my life starts at 23, not ends in 23.

ok, first and foremost, 10 quick facts about me.

1: I'm 23 years old.

2: Graduating college student.

3: singer / actor

4: a flirt, yes, promiscuous, no, virgin, no, frankly i only have sex if i have a boyfriend.

5: I dont drink, I dont smoke - not because im a health buff, but because im taking good care of my ever so powerful na singing voice. :P

6: I dont party, my nightlife only consists of a concert / theater play and starbucks after the event. see numbers 3 and 5 on why my nightlife is non-existent.

7: I have had a total of 5 ex-boyfriends. starting when i was on my 4th year high school. longest relationship - 2 years, shortest - 9 months-the fifth one.

8: I am out, as far as i can remember, my family are open minded yet a bit of a conservative type, religious yes, but not to the point that they consider homosexuality a ticket to the fires of hell. i remember back then my sister got so angry with mom because mom is so nice to my boyfriend - and mom is not yet allowing her to have a boyfriend.

9: my fifth ex boyfriend, informed me a month ago via skype that he just got tested positive for HIV in his home country (australia).

10: last tuesday, after two weeks of waiting, the confirmatory results told me that, I am, HIV positive.



Ok now, Im writing this blog to let you know the importance of HIV tests, and safe sex. some say you can get HIV via lifestyle, i have a different take on that. my controlled life is a safe ticket to living a HIV negative life, no, it doesnt take just a lifestyle.

it just takes one person. and that person could be the one you're cuddling and loving right now. could be you, even.

you can never be too sure, get tested, it may not be too late.

as for me....

... well, sorry to burst your bubble, im not the lonely type, let me tell ya,

Im NOT dying. I'm Living.
