Winning The Lotto

I've been hearing a lot about the latest 6/49 Lotto pot prize that has now reached 150 million. And since my place is just 2 houses away from a lotto outlet, I decided to try my luck.

I have actually made a bet before, but that was along time ago, and I was not the one who lined up--- I just waited at the nearest batchoy stand, had a giant bowl and half an hour later, my Kuya came back with my ticket.

This time it's different. I had to line up on my own along with a lot of other people who are just as hopeful to win the jackpot. It feels weird. The outlet was a small airconditioned room that smelled like feet, and there were about 50 men analyzing numbers and lining up to place their bets. It's cut throat island, and the last time I had this impression on a place was when I went to Philhealth to fix my lover's membership problems.

I don't know anything about the game. All I know is that i have 6 random numbers in my head. I couldn't care if there really was a way to "analyze" these things, like duh, if there really was a scientific way to know the lucky 6 numbers that would come up, then duh, snap me off from it coz I just don't have the time for that. And besides, my brain isn't really made for analysis, that I'm 100% sure.

And if I win the $150 million jackpot, then consider this my last post coz I'm so gonna go on long vacation.

25 Random Things About Me

I was tagged by Lem, Krisjohn and Gil , and I promised to do it over the weekend so here goes:

1. My name would have been “Lucas Pareja” but my parent’s changed their minds on the 11th hour.

2. They named me “Keith” instead to honor our pet cat “Kit” who gave birth the same day I was born on my mother’s wedding old dress. Until now, my folks would still say that I had a twin and it’s a cat. Yeah I know, it creeps me out big time, too.

3. I used to weigh 300 lbs in highschool and early college, I had a 44-inch waistline. I was BIG!

4. I started to lose weight when I left home to live on my own halfway through college, and totally lost it all off when I broke my heart after graduation.

5. As a kid, I used to have the biggest crush on Gino Padilla.

6. I do not own any white underwear. Not EVER.

7. And speaking of underwear, I have a “lucky underwear”, the one that I wear on job interviews, or very important meetings, or auditions. It’s not 100% lucky but it sure has gotten me through a lot of “sticky” situations.

8. I’m a chubby-chaser. Chubby guys are hot.

9. I have an addiction to cotton buds. I can’t sleep without cleaning my ears and I cant leave home without cleaning my ears (again). Weird.

10. I still have recurring dreams that I’m climbing a wall. I had that dream since I waS 12.

11. I almost died with this crazy diet that I designed. You just eat gummy bears and coffee for one week and you’ll be deliciously skinny after. J No I’m never gonna have that again.

12. I used to make charcoal portraits. I used to make good money from it wayback college. I’ve never drawn for almost 3 years now. My sketchbooks are all boxed up and neatly put away.

13. I am a loner much as I am a very sociable person. I prefer to eat alone, watch a movie alone, shop alone, bar-hop alone or whatever.

14. I have a long-lost half-sister that I have met for the FIRST time last year.

15. My most memorable scar is the one in my right knee. I had it when I had a fight with a kid coz we we’re fighting over who’s gonna be Gambit.

16. I own the biggest mirror in the office. How big is it? It's almost twice the size of my monitor.

17. I stopped schooling when I was in Grade 2 because of Ana Luna.

18. I sing in the treadmill. Loud singing.

19. The stupidest thing that I did as a teenager was using shampoo to brush my teeth.

20. When I read a book, I first read the last three chapters so I would know the ending. Yeah I know it’s weird but that’s the way I do things.

21. I have dreams of becoming a Senator, a tri-athlete and a soap-opera star. However, it is my ultimate dream to help save our planet and be an environmentalist one day.

22. I have a giant “tanday” at home, and I cannot sleep without it. I name it after my current lover, so it has changed names 8 times. I’m currently single, so my tanday is nameless.

23. I can’t sleep without lotioning my feet. It’s a habbit I got from Mon.

24. When I’m really really stressed, I go to church and cry. I find it really funny when I cry in church and people look at me and I show them the finger. Hahaha

25. My biggest weakness is Mathematics. Everyone in the family are math wizards except me. Dang, it's the one thing I need to fulfill my dreams of becoming a rocket scientist.

Happy Birthday, Winnie the Pooh!

Happy birthday Wineeeee!

Random Thoughts At Work

I am having the craziest week at work. And I'm having this in the midst of nursing a broken heart still. But then again, nothing that I can't handle. So...


GOD is too wise to be mistaken...
GOD is too good to be unkind...
so when you dont understand..
when you dont see HIS plan...
when you can't trace HIS hand...
HAVE FAITH AND TRUST HIS HEART.

False Alarm

As I was half-asleep this morning, I took a glance at my phone to see if I had some important messages. It’s actually like my natural reflex to look at my phone the very second I wake up. I was still in that groggy state between wakefulness and sleep so my brain could only fathom fragments of words and names.


And then a text with the word “Valentine ‘s” caught my eye. Long message from an anonymous number. I almost jumped out from bed. Woah, someone is asking me out!!! Oh there must be a God! Or could this be good Feng Shui??


I read it again just to make sure. And then the text says:

Happy Valentines! May date man o wala, pwede kang manalo ng 100,000 sa Globe!
Just type Valentines (space) and send to 2366.

When Do You Know It's Over?

When do you know it's over with the one you love the most?

You know it's over when you go back to the arms of your best friend and admit that everything went out of control, and that you're back because you can no longer fight it alone.

Our bestfriends, the ones nearest to our hearts, know when exactly we're in deep shit.

Even when we don't talk about it, these people automatically would know that something's not right.

And no matter how we cover it all up, our bestfriends would find out. And with just one look, they assure you that things are gonna go just fine.

Thanks Rayn. Just knowing that you're there makes a world of difference.

Count Me Out. Let Me Be A Hermit This Year

It’s the first day of February, and as always people are raving about Valentine’s Day. All the happy single people have been putting up with the effort of looking for their right match, at least for Valentine’s--- you know, someone they can have some great conversation with, or maybe watch a Valentine movie with, or maybe dinner, or maybe have an awesome one-night stand.

Count me out. Let me be a hermit this year. I’ve had everything planned out already---- I will be spending my Valentine weekend alone at the beach. I have made my reservations already, and all I need is a nice bottle of sweet wine, 3 packs of Marlboro, a couple of romantic movies downloaded in my laptop, some nice board shorts, my camera and my snorkel. J I’m going back to my water-baby roots.

Now don’t get me wrong. If I had a choice, I’d spend Valentine’s with someone rather than just sulk down alone. I mean, nothing sounds better than having a hand to hold on Valentine’s Day . Last year was the greatest actually, my then- lover and I went to Clark and Manila, stayed at a nice hotel, ate like 20 times a day and had sex like pornstars.


I guess I’ve spent a lot of good Valentine’s in the past that there could only be bad one’s left. I hope not.
