Fabcast: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Part 3 (the conclusion)

Love and Dating, Podcasts Entry Feed Trackback

Fablogo2 FIN Corporate Closet (CC) is one of my smartest, most accomplished friends. He is a CEO of a billion-peso company, graduated at the top of our MBA class, and if you have the chance to talk to him even casually, you will not fail to notice that he is sharp of mind and wits. But, as his own story shows, even the sharpest, most intelligent beings have hearts that aren’t exempted from falling; and sometimes falling foolishly. This is the last part of CC’s sharing of his story with his Mr. Ripley. He fell for the guy whom he met online, and despite all tell-tale signs, he pursued. Unfortunately, it was Mr. Ripley, and he was indeed talented. Listen in, and drink from the wisdom of a true story, a real experience, and some lessons learned from our dear Fabcasters.

  5. god makes only happy endings, if its not hapy then its not yet the end…

    i dont think it would be fair if the blame will be on the side of mr. ripley. even though i did not hear his side, i can still see that he cared and loved cc on a given time. it just happend that there were in different places and it is very difficult for them to make their understanding grow.

    as an ofw, i will try my best to please my love even to the extent of lying just to make sure the communication will flow all the time. distance is the hardest thing in a relationship and homesickness makes us poor in judgement.

    cc, hope one day u will meet…

  8. Falling in love will always be tricky. Sa tingin ko hindi naman venue ang point dito… whether you get fooled online or in a Malate bar, shit will happen if it’s bound to happen. There will always be A-holes out there. It’s natural to be cautious about people but I think we should not limit ourselves base on our fears. Because if we get too cautious baka nasa harap mo na pala si Mr. Right pinalagpas mo pa kasi you are too afraid. Wish ko lang sundin ko din itong mga pinagsasasabi ko hahaha.

  12. just to share with you… my partner and i met on-line, started exchanging e-mails, progressed on to exchange of text messages, followed by voice calls, liked each other, finally met in person, fell in love. that was four years ago. until now, our relationship is going strong. ours is a successful on-line romance.

  13. i can relate sans the chocolates, driver, ecuadorian roses, we met, fell in love for quite a while, he asked for this pricey gadget, gave it to him,then one day called up to say ” lets move on, i want to jumpstart my career” thing….too sad indeed…………i could have used everything to recover material things i gave but i guess awa ang nafefeel ko at that time. so i let go. awa pa din when i knew thier place was flooded with ondoy…….i dont want to think of the ondoy thing as a sweet revenge……i can only pray for him and his family’s safety…bless you R……

  17. I first met my boyriend in G4M when I was trying to move on from a very elusive online relationship. I had no idea then what I really wanted when we first talked because I was too traumatized with what just happened. We became friends for quite sometime and I then fell in love after a month of chatting and phone conversations.After that, I decided to ask him to meet me because I wanna find out then if what I was feeling is true. He agreed to meet me and yeah, there was that “spark”. I know that what I did was right because till now, we are still together and we’re looking forward to be spending more years sitting right next to each other.

    I just want to point out that regardless of the time and how, that one person will come into your life. And he will. Even if you don’t expect or want him to..
