What I am Not Doing or Having.

.

These are the things that I have not been doing or having at the moment. The list is representative of how my everyday life is being lived so far this 2008.

1. Dating. I am presently out of a relationship. More accurately, three relationships. Quincy and I have stopped seeing each other. Leslie left for Italy. And my relationship with Rachel imploded during the brief time that Leslie returned to the Philippines and I acted like a dutiful ex-boyfriend with closure problems. Guilty as charged.

.

2. Sex. In my gym bag there are three packs of condoms ---all ribbed, flavored, extra-sensitive and self-lubricating. And most tellingly, unused. I need to get laid. Since I am not dating or seriously seeing anyone, I am already considering mindless anonymous sex. I will be cruising bars soon. I can already picture myself.

.

3. Masturbating. This should be an option, considering 1 and 2 above, but I have been "sober" for at least six days.

4. Watching movies just because my crush is in the cast. Jumper opened in theaters last week. Even if Rachel Bilson plays a major role in the film, it has not been enough for me to include it in my social calendar. Ditto with Over Her Dead Body with Eva Longoria. What I do want to watch is Juno, which I think did not last longer than a week in theaters. Sigh.

5. Watching the PBA finals. Purefoods makes it again in this year's All-Filipino Conference. It is its 12th entry in the All-Filipino finals and the franchise's 20th appearance in a finals series in its 20th year in the league. The team lost the first two games against Sta. Lucia but was able to bounce back in last night's Game 3. I have been trying to get hold of tickets for games 4 and 5 but all that is available are upper box, first-come first-served tickets. It is better to watch the game on TV, then.

6. Watching the Maroon 5 concert. This is an act that I have been very excited to see. But since I have no date, I have decided to skip it. This may be the only chance I'll have of being up close with Adam Levine (Must Blow 43)and it's not gonna happen.

7. Watching American Idol religiously. The time slot has prevented me from following the competition this year. Last night, I was able to catch the replay while doing my cardio exercises in the gym. None of the guy's performances really impressed me. This early in the competition, the only things I can bet on is that Luke Menard is the hottest guy in the pool but will be eliminated early and that pretty boy David Archuleta is gay.

8. Watching Pinoy Idol. I watched all the episodes of last year's Philippine Idol --from the auditions until Mau Marcelo was crowned. The new station carrying the second season has announced the new line-up of host and judges. Raymond Gutierrez. Unimpressive. Jolina Magdangal. Shallow. Ogie Alcasid. Annoying. I am skipping the competition this year.

9. Trading on eBay. No time to post the extra toys that I used to sell online.

What have I been doing? Waking up in the morning, going to work, blogging, going to the gym, watching The Late Show with David Letterman, dinner with friends, shopping and beefing up my wardrobe, sleeping for five short hours. It's been routine lately.
