Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I’m still trying to learn the art of love

If I forget to get the door
Remind you that you’re beautiful
I know my detail requires more attention
If I ever hurt you it’s not my intention
Cause we’re gonna make our mistakes
Find out how much your heart can take
But I know that you got my back
And baby I got yours

Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I’m still trying to learn the art of love

Sometimes I’m gonna miss
I’m still learning how to give
I’m not giving up
I’m still learning how to love
Learning how to love…
Learning how to love

Cause I’m still learning the art of love
I’m still trying to not mess up
So whenever I stumble let me know
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out
You need to spell it out for me
Cause I’m still trying to learn the art of love
(The art of love)

Still learning (art of love)
Still learning (art of love)
Still learning (art of love)
Still trying to learn the art of love
Still learning, I’m still learning (art of love)
Still learning (art of love)
I’m gonna get it sometimes, cause I’m still learning
Still learning (art of love)
Still learning (art of love)
Still learning (art of love)
The art art of love

Today I stumbled upon your new car while I was strolling on my way home. It’s the new Toyota Prius.

I must admit that I do not always find your Toyota cars to be that stunning. Yes, your cars are very reliable – that’s given. But to have me and other people look, feel and touch the Toyota Prius over and over again was really something.

After doing a bit of research, I found out that the Prius is a full-hybrid car relying on a specially-made engine to burn fuel very efficiently. I would like to take it for a test drive.

I also searched for more photos of your Prius because I cannot get over it. Here are some that I found for my readers:

So Toyota, all I can say is that it’s never too late to give me a Christmas present. I want a Prius!

So would I drive a classic car? Well to own one – maybe not (If I had the money I’d rather spend on the latest car models). But to try to drive one, why not? I would personally love to take the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray for a test drive! How about you?

We all know that in most Western countries the art of Speed Dating is no longer new in the ear since it is already a regular, or more of a usual event that happens once in a while. In the Philippine setting meanwhile, not every person is aware of what Speed Dating is all about, and how it really works.

I had my first taste of Speed Dating pre-Valentines of 2009 in an affair conducted by ICE productions called, “Single Hearts”. It was my first, and I had zero idea on how the whole process actually works. For all I know is that everyone will sit and will have the chance to do the talking with different girls for a short period of time, and after which either the male or the female will make their move to the next seat facing another potential date.

Try to recall your first day in college where orientations for block sections are usually conducted in order to get to know your new peers well. The same thing applies in Speed Dating. First things first, registration is needed in order to join the event. Second, you have to send your name, contact number and picture –usually via e-mail – , and not to mention, you have to be SINGLE (to be fair) in order to qualify for the game. Notification follows after which.

On the actual event, checking of names at the registration booth happens first, then name tags would be distributed after. These name tags are required to be worn by each individual during the entire process of the game.

Moving on inside the venue, speed daters are usually gathered where seats are already aligned and arranged. Male speed daters must be seated face-to-face with female speed daters. During the idle time of waiting for the other speed daters, don’t be surprised if some speed daters who are already in the venue would do the initiation to introduce themselves. You could do the same and eventually notice that some speed daters go to the event alone. So don’t be intimidated whenever you feel like approaching the cute girl seated across you.

In the event when everyone is already present and the list is in complete attendance, the host will most likely conduct several parlor games for all speed daters. The purpose of which is to build teamwork, and moreover to break the ice and barricades hindering each individual. Games usually allow each speed dater the chance to chat with their fellow teammates, as if you are just chatting with an acquaintance from high school while playing.

After the parlor games, the host will then start the whole essence of speed dating. Just imagine the setting of a tea party where seats are all facing each other. In my case, the females are the ones who must transfer to the next seat, every after the host says so. So usually a few minutes are given for each couple to get to know each other, and what amazes me the most is how you get to know the character, persona and little background of several people in a short span of time. I felt like I was a talking machine that needs to talk non-stop because once the actual speed dating starts, there will be no water breaks.

My mouth and butt literally hurt badly after. But the thought that you get to indulge yourself in something crazy and spontaneous like this (picture out talking to like 50 girls non-stop and getting to know the details and brief descriptions and backgrounds of each after the other) blew all the pain off. In formal speed dating, the host usually gives away a card to each speed dater for them to list down the girls that they find attractive. The host will usually conduct a compatibility test if who matches whom, and after which they give away the number of your match. This means to say, it must be a win-win situation where both parties agree that both of them are a possible match.

In my speed dating experience though, after the chitchat, a paper is attached at the back of each speed dater and any random girls can write at my back without me knowing which of the numerous messages written belongs to whom. After the writing segment, you will get the chance to learn the views, perspectives, comments, and opinions of the girls towards your personality, performance and being. In my case, I received positive feedback.

The event usually wraps up with awards for the best dressers, good-looking couple, potential couples and the likes. Sponsored products are given away after which, and if you are gutsy enough, you could start exchanging digits to other speed daters.

At the end of the day though, whether you still label yourself as single or not, speed dating does not really guarantee relationships, yet you will learn that it is a very safe and healthy environment to meet potential partners, and even lovers.

For our PGG readers,  have you ever joined speed dating? How was it like?

During our lunchbreak yesterday, we had funny conversations with my office friends. We were actually talking about Father’s Day – an annual event which has caused much confusion to all of us and surprisingly, even to members of the PGG Forums. I’ve always thought that Father’s day is on the second Sunday of June but it’s not. It’s on the third Sunday of June which is tomorrow.

So much for the intro. Anyway for the past years, I have always observed that sometimes dads are considered less important than moms. I don’t know if you observed that too, but it’s always the case that dads are perceived as a parent who is not emotionally expressive and who doesn’t need much attention as moms do. But in my opinion both parents should be equally given much importance and attention. So tomorrow, make sure to make Father’s day a special day for your dad. I know that someday we will also become fathers too.

Then today as I was browsing through Father’s day articles I stumbled upon International Men’s Day and I could hardly believe that such an event exists because no one seems to celebrate it here in the Philippines. And since Pinoy Guy Guide is a men’s blog, I thought that it would be nice to share with you that International Men’s day falls every year on November 19th. Hmmm, quite far but at least we now know. So do you think that as guys, we are so underrated? What do you think?

1. Philippine Fashion Week 2008

If I’m not mistaken this is the second Philippine Fashion Week for 2008. Perhaps they are conducting it every season of the year? So anyway, the said event started last October 22 and will continue through October 29 at SM Mall of Asia’s Atrium and the SMX Convention Center. A friend of mine was lucky enough to attend the event yesterday and he said that Angel Locsin is really pretty in person. By the way, Angel models for Folded and Hung apparel. If you want to see eye candy models like Angel, SMX is the way to go

2. Consumer Electronics Live

I was informed by BPI Edge Credit Card that I get a free entrance at this year’s Consumer Electronics Live in Manila 2008. I believe that this is similar to the Consumer Electronics Show which is being held in the US where electronic and technology companies showcase their latest products, gadgets and appliances. If you want to attend the event, it is currently being held at SM Mall of Asia. The show started yesterday, October 24, and will last up to tomorrow, October 26. Accordingly, the exhibit includes the latest mobile phones, computers, laptops, home theater systems and so much more. If you have a passion for technology, here’s a great place to go. As for me, I hope to find time tomorrow to catch up and see the event.

3. Cream Halloween Ball

Bored for the halloween? Don’t be because Big Fish Manila will once again conduct another halloween costume dance party. This will be held on October 30 at the World Trade Center. So, if you’re up for the gimmick, you better buy your tickets now.

4. Chris Brown and Rihanna live in Taguig!

I first heard about Chris Brown coming in Manila last August. I thought that it was a joke because I never heard about it again. But the next time I heard about it, it was even better for he’s coming along with Rihanna to have a major live concert at Taguig this November 16! Music lovers: get your tickets now.

I hope I’ve updated you with the latest happenings in the city. Stay tuned to PGG for more by subscribing through email or by joining the online forums.

I bet that the majority of us have seen in the news the on-going economic recession in the US that has resulted into banks and insurance companies collapsing left and right. But in terms of men’s style and fashion, I couldn’t help but ask – is there also a perfume recession going on?

This is what came into my mind when I saw all perfumes on sale this weekend. I happened to pass by Ayala and SM malls to pay my bills and lo and behold, perfumes were on sale at 10%, 30%, and even 50% off!

I felt like I was a kid brought into a candy store when I saw Davidoff’s Cool Water, Hugo Dark Blue and almost all of the other well-known original fragrances selling for buy 1 take 1! So guys, if you are opting to buy yourselves signature perfumes for Christmas, now is the time!

And now that we only have a few days left, I’m so excited to watch the upcoming worldwide sporting event, at least on TV. It’s been my dream to watch the Olympic Games Live, and I hope it would happen in London 2012.

So to all of the guys out there who are fans of the Games, I’d like to share with you some of the stuffs to do to be ready for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games:

1. Collect McDonald’s/Coca-cola Olympic Contour Glass

I find myself hilarious for visiting McDonald’s 5 days straight, just to collect this glass! Imagine having lunch at McDo with my friends from Monday to Friday just to be able to collect them all but I’m glad I did. I now have all the 5 different glasses but by the end of that week, my friends and I all smelled like Chicken McDo Value Meal!

2. Wear the Adidas Philippine Track Jacket

I first posted about this jacket back in March before its release date in April. It is really a beautiful limited edition jacket to show your support for Pinoy athletes! Sadly, after having lots of reservations from Adidas, it became out-of-stock on the very first day of its release. So as much as I want to wear one, I will not be able to. If you have this jacket, all I can say is you’re one lucky guy!

3. Don’t miss the date

08/08/08 at 8 PM is the opening ceremony of the XXIX Olympiad. Don’t miss the event. It will be covered mostly by Solar Sports and RPN9 according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer. I wish our athletes good luck!

Just a thought: Do you think that the Philippines will get a Gold this time around?

First of all, PGG’s top 3 picks on the current hits are:

I. Damn Regret by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (man, I love this band)
II. Always Be My Baby by David Cook of American Idol
III. Leavin’ by Jesse McCartney

James Blunt – known for his 2005 hit “You’re Beautiful” just finished his concert at the Araneta Coliseum last Monday. Now here we have some more news about upcoming music events. So if you’re interested read on to make sure you won’t miss anything.

1. The Click Five – famous for songs like “Jenny“, “Just the Girl” and “Empty” will be in Manila to have a full-blown concert at the Araneta Coliseum on May 30, 2008. And since they are more of a Pop music band, expect that most of their fans are girls. But hey don’t get me wrong, their songs are really, really good!

2. Chris Daughtry’s band named after his surname Daughtry is coming to Manila this July 29, 2008 at 8PM in Eastwood. Chris Daughtry is a former American Idol contestant famous for his hit song “Home”

3. Westlife is back?
This is interesting. I heard their new single “Something right” in the airwaves last week. And I’m surprised that after so many years they remain to be a strong band even if they lost one of their members. Their new single sounds like the Westlife we used to know in the early 2000’s but hey, it’s quickly topping the hit charts even during today’s alternative/rock-band era.

That’s it for now. Until the next update… Subscribe to Pinoy Guy Guide
