every nine seconds

"They say men think about sex every 28 seconds. Of course, that's straight men. With gay men, it's every nine."

I was not surprised my sex life (or lack thereof) became, once again, a topic of discussion a couple of days ago. Call it a post-team-building thing -- especially since it seems we never get tired of discussing it. Hehe.

Besides, like I said before, activities and experiences like that make one do some introspection... do some sort of action items (read: lists, which I've yet to complete). And the one that keeps popping up regardless of who I talk to is this: I should be more aggressive in the dating scene.

After all, quoting Bob Ong (daw):

Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo... Dapat lumandi ka din.

(Side note: why is it that Bob Ong and his quotes are circulating in the blogosphere recently? I've read this in at least three blogs. May bago ba syang book na kaka-publish lang? Maybe I should start reading his works na.)

That's another thing -- start (re)reading. And not just fiction... I should teach myself to appreciate work-related, non-fiction books more, despite that initial ehh feeling that, you know, they're meant to brainwash the masses.

Wait, I remember saying this a while ago. So:

1. Be more aggressive in the dating scene
2. Read more
3. Write more (and start that dratted novel-version of this blog)
4. Take chances
5. Follow through goddammit
   

Still thinking of other things to add...
