Kung indi naman, malamang sa inde nakikiuso ka sa trend ngayon….

Ang IAMs (It’s All about Me, stupid) at pag pinalala, ang mga Pilingers.

Feeling pinag-uusapan

Feeling pinag-aagawan

Feeling soooobrang ganda/gwapo

Feeling maraming nagkakandarapa

Feeling center of attraction

Feeling envy of all

Feeling flawless at walang kamot

Feeling ferfek

Marami pa kong pwede idikit na pang-uri dito at pwede pa siguro umabot pabalik ng Pinas sa haba ng pwede n’yong ishare dito. (for sure!)

Dati rati kasi, konti lang ang populasyon nila eh at kadalasan, sa TV ko lang sila nakikita. Manaka-naka sa mga hebigats na eskwelahan, yung tipong kasama talaga sa uniporme at pag-iinlges-ingles. Imi-mix pa ang tagalog at iislangin ng konti para sa mas masayang kwentuhan. Nasa iilang sector lang sila makikita at indi mashadong nag-iingay…dahil indi pang-masa. Indi Judy Ann-Jolina ang dating.

Pero ngayon, kasabay ng pag-angat ng level ni Judy Ann…climbing through the social life (which is kering-keri niya talaga.) sumunod ang sambayanang masa sa kanya. Pati yata ang pakiramdam ni Juday ay isinabuhay din nila. Ngayon, makikita mo sila kung saan-saan. Parang outbreak.

Eto ang signs pag naka-encounter ka ng mga ganito:

• Kapag ang pagsasalita nito ay may halong exaggeration. Yung tipong, lumalakas na parang naka-default sa ascending ang boses nito kahit na indi naman kailangang marinig ng lahat ang pinag-uusapan, lalo na’t tungkol lang naman ito sa sampayan o pagpa-plantsa ng buhok.

• Pag nandyan siya, para bang kay-papanget nyo’ng lahat at siya lang ang bukod tanging nilikha ni bro na ubod ng gandang itsura. Kulang nalang mamigay ka na ng libreng blade para mag-mass laslas na kayong lahat.

• Pag nagwento ito, para bang lahat ng naging gf ng ex niya ay kamukha ni madam auring. Eh samantalang pati siya ex na rin.

• Assuming mashado. Na may gusto ka sa kanya lalo na pag may ginawa ka para sa kanya. Sinabihan mo siya one time na may maganda sa kanya. O kaya meron siyang kamukhang artista kahit si chocoleit pa. Pag inaya mong umalis. Tinext mo ng love quote. Pag sinabi mong namiss mo siya. Pag nilibre mo ng kendi o binigyan mo ng kahit ano nang wala lang.

• At sa ingay lalo na sa ilang eksena na indi naman kailangan ng ekstrang tindera.

Indi naman sa pagiging categorical sa bagay na ito, pero para sa marami sa atin na indi mashadong pasensyoso sa mga ganitong tao at pagkakataon, talaga naman kasing mapipigtal ang timpi mo lalo na kapag wala namang “K” ito para mag-uumarte.

Maganda ka, oo. Lahat tayo ay may angking kagandahan. At kung nakalamang ka sa kulay o kutis, indi ibig sabihin nito na para ka nang Diosa at lahat ng tao mag-aalay na sau ng prutas at bulaklak. Di sana pumayag ka na rin na nililipat kada 7 days sa ibang bahay.

Indi rin kailangan na gawing robot ang ilang nagkamaling nanliligaw at me gusto para gawin ng mga ito ang lahat pati na ang mga imposible basta magustuhan mo lalo na’t kung paaasahin mo lang naman. Uulitin ko, indi ka santo para dasalan at alayan ng sampaguita kada dalaw.

At indi lahat ng nagkagusto sa’yo ay may gusto sa’yo habambuhay kahit na may karelasyon na ito, asawa at mga anak. Kaya wag mashadong mag-assume na kapag kinausap, tinext at tinawagan mo sila ay kikiligin pa rin sila tu da maks gaya ng iniisip mo.

Wala namang nagbabawal sa isipan at pakiramdam na maging maganda. Isa itong mabisang paraan to boost self-esteem. Wag naman gawing exagge na seseryosohin talaga.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, indi para pwersahin ang mga tao na isiping maganda ka base sa inaasal mo. Oo nga’t sa panahon ngayon, nakakaungos ang mga ito. Pinapansin. Binibigyan ng espeshal na atensyon. Maraming humahanga at kinaiinggitan.

Wag tayong magpa-inosente sa katotohanang “Ang totoong ganda ay nagmumula sa kalooban.”

In short – - UGALI o Attitude. Eto yung gandang priceless. Indi na kailangan ng make-up at cosmetic surgery. Sila yung indi biniyayaan ng magarbong physical features pero panalo sa pakikitungo sa iba. May konsensya. Sensitive. Sincere. Totoo.

Dahil sa mga pilingers, nauso ang kasabihan na, “Aanhin mo ang ganda kung ang asal naman ay bruha.” (Meron ba’ng ganitong kasabihan??)

Sabi nga ni Rubbz: “O, siya-siya…sige.” Wala pong masama sa magandang pakiramdam ng pagiging maganda…bigyan lang sana natin ng justiGace ito. Ibagay naman natin sa ugali ang panlabas na itsura at ilugar sa tamang asal. Kasi ang ganda, naluluma din at nangunguluntoy din habang tumatanda pero ang mga magandang bagay na ipinapakita natin sa kapwa, indi nalalaos at naluluma.

Destiny Addict

Ito 'yung mga taong hinihintay na gumawa ang tadhana ng paraan para pagtagpuin sila ng kanilang mga "soulmates" and whatever. Ayaw kumilos o kung ano pa dahil naniniwala siya na kung sino man 'yung talagang meant for him/her ay darating na lang bigla sa paraang maaaring hindi niya inaasahan--wow, parang Serendipity.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Dadating din 'yan. 'Wag kasing hanapin!"

Perfectionist

Simula nung magkamalay ang taong ito, nakalista na ang mga bagay na gusto niya sa kanyang magiging boypren/girlpren. Kapag may nakilala siya at nakitang madumi ang kuko, magkadikit ang kilay, may butas sa ngipin, o parang penguin maglakad, wala na. Turn off na 'yun para sa kanya.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ok na sana siya e. Kaya lang gusto ko 'yung ganito..."

Busy Bee

Pasensya na sila pero masyado kang maraming inaasikaso tulad ng libro, bolpen, papel at calculator. Umaalis ka ng 6 am sa bahay at umuuwi ng 7 ng gabi 'pag weekdays. Pagdating mo sa bahay, gagawa lang ng homework at matutulog na. Masaya ka nang makanood ng TV 'pag Sabado (at gumawa ulit ng homework). Sapat na sa'yo ang kumain sa labas kasama ang pamilya 'pag Linggo (at gumawa pa rin ng homework).

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Sorry. Wala akong time sa ganyan e."

Friend Forever version 1

Kunwari ka pa dyan. Alam mo namang gusto mo talaga 'yang best friend o special friend mo pero hindi mo lang sinasabi at pinapadama dahil ayaw mong masira ang pagkakaibigan niyong dalawa. 'Yung tipong 'pag may kasamang iba 'yung gusto mo, kunwari ka pang masaya ka para sa kanya pero sa totoo lang, gusto mo na malusaw na parang ice caps dahil sa Global Warming.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm so happy for you!" o "Sayang naman 'yung pinagsamahan namin e."

Friend Forever version 2

Wala tayong magagawa pero talagang malapit ka lang sa kabilang kasarian--pero bilang kaibigan lang. One-of-the-boys, ladies' man. Hindi ka naman homo o bi pero sadyang kaibigan lang ang tingin mo sa mga taong hindi mo kapareho ng chromosomes. Masaya ka nang nakaka-hang-out lang sila, nakakakwentuhan, niyayakap nang walang halong malisya.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "May inuman ba mamaya?" (kung babae) o "Hatid ko ba kayo mamaya?" (kung lalaki)"

Born to be One

Single-blessed ka at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. :) Nilikha ka siguro para maging mag-isa (pero syempre may pamilya at kaibigan ka naman, duh) hanggang tumanda ka na at ipadala sa Home for the Aged. Marami akong kakilalang mukhang ganito ang patutunguhan at hindi naman sila mga pangit o abnoy talaga. Minsan lang, masyado silang masungit.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Mag-isa ako."

Happy-go-lucky

'Eto 'yung taong masaya na sa trip-trip lang at kung anu-anong mga happenings. Kahit sino na lang basta no strings attached. For fun lang at walang seryosohan please. Personally, ayoko nung mga ganito. Umaapaw lang siguro 'yung mga taong ganito sa L. Magbuhos ka nalang ng malamig na tubig sa iyong buong katawan at solb na 'yan.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm not ready to commit e, but I really like you."

Wrong Time

'Eto naman 'yung mga laging idinadahilan na masyado pa silang bata o kaya masyado na silang matanda. May mga tao raw na ganyan, 'yung pakiramdam nila laging may tamang panahon para sa pag-ibig. Pero ang labo lang kasi tuwing may pagkakataon naman, lagi nilang naiisip na maling panahon pa iyon. Oo, wrong timing lagi ang pag-ibig para sa kanila kasi madalas sumasakto kung kelan meron silang board exams, problema sa pamilya, o long test kinabukasan. :))

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "We had the right love at the wrong time..."

Parent Trap

Ayaw ni mama o ni papa na magkaboypren/girlpren ang kanilang unica hija/hijo kahit na 22 years old na ito at kumikita na ng sarili niyang pera. Kailangan daw magkaron ka muna ng isang strand ng puting buhok bago may makadalaw sa'yo sa bahay. O kaya, baka ikaw 'yung may problema dahil natatakot ka sa iisipin ng mga magulang mo tungkol sa taong iyong gusto. Baka kasi sabihin nila na masyado siyang bansot/ matangkad/ baboy/ payatot para sa'yo.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Baka kasi magalit si Papa."

Trauma

Dahil sa dami ng mga heartbreak na iyong nadama at emo songs na napakinggan mo na noon, sinumpa mo nang hindi ka magmamahal. Ayaw mo na. Sawa ka na sa paglalaslas ng pulso, este, sa paglalagay ng mga madramang stat message sa YM at pag-iyak ng balde-baldeng luha. Awwwww. >:D< Pwede rin namang masyado kang insecure sa sarili mo kaya hindi ka makapagmatapang na magventure into some love quest.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Pagod na pagod na akong masaktan!" *hikbi*

Your Ex-Lover Is (NOT) Dead

Yikeeee. Mahal pa rin niya ang kanyang ex at hindi siya maka-get-over the person. Boo. Pilit pa ring inaalala ang mga tawanan, iyakan, at PDA moments nilang dalawa kahit 'yung ex niya ay nakikipag-(insert verb here) na sa ibang babae/lalaki. Sasabihin mong nakapag-move on ka na pero pag nagkwentuhan tungkol sa pag-ibig, tandadadaaaaan! Siya na naman naiisip mo.

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "I'm over him/her..." *tapos iiyak bigla :))*

Ayaw

Dalawa na namang kaso ito. Una, ayaw mo lang talaga magka-"someone". Hindi ko na pipilitin ungkatin 'yung dahilan pero may mga pagkakataon lang talaga na ayaw mo. Ikalawa naman, baka...ayaw kasi sa'yo nung gusto mo. And that's the shizzest thing ever! Pwedeng ayaw niya sa'yo dahil may girlpren/boypren siya, busy siya or whatever, o kaya ayaw ka lang niya talaga at wala ka nang magagawa kung ganun. :(

Laging maririnig na nagsasabing: "Ayoko pa magkaboypren/girlpren e." o "Hindi naman niya ako gusto."

HAHAHA! Laugh triiiiiip! =)) =)) I say these apply in MOST cases. Pwedeng wala ka dyan, o combination ng mga yan. There's nothing wrong with being single. And I say usually, most girls opt to be single, for varied reasons. Sabi nga nila, single is sexy. ;) Mas may independence. Mas may time to do other stuff. Walang distractions. Walang potential heartaches. :)

Pero I don't know. Ayoko maging biased. But I say iba parin yung may special someone. Okay biased nga. Kasi di ko na alam yung feeling ng walang someone special na nagpapasaya at nagpapaiyak sakin. =)) =))

Wenks gumaganon. =)) =))

Haha laugh trip lang muna.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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?

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.

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.

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?

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’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.

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.

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.
