Maraming Lalaki sa Mundo...

I am still contemplating whether the title is supposedly a declarative statement or what.

I did mention in a previous post na may pinsan ako na may itinanan. I was able to talk to him and I hope I struck a chord. I told him na he doesn't have to explain anything to me. After all, he'd insist that what he did was right. And of course, I'd contest that. So para wala na lang gulo, I just told him na sana, wala syang regrets sa ginawa nya. I pointed out na since sya yung guy, wala naming mawawala sa family namin to think na naka-graduate na sya. I told him na he should've thought out of the box. Sana naisip nya, na kahit sinong magulang, gugustuhin na makatapos ang anak nila. Well, so much for that kasi nga, nagtanan sila.

And now, the plot thickens. The girl was given an option. She has to continue her studies either at their place or back in Baguio. And be married after her graduation. If you ask me, the option is not that bad. Makakasal sya (which is what she is dying, as in literally, to do!) and at the same time, makakapagtapos sya. It's actually the best of both worlds. Kaso, eto... magpapakamatay daw sya pag hindi sila pinakasal! E kung sakalin ko na lang kaya sya?!

My cousin has no job as of the moment. He quit teaching because he was underpaid. My Tita decided to put up a computer shop for him. With the measly amount that he is getting from the shop, I don't think he can afford to feed a family for now. Do the Math. Expenses nowadays are so astronomical. E pambili nga ng yosi, minsan wala pa sya. I am just being practical here. I'm sorry pero when it comes to marriage, Love is NOT everything! Love will not feed you when you get hungry. Love will not get you into a hospital if you get sick. Love will not provide a shelter for you. Money will... and yun ang wala sila sa ngayon. It's so easy to say that you can always look for a job and try to provide with whatever it is that you will be getting. It's easy to say that they will get by with the support that they will be getting from their parents. But I assure you, these wouldn't suffice.

Babae rin ako. I know where she is coming from. I may not sound it pero I feel for her. But for crying out loud, don't act as if you are a victim in this situation. Kung ano man yung nangyari sa inyo, I'm sure it was with your consent. After everything, ngayon mo lang iisipin yung kahihiyan? You're one twisted person!

Point is, magtapos ka muna. Magpapakasal din naman kayo e. Don't cling to my cousin as if sya na lang ang huling pag-asa sa lahat ng problems mo. Marriage wouldn't solve the problem. It wouldn't undo the things you've done. It wouldn't turn back time. Period.

I also mentioned na I have a friend who caught her husband cheating. They were able to settle their marital problems and they are trying to work things out.

Kaso ang third party, nanggugulo. Nang-aaway at ayaw magpaawat.



Wala na ba talagang ibang lalaki sa mundo?

Maraming lalaki sa mundo?

From being an Ex to a Friend...

I was listening to RX this morning and Chico said something that made a point. I don't even know what the topic was cos I was half asleep and half contemplating. But judging from his conversation with Delamar, the topic might have been something about The Ex.

I guess their topic was something like How'd you know if You are Over Your Ex.

Chico said something like "You'd know na you are over your ex if you start referring to him/her as your friend instead of the ex..."

He really made a point there. I mean, in the normal order of things, if a relationship ends, the least that you could be with to each other is a friend. It's not something na so hard to do considering na you shared special moments with that person. But of course, you don't achieve that friendship right away. Assuming that you parted amicably, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Personally, it took me years before I considered my ex as a friend. I was hurt with the break-up. You can't expect me to be friends with the person who broke my heart. I used to hate him, a lot. Just thinking about seeing him again makes me crazy. I wanted to get even. I wanted to kick his ass and make him feel sorry. But like what they always say, "Time heals all wounds." Siguro nagsawa na rin ako sa kaka-plot ng pagpatay ko sa kanya. Lol. It finally dawned on me na ganun talaga, na you can't force a person to love you. The only thing that you could do is be the person that you are and be loved as who you are.

It really takes time, believe me. But when you get to that point, mas magaan ang feeling. I don't know ha, but with me, mas naging at peace ako. Siguro dahil walang baggage na dapat i-drag.


'Vyn, I honestly hope you are happy, at peace and contented as I am.

Finally, a template na I am so happy with. It took me weeks to look for something like this. Bonus pa kasi it's purple. Lucky, lucky me. :)

Too many Sayangs...

And so I haven't been posting. To start with, I've got nothin' interesting to share.

Work is okay. Finally, my CA's lifted. For one, I can apply for a different position na. Secondly, pwede na ulit mag-absent. Hahaha. Seriously, I was so looking forward to this. I've missed a lot of opportunities. One word, sayang! Oh well, you lose some, you gain some.

I was watching TV yesterday, I chanced upon "Bcuz of U" at Cinema One. I just realized, cute din naman pala si Diether Ocampo. Lol. Showbiz! They look good together ni Kristine Hermosa. Too bad it didn't work out. Again, sayang! Ang ganda siguro ng anak nila if they were able to reproduce. Hahaha. Showbiz.

Missed calls from a cousin in Baguio. Turns out na may tinanan ang beloved cousin ko. My gas! So ancient ha. May mga nagtatanan pa pala sa panahon ngayon. Anyhow, I know na my cousin has his reasons. I just hope that he realizes that this doesn't solve anything. It complicates everything, bigtime! Again, another sayang! He has so much ahead of him. I'm sure that goes the same with the girl. Hay... mga kabataan ngayon... kakaiba!


This week's almost over. It wasn't that bad when I get to think about it. I had my manicure and pedicure. I was able to settle some of my bills. Tapos na rin with the grocery. I just wish I had the time to do some of the stuffs na I was itching to do.


Sayang...

This Weekend...

If you don't get along with one person, that's perfectly okay.

If you don't get along with two persons, read between the lines.

If majority of the ton is having problems with you, you need to think things over.

While it's true that you cannot please everybody, it doesn't hurt if you are nice to everyone.

What comes around, goes around.

And you seriously think that none of these is your fault?

And you think that nothing's wrong with you?

I applaud you're audacity.

Hands down, You are the King of Density.

And you make me puke.

We're going to a wedding later. And I should be sleeping. Now.


My closet needs a major overhaul. It's begging to be organized. I can hear her whimpering from where I'm sitting.


A manicure and pedicure would be heaven.


A new book won't hurt. I wonder if Cecelia Ahern's If You Could See Me Now is already available at Powerbooks. Hmm...


A basketball game on Sunday. Suporta for the boyfriend.


I want a new phone. What model? No idea...


Grocery list.


Need to pay some bills.



What an exciting life I lead... Yawn.
