Stalking 101

This post is a copy of my now defunct Friendster blog. Friendster blog just isn't good, so I migrated all my posts from there to here.

I am a stalker.

And I believe that only intelligent people have the ability to stalk.

So I must be (even if only for a bit) intelligent.

So today, why must I talk about stalkers when the Philippines is melting under the sun while politicians, unmindful of the heat, continue singing their songs and flapping their wings into the beat of the election dance?

It’s because I don’t care. And so shouldn’t you.

But doesn’t it give me creeps to command you not to care while I silently maneuver you into caring about me — ehem — by making you read my blog? Probably yes. (Enter scary movie stinger ala The Ring) But why should it when you don’t care? And if you did or didn’t care, should I care?

But enough of the questions that could not be satisfactorily answered. Let me refresh you about my proposition so that we already can get into the meat of this.

I am a stalker. The height of my stalking career came in 2000, when I first fell in love, and then in 2004, when I had one of my biggest crushes.

I fell in love with a beautiful college freshman when I was in my second year. It started in June and ended in October. So it must have been a one-semester love affair — if it was a love affair. (You see, I still have this fear of calling it that. My idea of any relationship even then required mutuality, even in calling the relationship a relationship.) I made my way to being close with her by, first, stalking her. I "stole" her number from her classmate’s cellphone when someone from the dorm asked me to hand the cellphone to its owner. And the rest is history.

But my stalking powers didn’t stop there. Because even after the October end-of-the-affair part of our whatever-it-was-called affair, I actually continued stalking her. Needless to say (and redundant if mentioned but I still nevertheless am mentioning), I stalked her without her knowing.

(To be continued…)

In the meantime, I am pasting you a link to one of the best personal webpages I have seen. I really like it for its simplicity and forwardness. I will paste more of my favorite webpages (sans erotica et porno pages) next time.
