Listen to the good advice of your friends. Thank them for their concern, then do exactly how you feel. Hey, it's your life. Just don't whine afterwards. -- Jessica Zafra
I am fighting the temptation to drink a glass of cold water. After talking non-stop over dinner and over a tall peppermint mocha frap, I am taking into consideration what Glenn said that if I drink I might not be able to speak afterwards and I have experienced not being able to speak during the time I worked for a call center...
Anyway, before I digress from the main topic of this entry, we talked about relationships and love and all the shit which comes from talking about love.
Sa tagal at dami ng pinag-usapan namin, I don't know where to start and how to start it.
We talked about the 3 stages of love: Falling In Love, Falling Out of Love, and Deciding to Love. I have to say that my favorite stage would be Falling In Love.
We talked about the "97/3". That 97% of what you are looking is already in your partner. But we tend to look for the 3% in another person. The question is, will you jeopardize your relationship with the 97% over the 3%?
We talked about hypocrisy and choices. Don't tell me that you're this kind of person and you will never be bad when in fact, you've never been bad because you were never given a chance to be bad or choices to choose from. Don't tell us that you will not engage in pre-marital sex when the truth is, you were never given a chance or a choice to engage in it. The hypocrisy makes me sick!
We talked about temptations. Bakit ang bawal ang sarap gawin?
We talked about getting hurt. That everyone goes through it. May nagsabi, "Hindi nyo kasi kami naiintindihan. Alam mo ba nararamdaman namin?" Sabi ng isa, "Hindi nila alam. Wag na tayong humingi ng advice sa kanila." Sabi naman nila, "Pinagdaanan na namin yan."
Questions were asked like, "Hanggang kelan?" and "Bat nya 'to ginagawa kung mahal nya girlfriend nya?" and "Special ba ako sa kanya?" and "Na-de-depress ako! Anung gagawin ko?" and "Mahal mo ba or pride mo lang."
In the end, we toasted to closure. Pero may closure nga ba? Parang wala. Parang nasayang lang laway natin. Pero masaya sya. Therapy. Ang sarap i-process. Ang sarap i-analyze. Gawin natin ito ulit sa Batangas. Magdadala ako ng Tequila at Bailey's. Si Allan magdadala ng Partee at Viz!!! Hahaha!!!
In the end, it is better to Let Go and Let God.
Di ba
Tangina nagmukha akong tanga
Pinaasa niya lang ako
Lecheng pag-ibig to-o-o-oh
O diyos ko ano ba naman ito
--- Eraserheads, Pare ko
Note: Let's all pray for the speedy recovery of Marianne's mom who's suffered a stroke and is currently confined in Las Pinas' Doctors. Marianne, we miss you already. Sana makasama ka sa Batangas this weekend. Inform us kapag pwede na kaming dumalaw sa hospital.
