unspoken dreams

Boy:I broke up with her. His Best Friend: What happened? Boy: She’s just too much for me. His Best Friend: What makes you say that? What did she do wrong? Boy: Well,for one.. She only cared about her appearance. Always had to look good, always took forever to get dressed! So insecure.. His Best Friend: So, you broke her heart because she wanted to keep your eyes locked on her? She wanted you to see that you have the prettiest girl under your sleeve and not think otherwise? I see.. Boy:Oh.. Well. She’d often call me or text me asking where I am, who I’m with, telling me not to smoke, not to drink. She’s so clingy! His Best Friend: So,you broke her heart because she cares about your well being? Because she cares about you a lot? And her greatest fear is losing you. I see.. Boy:But.. Uhh.. Well, she’d always cry when I say something slightly mean. She can’t handle anything. She’s a crybaby! His Best Friend:So,you broke her heart because she has feelin...

My life is like a never ending book in progress. I know madalas nang ginawang comparison ‘ton pero really, that’s how I see my life. Madaming chapters at madami ding revisions. Madaming settings at madaming characters involved. Lahat nagdadagdag ng kulay at saya sa libro. Lahat may contribution. Kapag nawala ang isa, mawawalan ng kwenta ang libro. Mawawalan na ng substance.

Love is a two way process. When you love someone, you may not expect anything from that person in return but we must face the fact that time will come you’ll feel yourself empty. We have what we call emotional bank. Just like ang ordinary bank, ditto natin iniipon yung mga feelings natin and at the same time, ditto ntin hinuhugot yung feelings natin. Since birth, madaming ng tao ang nadedeposit at nag wiwithdraw sa emotional bank natin. Parents, friends, relatives or even enemies. Boy: I love you.. Girl: Aaww.. sweet.. thank you.. Boy: (silent. Yun na yon?) yeah. Sweet ko noh? What if one day, we kept on “withdrawing” from our emotional bank ng walang kapalit? Just like any bank account. Mawawala at mauubos din kahit ang “maintaining balance” nito or yung pagmamahal sa sarili natin. Dito na dadating sa point na its either magsasawa at mapapagod ka na dahil wala ka ng paghuhugutan or kung mas masaklap, iiwanan ka na lang ng wala ka ng wala nang laman ang emotiona...

I’m currently reading “LoveStruck: Love mo s’ya, Sure ka ba?” and I am learning a lot. The delivery and the content are very relatable and simplified. I’d like to share one part of the book which tackles different reasons why people go on dating. J Top 8 Reasons Why Young People Date 1.        Peer Pressure – Mga taong nadadala lang sa sulsol ng barkada o di kaya dahil sila na lang ang single sa grupo. Or worse, kadalasan ginagawa na lang ito katuwaaan at pinagpupustahan na lang ang pakikipag relasyon. 2.        Solution to previous Break-up – Ang solusyon daw para makalimutan ang sakit ng nakaraan ay ang magsimula ng isang bagong pag ibig. Kumbaga sa basketball, rebound na lang. 3.        Family Issues – Eto ang mga taong kulang sa atensyon o pansin sa bahay o di kaya sa pamilya kaya naghahanap ng kalinga at atensyon mula sa ibang tao. Mga taong naghahanap ng “shoulder to cry on”...

October 3, 2000 Danilo Rafael David Gonzales lll was born. He's my second nephew and I must say, the closest to me. I took care of him and stood as his second father since his parents need to work. For 8 years, I watched him grow. But just like the old cliche, nothing's permanent. He flew to Canada to be with his parents. I was devastated. It feels like I lost a part of me. It has been 3 long years after he left and still my heart longs for Raprap. He will always be my first 'son'. I know someday we will be together again. Happy 11th birthday RAPRAP! I LOVE YOU!

3 typhoons in one week. Thigh deep flood. Crazy strong wind. Continuous rain. Those were the things I’ve experienced last week. It was terrifying. I can’t stand the scenario. It was something I didn’t expect. And what breaks my heart even more is that my parents are devastated since we lost our business because of what happened. It will be another tough time for us but I know we can surpass this. We’ve done it before and we can do it again. Everything has its own reason. We just need to open our hearts, mind and eyes for us to accept and see it. For now, I am happy that we are all safe and alive. There’s nothing more precious than life and we should really all be thankful. God bless every one.
