Just before the weekend started my good friend shiro urged me to get some writing done. It's not that I don't have anything to write about. On the contrary, I'd like to write about my trip to Pico de Loro last week, and the sidebar stories that go with it like how adobo tastes while savored at a height of 2,000 feet or how I made like Spiderman, clambering up a stone face to reach the summit.

Then of course there is this intriguing writing assignment I got from my friend, Ayvi, who edits the supplements section of the Philippine Star. For their Valentine issue she asked me to write an article on whether it is true or not that single women who are constantly in the company of gay men find it doubly hard to find/get a man. It's not saying that its bad to have gay friends or that this premise is entirely true. In my case, for example, I find that my gay friends are more the quintessential male than most guys I know. I guess some straight guys I've met don't quite measure up to my dearest friends. But more on that...next time. ^_^

To shiro, I know that you told me to "write first, Tantra later." Sorry, ol' chap, the temptation was too much. Dui bu jie! Gomen! Lolz. Don't worry, though. By the end of the week I'd have something to show for na.
