Romance uses sexual intimacy to create or amplify closeness and mutual fulfillment. It's been proven and tested by many. But how do you keep up to the demands of romance when you know that intimacy warrants a form of exclusivity?  "Alright." inilapag ko ang bowl na may lamang Pares at mami. Lumamig na ang sabaw na tinake out namin so I decided on heating it up. Sari was sitting in one of the chairs around the dining table wearing the long sleeve polo shirt I wore last night. I wanted her to wear something else, but she insisted on wearing this one. 

Business as usual. The whole cliché that giant businesses instill in the minds of its constituents. But like the business industry, business as usual also happens in real life. "Team, our current standing is not what I would call as ideal. Were at the bottom three out of fifteen teams in this account. I know you may think that this is not important but there's a lot at stake. If we manage to raise our scores, we'll have the ability to choose the schedules we prefer the moment that we bid for shifts. You'd have the best option for day-offs. There's also an incentive scheme for the team with the highest attained scores for this month. Some cash we can use for team buildings and all that. If you are interested, I can definitely help you where you need to be."Joanne raised her hand."Yes." Sari looked at her, in her poker face."TL, what do we do to achieve those scores?""Well, there are five different KPI's you all need to pass. Attendance, surveys, adjustments, repeat calls and of co

Why do people look up to the ceiling when they're tired, bored or regretting?Sa kisame ba nahahanap ang sagot sa lahat ng katanungan mo?I am literally staring at the ceiling while Joanne is sound asleep. Her legs wrapped around my hips.The reality of it all started crashing on me. I had sex with someone I didn't really had any intentions of doing it with.I swiftly got out of the bed and silently put on my boxers and my shirt. I didn't even bother putting on my pants. Its my house anyway.I took the time to drag my feet into the living room and took a jug of water. Tila uhaw na uhaw kong tinungga ang kalahati nga laman nito. Halos isang litrong container din 'yun.I leaned on the countertop and cursed at myself.Why did I do this?Maya-maya lang ay narinig ko ang pag-ring ng doorbell.I silently opened the door, still thinking of what just happened.Pagbukas ko ay bumungad ang mukha ni Jeremiah na may bitbit na plastic bags. I assumed they were alcohol."Dude!"Not too far from the

Obsession can be a petty thing to some.But for others, it changes the game to a whole 360.Halos tatlong oras din kaming bumiyahe bago namin narating ang private resort na binook namin. Halos dumidilim na din ang langit. The resort had three pools, one is an infinity that is looking out on a wonderful ocean view.Hindi kalakihan ng resort pero tamang-tama na para sa buong team. In general it fits any team building plans. There's a kitchen were we could cook our own food. There's two barkada rooms that we planned to utilize separately for Boys and Girls and three private cottages. One will be used by Sari, the other by Melai and one by J and Stacy who decided to stay together in a room. Of course, I will be crashing with the boys. As soon as we arrived, everyone get settled. The girls were in their room already sorting out their places. There were just a few of us boys so kung alin man ang mapili, yun na yun. Travis and I are in the same bunk bed. As soon as everyone was settled,

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect, he ceases to love."At 7 AM, I managed to get up of bed and face my team mates. The moment I got into the table for breakfast, everybody was clapping their hands like I was the winner of some lottery. But I know what they are clapping about. I sat beside Joanne who was smiling the moment she saw me. Beside her was a plate that's already full of food. I took the liberty of sitting down beside her. She beamed a smile at me to which I responded with a slight grin. Across her was of course Sari. Na tila ba, sinasadya nitong sa tapat namin mismo maupo. "San ka nga pala natulog kagabi?" Joanne whispered to me just as we were already starting to eat. "I slept in Jeremiah's room. Tumakas na ako pagkatapos ng seven minutes na yun. Medyo nahilo
