I've Got A Story

RE: July 29, 2008: I'm afraid to fall in love with my best friend.

Dear Code Blued,

Haha, it's kind of a late response, but i just checked your site now and was re-reading some of the posts :p

i'd like to reply to it with a song :) Lucky by Jason Mraz ft Colbie Caillat

& say that i did fall in love with my best friend. and while we are now happily together, we both admitted that it was stupid to have been so afraid. we feared losing everything, and forgot that there was so much to gain instead.

i say, risk it. if it's not requited feelings, best friendship will withstand just about anything. :)

Last set of secrets...

...were a LONG time ago. :O GAH. Work has made me unable to post, although there have been a steady stream of secrets and supporters. THANK YOU to everyone who's still been reading my site. Without that, CodeBlued would die. :P

"Double digest" week, as said by one of my avid fans. :P 14 secrets + a story + music. :)

Interesting thing I realized with this set of secrets: secrets are not bound by time. Even if it's a secret uploaded a long time ago, it can still mean a lot to people --- case in point, our story for this week. In addition, I was also struck by a secret sent to me a month ago.

So keep sending in your secrets to codeblued@gmail.com --- you never know who it's going to reach. :)

I've Got A Story

RE: July 29, 2008: Minsan, gusto na kita sigawan para mag-away na lang tayo. at hindi na ako umasa.


Musings:

This reminds me of a quote by Ray Bradbury, from the short story The Fog Horn:

"That's life for you," said Mcdunn. "Someone always waiting for someone who never comes home. Always someone loving some thing more than that thing loves them. And after a while, you want to destroy whatever that thing is, so it can hurt you no more."

Last week's secrets:

3. Thank you for the upsurge of comments! As long as you keep commenting, I'll know that I still have readers. Say something, type a few lines, talk to us. We're listening. :)

I've Got A Story

RE: Aug. 4, 2008: You've Ruined Love For Me


E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Hi Codeblued :)

I'm sending in a new secret. My previous crush led me to believe that there was something more to our friendship than there really was, and when he found out i liked him, he stopped speaking to me and our friendship was put to an end. So now that there's someone new in my life, I've become desensitized to that funny feeling you usually get when you like someone. I saw this new guy at a concert alone with another girl, but I was barely even bothered by it. In fact, I was intrigued. But I really do like him. So, right now, I feel like it's the fault of the last guy...

That's all. I hope you post my secret.

I've Got A Story

RE: Aug. 4, 2008: My Boyfriend Smells So Damn Good ...


E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Hi Codeblued!

My boyfriend's natural smell makes me so hot and so I frequently ask him not to wear any perfume. It's weird but I actually like it when he's all sweaty because the smell I love gets really stronger whenever that's the case. He knows that I like his smell but I doubt that he knows that I try my hardest to suppress the urge to pounce on him because of this. Pheromones, most probably. =))

Please publish my secret. Thanks and more power =)

Last week's secrets:

1. THANK YOU to all the fans of Code Blued! We're still riding high on last week's revival. I really felt all the love and support from everyone. This gives me enough reason to keep this site up and running. Thanks again, and keep sending in your secrets! :D

2. We're up to 2000+ views. YEY! I also reached 10 submission this week pretty quickly. Thanks guys! Send in your secrets to codeblued@gmail.com . You can also send in your story behind a secret, for our "I've Got A Story" feature, or you can also send in a question for the "Ask Code Blued" column. :)

*this week's last secret reminds me of a quote from a movie that my friend shared with me:

"The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours."
-The History Boys (2006)

YES, WE ARE STILL ALIVE.

* * *

Last month's secrets:

1. Yes, Codeblued went on a month-long hiatus for various reasons: One, no new secrets were coming in. Two, there were other things I had to fix first. Three, I wasn't sure if I still had fans. Four, no one was commenting on the secrets. But I'm glad to say that after a month of absence, YES, we're still here, and CodeBlued is luckily still alive.

2. That said, please SEND IN YOUR SECRETS! It doesn't have to be about any particular topic, it just has to be a secret, no matter how small or trivial. E-mail away at codeblued@gmail.com ! You can send in an actual postcard (picture file) or text-based secret, and I will gladly make the secret for you. ;)

3. In addition, do type your comments about the secrets posted. This way, I'll know that somewhere out there, someone's still reading them, and they still have a purpose.

Thank you to all the supporters of CodeBlued. I was thinking of closing down this site for good (and only after a few months!), but I decided not to when people were telling me that they were still waiting for secrets. Thanks, everyone. Somewhere out there, these secrets are still doing what they're supposed to. :)

*As a special for this week, we have a grand total of 14 secrets! YEY! :D

**CodeBlued was also featured in COMMOTION's first issue for this schoolyear. COMMOTION is the official magazine of ACOMM (Ateneo Association of Communication Majors). Thank you to Sasha Lim-Uy and Dessa Jimenez for featuring CodeBlued. More power to ACOMM! Grab your copy of COMMOTION now (if there are still any left. :P).
