i'd like you to meet my...

...boyfriend.

for the record, he's my first and only so far.

his name is Race. lol, weird huh? named like that bodyguard guy from johnny quest, if you still remember that cartoon, let's see, i think that guy's name was... race bannon. well, anyway i've got my own race who's gonna look after me now. *kilig*

before we got acquainted, i've been seeing him around a lot of times. here and there, i dunno, i guess it was just a matter of time. fro mthe looks of it, he's pretty popular, a head-turner even, but he just didn't appeal to me back then. i mean he looked like he was a nice guy and everything, a gentlemen, but there just wasn't that oomph-ness which made me go ga-ga over him at first.

it was a cold night when i saw him in an outdoor shop in downtown. i thought to myself, heck why not approach this guy, who i can't seem to shake off, and get to know him. as i got closer, i found myself liking him, more so when we got past after the mandatory exchange of 'how ya doin' and comments on the weather. its like being hit in the head with a bottle, you know? like, why didn't you walk up to him sooner?! after just about a half hour, i was madly hooked on him.

like me, he wasn't born here in america. he is originally from japan but he came here a long time ago. so he's very americanized. i'm still a wee bit taller, but for the most part, we're almost the same height, though he's definitely leaner. we just look perfect together. he's sophisticated, no-nonsense type of guy but absolutely knows how to have fun, and did i mention good-looking? lol...

so after about an hour of hooking up, we became an us. everything was so mutual, like those lines in the movies. 'where have you been all my life?' yeah, everything suddenly had a place in the universe. and i was in heaven.

we went home past midnight, i snuck him into the house, but unfortunately my aunt was still up. long story short, they accepted him. what a surprise, i guess if it really is meant to be, everything will give way. so that night, he moved in with me. hihi. all i can say is, whether you want it fast or slow, he's absolutely awesome to ride. haha. especially in the ups and downs... so positively... uh, next paragraph please... haha

i'm just glad that i took the risk that night and bared my whole heart out for the world to mock. i'm thankful that i did. =)

though he gets a little jealous when i tell him about my other guys, even though there never really was an "us" with those other guys. he's especially jealous of Revs...

and if you're wondering how we look together, here's a pic for the curious: (and yea, i'm putting on pounds... not the currency)

...and if you're disappointed that it wasn't what you thought it was, well... i'm gonna be single for life, remember?! haha... or maybe until thirty, whichever comes first. haha. =p

his full name, by the way, is honda accord. ;-) and yes, we do name our cars, my first was revs(toyota revo) of course, then for about a couple of months here i used neville(pontiac bonneville). my bro has tanya(nissan xterra), and the other cars in our family have names which don't depart that much from their real names. we had a car before, a tamaraw fx, which we named darna, cause they used her in the car's commercials way back in the day, lol. why name your car? apart from its easier to reference, it sort of gives you a certain level of comfort in that you make yourself believe that you understand each other. plus, they're great converstationists(read: listeners) during long drives. race is the first i can truly call my own, and with getting him, i am now a member of the american working class(people who are in debt up to their eyeballs, lol. technically defined as those with a credit report[and score]... lol.).
