Take it easy ‘kiddo! Why are you in such a rush anyway?

Most people are rushing their way through life. They fail to take the time necessary to nurture their relationships, feed their mind, relax their body or get in touch with their soul's desire for freedom and peace.

Life moves relentlessly forward one day at a time, and there is nothing any of us can do to stop it or slow it down.

We are all getting older every day, but we don't have to grow older every day. Taking time to day-dream, visit a friend, or just have coffee with your significant other is time well-spent.

There is a rush to tomorrow by all of us. We are being prodded into the future by faster computers, shorter delivery times, and a general need to have it, do it, and see it all: NOW!

Take time today for yourself.

Take time to breathe in life, all of it: its color, splendor, smells, tastes, and sounds. From the smallest most insignificant event to the things you have taken for granted.

Tomorrow will be here before you know it.

Today will be a distant memory before you realize it. We create our futures and memories in the present. Go through life today, conscious of your surroundings.

Today is a gift of life.

Live it with gratitude and don't let the sun set today without seeing it, embracing it, and enjoying it.

Why are you in such a rush anyway?

You can't have it all, do it all, learn it all, see it all, become it all, teach it all, in one lifetime so why frustrate yourself and those who are in your immediate life circle with this relentless drive for whatever.

I am not suggesting "vegetable status" here. I am only asking you to evaluate your life philosophy and this need for something - that is missing in your life - and trying to make up for it by an over zealous push for something, anything.

One way to determine where you fit on this do nothing to trying to do everything continuum is to honestly get in touch with your ability to do NOTHING. Just sit or walk and reflect.

No agenda, no deadline, just a laid back approach to life once in a while.

“Hintay ka lang, it will come in the right time!!”

This entry is going to be short, but the whole concept of perfection has been bugging me for a long time already.

I get really annoyed at people who wait for everything to happen at the "perfect" time. --- “Hintay ka lang, it will come in the right time!!” --- I mean, to an extent that's fine, but when you start delaying everything indefinitely just waiting for this mythical time of perfectness, you miss out on a whole lot of stuff that you could have had in the meantime.

Life is going on while you wait for your little "perfect" time, it's not going to stop for you to lollygag your "perfect" little way along your "perfect" little road waiting for your "perfect" little moments to smack you upside the face.

There comes a point where life's going to say "The hell with it" and move on.

There's always going to be a more perfect time for something to happen. You have to accept that as a given and work with what the world hands your way. It may not be "perfect", but isn't something slightly less than perfect better than nothing at all?

Why do things need to start "perfect", anyway? Why can't they build to "perfect"? What happens if you get to that "perfect" moment and the newness of it causes something to happen which spoils the "perfect"ness of it? You just had your one "perfect" moment, and you blew it.

Now what?

Perfect is what you make it.

Perfect doesn't come to you, you must find it.

A Few Fries Short of A Happy Meal

So, I'm on this road again. I am walking alone. I have nowhere to go. No safe base to call home.

As I walk and walk, I fall.

I reach up and someone grabs my hand, and helps me stand tall. He tells me all sorts of sweet things. He says that he'll always be there. He leads me into a false sense of security.

Then leaves as if he never cared.

Now, I am left standing on the same road. The sun is blocked by the trees. I cry for my lost love, then fall to my knees.

As I am sobbing out loud and wiping my tears, along comes a young man. He promises me years. I walk with this one. I can see the sun once more. I am so happy, not sad. I love him to the core. As we walk and talk and kiss, and hug (like young lovers do), in bounce to people.

Their faces are not new. The first one is my lost love. He is returning to have me as his prize. I belong to nobody but him. Well, at least in his eyes.

The second one is my current love, a friend, who is the carrier of bad news. He seems to want to tell me that my love is the one I will now lose. He tells me nothing but the truth. He doesn't want to break my heart, but he tells me that the sun isn't always going to shine, and me and my love will soon part.

My first love is also telling me that me and my second love were never meant to be.

So, now I am stuck on this road again, all alone and I cry.

Why do people fall in love?

When all that love does is die?

To All The Single Ladies

Women are like apples on trees.

The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy...

The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing.

They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Share this with other women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked!

And the men?

Well, that’s a different story.

Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

When Lovers Become "Just Friends"

You wanna know what the truth is?

Okay.

I still love you and I probably will love you for a very long time. But I can't just be your buddy or your best friend with or without benefits…

Because as much as I enjoy the concept of being "just friends", in reality it's a bizarre form of torture and I’m just not willing to participate in it.

So, right now what I wanna do is just move on and get over you…

Let me be.

Allow me to love the life I have without you… far from your embrace… far from your sight… far from what we used to have.

And the only way for me to do that… is to not be around you anymore…

At least for now.

Midnight Thoughts

You cannot die of grief, though it feels as if you can.

A heart does not actually break, though sometimes your chest aches as if it is breaking. Grief dims with time. It is the way of things. There comes a day when you smile again, and you feel like a traitor.

How dare I feel happy.

How dare I be glad in a world where my ex-boyfriend is no more.

And then you cry fresh tears, because you do not miss him as much as you once did, and giving up your grief is another kind of death.

It’s a whole new kind of death…

And afterwards… if you’re lucky enough to survive, you learn to live and love again.

Game Not Over

Life is not a spectator sport; win, lose or draw, the game is in progress whether we want it to be or not.

So go ahead, argue with the refs, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds.

But play hard.

Play fast.

Play loose and free.

Play as if there's no tomorrow.

Ok so, it’s not whether you win or lose its how you play the game, right?

Quick Fix

As partners, as friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can. But the world is full of unexpected twists and turns.

And just when you’ve gotten the lay of the land, the ground underneath you shifts...

And knocks you off your feet.

If you're lucky, you'll end up with nothing more than a flesh wound, something a bandaid will cover.

But, some wounds are deeper than they first appear, and require more than just a quick fix. With some wounds, you have to rip of the bandaid, let them breathe and give them time to heal.

Ang labo nito ‘tsong! Mas malabo pa sa malinaw!

Ayokong hanapin mo ako dahil sa hindi mo ako makita, (malabo) dahil sa hindi mo ako maramdaman. (malabo pa rin)

Nitong nagdaang mga araw, nagbabago ako ng anyo. Isa akong yelo, na nakakulong sa bakal na puno ng kalawang. Hindi tumatakbo ang oras. Paano ako makakawala nang hindi natutunaw? Nang hindi nadudumhan?

Kung dumating ang oras na maghahanap ka, puntahan mo ang nagliliparang alikabok. Isa ako sa kanila. At kung sakaling mapuwing ka, isipin mong ako ang pumupuwing sa 'yo para di ka masaktan. Gusto kong maramdaman mo ang aking presensya nang hindi ako nakikita.

Kung madaan ka sa mga halaman, 'wag kang kukuha ni isang dahon man lang, baka ako ang iyong mapitas, malulungkot ako.

Pag ninais kong muling magbagong anyo, (ayoko pa) 'wag kang umasang makita ako, mag-iiba ako ng porma’t disenyo.

Kung mapadaan ka sa umaagos na tubig, damhin mo iyon ng iyong mga palad. Wag mong punasan, isipin mo ako, hayaan mong matuyo at saka ako maglalaho.

Isipin mo lang akong tumatawa, tulad ng lagi kong ginagawa. Isipin mo lang akong tinotopak, at tawagin mo akong baliw, hindi pa rin ako masasaktan, tulad ng dati.

Hindi mo man ako makita, hindi ako lalayo. Magbago man ako ng anyo, ako pa rin ako. 'Wag mo na akong hanapin dahil hindi ako nagtatago, pero hindi ako magpapakita. Hayaan mong lumipas ang panahon... hanggang sa naisin kong ilapit ang langit sa aking puso... doon lang ako magiging malaya.



P.S.

Hindi ako lumilimot, at hindi ako lilimot. Gusto ko lang maglakbay ng walang anino... ng walang kasaysayan para sa isang kaibigan.

Patawad.

Salamin, salamin, salamin sa dilim...

"Musta lakad mo kanina? Parang masigla ka ata." Sabi mo habang naghuhubad ako ng sapatos.

"Ayos lang. Nagkita uli kami."

"Sino? Ang dati mong boyfriend?"

"Oo. Naghiwalay na ata sila ng boyfriend niya. Nagtext siya sa kin kagabi kung pwede daw kaming magkwentuhan. Di pumunta ako. Parang wala naman kaming pinagsamahan kung di ako pupunta, di ba?"

"Sa bagay. Bakit naman daw ikaw ang tinext niya? Wala ba siyang ibang matext?"

"Ewan ko. Hindi ko alam. Ang dami namang nanliligaw sa kanya. Malay mo miss nya ako?"

"Asa ka pa. Ano naman kwinento sa iyo"

"Birthday niya kasi nung December. Bakit daw hindi ko siya tinawagan. Hindi ko rin daw siya niregaluhan noong pasko. Hindi ko nga siya maintindihan kasi hindi naman niya ako boyfriend. "

"Baka naman na-realize niya na ikaw mahal niya."

"Hindi ko alam. Sinabi rin niya yung naging problema nila ng boyfriend niya kaya nagkahiwalay sila. Pumayat nga siya. Parang ang daming iniisip. Pinapatawa ko nga eh."

"Ano namang pakiramdam noong nagkita kayo? Ngayon lang kayo nagkausap uli pagkatapos ng hiwalayan ninyo di ba?"

"Oo. Wala lang."

"Sige matutulog na ko. Bukas na lang tayo magkwentuhan uli."

Napansin mo siguro na natahimik ako. Naalala ko kasi ang mga matang yon. Kahit hindi niya sabihin sa kin. Alam kong iba pa rin mahal niya. Akala ko wala na kong mararamdaman nang magkita kami pero bakit naiinggit ako sa lalaking yun? Noon pinili kong lumayo para makasama niya mahal niya. Pero nasaktan lang pala siya. Naisip ko siguro mabait lang siya sa akin ngayon kasi wala siyang makausap. Pero naniniwala pa rin ako sa lahat ng sinasabi niya. Habang nag-uusap kami gusto ko siyang yakapin. Gusto kong sabihin na mahal ko pa rin siya. Pero hindi ko nagawa.

Gusto ko pa sanang makipagkwentuhan sa iyo pero inaantok ka na pala. Sige bukas na lang kita kakausapin, pagharap ko uli sa salamin.

Kwentong Langgam: May Lablayp Din Pala Sila

May nasalubong akong pulang langgam kanina.

"O, saan ka papunta?" tanong ko.

"Dyan lang sa may kanto. Susunduin ko gerpren ko, " sagot ng langgam.

"Pwede palang magka-gerpren ang tulad mo? Worker ant ka lang di ba? 'Kala ko yung mga nagkaka-gerpren lang eh yung mga yumayari sa reyna nyo..."

"Aaah, dyan kayo nagkakamali. Kahit naman worker lang ranggo namin, may karapatan rin naman kaming ma-inlab," mabilis na tugon ng langgam.

"Eh paano mo nalalaman kung sino ang gerpren mo sa daan-daang langgam na nasasalubong mo araw-araw?" muling tanong ko.

"Sus, para kang hindi MBB grad! Shempre, pheromone tsong. Actually, bawat isa sa amin ay may unique na pheromone...'kumbaga sa pabango eh signature scent ba. In fact, I'm wearing a Chanel Pheromone right now!" pa-konyong tugon ni langgam.

"A, ganun ba? Medyo na-sense ko nga. Mukhang naligo ka sa pheromone ah! O, sige, bilisan mo at baka mainip gerpren mo sa paghintay sa 'yo sa may kanto. Mahaba-haba pa itong lalakarin mo."

"Kaya nga eh...baka pwedeng maki-hitch sa sapatos mo?"

"No problem. Sige kapit ka lang. Mga ilang hakbang lang naman ito para sa akin eh," tugon ko.

Kumapit si langgam sa nakalawit na sintas at umakyat sa aking sapatos. Maya-maya ng kaunti ay may natanaw nga akong naghihintay na isa pang langgam sa may kanto. Ito na nga marahil ang gerpren na naghihintay dahil nakita kong sobrang na-excite itong langgam na ngayon ay nakabitin na sa dulo ng sintas ng sapatos at handang bumaging na ala-tarzan sa direksyon ng kasintahang naghihintay.

Napasigaw na lang ako ng "Sandali!!!", nang biglang umigkas itong si langgam at napailalim sa suwelas ng aking sapatos. Huli na ang lahat at kahit bakas ni langgam ay hindi ko makita sa sementadong kalsada. Ni impit na hiyaw ay hindi nakatakas mula sa naipit na nilalang.

Samantala, ang kasintahang langgam ay nanatiling nakatayo sa tabing kalsada habang ang hangin ay nagsimoy Chanel Pheromone. At nangilid ang luha sa aking mga mata hindi dahil sa tapang ng halimuyak na pumalaot sa hangin kundi dahil sa nasasaksihan kong pagluluksa ng isang pusong naulila.

Autopsy on a Spoiled Girlfriend

No cracks, no fractures, no missing bones whatsoever.

Taxi cabs were her favorite way to go around the city. The boyfriend would open the car door for her and assist her while getting off the vehicle. She would take his offered hand like a princess getting off a lovely carriage. She would tell his boyfriend, "That's what boyfriends are for." Her boyfriend would nod in approval, kiss her on her forehead and smile. Her every step was watched. Her boyfriend is her safety scout. Sweet.

"If you don't take care of me, I'll break up with you."


No pulled, strained muscles.

She did not suffer from any forms of fatigue. Her life was a bliss. No need to rush to a convenient store to grab a midnight snack. Her boyfriend would offer his phone and she would call the delivery hotline. And on those days when it was not possible to have the food delivered, he would buy it himself, not minding the time nor the weather. No need to go to a spa to relax. He would light an essence lamp and ask her to lay on her tummy. He would then sooth her tired muscles using his bare hands. He was not really good at this but it pleased her. "That's what boyfriends are for," she would think.

"Buy me food, or else I'll break up with you."


Perfect condition, from mouth to the intestines.

She was well-fed. Where to eat, what to eat.. it was her choice. Her every craving was satisfied. He would also introduce her to restaurants and plates she had never tried before. She would think it was fantastic. She would gain weight and think that was her boyfriend's fault. He would smile and tell her that how attractive she still was. Compliments. That's what boyfriends are for.

"Tell me I'm the prettiest or we're through."


Clean lungs. Healthy heart.

There was no way second-hand smoke could have harmed her. He was not a smoker. He lived a healthy life and so did she. He would take her to the country side and she would enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. He had to suspend several business trips so they could go together. Because according to her, that's what boyfriends are for.

"Let's go, or I'll find another boyfriend to take me there."


No signs of depression.

Hers was a worry-free life. Before she could even detect the problem, he already resolved it for her. She was trained not to care, not to worry about almost everything. Worrying was his job. That's what boyfriends are for. He would be sick but he would tell her not to worry. He would buy and take his medicines all by himself. She would be sick and he would worry to death. A simple migraine and he would panic.

"Make the pain go away, or you'll lose me."


She was in perfect health the night he left her and yet she was found dead the following morning.

One day I decided to quit...

I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me...

"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo…”

“In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.” He said.

"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed…”

"I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. .. But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots."

"I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you.“

“Don't compare yourself to others..." He said. “The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern... Yet, they both make the forest beautiful." “Your time will come,“ God said to me."You will rise high!"

“How high should I rise?" I asked. “How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return. "As high as it can?” I questioned. "Yes." He said.

"Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

He will never give up on you.

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give you happiness. Bad days give you experiences; both are essential to life.

A happy and meaningful life requires our continuous input and creativity. It does not happen by chance. It happens because of our choices and actions. And each day we are given new opportunities to choose and act and, in doing so, we create our own unique journey.

Keep going... Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you humble , Success keeps You Glowing, but Only God keeps You Going!

Why Women Cry

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

"When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

YM Conversation (Issue No. 3)

Him: Marvin?

Me: A*****n ? Ikaw ba yan?

Him: Ako nga ‘to bhe. =)

Him: Minsan lang. Hehehe. Musta na si mommy mo?

Him: So pwede nga kita ulit ligawan?

Me: Siguro mas okay na wag na lang. Friends na lang tayo. I think we are better off like this.

Me: Asan na yung lover mong matanda? Tandang tanda ko pa. Doon ako nagsimulang magalit sa mga matatandang bading. Parati kse nilang inaagaw ang mga syota ko eh. Hahahaha.

Him: Wala na kme noon.

Me: Bakit eh love na love mo kaya yun. Imagine binura mo pa ako sa friendster dahil ayaw nya. Doon ka pa sa kanila tumira. Friends mo pa yung mga friends nya. Pero alam mo, naintindihan ko naman yun. You were starting a life with him at hindi naman makakatulong kung lagi ka pa ding magiging updated sa mga nangyayari sa kin dba.

Him: Sorry.

Me: No need to say sorry. Ito ang gusto kong maintindihan mo. We are where we are now because this is exactly where we are supposed to be. 2 years ago, siguro hindi pa natin maiintindihan, pero ngayon, everything makes perfect sense. Nangyari ang dapat mangyari for us to become better individuals. Even if we did not end up together, nag grow naman tyo dba... and now we know better.

Him: Kung may babalikan ka sa aming mga ex mo, sinong babalikan mo?

Me: Wow. Bigat! Parang the buzz lang. Tough ten question number seven. Hahaha. Hmmm.... yung totoo? Wala.

Him: Wala? Bakit? =(

Me: Because we had our chance. Tayo, kami... lahat... we were all given a chance. Pero kung hindi kayo, hindi kayo right? Yun nga ang natutunan ko eh, that time is never enough kaya you have to make the most of every moment. Walang assurance ang mga bagay bagay, pwedeng magkatabi kayo natulog ngayon pero wala na pala sya pag gising mo. The only way not to regret is to give it your all. Sabi nga dba, you have to love and give until it hurts no more. Kaya wala akong pipiliing balikan. Wala akong pipiliting ayusin. Why waste your time trying to make ends meet kung alam nyo naman na sa huli ay hindi rin kayo. I would rather waste my time waiting for the right guy and be ready and worthy when he comes my way.

Him: Give? Eh give na nga lang ako ng give, wala ng natira sa akin.

Me: Mali ka dyan. You never run out of love. Hindi ka pwede maubusan dahil hindi naman nila nakukuha syo ang pagmamahal mo. That’s the beauty of loving, the more you give, the more you gain. Pwedeng at certain times magkulang o sumobra kaya pero hindi ka mauubusan kailanman ng pagmamahal dahil kahit minsan hindi naman nakukuha ng ibang tao ang mga bagay na kusa nating ibinibigay sa kanila.

Him: That makes sense. Thank you.

Me: Thank you din. You came into my life during my lowest moment. Kung hindi ka dumating noon, hindi ko alam where I’d be now. Thank you for taking good care of my heart kahit hindi ka naman cardiologist.

Him: Hahaha. Hayaan mo, mag dodoktor ako. Miss you Bhe.
Me: Marvin na lang. =) Reserve mo na lang yan sa next boyfriend mo.

Him: =) I’ll see you around.

Me: Remember, no surprise visits.

Him: I can’t promise that.

Me: Bahala ka, hindi kita pagbubuksan ng pinto.

Him: Ingat ka. Miss you like hell.

Me: Same here. Nice to hear from you again.

Love is...many small pieces of you (and more)

Yesterday, everyone (but me) was out on a date. People were busy spending their money to celebrate their love, declare their love or prove their love to their better halves. While the whole world is busy loving, I decided to write about love instead...

LOVE IS...

Calling you every day, just to hear your voice.

Dancing on the side of the highway, just to have an excuse to hold you close while I’m stressed.

Kissing you when you have cough, and not ever caring if I catch it too.

Never letting my eyes wander from yours, even when we’re naked.

Telling you I love you every chance I get, even if you already know.

Not playing that song every single time you ask, because I don’t want you to get sick of it.

Screaming myself hoarse at one of our friends, just because he made you upset.

Telling you about my past, even though I do my best to forget.

Enjoying your faults as much as your good points.

Being unable to sleep without you in my arms.

Liking the friend that makes you happy sometimes, even if I think he’s a flirt.

Not screaming like a sissy when your mom calls me, even though she scares the shit out of me.

Crying as I leave town, even though I know I’ll be back.

Knowing how beautiful you are, even when you don’t feel like it.

Going at your pace, and then being slightly molested when you felt ready.

Dropping everything I want to do with a smile on my face, for something you want to do.

My heart melting when you answer the phone, even if you’re half asleep and grumped.

The best moment of my life being there when you cried, and I was able to hold you and tell you everything was alright.

Singing for you because you like it.

Telling you to call me whenever you want, even though I love to sleep.

Smiling like an idiot every time you tell me how much you like me.

Rubbing your nose with mine, just so we’re touching.

Knowing how to behave, and just not wanting to around you.

Making you laugh, and feeling like everything is right with the world when you do.

Feeling like everything is right with the world whenever you speak.

Always wondering if there is someone better for you, but knowing there’s no one better for me.

Making jokes at your expense during monster movie night, and then feeling like shit about it for days after.

Finally growing the balls to tell you how much I love You.

Writing every fluffy thing I ever have, while thinking of you.

Making a stupid list of ways that I love you, just because I wanted to surprise you.

Watching chick flicks, and liking them because they make you happy.

Not caring about the you-know-what, but giving you a reason to never do it again.

Apologizing for being an immature asshole, as often as I can.

Seeing fireworks, the heavens open up, and angels singing hallelujah, all from a kiss.

Not forbidding you from hanging out with the idiot, even though it does make me a little jealous.

Trust.

Riding home in silence after leaving your house, just so I’m not distracted and can think about you in peace and quiet.

Using you and peace and quiet in the same sentence.

Meaning “same here” every single time I say it, and not just saying it to be agreeable.

Picking an argument because I love to hear you win.

Never letting you win, but losing anyways.

Always ignoring the outside world for a three hour IM conversation about nothing.

Hanging on to your every word as if it were my life, because it is.

Knowing you’re the one.

Being more than ready to say “I do,” whenever you are.

Love is YOU... many small pieces of you and more.

YM CONVERSATIONS (ISSUE NO.2)

Him: Buzz

Me: Buzz

Him: Happy Valentine’s Day!

Me: Happy Valentine’s Day din. =)

Him: Sinong date mo?

Me: Wala.

Him: Ikaw pa.

Me: Ganun. Wala nga talaga. Kanina I went out with my agents. Nag videoke kme sa Maru Bar sa may Makati Avenue. Late na din kme natapos kaya kakauwi ko lang.

Him: Miss mo na ko noh?

Me: Ok lang. hahaha. Gawa na pala yung gripo sa bahay. Hindi mo na ako kailangan ipag-igib ng tubig sa labas. At may na discover akong kainan na masarap, super affordable pa, hindi ka na mamumulubi.

Him: Mabuti naman ipinaayos na ni kuya. Saan naman yang kainan na yan? Masarap ba talaga? Mas masarap pa syo?

Me: Oo nga eh. Ewan ko dun, basta isang araw bigla na lang may tubero sa bahay. Gago! Wala ng mas sasarap pa sa kin. Hahaha.

Him: Sino ng boyfriend mo?

Me: Wala.

Him: Nakipag break ka sa akin tapos wala ka pa ding boyfriend.

Me: When I broke up with you, I just wanted some time to think things over. Gusto ko lang talaga mag isip. Gusto kong malaman kung tama pa bang ipagpatuloy yung relationship natin. Hindi naman ako nakipag break para mag hanap ng iba. Hindi ako naki pag break dahil may iba na. Mali naman kse yung iniisip mo eh.

Him: Masaya naman kse tayo. Wala naman akong nakikitang problema, kaya hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit kailangan natin maghiwalay.

Me: Sorry.

Him: Naging masama ba ako syo?

Me: Hindi. Ano ka ba naman. You were amazing. In fact, napaka swerte ko nga syo eh. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano mo ako natagalan. You are by far the best blessing God has ever given me and I'm so happy that he gave you to me to love. Even though I don't deserve all that you are to me and all that you do for me, I want you to know that I am so very grateful for you. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful memories we have shared throughout those wonderful months: all the smiles, laughter and even the tears. Loving you has made my life come alive. Some people go through life and never live it: I mean REALLY live it. But I thank God that He let me really live my life to the fullest by giving me you. You light up my world and show me things I never dreamed I'd see. Thank you for all that you do for me and all that you have given me.

Him: Mahal mo pa ba ako?

Me: Hindi naman nawawala yun eh. Hindi basta basta. I think, once you love someone, you will always love them even if you are not together anymore.

Him: Sabi na love mo pa yung mga exes mo eh.

Me: Yeah, pero hindi na same intensity as before. Siguro more of concern na lang. Kung may mangyaring masama sa kanila, I’m sure mag wo-worry pa rin naman ako.

Him: Wala ka talagang date?

Me: Wala nga po. Bakit ba ang kulit mo?

Him: Walang nag invite noh!

Me: Hahaha. Kapal mo. Meron noh. Ayaw ko lang talagang umalis. Mas ok na ko dito sa bahay. Teka nga, bakit ba ako ang tinatanong mo ng tinatanong? Bakit ikaw may date ka ba? Siguro may bf ka na noh!

Him: Hmmmmm...

Me: So, I guess meron nga?

Him: Yup.

Me: Grabe, mas nauna ka pa sa kin! Hahaha. Karma ko ba to? =( Kidding aside, I’m happy for you.

Him: Totoo?

Me: Totoo.

Him: I’m sorry ha. I never planned this. Nangyari lang.

Me: You don’t have to explain. Technically, you are single and eligible. =)

Him: Hindi ka galit? Promise?

Me: Love doesn’t come along every day. Kaya nga when it comes knocking your door, I think it’s but right to let it come in. The last thing I want you to feel is guilt over something that is supposed to be wonderful. I’ll always be here.

Him: Thank you Hon. I hope this time it’ll last.

Me: I hope so too.
