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).

I've Got A Story

RE: June 2, 2008 --- With you, I am opening myself to the very real possibility of having my heart broken...

E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Damn, damn, damn. I think I open myself up to heartbreak TOO OFTEN. That's precisely the problem.

I hate it because it feels like the "when's" and "if's" always blur whenever I like someone. It's difficult to deal. I really wish I could control myself more.

What is real, and what is not?

Last week's secrets:

1. Pretty good week today, as secrets are trickling in once more. As a result, I'm able to post this new set on time, and there are even 11 of them! :) Hope you keep sending in your secrets to codeblued@gmail.com so that there will always be new secrets every week. :D

2. CodeBlued has reached people in unlikely places. This has led me to believe that while CodeBlued is increasing in popularity, not enough people are sending in their secrets. Don't be afraid to e-mail! :) Any secret --- from the pettiest to the most serious --- is alright, and any design will do as well! If not, you can send in your secret as a plain text file, and I can make it for you. :)

3. Beautiful art this week. As always, personally love some of the secrets. :) Enjoy!
