Fête de la Musique in Metrowalk Ortigas last Saturday (20 June 2009) was fun. While I didn't get to watch a lot of bands--saw only a few, with Turbogoth and Taken by Cars as the ones I remember the most--it was the conversation with some friends after (over a few bottles of beer) which made the night an amusing one to recall.
I can not quite remember who brought the topic up: the bare minimum requirement for a relationship. I misinterpreted the question as the "worst guy who you can imagine yourself going out on one date with," this is surprising considering that no one has even mentioned any of those words in the conversation. I had even enumerated requirements such as listens to Spongecola and 33 yo as the bare minimum. (I would never date anyone who can not offer me a good song, and is beyond 5 years my senior.)
Thinking about it now, I know at least one type which I am pretty sure to stay away from: an Aquarius.
I have only dated two Aquarians in my entire life. However, this does not mean that I do not know any Aquarius. In fact, thinking about it now and counting all the people I do not like and am disgusted at, it would be safe to say that a notable majority of them are Aquarius.
If you are an Aquarius and you are reading this, I suggest for you to do any of the two things below:
(1) Stop reading from this point on or
(2) Help me change my mind.
3) A boy born on the same day as my father. I will not put his name here. Two things I do not like most about this boy are: he uses people as an emotional crutch for happiness and that he is too clingy. I remember the exact moment I began to feel disgusted the moment he told me: "I know you love me too." Holyfvck, what? Ugh, NO.
4 & 5) My aunt and one of her daughters. Thinking about these two reminds me of the worst betrayals in my life. Considering their very narrow mind and their rigidity in opinion, I should have never been surprised that these Aquarians would never listen to other people's opinion other than the ones they are already accustomed to.
6) My cousin born on the 14th of February. This cousin of mine deserves an entry altogether. Which is what I will be doing within the week.
7) A college roomie born on the same day as my father. No, this isn't the one I tried to poison (lol). Conservative, possessive, and very judgmental. Our falling apart began when she started reading the messages in my phone suspecting that her girlfriend is cheating on her with me. While she remains to be one of the two Aquarians who are still dear to me, our relationship had gone from being warm to cold.
Because Aquarius left a bad taste in my mouth, I would like to declare that one of the bare minimum requirements for a harmonious relationship with me is that they are not Aquarius.
And because posts are better with photos, here is one of the two photos taken of me in Fête (from L to R) Nikki, JJ, Kath, Helga and Kel. (almost in photo is Alex):

One thing I notice about Aquarius is their need to prove that they are always right, how they are "better than thou", they are also very contrarian and have this need to always have a say on everything. All of them are very dogmatic and have this rigid, quite traditional view on almost everything. (I am not one to say that all Aquarius are like that, only the ones I know)
As of writing, I know 7 Aquarians who I severely detest the guts of. The thing with me and people from this sign, is that I start off pretty warm with them. I begin with a natural affinity and love for them which eventually turns into a severe disgust I lovingly wish them schadenfreude everyday.
1) My father. My father is an Aquarius born on the 12th of February. I actually know two other people born on this day, and I dislike them both. Out of respect for the man, and the fact that it was father's day yesterday, I will not say anything much about my father. Needless to say, he is in this list.
2) Jake Doctor, born on the 7th of February. My relationship with Jake is one which started out of mutual respect. We helped each other out in times of need, I made his Legal Philosophy paper and he stood by me during my mother's stroke. It would have not been so bad had I not been demonized by him because of some things I will not discuss here. After him asking me to continue being friends by exchanging correspondence, he magically disappears on me right after he asked me to help him with a letter he needs for law school. Way to go, asshole.

Celebration Guns: New Order - Your Silent Face
Maintenance Hall, 10 am | Count Stars on the Ceiling
blah

weird
nerdy
This is where I work now, I am married to a different planet. Although this isn't really where I want to be, I can say, at the least I am thankful. Thankful that at least I have a job to keep myself busy. That getting a job means extra income for me and my brother and sisters. That means that at least the monthly electricity bill is covered. Maybe even the water bill. That even though my mom is very far away from us today, at least I know she is well taken care of. That she's fine at least, sans the occasional loneliness she feels from being apart from us. But a stroke victim has to be taken care of, and with the scarcity of funds in this household, we very well know my aunt is a better place for her, for now. Of course, there is always some room for improvement. But who am I to question God's plan. I know things will be better in HIS own due time.
I would like to thank
