Tastefully Tristan (Part 1)

Tristan Tales' anniversary is coming up in two weeks. Imagine, it has been almost a year since I first started blabbering online? Anyway, to kick off my anniversary extravaganza, I have compiled memorable lines from all of my posts. Here's the first part which covers posts from August 8 to October 21. Enjoy.

1. Tristan Tan is a pseudonym. I am not Chinese.
   


2. I am hoping to fall, for the last time.
   


3. Honey, I am single, gay and gorgeous. Live with it.
   


4. Nobody should die in the end (of the movie) and everybody deserves to have that happily ever after.
   


5. It may seem, to the uninformed, that I am just one promiscuous bastard who keeps on fooling around with any available horn-dog. Well, that's quite true - I am.
   


6. ... "I cant be your boyfriend but it does not mean that I don't love you." Flashbacks.
   


7. You see, I may often find myself in less-than-wholesome situations but deep within this horn-dog is a good guy who happens to be at the right place, at the right time (or wrong place at the wrong time, whichever way one likes to view his glass).
   


8. "I can't be brilliant all the time"
   


9. Ultimately, what matters is that these things are part of who I am, albeit secretly.
   


10. ... I eat my feelings.
    


11. The Sun always shines. The Earth follows its route surrounding the Sun, but cannot approach it. The Comet brings surprise to the solar system. The picture is incomplete without any one of them.
    


12. Overall, the film made me appreciate the fact that I had experienced life and love as it should be, albeit short-lived.
    


13. When two people cry for the first time that's when they realize how much love they have for each other..
    


14. Now moving along...
    


15. Hi friend, we're done... what's up?
    


16. It would have been better if I had just ordered for a massage.
    


17. No, it takes longer than 3 minutes to get things done correctly, my friend.
    


18. "I'm perfectly fine sir.."
    


19. Your name remains a mystery - your details are lost in a cloud of anonymity. I barely know you but it seems like I have known you all my life.
    


20. I, fearing constant and emo-filled attention, held back and finally said, "libog lang yan..."
    


21. When someone falls out of love, it does not mean that what happened before that was not real. You loved and you felt loved.
    


22. I never stopped loving you...until last night.
    


23. Ako si Tristan, Isang Iskolar ng Bayan.
    


24. Success can indeed impress.
    


25. When that time comes, I hope I would already have to courage to ask you out.
    


26. Red Flag: Bad English
    


27. As I took a shower, I thanked the heavens for conspiring for my happiness that day.
    


28. Seriously, I had beauty queen flowers
    


29. "It's really a gay gay city", I told myself.
    


30. Hi, I am Tristan.
    


31. I am now confused but I may just as well be in love.
    


32. Take it or leave it, this is me.
    


33. As I performed my "sorry-this-is-what-you-will-never-have" moves combined with my "you-should-feel-sorry-you-are-taken" smile, I felt better.
    


34. My now aching head is back in control and it is telling me that I am lactose intolerant.
    


35. I flashed my "I-know-I'm-brilliant-now-take-off-your-clothes" smile and casually brushed off his last comment.
    


36. My heart (and now I am revealing) has somehow developed its own defense mechanism that, with any sign of love, it automatically activates a force field thereby shutting everyone out.
    


37. I have been blue. I have turned red. I have found myself green on several occasions. I still wear black. I wish I could wear white. I adored yellow. I am brown. I am purple. I am orange. I am still not fond of grays but I am willing to live with it, at least for now.
    


38. I am now wearing my heart on my sleeve - much like comets, this thing only happens once every few years.
    


39. I am the Queen and I am efffffing proud of it!
    


40. "Mind over matter, mind over matter...", I muttered.
    


41. I took a chance, I gambled but I lost. So what now?
    


42. "Finally, Tristan is back", I whispered.
    


43. "Tristan, I am glad to have met you. Too bad we had so little time to talk. See you soon.", it was from you.
    


44. To my friends who helped me craft the rest of that night, "Thank you for making me realize that sweetness is not beyond me."And to you, "Thank you for breaking my heart."
    


45. When is too much, too much? When should one take his final bow?
    


46. Then a brilliant idea - "Piolo for President, anyone?"
    


47. "I miss you pare...", I wanted to add but I stopped myself.
    


48. I was alone when you came into my life. You’ve taught me how to love, you made me smile. But you are a drifter just passing by. No time to fall in love, just time enough to smile.
    


49. After all, I am Tristan, the dreamer who still believes that his own happy ending is just around the corner.
    


50. "I'll take the root canal Doc, it's the closest I can get to dying..."
