Ordinary Fairy Tale

Paano kung si Prince Charming hindi na charming? O kaya, hindi siya talaga prinsipe? Paano kung ordinaryong tao lang pala siya?

Pero mahal na mahal niya yung Prinsesa na:
a) Sinumpa ng Witch;
b) Kinulong sa tore na binabantayan ng isang mabangis na Dragon; or
c) Kinidnap ng isang Evil Wizard at balak nitong pakasalan at gawing ina ng kaniyang evil offspirings.

Kung ordinaryo lang ang ating bida:
a) Magiging magical pa din kaya ang halik niya at magigising si Sleeping Beauty?
b) Magkakaroon kaya siya ng lakas ng loob tahakin ang tore na kinalalagyan ng isang Damsel in Distress at supilin ang mabangis na Dragon?
c) Mapipigilan kaya niya ang maitim na balak ng Evil Wizard, just in time para kantahin ang duet theme song nila nung Prinsesa habang nakasakay sa isang magical flying carpet?
d) O magpapakaordinaryo na lang siya, magiging parte na lang siya ng istorya bilang farmer #3 or soldier #12?

Will he break free from being ordinary? Will he be able to look beyond himself and focus on the object of his love? Will he become the prince that he was meant to be?

"Love can make an ordinary man do extraordinary things"

3 things...

I know I placed you in a very uncomfortable position last night and honestly I don’t know what to do or what to say. You know that I’m not that good in words and me saying a lot of things might make it worse. So, I’ll just say three things:

I’m sorry. I miss you so much. I love you.

...Hours later (Part 3)

Mr. B: Take a risk with me. I love you. Be my boyfriend.
Pat: So... I guess the monthsary would be every 24th of the month.

After more than three (3) years of singlehood...
After one (1) year of trying and failing...
After one (1) month and twenty-four (24) days of dating...
November 24, 2010...
Mr. Brightside is now in a relationship

Re: Seriously Speaking (Part 2)

Hey Pat,

I miss you too. Don't worry I don't find it clingy, extreme or over top. I find it sweet. You are sweet Pat (consistently).

I think I told you before that I would not mind spending time with you, even on a daily basis; I wouldn't grow tired of it. Even if we run out of things to say to each other, exhausted every corny joke there is and run out of things to do, just to be beside you would be enough for me.

I appreciate you and the things that you do. With you I experienced certain ‘firsts’. Like the time you drove to Antipolo to show me the beautiful sight of Manila by night. The time you accompanied me going home through commute. And recently, you gave me a rose stem. I may not express my gratitude in the best way possible, but rest assured that I am grateful. On top of these, there are three things that I want to thank you for:

1. Thank you for being jolly / comedic. When I’m with you, happiness is amplified by
a 100x and a stressful situation turns into a fun one.
2. Thank you for making me feel comfortable enough to show you what I really am.
3. Thank you for allowing me to step into world. A prolonged stay would be highly
appreciated

Looking forward to more kulit, fun, crazy, romantic, intimate and unconventional moments with you.


Mr. B


P.S.
I like you Pat, very much.

Message: Seriously Speaking (Part 1)

Hi Mr. B,

I miss you. Call it clingy, extreme or over the top but i'm just being honest. It was very easy to feel comfortable with you from the very first time I met you. I cannot deny the fact that you were entertaining to talk to, which never fails until now. You hit me with your charm- telling me that I will have a very good time whenever I'm with you. We've been dating a number of times already, watched few good movies, laughed at crazy situations, spent sleepless nights, delivered corny jokes, called each other names like "ToE" and even skipped diets everytime we go out.

I appreciate all the things you've done to make us work, event before that famous chocolate cake you brought at our office to the one you brought at One Esplanade, from that Pichi-pichi to the Christmas Lights Show at the Ayala Triangle. I may forget things as you know how I am but I surely appreciate them at that moment. And I appreciate you.

I'm really happy to have met you. To have held you hand while we're in my tinted car (Yey!), in watching movies, in the bus and even in the MRT. I like it when you kiss my forehead, when you thoughtfully give me an instant hug or you just kissed me instantly whenever you feel like it. I cannot forget the time at Eastwood when you forgot we were in a public place and you just went on tickling me. Hahaha!

I hope these moments will last. These are the times when we still are getting to know each other and so far it has been a very good journey. We started things of by betraying conventions on what to NOT talk about during the first dates and all. I'm happy we got along, we are on the same page. We clicked.

I like you. A lot.


Pats.

The answer is...

This was his reply in relation to my previous post

Hi Mr. Brightside,

Exhibit A: I actually thought you were going to tell me that you were really a straight guy (while we were on a date).

Exhibit B: This was cleared already, I did point out to you after that, "I do walk straight" (I mentioned that I have knock knees...yup, piki ako) just so I get to be at par with what you did, so no worries, let's call it quits. haha

1) I am happy to have met you too, minus the fact that part of meeting and dancing with me was to really avoid another person. haha (please refer to this post)

2) It was my pleasure, that's one of the things I'm really good at, or at least I think.

3) Same here, you were very funny. Especially that part where you didn't want me to look at you while you sing. Enjoyed that BIG TIME. (I sang Gabe Bondoc's cover of Somebody to Love)

4) Thank you Mr. Brightside. It was really nice meeting you. I also find you cute. And I would have to second what BK said, you really look like you're cuddly. haha

I was nervous too when I saw you again, it felt a bit awkward seeing you again so I had to start speaking and all. I love the walk around Tomas Morato. It was a good night.

Sorry for keeping you that late, I find you very entertaining and interesting to talk to. =)

Yes. But only if you sing to me a whole song and if Bezty (best friend ko since high school a.k.a. my fag hag) won't get mad. =)

The question is...

Ngayon lang nagsink in... I said some pretty stupid things last night. (Mr. Brightside slaps his forehead)


Exhibit A: I have a thing for boobs
I really don't know where this came from. What gay guy in his right mind would say this during a first date? He might think that I am some weirdo, and I won't blame him. Heck, I think I'm a weirdo.

Exhibit B: Ever since I was a child, dentists think that i have a good set of teeth
Sinabi ko pa talaga siya after he shared about his over bite. How rude and insensitive of me. (Mr. Brightside slashes his wrist...kidding =D)

and many more, I bet.

To be honest, I was nervous prior and during the date. First date jitters, I guess. But I hope, despite the stupid things I said, that I was able to send the following messages:

1) Even though our meeting was accidental (please refer to my previous post), I am really happy that I met him.
2) I appreciate his effort to make me feel comfortable last night.
3) I enjoyed our conversation and his company.

and most important of all

4) I like him. I think he's cute and he has a wonderful personality, which I think is rare.

So now, the question is, would he go out with me for another date? (Mr. Brightside crosses his fingers while saying: please, please, please say yes)
