			<content:encoded><![CDATA[A bittersweet smile cut across my face earlier as I browsed photos of my friends from the Foreign Service on Facebook. Four years ago, I was with them preparing for the series of the toughest exams, providing moral support to one another, sharing stories of excitement, fears, and dreams. While I am happy for them that they reached their dreams of becoming a diplomat, I can&#8217;t help but wonder what could have been had I made it through. Today, they &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

TANGENT: lines who have one chance to meet and then parted forever; 2. PARALLEL: lines who are never meant to meet; and 3. ASYMPTOTES: lines who can get closer and closer but will never ever meet I was so blown away by this simple text message that almost three years later, &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

I was looking at the mirror, trying to decide whether I should ditch the hat I was wearing that night. &#8220;You look great, don&#8217;t worry,&#8221; he complimented. It wasn&#8217;t long until I noticed that he was handsome, sexy and &#8212; wait for it &#8212; shirtless. We were at the restroom of a bar in Boracay. Realizing how sleazy it appeared to have a conversation inside the restroom, I replied &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Media these days. I don&#8217;t understand the hate and shade that have been thrown by the entertainment press towards Christina Aguilera. I know that media thrives in controversies but I can&#8217;t believe they will go this far or this low to spin stories or create something out of nothing. It is absolutely disgusting. Take a look at what DailyMail.co.uk just did. Spanish magazine DT decided to use an old photo of Christina Aguilera for the cover of their latest issue. &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The island club had closed for the night and I hit the beach with reckless abandon. As I lay on the beach, I did not care one bit about the sand that had completely covered the back of my shirt and my arms. There I was, dragging my drunken butt as my new friends watched me almost make a fool of myself. I, however, was just drunk, not wasted. I could still feel just how fine the sand was and &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

I still had P20 in my pocket and I was planning to grab two slices. My daily allowance was P50 but I had spent P30 for lunch. I was &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

I was an applicant, scared shitless. Y Tu Mama Tambien was what I blurted out when I realized it was my turn to share what my favorite movie was. I panicked. The truth is, at the time I had only seen that film once and I did not even like it. Later &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was drinking the other night and in between gulps of beer and shots of tequila, I realized that I still had not blogged about my birthday. I turned 26 last Tuesday. I have been busy. Yes, I quit my full-time job two months ago. Yes, I stay at home, in front of my laptop most of the time. You might be asking &#8212; What the hell could I be busy with? Certainly NOT PORN. I can only wish I had time &#8230; &#8594;<br/>

An entry-level employee could become a supervisor or a manager, or he could resign, if he&#8217;s lucky. A graduate school enrollee could finish a degree with thesis. A celebrity could rise to fame and spiral back down to oblivion.  A television network could run as many as six drama series on one primetime slot or three different variety shows at noontime in &#8230; &#8594;<br/>
