have anyone noticed that so far most of my entries here is more of back tracking and somewhat on a nostalgic approach(at may ganun talaga?!). here goes another one! I have been reminded of my younger "ME" debating with my tito's(who are just drunk that night that's why they obliged) back in my intermediate days,on what is the significance of studying history. I must admit that it's one of the most boring subject for me. Modesty aside, it wasn't a problem for me to pass this subject though, or maybe that's one reason why i don't put too much heart on it. Or simply i am just not a fan. As one of my previous teacher told us, "history opens the door to the future". In my tiny mind then, I did not further argue. I accepted that history provides us lessons to learn... it has been our guide... a vision of what maybe in-store for tommorow. Ok fine, in that sense, history have served it's purpose well. On the contrary, aren't we the ones who's creating our own history? So when I hear someone tells a kid that he/she will have no future, just because the parents have been a failure, and further comments "history repeats itself"... it surely hits my nerves in extremes! duh? stop playing like Nostradamus, HELLO??? your life is not perfect either! and please spare the kid! In this sense, i'd want to hate history. I have a friend who've been through a very bad relationship, ok let's just say it was traumatic emotionally. Considering that they they've been together for almost a decade and the only thing that's missing is this "certificate of marriage". The guy was my friend's first. So when they broke up, I was surprised how my friend have changed enormously. The thing she believed before was something sacred and special for her, has now become a regular normal "thing". I told her once, that this is not who she really was. But I guess she have been blinded of what she had experienced in the past, that her concept of love, sex and marrige have become blurred and distorted. Should she be blamed? It was all along her choice.... Again, a history that should've been disregarded. Like in the goverment now, it's like going on circles all over again. Characters have changed but the system is still the same. It seems like everyone have already extended their dismay and oppositions. But did the so-called "history" really made the people learned their lessons? I guess not. In this perspective, I am not a believer of history. It is not that I disrespect the significant people and the heroes who made history, but on my personal belief, history should distinguished what should be left in the remains of the past from what is real wisdom that should be encrypted for tommorow's direction. So what's my point here? Whatever happened in the past is P.A.S.T. You can't conceal, deny or CHANGE it! That is why we have TODAY because you hold the day to make amends, to become better. Now, that becomes a CHOICE not a CHANCE!
Gusto ko magsulat... kahit ano...random thoughts... my head's in a jam. I wasn't able to attend mass today, i really needed the comfort from God, magulo ngayon ang sense of direction ko. Suddenly i feel like i am lost. I just called my mom a while ago, kasi i feel the need to talk to someone who'll hear me out,to clear cobwebs in my head Ewan ko ba? malamang epekto ng pagiging autistic ko since I moved and started working here in SG. Alam ko naman, i have always had this "detachment" syndrome... and lately i feel the need to breath new air. Nauuta na ako sa work ko, but i need to work. Last night I chatted with my friend sa Pinas, we used to work in the same company before, when i left eventually most of my batchmates left as well including her. She's self-employed sort of, working in a home-based call center. Considering the income she gets and convinience of staying home which means not being away from her family, makes me want to reconsider. Haay... dami lang kasing considerations. But I really miss home. I always say this, there's no place like home talaga! Kaya nga even if I have to allot 3 hours travelling nung nag wowork pa ako sa QC, i dont mind as long as i will be heading home, kahit pa madalas lumalampas ako sa dapat kong babaan dahil nakakatulog ako sa biyahe. But it's not too easy to quit here, remembering the tough times I have gone through to secure a job, di kaya mawindang si God pag nag change of heart ako? that's one major consideration. I need to save too! a must! for the past 7 months working here wala pa akong ipon.Di naman ako maluhong tao,branded stuff don't fancy me, i haven't even got myself a pricey clothes, bags or perfume, so far my biggest spending is only this laptop na tanging connection ko sa mundo, bakit nga ba wala pa akong ipon? Somehow I feel I have confined myself on something na until now i can't define. Pero, Leona magcomplain pa ba? Alam ko naman na if i'll look around i am still very much blessed,but at least feeling ko self-inflicted lang 'tong mental torture na pinagdadaanan ko at alam ko dadaan lang to...I just want it to pass soon... arrrgh! Sayang naman ang positive energies ko pag nagkataon. Sa ngayon i'll just let each day takes it's own course, bahala na muna si batman. Pero syempre, i am preparing for my back up plan. SHit! di kaya boredome lang to? eh lagi naman akong bored so anong bago? haayy... baliw! Basta tama na to.. baka mahawa pa sa akin yung babasa nito, kung meron man. Bukas pag gising ko, bagong araw na ulit, bagong thoughts, bagong pakikipagsapalaran... bagong kaiinisan. at least bago! yun lang!

i am still at this point amazed with people who keeps their blog everyday... makes me wonder where do they get all these endless thoughts from? oh yeah i've noticed most of them really reads a lot. well, that one i'm sure i've been missing. i don't know, i had to be in the mood for reading and it has to be something that i should get to enjoy reading. it was never part of my system to make it a habit. i confess some books leads me to sleep soundly that the following morning i am not too keen to finish it. somewhere, somehow, some profoundness is rooted in me too,(i hope?!) but then i am not really so good in interpreting them in a well versed writing. i am quite an opinionated person. i know what i want to believe in and makes sure i stand firm with whatever that is. i missed my friendly thesaurus back home which has saved me from my usual redundancy syndrome. for a while it made me feel that i have had my vocabulary upgrading placed on halt, because one i don't read much, two i have been too lazy(lame excuses) and three i don't get to have the luxury of ruling my time and tuning it with my mood.(weird) yes! i am such a moody, moody person. i am quite of an extreme of end to end. i am usually quiet but at the same noisy too! is there such a thing? oh well i guess i just miss the comfort of my room back home, the accessibility of the stuff i keep and my momentus box of mess well, that's what my mom would like to call it but for me it's my memorabilia. i wanted to go home soon. i've been itching to book myself for a flight sometime in june, hopefully. but there are things i still have yet to settle. by then i can focus on what will my itenerary will be like. ten days wil be really short, but that's what i can afford for now, cause i am also eyeing to go back by new year at least, so i am saving up my remaining VL's just in case. major plans?! i am not such a planner in terms on how i want my life to turn in the next months, years or so. i just try to live each day as it is. trying not to disappoint myself too, when the plans didn't turned as it was supposed to, but the positive hope is with me still. hopefully i can write more worth reading/interesting blogs in the coming days,writing has been my expression and some form of stress diversion. i'll try to read... ok i won't promise but i'll try really... if there's any of you who would like to suggest me a good read, feel free to post your suggestions... i am open to it! or if you feel like donating one, i'd be more appreciative. (kapal?!)
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.
Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, " We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.
There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."
She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!
These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. -reposted from an email i received. i just feel that it's worth sharing... hope you liked it!
 what does twenty six means? i tried searching in google but it didn't give me any sensible answers. i'm no numerology expert but when you add up 2 and 6 that will result to 8 which defines infinity. oh well, my summation is not really well researched, that's just my assumption! hahaha! maybe i am just trying to give a meaning to my age. but come to think of it? isn't "infinity" is such a hopeful and a positive word? it promises endless possibilities...
for the past 26 years of my life, i'd say my life has been my achievement. there have been quite a number of mischief and challenges I thought I won't be able to conquer, but hey! here i am standing still ready to face a new day. i always thank God for the people i have and had in my life. for me, they are my real blessings. i may not have all dainty pricey stuff, but having the great bunch of people made me worth even richer than any richest man in the world. seriously! as in! they are the reason why i am, who i am and who i am not. why i have what i have now... or i don't... how time flies, i still remember waiting for every saturday to eat pinipig crunch with my Pop, whenever he got his pay weekly. my mom pulling up my short hair to get my pigtail done. Me, singing "may isang pipit" on my Tatay Sulping's papag as if it was my stage. My "wowie" headband worn on my grade six class picture which made me looked really odd and my blue plastic attache case bag that has become my trademark whenever elementary days is reminded of. the awkward stage of being a teen ager. not a girl not yet a woman as they say. i used to be a loner,though i still have my autistic days once in a while, but i have my ways of keeping friends too! and i tell you those whom i have named friends they have remained to be my friends. from elementary, HS. college, workmates or even yung minsan ko lang nakasabay sa bus. isn't that an achievement itself?! di man ako lumaki sa marangyang buhay, but the memories i have gathered all these time, are all worth keeping. for some i wouldn't be surprised if you'll envy me. siguro nga, i have taken each day as it comes. lahat yata ng phase na dapat pagdaanan ng isang growing individual pinagdaan ko. except drugs and sex? whoa! now this is a statement! there was one time na na-praning ang mama ko sa pagaakalang nag rerebelde ako, little did she know i am just exploring all my other possibilities, and now, alam ko kahit paano my family can be proud of me. somehow in my simple ways i have given them pride. i have not so far drag their name to shame.(hopefully i can keep it that way). i am not an ideal daughter i know, i have had caused them troubles too, but it was all part of the lessons i had to learn the hard way. what's important is that i have maintained this high regard with life, myself, the people around, my family and God. it's so amazing how i have become. my life that is. i am so blessed and so loved. the opportunities and experiences are overwhelming. siguro sa iba, they'd say ang babaw ko, but isn't the most precious joys are the ones uncomplicated and simple. though i know there are still spaces for me to fill in, roles to undertake, struggles to overcome and win. i know keeping my hopes high and maintaining a positive mind will help me to get there. i am not perfect not even close to one. i did and still does bad things. but i am continuously learning. aiming to become better each day. you can judge me or name me names for all i care, but the truth is, i still know myself best. to pave way to another year of life's blessings, may i extend my deepest gratitude to all the people who made my life worth living. To my parents who have instilled the virtues of unselfishness and consideration, to my sister who have taught me to understand love in spite and despite of , to everyone who made me feel blessed and encouraged me to be more appreciative and to GOD whom i owe everything to. I hope somehow, i have embarked something... my only wish is that i can be at least an instrument to other to see how beautiful life is. i have my own issues when it comes to my esteem, nevertheless i wouldn't want to take away from people the chance to feel that they too are of significance. if i may borrow a quote, it is not who you are that matter but how you made others feel by being who you are that counts. cheers to the infinite! i live to be happy and hopefully everyone does too!
since valentines day will be coming in a few weeks time,it just came to my mind how will this day be different from my usual valentines day. since i recently got my roster for the coming month,i realized luckily and unluckily february 14th falls on my day off so i thought, maybe it's a chance for me to make a difference, ( i hope) or perhaps a good tactic to seclude myself from those couple wearing red, bouquets and chocolates, PDA's and all that fancy couple thing. not that i am bitter or what, but sometimes it hits my esteem, why all this time i am uncoupled, but then again what's new? i remember one valentines day, i intentionally made it the "singles soiree" for all my other single/unattached girl friends. i hosted it, prepared some food and sang our hearts out in the tune of all the women empowering songs! "i will survive" was just one of them. and i bet you that made all of us feel good! it was fun! while trying to search anything that will fancy me in google i suddenly found myself taking the "Are you Ready for Love" quiz, though at the back of my mind I know I am... I have always been.. because I am always in love! hahaha!(conceited) somehow, it's a reassurement that hey i am soo fine! love will come in time.... and i know that whenever that time is, i'll be ready! the result:  Here's to you! You seem to understand what makes a relationship WORK. (And, what's more, you're not desperate to plunge into one!) You're also gifted with a positive attitude, a love of communication, and tact.
Being sensitive and enlightened, you won't rush into things...but if lightning strikes, you're ready for the opportunity!

Honestly, what comes in mind when you hear about "call center"?
NO brainer job is it??? For people who's not been in the industry or probably been there but had a worst experience, its easy to come up with such judgements.
It may not give you distinct titles like, DR., ATTY., HONORABLES.. so what?? that doesn't
make it less as a "career".
Mind you, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the amazing and wonderful individuals in the industry and not discounting their intellects....
Of course, i can't speak for everyone, but as far as my experience is concern, i have no complains...
Some say, what's so fulfilling with the job? Some even pointed that i may just be motivated by money... if money was my ultimate drive, i could have switched to politics which we all know the most "decent" and claims to be for the "intelligent ones"...
What's my point?? I just want to make a statement its NOT "just" an answering machine job!
You need to have the heart, its not all brains or twangs.. its a measure of flexibility as a person and being able reach out... to be connected.... and for me its an opportunity and a privilege.
So far it taught me to further improve my patience and tolerance....
Its not at all easy as some presumed to be.
And to you my fellow colleagues, acquiring a certain accent doesn't make you a good speaker.. its not something we should be bragging about... i rather find it dense and funny!
Be still.. you don't have to morphed into someone else you're not!
It's a job. Everyone has choices and decisions to make. It may not be pleasing or ideal for everybody. But again, it's our way of life.
And so far, I am enjoying where I am... I am happy for people who finds success with their chosen paths... but common, stop generalizing and categorizing!
Human life and all its complexities...
I've learned it from a friend, you may not be the nicest person for everyone at all times, but as long as you are considerate, then you are fine....
"Thank you for calling customer care..."
From this moment 4ward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems & that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing. Never again will i blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation. Neither my education nor lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstantial ebb & flow of everyday life will affect my future in a negative way. If i allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past. I will forward. I will not let history control my destiny. The buck stops here. I accept responsibilty for my past. I am responsible for my success. I am where I am today---mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially-- because of decisions i have made. My decisions have always been governed by my thinking. Therefore, I am where I am--mentally, physically....& so on, bec. of how i think. Today, I will begin the process of changing where I am---mentally, physically....spiritually--by changing the way i think. My thoughts will be constructive, never destructive. My mind will live in the solutions of the future. It will not dwell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working& striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating w/ those who have decided to be comfortable. When face w/ the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. I understand that God did not put in me the ability to always make right decisions. He did however, put in me the ability to make a decision & then make it right. The rise & fall of my emotional tide will not deter me frm my course. When i make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go in2 making the decision. I will waste none on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement.  The buck stops here. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. In the future, when i am tempted to ask the question "Why me?"  I will immediately counter w/ the answer "Why not me?"  Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread running through the lives of great men & women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to deal with; I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept the preparation.   Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great!  I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts, I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success. The buck stops here.
i suddenly got pissed by some twists...
why am i here in multiply? why am i adding people i barely know?
guess, im just being human... a fan?
whats wrong with being friendly?? or just trying to get in touched...
i cant remember a single multiplier whom i posted nasty or mean notes...
(aside from lalaland errr... but nothing really offensive or brutal, besides shes not someone i should be bothered about)
thats just not my thing...
i am not here trying to please people... my site is an expression of ME.
whoever appreciates... thank you!
i guess, some people can be overly obsessed with their status
and ordinary stangers like me,dont matter...
whats my point??? just get real!
if you dont like a person then dont act as if you do.
everybody hated fakers but unconsciously they're becoming one.
why are you fond of haters? then maybe you're give out reasons for people to hate you...
i hate to use the word hate...
for "hatred" only applies to someone you love or at least someone you've been closely attached with....
For YOU guys who's been in my contacts list. THANK YOU!
wether you've checked every single post i made or doesnt bother at all
you're presence here meant something to me...
trying to fit in this "online world" is like living a surreal fantasy
the people i personally know would attest if im just putting up a different identity here.
this is ME,
wether or not i conform with you're standards or ideals of a "superb online buddy"
i dont really care, for i know outside this world...
ive got great real human friends who stood by me in weakest times of my life
if i may just commend some people...
"love" - you really live up to the name... no wonder God is blessing you abundantly
gel - for embracing me with open arms, bugsey - for believing that i can do blogs.
and to everyone else who took time to spare some glimpse of me...
i appreciate it a lot!
to all my real human friends who happen to be my contacts here as well, you know who you are! thank you and i miss you guys! lets do hang out soon!!!
lets keep on spreading human virtues here... peace out
Blame the Fairy tales... they molded my idea of "romance"
Count Helen Meriz, for once I became a loyal reader of her tagalog novels...
But isn't nice to be ideal and be moved by romanticism....
I've heard a lot of tales of pairing up then breaking up.
Sad stories, some i even got mad... i am somehow feeling the pain...
I still believe in magic...
Such a fantasy...
Relieving the child in me...
Love is supposed to be ageless and timeless
And it should always make you feel good... always...
So when I am asked... are you in love???
I say... Always...
Its a positive feeling....
It makes me feel good, even if that "MAN" is yet to be known...
Reasons to make me look forward tomorrow...
Excites me... PlantS a SMiLe on my face...
CheeRS to my FelloW HopELess Case!!! hahaha!!!
Lets all wake up for now...
So what if I’m single? I’m not alone… it’s really tough for a 25 year old like me to claim I am single, much worst to admit that you are a member of N.B.S.B. society. People start passing judgments on you, as if they really know you.
In this generation where relationships are established in an instant and in so many so ways, I can’t blame some people wondering why I’m staying in this status.
Call it fate… perhaps a choice… but should that be a problem? I don’t think that it will fit me in the category of unhappy, inexperienced, dumb, insensitive or handicapped individual just because I’m uncoupled. On the contrary, being single allowed me to become a better ME. It taught me to appreciate what a real happiness is, it opened my eyes to see more and widen my perspective. I’m not a man-hater or have a relationship phobia. Actually, the word “lovelife” excites me, I’m even looking forward to have my own. Admittedly, I get “senti” once in a while. There are days when I wonder what its like to share a special moment with a significant other, times like when I can run to no one but my self, when most of my friends are already married, almost married or on the verge of getting there. But I know all these have a reason. That’s why I made my self more functional to the lives of the people I’m with and in need, these give me different life meanings... In fact, my status allowed me to become more appreciative with people. My Mom, Dad, my only sis Nicks, friends, acquaintances, colleagues… all those who contributed to who ever I am now, the people I love and to whom I’ll always be grateful for. There was a point that I even consider playing cupid as a career. If lovelife doesn't work on me, through me, let it work for others... So who says I’m bitter?
There’s no point on pitying me. It’s pathetic. Why can’t you understand that I’m fine, very actually! I may even have a better life than any of those of you who keeps on pressuring that I should be attached. Alright, I appreciate your worries, thanks! But no thanks! Save it for others. Stop making me a project for mismatching. It Sucks! It only makes me feel like I’m a hopeless case. Which I’m totally not! I’ll find love… my own time and place… Isn’t that supposed to be my call? It’s my life after all…

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want.Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.
You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
this was a forwarded email.. sobrang nakakaaliw lang.. just wanna share this with you
Bakit ba tuwing may "get2geder" ang mga tao,
mapa-family reunion man or
simpleng barkada gimik,
ang unang tanong sayo ay
"May boyfriend ka ba?"
at bago ka pa maka-sagot ay maririnig mo naman ang
"Bakett walaaaaaa??!"
Hayyy, kelangan ba talagang may bitbit kang boylet sa
mga occasions na ito?
Pano kung wala talaga?
Alanganamang maki-usap pa ako sa
mga "close" guy friends ko
para mag-panggap na "kami"?!
Di naman ata tama yun, dee-bah?
How I wish na sana mas maintindihan ng mga tao
na sa mga panahon ngayon ay
"accepted" na sa society na MEDYO made-delay
ang pag-iisang dibdib ng mga kababaihan..
especially girls like me
who want to get into so many things
all at the same time.
I also wish that people would understand that
OKAY LANG AKO
and the rest of
THE SAMAHANG MALAMIG ANG PASKO...
Valentines day..
Birthday..etc.
I mean, we do get lonely once in a while..
naiingit din dun sa may mga LOVELIFE...
paminsan-minsan?
kung minsan naman ay nagmumuni sa mga
past kilig moments?
but these lonely moments
do not and will not
make our "world" stop...
Isipin nyo nalang, na kung wala kaming mga single
friends nyo,
eh di wala kayong paghihingaan ng sama ng loob
tuwing nag-aaway kayo ng boylet or girlet nyo?
wala rin kayong "instant date"
kung sakaling nangailangan kayo?...
wala rin kayong mahihila sa mall
para maghanap ng magandang regalo
for your better-half pag xmas...
o kaya pag bday nya?
at ang pinaka-mahalaga sa lahat,
wala kayong KAKAMPI
if things between you and your labidabs
don't work out.
Marami naman sa aming mga singles
ay nakaranas na rin na "ma-in-love"..
yun nga lang,
