a damsel in distress or just simply stubborn or some girl in denial. I like the stories where the man comes after the lady no matter how many times he gets rejected. The man who knows what and who he wants. Find his ways in seducing the woman. That point of seduction that the woman can’t say no to and would just be in total surrender. Boom boom pow!

I don’t know why I like these kinds of stories. Well, hell yeah, of course, I know. In one way or another, I put myself in the shoes of the leading lady’s character. I wish to be that lady whom a guy would fall in love with. That kind of guy who would just do anything and everything to convince that he is the one. That kind of guy who would introduce you to his parents and family. That kind of guy who give surprises. That kind of guy who knows what he wants and finds his ways to get them. That kind of guy who would be ready to be in state of celibacy because he only wants you and only you.

The kind of guy who could only exist in books and pop fiction stories. And I’m the kind of lady who would still believe he exists---in Wattpad stories.

    One after another, all about the pouring of your heart. I guess you are ready to commit but there is no one to commit with at this time. Those stories, reminiscent of fairy tales, show how women will have to wait for the men to sweep them off their feet. Why not, do the other way, do a karate chop to make them kneel and profess their love and devotion to you, he,he,he. Kidding aside, that 'some day your prince will come' is not package as mentioned in books. Kahit na mataba o balbas sarado, basta mahal ka niya.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
