I’M TRYING TO BE ENOUGH

Somewhere, there is this perfect me that I’ve concocted in my head. Her apartment is always clean, she excels at work, she’s in the perfect relationship, twitter never rejected her verification request, her roots never grow in, she doesn’t get zits, she’s always fair and never impulsive, everyone admires her, she isn’t afraid of driving, she has a 6 month emergency fund, she never falls asleep with candles burning. She’s essentially me but the exact opposite.

She’s everything I’m never going to be. The truth is, I kind of hate myself. And I think that might just be part of life. I’m trying to be enough. But even “enough” these days feels like a dirty word. Because more is more and more is better and more means waking up and feeling accomplished, feeling happy and feeling satisfied.

I LOVE YOU

The hardest thing I have ever done is walk-away still madly in love with you..

People may not tell you how they feel about you but they always show you; so pay attention..

If you need me, call me. I don’t care if I’m sleeping, if I’m having my own problems or if I’m angry at you. If you need me and if you need to talk to me, I’ll always be there for you. No matter how big or how small the problem is, I’ll be there..

He: Be my valentine
Me: Be my everyday

You’re the smile to my face and the beat to my heart..

Love doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be true..

My Dear, I know your complexity and I have seen its madness but I’m still inlove with you. I care about your worries regardless of their size or magnitude. You are amazing beyond words and all I want is your happiness always and forever..

Every single second of everyday, you are on my mind. It’s funny how you don’t know you have this power over me. The power to make me go absolutely crazy over you.

I’m giving up on you in my mind but my heart won’t let you go

Love is when he makes you cry but you still want him. When he ignores you but you still love him.

You gotta understand the difference between someone who speaks to you on their free time and someone who frees their time to speak to you.

HINDI MO IKAMAMATAY AT KAKABABANG-URI NA BABAE ANG WALANG LOVE LIFE

Kung gusto mo ng best friend na lalaki, wait until that time that a guy lay down his intentions na gusto kang i-pursue as a wife. Your husband will be your best friend.

If you don’t want this boy to be your husband, then don’t be his best friend either.

If you like a boy, relax. Don’t be too obvious sister nor give special attention to him. Don’t test the waters by trying to be his best friend aka pseudo girl friend.

The line, “Tumatanda na ako, magiging choosy pa ba ako? Mukhang puwede na siya so try na lang natin.” That is wrong.

Women are meant to wait and be pursued. You can casually be friends with men but don’t overdo it by giving special care and attention to some. Guard your precious hearts too.

Pray about it, for your heart’s sake and seek God’s perspective about this boy that’s mingling in your thought and heart.

Do you think it is a sacrificial love when you let your guy friend to his demise of falling in love in a wrong perspective? If you’re a true friend, you’ll be honest and help that person not to fall in that big mistake and just watch him to be broken hearted.

You want to get to know him first by be being friends with him? But then una sa lahat, magpa-clarity check muna before hanging out! Wag assuming! Kung just friends then just hang out with a group of friends. Hindi iyong kayo lang dalawa palagi.


Hindi minamadali ang love life, hindi siya laro at biro. Hindi laruan ang puso mo and hindi mo ikamamatay at kakababang-uri na babae ang walang love life.

DEAR BFF GIRL,

Been asking myself for the longest time. And finally I came crying at the thought “huli na,” I am inlove with you. I am sorry for the heartache, for the pain I caused you. I am sorry that it took a lot of time to realized that I liked you. Don’t worry, I am ok. I know it’ll pass too. I know you are now happy and in love and all. And I don’t have any intent meddling your relationship. Yet, pero I love you one last time my bff girl..

LOVE,
BFF BOY

CRUSH

I have a crush on a guy and I was telling him a story about a bear I was obsessed with when I was a kid and there was a moment when I could tell that he was looking at me with this expression of like “this person is really cute”. I keep thinking about it because I don’t understand how someone could look at me this way. I’m not saying a fairy tale story, there are a lot of factors in this scenario but I am talking about a singular, pure moment. That happened and it was real and I can’t get myself to understand it. If this were a book I were reading, I would screenshot the section to a writer friend and say, ‘lol, that’s not how things work sry!”

COURTSHIP 101

Men, if the woman you like and love said yes in courtship with you and you know in your heart that the feelings are not yet mutual, well, you need to do something about it. If you want to hear her next yes for a long lasting relationship, you need to lead the friendship to a deeper level everyday. How can you lead her in the future kung friendship palang hindi mo na siya ma-lead? Make sure to make the courtship deep, interesting and fun everyday.

“Kamusta ka na? “Hahaha!” or spiritual text messages are good but how about asking her deep and interesting questions like, “What adventures do you like?” “What are your earliest memories?” “How did you handle first day of school when you were a child?” “What’s your routine every morning?” “How about at night?” “What’s your favorite cartoon character?” “Fave thing to do beside this and that?” Make sure to connect. Don’t just text. You can call, send emails, visit her at home and make some surprises.

How about going out on dates (of course with the permission of your parents) but doing not the usual ones? How about considering eating in turu-turo’s, go on a roller coaster ride, have some roadtrips while playing loud music and sing together? How about working out together and become gym buddies? Or do a Bible-Study in a coffee shop?

Oh girls love that!

Remember this: Courtship is another level of friendship and this might lead the both of you to at least consider marriage in the future but how will this happen if it’s stagnant, usual and not growing?

Courtship is a wonderful time in your relationship which you refrain from physical intimacy, you deepen friendship, learn about each other’s values and goals, and interacted spiritual level.

Wag kang pumayag na ang kanta ni girl sayo ay ito: How can I fall, how can I fall if you just won’t give me reason at all?

Men, let it grow! Kung manliligaw ka ay husayan mo na! If not, someone else will.

P.S.
Kung nag-aaral ka pa, hindi para sayo ito, hahaha : D

A LETTER FROM HIM

You are stubborn and hard headed but God knows I love you. There are days when you’re grumpy for no apparent reason other than the fact that you’re grumpy. When you’re sick, you’re helpless and all I can really do is sit beside you and comfort you until you falls asleep. There are days when you’ll complain about everything like the weather, people, music, or even me and I’ll just have to deal with it.

There are days when you shuts the world out, you’ll ignore everyone because you just wants to sit in silence. Days when you’ll cry and I don’t know why but I won’t ask because you will not answer, so I’ll just let you cry.

Days when you’re nervous and jumpy about everything. Days when you yells at me for no reason just to apologize 2 seconds later. Days when I’m listening to my favorite song and you’ll talk over it because for you, talking is more important than music. There are days when I need you to make decisions, to do the littlest things like pick a place to eat. You’ll refuse and say “I don’t know” until I give up and decide myself. Sometimes you’ll swear like a sailor and make jokes during times when you should probably be serious.

Sometimes you’re clumsy and sometimes you’re walking contradiction; but you’re everything I’ve ever wanted.  I’d do everything  to have your “bad days,” your “grumpy days”, your “I need space days,” your “love me days,” your “laughing days,” your “clumsy days” and your “happy days” because you are everything I’ve ever wanted and I wouldn’t trade you for anything in this world.
