Dear Future Boyfriend,

You most probably do not know who I am up to this point so I'm writing you this letter to give you a heads up of what you're getting yourself into. Let this serve as a warning.

I have an IQ of 200% lunacy and an EQ of 120% wreck. I have finished school surviving mostly on whims and gut-feeling. I highly rely on my stock knowledge matched with a reliable short term memory. I like to read but I mostly prefer the movie versions no matter how bad were the reviews. I like poetry and stories and plays. Drama is the main ingredient of my colorful life and I can guarantee you there are no dull moments. The boredom mostly comes when I ran out of things to do (or most likely forget some) but you can rely on me to come up with spontaneous ideas or activities to kill time.

I love siomai and fried (and cut up) tofu. I like asking for lots of catsup for my fries and burger. I love veggies over meat but they can always go together. You see, I'm very diplomatic. And do understand that if I do order for 3 servings of siomai, one is for you, the rest would be for me. I get grumpy when I don't get to satisfy my craving. Gyoza is my alternative for siomai and arguments can be settled with peace offerings like this. As for the tofu, since they are easy to find and prepare, expect that there would be no problems.

I am very sensitive, but that doesn't mean I don't joke around. I have a very ridiculous laughter and I do laugh my heart out (figuratively). I get sensitive enough to know that there is something wrong and playful enough to stay up playing cards, uno stack-o, or paper stick and stone with you. Or if your testosterone calls for it, I can play Call of Duty, Command and Conquer, or Assassin's Creed, but I warn you, you have to play Dance Central with me too.

I like talking about my day, not because I want to blabber. It's just somehow my way of trying to let you know how much I wish you were there with me at that moment. I will ask you about yours and if you are fine all the time, not as a routine, but because I really want to know.

Time is very important for me. The longer hours I get to spend with you, the happier I am. But it's those little 5 minutes or less that you remember to hit me up and let me know that you're there that I treasure. I may be forgetful of dates and anniversaries or memorable events, but that doesn't mean I really forget. Help me remember and I'm sure I'd know it.

Sleeping is a holy ritual you do not want to interrupt. I get grumpy if I am forced to rise for the most ridiculous reasons, but if you really need to, do it gently and as slowly as possible. Otherwise, I'm up and preparing your breakfast and stuff.

Music is a part of me. I sing in the shower, or along with a song playing on the radio. It may not be golden so just shut up about it. It has saved me in so many instances in my life and helped me be myself. It has kept me sane all these years. So forgive me if I suddenly just start singing out of nowhere and if I keep on playing the same track over and over for days.

Balls. Yes, I like men with balls…the balls to tell the truth and the balls to stand up when the occasion calls for it. I do not like men who do more talking than doing. Trust that I appreciate honesty. Do note that I can sense if I am being lied to. And trust that I will find out.

I am not every guy’s dream girl, but I can be your reality. I do like hearts and chocolates and cuddly stuff toys. But I like road trips and eat outs better. I can be your girly girlfriend, but I like doing things on my own like fixing mechanical stuff and computers and broken contraptions. I am not perfect and I will not promise you anything at all except that if you do decide to walk in my life, you instantly have my loyalty and faithfulness.

  And if you think you’re not up for the challenge, better get the hell out of here.

  Yours truly,
