WHILE the contents of this series are mostly materials from The September Project of 2015, the general sentiment remains the same.
I am still single, and looking. Haha!
***
If I get lucky after this, that would be wonderful.
But the main reason why this is being republished is that I have decided to travel much of July.
There’s the whole wide United States of America.
I meant to checkout cities and states I’ve never been to before.
I’m a completist that way.
***
Then, there’s Peru.
And Machu Picchu is the only remaining big one in my bucket list.
I’m sure new desires will rise, but for now, I have checked off my list.
Sure, I wanted an African safari.
But for now, I’m okay without it.
So, yeah, Peru.
***
And who knows, I might be in the Philippines before this series is over.
But it is as I said, I don’t want to be writing for deadlines while seeing the world.
I’m doing this intro, update, and review on a train to Providence, Rhode Island.
No big reason so visit.
Just wanted to check off the smallest state (land size) of the American 50.
I mean, if I’ve been to Alaska, the largest, why not to Rhode Island, the smallest?

Anyway, back to the boyfriend project now.
See if you qualify. Haha.
And even if you don’t, at least enjoy the heart throbbing on the page.

Sept. 1–
This may sound like a joke, but it’s not.
It’s been nine months since I, polymath (shortcut for the poly-hyphenated “nurse-teacher-filmmaker-poet-playwright-fictionist-social advocate-writer-producer-director-actor-HIV testing poster boy-life coach-among many other things” description) Peter Solis Nery, became a young widower.
I think that I can live a single man’s life for the rest of my days (I got varied interests that can keep me busy), but I also feel that I should open myself to the idea of finding new love, or at least, a boyfriend.

If you want something so much, you have to do something about it.
Boyfriends just don’t fall from the sky (unlike meatballs!).
But where to look?
Most often, my so-called fame and celebrity gets in the way.
People “who think they know me” are often intimidated to even try.
***
Sure, I get indecent proposals.
But I’m not the kiss all frogs type of guy.
I’m really a romantic, a demisexual, and I want to fall in love in the grand ways of the movies.
***
Just because people are much braver and gutsier to say things online than in real life, I thought that I should start looking here.
Perhaps, people will be less intimidated to approach me, message me, woo me, even propose a date. Conversations can start from a reply to my posts, and who knows where they may lead.
***
I am a young-looking 46 (pictures will show it, but you can always check me out in person), fit, healthy, disease-free, spiritual (not necessarily religious in the Catholic sense), with considerable financial freedom (I can afford to be retired at 45!), and a very, very cosmopolitan point of view.
[Update: I’m 53 this year, but everything is still largely the same. Disease-free, young-looking, and all. Haha!)
***
I am passionate about many things like music and art, and lost causes.
My role models are: Audrey Hepburn, Saint (Pope) John Paul II, Mother Teresa, and the man called Jesus Christ in the Bible (but I am neither a Jesus nor a Bible freak!).
I try to live with my role models’ brand of kindness and grace.
I really believe that I am a good and beautiful person. (To be continued)/PN
