I'm Superman!

So I took this online quiz just to see which superhero I am. And the result is pretty cool since I am really a Superman fan. I don't like being Hulk though. The big green, angry and stupid (well apparently he's smart in the comics now) character just doesn't appeal to me.

Green Lantern is also pretty cool with his power ring that lets the wielder conjure anything he wants.

Latter Days

Watched Latter Days tonight. A gay film with a Mormon and a pretty boy as lead. And it's just great!

It has this lightness and innocence, and sweetness in it but still manages to raise sensitive questions: does homosexuality have a (good) place in religion? Is it wrong to be gay? Can God forgive gay people?

The line that struck me was "God can forgive us for what we have done, but not for what we are." "Are" here referring to being gay.

As a Catholic, I've been taught that it is wrong to be gay. We have the biblical story of Sodom and Gomora, of how the people were punished. But we also have stories of a compassionate and loving and forgiving God.

These conflicting ideas have confused me for years. And they continue to do so.

I wonder, when will I learn the truth? Or has the truth already been taught to me, and I'm just too dense to believe and understand?

Indecisiveness

A friend told me that I am too indecisive. I would want one thing one minute, and then totally change my mind after a few.

There are also times that I just don't want to decide. That I just want to go with the flow; or be told what to do, and then shrug my head in irritation if I don't agree. Is that typical of being the youngest child?

Looking back, I never really had to make a huge decision. For some reason, everything seems to have just been handed down to me. Never forced. From school to work, things just fell into their proper places.

I'm not complaining. I'm actually grateful to have been given so much. But things going my way so easily have been double-edged.

I've been so used to things going my way that I have a tendency to take not only things for granted, but also people. I feel that I don't know how to value what I got. And that one day, I will certainly regret it.

Bookmarked

I have bookmarked quite a lot of profiles over at g4m. I have also deleted about half of them.

Browsing through my list, I noticed that most of them have a boy-next-door cuteness in them. They also have nice bodies. And that got me thinking: since I find such type of guys attractive, shouldn't I also make it an effort to be a little like them? I can't do anything about my face, but my body, I can definitely improve.

Those that I have bookmarked have already passed my physical standards. Isn't it only fair that the same standards be applied unto me? Or am I acting like a spoiled brat who wants the most out of very little effort?

Who am I?

I created this blog to express my random thoughts, and in the process gain a better understanding of who I am.

Let me start off with some information about myself (this is from my profile at www.guys4men.com).

People think I'm a snob. The truth is, I'm actually very private and shy.

I'm not an outdoorsy or sporty person. I'd rather exercise my fingers and play computer games. I do however, enjoy traveling the country once in a while. Especially the beach: to feel the sand on my feet; to hear the crashing of the waves; and to watch the sun rise and set.

I consider myself a mall rat. I just like walking around the mall and buying clothes every now and then. I am not a fashionista, though I steer away from clothes that are just too plain and simple. I find it weird however that I dream of the day when I can look good wearing the plainest of the plains: white t-shirt and white jeans.

I enjoy greasy foods: pizza, burger, lechon kawali. My week is not complete if I don't have my two-piece chickenjoy meal at Jollibee.

When I'm annoyed or feeling the blues, a bar of snicker's is definitely a welcome treat.

Despite my love for fatty foods, I'm not huge. At somewhere between 130-140 lbs, some of my friends think I'm rather skinny (I'm just 5'6). I do wish to beef up and tone a bit. But I just don't have the determination of going to the gym and breaking a sweat.

I like lazy days when I can just enjoy a movie (not into horror) or curl up to a fantasy book.

I've always needed an artistic release. I used to draw and write poetry. Now, I'm into a little bit of "sculpting" and "painting".

I'm chinito but not chinese.

I've been described as good looking, cute and ugly. Truly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I consider myself as a little bit above average.

Call me shallow, but I want to meet people who are at least cute and presentable. I'm not into people who are too "exotic". For me, a cute face outweighs a hot and buffed body.

I don't have a particular "type". Chinito, mestizo, moreno; white, black. Each has its own beauty to offer.

I want to hang out with people who earn their own money and not living on daddy's plastic (credit card, atm if you must ask). I am not rich, nor I am looking for someone who is. As much as possible, I want to be with people who are middle class like myself. Someone who will not fret and think that a 500 peso meal is too expensive, yet can eat jologs foods like fish ball.

I want to be with someone who is a bit talkative and a good conversationalist. That way, he can balance my "autism." Big plus if he likes watching movies.

I'm not into SEB. I don't need someone who can only offer sex.

I want someone who can share the things that I like, while at the same time, broaden my horizon and help me explore life.

I'm looking for a friend: someone patient, understanding and can be a positive influence to me. If friendship blossoms to something deeper, then I'd be very lucky and thankful.

If you think I have some qualities you like, do drop me a message. Maybe we can watch a movie or have coffee sometime.
