Common misconceptions

For some reason, people almost always think I'm Chinese. When I tell them I'm not, the next thing they ask is "sigurado ka? ano apelyido mo?" There are also those who don't ask anymore. Iniintsik na lang ako basta.

Another misconception is that I'm rich. This is related to the above. Here in the Philippines, parang tingin ng tao lahat ng Chinese mayaman. Pinoy na lang yata ang mahirap dito.

The third, which is also related to 1 and 2, is that I'm from La Salle. Pag sinasabi ko yung school ko, parang di makapaniwala yung nagtatanong. Di ko alam kung maiinsulto ba ko na tingin ng iba e di ako papasa ng UP, o matutuwa na di ako mukhang pobre. LOL.

cruising?

Was walking around the other night and saw some very cute guys. Some were obviously gay/bi as they looked at me straight in the eye as we passed each other. Some I have the feeling like I'm going to have my ass kicked big time. LOL. I really need to have my gaydar upgraded.

Oh and there was also a very attractive girl that looked at me in the eye when I passed her table at Starbucks. I think she was even smiling a bit. Or maybe I was just imagining it. Anyway, the other 2 guys she was with were very hot!

Passed by a bar with people dancing. Most of the patrons were guys and definitely gays. I wanted to go in and enjoy the dance music but the place was full. (Glass wall so I can easily see if there are any vacant tables) . Plus I chickened out. Haven't really gone inside a bar alone. And frankly, I have no clue how to conduct myself in such a situation. Would I look stupid being alone on my table when the other tables are jam packed?

Anyway, I noticed that there are more people who look at me when I wear long sleeved polo shirts with the top 2 buttons undone than compared to say when I'm just wearing t-shirt and jeans. I don't know if I look better that way. I do know however that I like the attention! But please, people should approach and say hi. I'm just too shy to make the first move.
