Dahil mas masarap pag-usapan ang totoong buhay kesa sa chismis.

Ni-compile ko na lahat(na ba ‘to?) ng quotes niya para sa inyo. Mag-ready na ng mansanilya dahil kakabagin talaga kayo sa mga ito.

I coudn’t care a damn!

What’s your next class before this?

Can you repeat that for the 2nd time around once more?

Hello, my brother joey is out of town, would you like to wait?

Don’t touch me not!

You! you’re not a boy anymore! You’re a man anymore!

Hello? For a while. Please hang yourself.

We are lovers. Not fighters.

Don’t judge me! I’m not a book!

Why should I have a calling card? I’m not a call girl!

My brother is not a girl; he’s a gentleman.

Yung STD, baka sa maruming toilet lang niya nakuha yan.

Eh, ikaw ba naman, durugin ang ari mo…Pag di ka naman manutok ng baril.

I won’t stoop down to my level.

Hello? Bulag ka ba? Bingi ka ba? Are you dep?

I don’t eat meat. I’m not a carnival.

You! you’re not a boy anymore! You’re a man anymore!

On the lovelife of her brother Joey and Kris: “They should talk behind the scene…”

Still on her brother Joey: “Kapatid ko pa rin siya. We are one and the same.”

“Sumasakit ang migraine ko.”

On her father, the late Director Artemio Marquez before he died: “Ang tatay ko ang only living legend na buhay!”

When asked on S-Files if her present husband, Adam Lawyer, is her Mr. Right:”Period na talaga; wala nang exclamation point.”

When asked for a message to her daughter who was reportedly abused by their houseboy: “Don’t worry little angel, big angel is here.”

On what they should do to the houseboy who molested her daughter: “He should be put behind bar.”

Backstage during a noontime show, after watching Nikki Valdez’ dance number. “Nikki, you’re so galing! You should go to the States. You will sell hotcakes.”

“You can fool me once, you can even fool me twice, you can even fool me thrice. But you can never fool me four”

After giving birth, and an interview on The Buzz: “My answers have been prayered!”

“Hindi ba kayo naawa sa kapatid ko…sa mga kwento nya? Di ba kayo na-PERSUAVE ng mga kwento niya? Hindi si Joey ang tipong mambubugbog ng babae…talaga lang malapit siya sa mga gulo…PRO-ACCIDENT kasi siya eh.

Boy Abunda: O Melanie, paano na ang showbiz career mo ngayong magmo-Mormon ka na? Melanie: Ah okay lang ‘yon Boy, kasi matagal na rin akong SEMI-RETARDED.

 (before Christmas) “Well, I want to spend my holidays with my family most probably out of place.”

(While she’s in Morning Girls With Kris & Korina promoting her movie with Aleck Bovick) “Please watch HIRAM starring Aleck Baldwin (referring to Aleck Bovick) and myself. It’s DIRECTOR by Romy Suzara.”

(To ex-flame Senator Lito Lapid) “Hello…Huwag kang tumahol sa sarili mong bakuran noh! (In response to being misunderstood) You know, huwag kang tumahol like dogs.”

Haha laugh trip lang muna.

Untog.

July 28, 2009


angry-woman-ani_mad

Sa literal na deskripshon, Ito ay karaniwang nangyayari sa mga indi nag-iingat. Pwedeng magka-bukol o duguan ang ulo depende sa impact ng pagkakatama neto sa isang matigas na bagay.

Anu na naman ba’ng koneksyon nito sa buhay naten?

Alam ko marami na sa atin ang nakaranas mauntog mula nung natuto tayong tumayo, lumakad at tumakbo nung mga bata pa tayo. Bata palang at murang-mura pa ang isipan pero ipinapakita na natin ang pagiging independent lalung-lalo na pag pinipilit nating ipaintindi sa mga nanay at tatay na kaya na nating tumayo sa sariling paa kaya indi na nila kailangan pang hawakan ka para marating ang pinto mula sa sala ng mag-isa. Sa umpisa, indi pa maniniwala ang mga ito na kaya mo sa higpit ng hawak nila sa kamay at braso mo habang ikaw naman ay pilit hinihila ang sarili palayo…sasabayan mo pa ng palahaw na iyak. At dahil sensitive ang mga tenga nila at sa gusto ring maipakita sa’yo na mali ka at tama sila….

Bibitiw sila sa pagkakahawak sa’yo.

Ang unang pwersa, mapapadausdos ka pa. Babawi ka para balansehin ang sarili. Isa, dalawa, tatlong hakbang…ayan, nagmamalaki ka na. Ang ganda pa ng ngiti mo. Pang-apat, lima, anim na hakbang…ayun o, una pa mukha mong tumama sa sahig sa pagkawala ng balanse, apat pa sanang hakbang palapit sa pinto.


At sa pagkakadapa mong yun, subsob ang mukha at nauntog pa, ayun si nanay tatakbo palapit para yakapin ka at the same time sisihin kasi ang kulit mo, tapos yayakap-yakapin ka na. Si Tatay naman, sasabihan si nanay kung bakit kasi binitiwan ka pa eh alam niya namang yun ang mangyayari kasi indi mo pa kaya.

Ang daming iwas-untog sina nanay at tatay. Maraming bawal. Laging dapat ganito, dapat ganyan.


Minsan naiisip natin, siguro past life nila eh Psychic sila kasi nai-imagine mo palang ang isang activity o bagay na gusto mong gawin at puntahan eh eto sila at nililitanya na ang mga do’s and don’t’s of a teenage life na parang may librong pinagkukunan. Bitter-bitteran ka dyan sa sulok habang iniisip na siguro indi nila na-enjoy ang kabataan nila kaya sila sobrang kulang na lang  eh ilagay ka na rin sa hawla habang nakatali ang leeg kasi parang ganun na rin sa pakiramdam yung ginagawa nila dahil sa dami ng indi pwedeng gawin.

Para lang wag kang mapahamak.


Lahat naman talaga tayo, dumaan sa iisang proseso ng madugong “curiousity stage”. Kanya-kanyang diskarte yan habang nakapila. Pagdating mo kasi dun, sanga-sanga na yan eh. Lahat ng klase ng pwedeng eksperimentuhin, andyan lahat. Abot-kamay mo, samantalahin mo na habang wala sina nanay at tatay. Habang indi nila nakikita at walang pwedeng magsabi sa’yo na masama ito at magdudulot ito ng malakas na impact sa future mo. Ika nga eh, “Enjoy it while it lasts.” Sige lang, enjoy pa ang tropa eh. Ang saya, ganito pala ang pakiramdam ng walang nagbabawal at pwede mong gawin ang lahat ng gusto mo.

Meron pa nga dyan, sumisingit sa pila. Nagmamadaling makapasok at maisalang. Kahit na meron pang mahabang panahon bago sana nila pasukin ito eh, nagpupumilit nang makasubok. Sila tuloy ang kadalasang nabibiktima ng mga aksidente.

Aksidenteng makapag-asawa ng maaga. TEEN-MARRIAGE

Aksidenteng malulong sa mga bisyo. drug_addiction_

Aksidenteng mabuntis ng wala sa oras. pregs

At mga aksidenteng pwedeng buhay ang kapalit. accid

Sana isa sa mga litanya na pinaaalala sa atin nina nanay at tatay eh yung…


Alam mo anak, ang buhay natin walang eraser o liquid paper na kapag nagkamali ka, anytime pwede mo itong burahin. Pwedeng magsimula ulit, oo. Pero marami nang pagbabago na kailangan mong harapin at tanggapin.” (Sana binanggit ni mama yung tungkol jan sa liquid paper na yan :(   diba)


Yang pila na yan na pinilahan ng lahat…lahat tayo napahinto sa ilang sanga na meron ang teenage life. Ito yung tinatawag nilang “kalakasan days” eh. Yung ilang mga dinadahilan na, “tao lang ako”, “charge it to experience”, “enjoy life to the fullest” at kung anu-anu pa na pwedeng ipalusot kapag gumagawa ng kalokohan. Ito yung delays sa byahe. Dahil yung ilang taon natin sa pagiging teenager, yun yung panahon na stranded pa tayo. Meron namang iba na tumutuloy pa rin sa byahe. Meron, tumuloy na sa byahe at mas malayo pa ang narating at meron ding nag-enjoy na mashado sa pagkaka-stranded, kinarir na ito ginawa pang kumikitang pangkabuhayan.


Marami nang nauntog at nabagok dito (duguan na nga yung iba eh hehe..). Shempre, sa sobrang excitement at enjoyment na nararamdaman, minsan nakakalimot tayo sa mga paalala. Pag andyan na at nagbunga na ang pagkakamali, from feeling super matured ang isip…back to reality na,

Bata pa ako.

Hindi pa ko ready sa ganito.

Marami pa kong gustung marating.

Gustu ko pang makabawi kina nanay at tatay.

UNTOG pa rin ang makakapagpabalik sa atin sa realidad.

Ang masakit sa untog na ito, na-wrong move ka na eh…wala nang bawian. Parang papel na ginupit, indi mo na ito maikakabit. Pwede mong ipagdikit ng scotch tape, pero makikita at makikita pa rin yung punit. Markado na. At ang mga bukol at marka na ito ang siyang magsisilbing aral sa atin para ituwid ang buhay natin at ng mga magiging anak natin.

Kaya pala parang Psychic sina nanay at tatay.

Indi man lahat sa kanila ay nagkamali, dinaanan nila iyon at nakita. Ang mga buhay ng ilang kaibigan at malapit sa kanila na nasira at pinabayaan.

At sinu ba namang magulang ang gustung mapariwara ang buhay ng anak????

So far, wala pa naman.

Lahat ng magulang, ginagawa ang lahat pati na ang imposible para lang sa kanilang anak. Kaya sana bilang mga anak, makita natin ito indi bilang isang magulang na sinasakal o minamanipula ang buhay natin. Sa kagustuhan nilang maging maayos ang buhay at mailayo sa ka-chorvahan nito, napagkakamalan nating ayaw lang nila tayong sumaya.

Ang lahat ng sobra ay masama. Alam na natin ‘yan.

Kaya para sa mga matitigas ang ulo at nag-eeksperimento ng kung anu-anu….

Ayusin mo buhay mo.

:P

 the infinite connection between two unique individuals; its something that changes your whole entire life. love has its ups and downs but if you still have love at the end of the day your blessed. if you can put everything aside for love; if you can forgive someones mistakes; if you could do anything for that one person, you’re truly in love. true love is what everyone wants to find before they descend the world; but its better if you let it find you. when you learn to love someone and they learn to love you the true effects of love show. you feel like your on top of the world. you learn to think of someone before anyone else. the person you love somewhat becomes your concern, your responsibility, and after awhile simply your everything. you become a lot happier then you usually are. in a way your entire world is effected by this one person. your day changes with their presence; you cant help to giggle, laugh, and smile. when you truly love someone, they’re the one person that has the magic ability to almost control your moods. they have the complete ability to break your heart but don’t because they love you too much. love is different for everyone, if you’re lucky enough to experience a true love, feel extra special because not everyone gets a chance to feel loved.

woots. mkaaay I don’t have decent updates in my life right now but these kind of stuff. shalalala-lala-lolo-ve. ew okaaaay. di ko na kailangan ipangalandakan yun :) )

im watching transformers right now :D

 


the [one of the] best thing[s] that’s ever happened to me.

Naapakan ba kita? Sorry ah..

July 24, 2009

Ano ba ang mas masakit?

 

Literal na naapakan?

O…

Ang mga salitang totoo man o indi na pawang nagpagulung-gulong sa buo mong pagkatao?

Maraming ibig sabihin ang salitang apak. Indi ito simpleng alay-lakad o party ng mga tsinelas at sapatos. Isa ito sa ugat ng napakaraming isyu na mas madalas gawin kesa pag-usapan.

In all fairness, parehong masakit ang literal na matapakan at mapagtulungan ng mga salita at gawa lingid sa kaalaman mo…mas malala kung alam mo ito at pinababayaan mo lang.

Kadalasan, ang mga lalaki at mangilan-ngilang babae ang mas gusto ng apakan sa pisikalang paraan. Para wala nang mashadong salitaan at matapos na ang lahat in a matter of 30 minutes to 1 hour depende kung sinu unang mapagod. Anyway, pagkatapos naman nito, parang wala nang nangyari at balik na ulit sa dati, ang importante lang eh mailabas lang yung pangangati ng mga kamao at mabasag na ang mababasag dahil yun naman ang highlight ng usapan.

Para sa kababaihan, ang usapang apakan ay katulad ng ibang mortal sin na kailangang dumaan sa napakaraming proseso. Simula sa salitaan, parinigan, chismisan, kampihan, iringan, dedmahan, at sa iba—pisikalan. Pwedeng mauwi sa pag-aayos at kung minsan naman ay binabaon na sa limot.

Naapakan ka na ba? Maliban nung sinuot mo yung bago mong sapatos  na bago matapos ang araw ay indi mo mabilang kung ilan ang buminyag nito sa apak. Lahat talaga ng bago ay kailangang mabinyagan, yan ang culture sa atin. Basta ang isang bagay na kalalabas lang sa plastic  at wala pang marka ng gasgas — asahan mo, marami na ang bibinyag dyan.

Sa buhay natin, marami tayong makikilala. Ang iba sa mga ito magiging kalapit natin, kaibigan, ka-close kumbaga. Ang iba naman… iba ang trip, depende sa gusto at hilig nila. Dun tayo magpokus sa mga “Big Foot.”

Siguro naman may nakilala ka ng Big Foot sa iskul.

Sila yung mga pinanganak na may imprentahan ng pera at mga kutis mayaman at aware sila sa mga bagay na ito kaya bigay todo sila sa pang-aapak ng ibang mga kaklase na para sa kanila ay pwede nang ihilera sa mga yaya niya. Indi ko naman nilalahat. Shempre, meron pa rin namang mababait na tulad nila, pero aminin natin…konti lang talaga. Kung ikaw ang tipo na pang-drama, yuyuko ka na lang pag inaapi ka. (Wag tularan) Dapat ikaw yung tipo na mambabasag ng mukha pag tinangka ka niyang ihilera sa mga yaya niya when in fact, ang lebel mo eh pang-mayordoma. :lol: Alam naman natin na pag usapang basagan lalo na ng mukha eh, tumitiklop na ang mga yan na parang makahiya.

 

May Big Foot din shempre sa neighborhood.

Ang Pamilya Zaragoza, kine-claim nilang mayaman sila pero dun din naman nakatira sa hood na tinitirahan nyo, diba dapat kung mayaman eh BF Homes, Ayala-Alabang-Forbes Park? Yung pag me bagong gamit eh kulang na lang mag-anawnsment sa buong barangay na parang Oplan Alis Disis, samantalang naka-jumper naman ang kuryente at kung susumahin ang yaman nila at ng pamilya n’yo…Mas mayaman lang naman sila ng isang libo sa inyo. :lol: Ika nga sa Sprite commercial…“Magpakatotoo ka!” Sabi nga nila, pag indi pinansin…mapapagod din ito ng kusa at titigil na rin sa ginagawa. Mauubos rin yung isang libo nila at papantay na rin kayo ng yaman.

 

Sa trabaho naman, walang excitement pag walang Big Foot in da haus.

Sila yung mga matatagal na sa trabaho, sipsip sa management, ninong sa kasal yung may-ari kaya yung power nila sa kumpanya ay overwhelming na para bang malaki ang stocks niya sa kumpanya. Pag ikaw na bago ang siyang pinag-initan…indi ito titigil hangga’t indi ka nagde-decide na mag-resign, kulang na lang ipag-type ka pa niya ng resignation letter. Nakakainis sila diba? Yung kutuhan sa kalsada dinadala pa nila sa opisina. Kung mahina ang loob mo, aalis ka talaga. Minsan ang mga ito, kailangan nilang makompronta at magkaron ng taong indi magpapatinag sa kanila. Pag nagawa mo yun, titigilan ka na rin nila at hahanap na lang ang mga ito ng pwede nilang paglaruan.

 

Sa mga common acquaintances, shempre indi rin mawawala ang manaka-nakang pambi-Big Foot ng ilan.

Meron dyan, ang intro parang humble. Sa una-pangalawa-pangatlong meeting humble talaga…nakaka-elib. Ang galing, meron pa palang ganun pero yun pala pag tagal sa ibang paraan, Big Foot din pala. Dinadaan sa wentong pang hanging habagat, summer na summer ang paligid eh parang biglang gusto mong kunin yung jacket mo sa lamiiig ng usapan.

Dapat dyan, wag mo na lang pansinin tutal naman, wento lang. Shempre pag personalan na, ibang usapan na yan. Maghanap na lang siya ng pwede niyang apakan. 

Me ibang Big Foot na gusto nila, iba ang arrive nila. Yung tipong unang kita palang kailangang maka-intimidate na sila. Ifa-flash sa’yo yung mga gamit niya pero shempre pa-humble – pahinhin para mas nakakabilib talaga pero isang paraan pala ito para takpan yung totoong ugali nila. Mahilig silang magsalita ng indi magandang bagay sa iba in a nice way. (meron ba nun?) At pag may ginawa kang against sa kanila, kailangang pagsisihan mo ito kahit naman alam mong tama lang naman ang sinabi mo. Meron silang espesyal na paraan ng pangto-torture ng feelings hanggang sa magtanda ka.

Tara nga’t i-peel off natin yang maskara nila para malaman natin kung kulay ginto nga bang talaga ang mga bungo nila. :lol: Ang mga ganitong tao, indi binibigyan ng importansya. Yan ang sikret. Pag alam nilang indi sila importante sa’yo, wala nang rason para magkita pa kayo diba? ;) Parehong masaya ang layf n’yo.

Meron ding mga Big Foot na mukhang paa na dahil underdog sila sa halos kalahati ng buhay nila, nung nagkaron ng pagkakataon…mas matindi pa sila sa karaniwang big foot natin d’yan. Lahat naman ata ng tao pag nabigyan ng power over someone or something, nao-overwhelm at umaabuso.  Nabubulag. Nakakalimot.

Ang mga germs na ito,  indi binebeybi…kini-kill lang. :lol: Seriously, dinededma lang. Pag mas marami kasi ang bumebeybi sa pag-uugali, pakiramdam nila it looks good on them. Nasasanay. Humahaba ang sungay. Kaya dapat malaman din nila na indi magandang pinagpapareha ang striped shirt at printed pants kahit gaano pa ito kamahal.

Mahilig ako mam-Big Foot…ng mga Big Foot. Inaapakers ko sila para mabawas-bawasan naman. Dati yon. Ngayon, indi na mashado. Observer na lang ako. Nagmimiron na lang kasi napag-isip-isip ko na Time is Gold. Marami pa kong pwedeng gawin sayang lang ang oras ko sa kanila.

Kaya sa susunod na may maka-engkwentro kayong mga Big Foot along the way…wag na kayong makipagtagisan ng galing sa kanila kasi pag ginawa mo yun, talo ka pre. Makakabuti para sa lahat na wag na itong pansinin (pag kinakailangan lang hehe..) at ipagdasal na lang natin na sana magpatuloy pa rin ang blessings para sa lahat. Kasi kung mag-iisip pa tayo ng masama para sa kanila, madadagdagan lang ang kasalanan natin diba? 

Hangga’t nasa tama ka…dyan ka lang. k?

Para Sa Kanya, Kung Sino Man Siya.

July 23, 2009

Sometimes, its not what people think that makes things spiral out of control. Most of the time it is how they express themselves that draws negative notions from people on the receiving end.

Gossip is juicy no doubt, and everyone likes to hear a fruit or two from time to time. But what happens when, unintentionally, the words are twisted beyond the context that the person passing the message meant initially?

Who do you blame when you find out that things are being said which draws attention to you in a completely undesirable way?

Hollywood stars and even celebrity bloggers face things like that. So much so that they are immune to it already.

But I am not.

 

Because I am not a celebrity.

 

And I am not a star.

 

I’m just a 17 year old girl who tries to make the best decisions for herself whenever she is faced with a choice. It may be wrong when I look back in retrospect, it may be right, I’ll never know right there and then. I’m not the kind of person who regrets because whatever I decide for myself is what I feel is the most beneficial to me at that point in time.

Even so, I don’t spout forth malicious words without first attempting to analyze the situation completely by listening to all sides of the story.

 

There will be more situations like this in the future. This time it may have been unintentional as the message was twisted here and there with additional salt and pepper added in from numerous sources as and when they felt like it.

But when I face this again with the knowledge that it was done with a spiteful purpose some time in the future, whether it be a classmate who can’t stand me, or an acquaintance who doesn’t like me because I didn’t say hi to her sweetly enough when we were first introduced, I know one thing is for sure.

 

I still won’t be able to take it.

 

Not then, not now, not ever.

 

Because in my heart I just can’t believe that people are like that.

Naivety may be beneficial every once in awhile depending on the situation, but this time, it looks like the benefit goes to all of you who dare to take advantage when I give in to you.

 

Ultimately, right now, I am the fool.

 

Just remember that when there comes a day that karma reels it’s ugly head, we will see who is the fool then.

       2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
       3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
       4. Your job/school won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch!
       5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
       6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
       7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

      14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
      15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

      20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
      21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special..
      22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
      23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
      24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
      25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
      26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ‘In five years, will this matter?’
      27. Always choose life.
      28. Forgive everyone everything.
      29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
      30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
      31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
      32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
      33. Believe in miracles.
      34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
      35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
      36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
      37. Your children get only one childhood.
      38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
      39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
      40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s,we’d grab ours back.
      41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
      42. The best is yet to come.
      43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
      44. Yield.
      45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift

Hurrah. Life is so far good! :D It’s been a habit that I tell my mom everything about anything. I like mom-advices. They make you cogitate even harder.

Pag may sumampa sa likod mo, tinakpan ang mga mata mo,
at kiniss ka,
ako nayon.

The one who got away :)

July 11, 2009

Grabbed from bes tima. Nagoosebumps ako dahil sa sobrang totoo nito. xD Makes you re-analyze everything. Somehow nakakaparanoid? Haha. BUt then again, baka ako lang talaga yung ganito. :) )

Source: The Manila Times
By: Mark J. Macapagal

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with …and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away?

I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really will. The day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come.

Hopefully you’re single… but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, “What if they were here today?” You’ll wonder, ”What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?”

That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest “What if?” you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that if you’re already with the one you’re with, that this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright.


It’s never nice to live with a “might have been,” but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different.


What do you do if it’s not yet too late?

Simple… find him, find her. Because the very existence of a “one that got away” means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be “the one that got away” as well for the person who is your “the one that got away.” You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference.

If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow. And it would be a great feeling, if in the end, you’d be able to say to someone, ”Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away.”

Kahit na parang “in the moment” ako right now at naooverwhelm ako sa mga pinapakita sakin, aware parin ako sa reality. Na malaki ang possibility na pwedeng magkaiwanan. At mapako ang mga promises. At magkasawaan. Nakakatakot minsan na parang gusto mo ng tumigil to save yourself from the heartaches. Ayaw mo nalang magrisk hindi dahil ayaw mong masayang ang ibibigay mo, kundi para hindi ka masanay ng nagbibigay ng ganun. Nagbibigay kahit alam mong sagad na sagad ka na. Pero ba’t kaya sige parin tayo? Kasi masarap magmahal. At kadalasan worth it ang mga niririsk natin.

Okaay napaganun na naman ako. :) ) Hooray for updates! Ngayon ko lang nafeel ba maglove talk ulit. :)


I just want you close
‘Cause you make me smile
I just cannot get you off my mind
With each kiss
You blow me away
And without you I think I’d go crazy
For your love I would do anything
‘Cause to me… you are my everything


amazing song!

Heart br[e]ak(e)s.

Okaaay majority nito mga same experiences na nirerelate ko from what other people told me, from their stories. And I have some that I correlate myself. Sige nga, wild guess. Tintry ko magcomment on each one of them. Doesn’t necessarily mean experiences ko lahat yan. :)

I’m not allowed to fall in love,’ she said. ‘I’m not allowed to care this much.’ But when you’re staying up late, hoping to God he’s tossing and turning, thinking of you, it’s too late already.

Parang ako? I can’t restrain myself.

The next time I hug you, I think I might explode.

Sige ‘wag mo na kong pakawalan. :) )

I want to turn you on.

Even more para di mo na talaga ako papakawalan. :) )

I hate it that you are now in good terms with your ex-best friend/crush/special someone.

Sometimes. Though I know it’s obviously unintentional.

I lied. my phone batt wasn’t dead. I didn’t message you for the whole day, cause I want you to realize how important I am to you, and how much you need me.

Paranoid lang.

I hate the fact that even when I’m not on the road you still cant find time for me. But if you do it feels like you wished you were doing something else. I’m not insecure, just know what I want. But even though I have tried my best to make it work it still hasn’t worked. This is the first time I have given my all. I guess I never thought I would get to a point where my all wasn’t enough. I am terrified. When will just being me be enough.

What a martyr. I remember those times and I get all bitter. Okaay tama na.

Sometimes I think I listen to other people too much and not my heart enough. I still care about you and love you but I just can’t be with you. I did cry, and every time we talk on the phone, I tear up at least once. I want nothing but the best for you and I want you to be happy more than anything in the world.

EPIC. Except some parts to it.

Okaay I’m getting tired of those. Gusto ko naman ishare ngayon yung message ko for HER na pinagawa niya sakin. Natuwa ako sa overwhelming love and support from her superfriends nung nabasa ko yung post niya. And I’m sharing the same love and support as a big sister? HAHAHAHA.

pano ko ba sisimulan to. gusto ko lang sabihin na he’s a big fat a** jerk and he should go drown himself and go to hell. wtfudge. bakit hindi ko navibes yun. anywaay, tama na ang bitterness at iyakan, move on na tayo. isipin mo na lang na isa siyang malaking mantsa sa buhay mo. nandito naman kaming mga super friends mo eh, at least kami we’re always here, we love you and we will never cheat on you :D ano gusto mo gawin dun sa girl pabarang natin? haha. joke lang. sugurin na natin at pasabugin! what else can i say? ayoko namang magmukhang war freak. basta cherish all the good memories and learn from your and his mistakes. wag magmadali dahil ang mga lalaki, darating yang mga yan. isa lang siyang malaking stopover sa buhay mo. at ngayong under construction ka na, siguruhin mong mahal ang toll fee bago ulit may makadaan sayong bago. nagets mo ba? basta hintayin mo lang yung magfifinal destination sayo :)

Kay apparently I’m not very good at giving encouragement/love/support/those shizz when I associate it with venting out with anger. Nawawala ang poise ko. But ohwell. I don’t wanna fake it so there you go.

Don’t you worry about the obsticles to your happiness,

If you let them get to you, you’ll endure just like the rest,
I know you’re better than those people who get in the way,
Just remember what I always say.

You’re strong as a soldier.

NUMBER ONE.

July 7, 2009

The ones who waited all night for him to text, only to check your cell phone the next morning and be disappointed. The ones who made it through that bitter break up, dried your own tears, and moved on with your life, only to have him walk back in it months later like nothing ever happened. Those of you who cried on the first day you talked again because you knew exactly where this phone call was going. The ones who listened to him say, “I only want to be your friend“, one day, then listened to him say that he loves and misses you, and the next when he doesn’t want to be anything at all. Here’s to the ones that took him back, hoping that maybe this time, he was different, hoping that maybe people really do change.

We listened to our friends tell us that we were stupid for even thinking about giving him another chance, and even snuck around to see him even for a while. We went through the great stage with no fights all over again. We started this out thinking it would be just friends, and ended up falling in love with him again. We wanted nothing more in the world than to hear him tell us he loved us too, that even though things were bad in the past, they would be different this time. And when we finally heard it, it was like we were dreaming. This is for us.

Here’s to the ones who believed what he said, sat around all over again waiting for a phone call that might come in a few hours, or a few days. Here’s for the tears cried and dried all over again. We wanted so desperately to believe that he was really busy, he couldn’t possibly call us at that moment, or even that he fell asleep early. We trained ourselves to believe the lies because we wanted to believe we had found the one for us. We learned to SETTLE for someone who didn’t treat us the way we should be treated.

Here’s for the ones who did their hair and make up and put on their prettiest everything, only to hear him say that he couldn’t see us today. The ones who never believed it when people told us there might be someone else. We just couldn’t believe that he could do this to us again.

This is for those great girls, who loved him more than words can say, and took him back no matter what happened last time because they couldn’t bear to look back on their lives one day and wonder “what if”.

This is for the girls that stayed up all night long listening to him whine about an ex girlfriend who cheated on him, and cried during the entire conversation. The ones who hoped he would realize that he deserved better, that he deserved us. When he said that he loved you, but he was in love with her, he didn’t mean it. This is for the ones that held on to something that was never there to begin with.

This is for us girls, who somehow managed to get him to forget about her, and get him to tell us that he was in love with us again, only to have him tell us three weeks later that “You’re just not the one for me.” or maybe, “things were going too fast, I’m just not ready.” (Then later on find out he has a damn girlfriend already.)

Here’s to the girls who couldn’t cry to their friends because of how stupid they felt.
The ones who held it all in when things came crumbling to pieces again. This is for the ones who couldn’t bear to even tell their mom what was going on, for fear of an “I told you so.”
The ones that could just TELL that they had made a mistake ever allowing him into their hearts, their beds, and their dreams again.

We knew that we deserved better the entire time, that we deserved a guy who would call when he said he was going to, one that would come see us when ever he got the chance, one that would really care about us. We just wanted the one that we loved like that.
Here’s for the ones that FINALLY realized that he never gave one thought about them.
Here’s for the time that he took to waste, breaking your heart … again
.

This is for those days spent trying to hold back the tears, and the tears that turned into anger, then disappointment.
Here’s for us girls who finally realized that we deserve better.
This is for those confusing days, when you miss him, and want nothing more than to hear his voice, or feel his arms around your waist.

Stay strong, and remember that relationships are like broken glass,sometimes it’s better to leave it alone rather than try to put the pieces back together and get hurt all over again. Remember the times you cried, and how long it took you to even be able to look at another guy like that. When your song comes on the radio, turn the station.
When the day comes that he realizes what a mistake he made and tries calling, turn your phone off. When he tries coming to your house, don’t answer the door.

Think of all the broken promises, and the lies, the manipulation and the tears, the wasted moments and staying up all night wondering where the HELL he was.
Think of how your heart used to jump when your phone would vibrate in the middle of the night, and how it fell to your stomach when you saw it wasn’t him, and realized that once again, he hadn’t called when he said he was going to.

One day, you’ll find a guy who’s worth all the tears, but he won’t make you cry.You may think that you’ll never care about someone like you did that guy that you always ran back to, but you will.
It’s gonna hurt like hell, and it’s going to need time to heal, but the point is, it will heal.

Just felt like sharing.Course I don’t really want to bombard my blog with “school affairs” *bunny ears gestures* And no, I am certainly not pertaining to anyone. For chrissake I’m over that matter already. If you know what I’m saying.
