One of the Boys

I have always been comfortable with my guy friends. In fact I used to be more comfortable being with them than with the girls because some girls can't just keep it simple. I never understood (back then..wehehe) the reason why they suddenly get so excited and energized, as if 10 volts were induced into their system, whenever they see 'cute' guys. I never found any guy to be cute before. For me they are just faces.. just faces with modifications that vary from one person to another..hehe... I even like guys' activities: their hobbies, sports, the jokes they crack, the sitcoms they watch, their gadgets, etc. Another thing I like among guy groups is that they don't 'back-bite' each other. When they find someone to be irritating; they just keep it low and don't discuss it among others..well at least this is true among my guy friends.. I'm not saying that all my girl friends are back-biters, but I have had encountered some..

Being one of the boys, I don't have much problem working with men. My workplace consists of mostly men.. (and some questionable).. I am the sole female species in our project. When we travel, I am often separated from them during inspections at the airport, using comfort rooms (of course), and checking in on hotel rooms. I'm always by myself. There are times that I would still want to talk to someone, but apparently they are already set to do their boys night out, where liquor is always present. I am comfortable mingling with my guy friends with liquor around, but not just with the bosses. I trust them, but sometimes I don't like where their discussion is going to. So I prefer to watch the History/ Discovery channel alone in the lobby of the company's guest house. But there was this one time that I mingled with them during their socials night. They were really nice to me. They treated me like their own daughter even if they were already tipsy. They offered me a bottle of beer, but I refused it. So I just observed them. My boss was quite amazing. He fell asleep for a while during their chat. But one of his colleagues woke him up for him to still join in their discussion. The funny thing was his mind was still alert, and he spoke with a lot of sense! hahaha! I wish I could master that skill-- waking up with a very sound mind. It's one of his talents I guess. There are times that he falls asleep during a meeting (this time he hasn't taken any alcoholic beverage..he just lacked sleep) and when you ask him about a particular thing, he would suddenly wake up and answer you straight! Man! How I'd love to have that ability! That might have helped a lot back in college when I often fell asleep in class...hehehe... Let me justify myself a little..hehe.. I have Insomnia that's why sleepiness visits me on day time..
