What Full Social Calendar?

by Rheeno

Rheeno is a good friend who has a sensible mind in writing and passionate heart in fashion styling.

Remember how I blurbed about people becoming their own paparazzi? Or how I commented on the banality and shallowness of posting one's social calendar on onlne social networks?

Guess what? I've been there. For months, actually. Making my life appear interesting by bragging about where I've been last night or last weekend. That's what you get when you're not into a relationship - a full social calendar!

This is so Gossip Girl, but what can one do when one's single? Go out with friends and making yourself visible in as many places as possible of course.

Several shopping centers in one day, several bars and clubs in one night, several events in one month - too bad my deigner friend Nikki isn't going to present this coming Philippine Fashion Week S/S2010. His boyfriend will present though. And as much as I can get into the guestlist, what's the use, I have work at the time of Popo's show.

Being out and about is for a socialite and I'm not. It's expensive, I must know - and am not rich. However, you just have to be there - wherever that is.

Being single, I can do anything I want and go anywhere I want. yet, sometimes, I think having a relationship can be better if that means lessening your goings out.

It sure is true when people say that single people always look good to be able to catch someone. (The rest goes like: those in relationships also always look good so that their partners won't leave them.) Oh and one friend told me that one doesn't have need a relationship when you're good looking. I told her, what's the use of one's beauty if no one appreciates it.

I've actually tried not posting anything about my social calendar anymore. I also don't take pictures anymore. Well, there are pictures but I don't post them online anymore.

I also try not to talk much about what I did where because I know that I'd just be covering up my uninteresting love life - or my life for that matter. I'm with friends and all but that's it - it can get boring sometimes, i must admit. I miss my old friends but I miss dating as well.

I really don't know what to do now, but the previous weekend has been busy and so will the next.

How I wish I'll bump into someone who'll be interested in me.

Maybe I go to the wrong places and with wrong people but I'm tired of playpens - clubs. Though, I wonder if there has been any new interesting places, let alone, any new interesting people.

Here I am, trying to live my life as usual - busy at work, busy with friends - definitely not enough. Eating out's Tiffany might be a slut but she was right when she said she needed some shake and bake in her life. I'd opt for that than a safe and sometimes boring nights out with friends.

Tata said I should wait for love to come, but I told him, defiantly, that sometimes, flirting is way better.

(Shoot, I got busy at work and I forgot what to write next, bummer.)
