prince charming

last time, i wrote a post about my 'myth.' this time i decided to write about the first male category or type (whichever works for you) that girls fall in love with.

men often wonder why it is such a common thing for the female gender to be in search of their archetype (mr.perfect) or their prince charming. this can be answered by saying 'fairy tale.' ever heard of the book 'all i really need to know i learned in kindergarten' by robert fulghum? there you go! that's the answer i will give you. still don't understand? ok, think of the minds of children as programs, what you feed their brains is processed...not in a matter of seconds but in a matter of years-well, until the subject matter is fully grasped and understood. what i'm saying is that until there are no more questions about a particular subject matter, which is in their subconscious, it will continue to remain there. how does that explain the 'prince charming' girls have in their heads? fairy tales in the form of books, cartoons, anything visual remains in the minds of these children. the first type of men that they would see that they could possibly have a romantic relationship with, would be someone that will be their prince charming. savvy? there are two ways that this thought will be processed as they grow older...that their prince charming exists or that they will come to terms that there is no prince charming. intiendes?

moving on...

have you seen the film 'shall we dance'? not the japanese version (original)! i'm talking about the remake starring richard gere, susan sarandon, and j.lo. i didn't enjoy the film...storyline is too simple. what i do have is a favorite scene!

favorite scene from the film:
susan sarandon was fixing the setup at the place where she's working (mall?)...then here comes richard gere, going up the escalator looking all dashing in his suit, with flowers in hand, and goes up to her.

yup, i like that scene a lot. i mean imagine, you are working really hard and here comes your prince who can literally make you feel weak in the knees and will take you away from all the stress and chaos of work.

after watching the film, i told myself that that was a scene i'd want to see in real life. have i? what do you think?! would i write about it if i haven't? :)

my favorite true to life scene from the recent past:

it was at the powerplant mall gig...we were located at a nice area and our little stage was directly in front of the escalator (well, ok a few feet away but still...). i would always look at the escalator waiting for my friends to go up from there to catch the set. anyway, so i was growing weary waiting and decided to just give the set my all with or without their presence. i mean some of them came already (a lot earlier)...i should be gracious that they even came. :) back, back to the story. so, i'm singing right? then i see this huge bouquet of flowers and this tall guy all dressed up. he was wearing all white...white long sleeved polo (folded 3/4), fishermans pants, and white slippers (flipflops). i thought in my head 'this guy can dress!' the clothes he wore really fit his height and built. ok, so i noticed his clothes first. hehehe! when i looked up at his face his hair was all fixed and he looked really good...not handsome but i found him very attractive. yes, he took my breath away at that moment. :) weird thing is i noticed that the few times he glanced at our stage was when he saw the plastic bag i used to carry my clothes, the top i was wearing, and...hmm that's all...i was too shy to look at him. :) why? i have my reasons. hehehe! then i looked at my sister who was signalling at me, pointing at that guy. darnit, she knew him! hahaha! she mouthed his name and i felt my jaw drop. the guy whose picture i saw in her college yearbook looked a lot different in person! i remember asking my sister (upon seeing the picture) 'that guy was a hearthrob?! you must be kidding!' ok, i ate my words! upon knowing who he was, i understood why he noticed the bag and my top. so, he's the prince charming of the girl he brought the flowers to, nice right? :)

off topic comedy moment:
so i saw that guy (i'm not naming names!)...i'll name him 'richard' for now. why richard? i have two reasons...1) how i saw him, reminded me of my fave scene in 'shall we dance' 2) i'm not telling because it's too obvious and you'll know who i am talking about :P moving on...i was singing a common electro-house song and guess what, i forgot the lyrics all of a sudden. a former, was at my back making comments about me forgetting the lines...and yes, i was stopping myself from laughing. :P

my story:

it was at another gig, i wanted someone to be there sooo badly but that person couldn't make it. the next best thing would be seeing my friend from the oversees who i was not counting on to make it...why? he's from the oversees, he's one busy busy guy and i was up against so many people for his attention and time. vocally, i was doing a great job that night...how could i not, i was imagining them both there. :) i already reached the middle of my set and i gave up on the thought that my friend would even make it. then from where i was, i see this dashing guy enter the venue. he was all dressed up and he was looking straight at me. it was my dear dear dear friend! he went to me and ofcourse greeted me. all the girls in the venue were looking at him and yeah i was thinking in my 'ha! he's here to see me!' rest of the story is mine to keep. that night he was my prince charming, he saved me from disappointment and a bit of sadness. oh the drama! hahaha

best part of the story was the ride home, my older sister was telling me that while i was singing, he was telling her how proud he was of me and that he was really enjoying my set.

i can say that this friend of mine is the real deal, he's probably the prince charming of many many many girls out there or here. i'm proud of him too not just because of how he carries himself but how he is as a person. one day he will find his princess and i will be there cheering for them.

prince charming part 3

have i found my prince charming? i don't know but i've had my fairy tale moments. am i waiting to find that one guy who will be able to take my breath away, make my heart beat so fast and make it skip a beat the moment i see him, or make me feel weak in the knees and light headed just by the thought of him? no i'm not waiting for that moment to come. if it happens, fantastic, i'll be one lucky girl...if not, then i'm still one very lucky girl. :) the moment that i'm talking about happened already, a long time ago, it's unexplainable but he's no longer my prince. he's not my shining star either. do i have a shining star? yes i do but not a prince charming. i wrote a post about a prayer...subject of the post is 'ho ritrovato,' that would answer what i am looking for.

it's good to dream...it's an inexpensive past time...just don't get caught up in dreamland while you still have a reality to live.

off topic:

Oh wait wait!!! i just had to share! about the guy who went up the escalator, the one i named 'richard' in this post...so i was surfing the net the other night. one of those random net surfing moments. i happened upon some photos posted at a photo blog...it was from a photoshoot taken the same night of my mall gig. lo and behold there he was! wearing the exact outfit he wore that day. :) to my girl friends, if you want to see the pic, let me know, i'll send you the link ;)


'til the next post, take care dearies!
