To Whom It May Concern:

Learn to appreciate every effort he makes. Remember, he gave up every dream he had, just to grant your request. He gave up the life he used to have just to help you. On top of it, he chose what you wanted for his life, even if he wanted it otherwise. You will never know what you had, until you lose it.
It was all because of how much he wanted you to be proud of him, and how much he really loves you.
You should know it, better than I do.

To Her Friend...

Truth is..I am not aware of what really happened that day. I don’t know the reasons behind their decision. I don’t intend to know anymore. I’m just happy that she is ok. And whoever is making her feel that way, THANK YOU. I owe you a lot. Continue what your doing. I’ll be behind your back as long as she’ll be wearing that smile and that glow in her face (even if I can’t see it I know). AND I will be watching you, so beware. =)

Thank You

“Love yourself first before loving anybody else, so that in the end, when things will be rough, you won’t end up pitying yourself.” This is always the advice people give to those who are in a relationship, especially to those who are “adik-adik” to their boyfriend or girlfriend, who spend so much of their attention and time for their behalf, instead of their own self first.

But I still can’t quite understand though why you still choose to love me with everything first - to the point that I always come first in your schedule, you say yes to every request I ask as long as it’s reasonable and it’s within your capability, and more..more than I can think of. And whenever I ask why, you say “Eh siyempre, ganun ka kaimportante sakin eh..Ganun lang talaga kita kamahal..na gusto ko lagi kang ok at masaya..” And I always end up crying whenever you tell me that..

It’s not that I don’t believe anything, it’s just that I’m too hard-headed to just absorb everything..haha, I guess it’s just because until now, di pa din talaga ako makapaniwala that you’re with me now..the most unexpected thing that has ever happened to me. But I’m very much happy with it..very very much happy. =)

Emancipation???

I was once this person who always relied on my parents in a lot of aspects. I know how to be independent at times, but it was then much easier not to. I lived by whole college life with them always having a say. I never thought that living in such a way is something that would hunt me after.


Then graduation came, still, I ended up having accomplished things because they were what my parents wanted - those were things they wished for me, they were what they’ve dreamed about for the last two decades. I didn’t hate them for that. I never would, because I know, I became, and still will become someone because of how things were.

But everything changed after that. I decided to work away from them only because I wanted to learn how to become an independent person - the REAL one. I accepted a job that is miles away from them for me to experience what its really like to be doing things for myself. I chose to leave them behind, and do things my own way.

Unfortunately, it all happened so sudden, that there was no room for thinking about things thoroughly. Decisions had to be made right then and there, or I would lose a very big opportunity, career-wise. So I didn’t have time to prepare and plan on my would-be life. I was left with only one option - that is to be “not-so-independent” (that was to live with some relative).

At first, I thought it would be the better option for me, since I was only given a day to pack my things and report to the office the day after. It was easier at first, since I only had to do SOME chores. I tried to help whenever I can. I did things, just so they won’t say anything against me. I followed what they wanted, to think they’re not even my parents. Months have passed. There were flaws every once in a while, but I kept them to myself, only because I didn’t want anyone to be affected (except for my boyfriend who knows every single thing that has happened because he’s the only one who I can talk who is not that much directly involved - just because he doesn’t know them in person).

Unfortunately, things got even more rough. Things have become very difficult. So I decided that I want to transfer. It would be not as easy as I may want to, but it’s far better than having them around. I had to undergo not-so-good situations, discussions, and confrontations. But I just took everything in just for my plan to push-through. It already is. Tomorrow will already be a new day.
Well, I thought everything will already be sailing smoothly. I was wrong. Here comes another glitch. My dream of finally being really independent is not coming true. For the past few days, my parents have somehow decided to monitor each and every move I make. They want me do things which I prefer not to. They want me to say things which isn’t the perfect time yet, according to my judgment. They text and call me every now and then, following-up on whether I did what they wanted me to do. It’s not that I am being disrespectful. But I am perfectly aware that I am already old enough to know what to do and what not to, what to say and when to say it. It’s not that I’m disregarding them as part of my life, but I want to decide for myself. If they won’t let me do things my way now, when will I be able to learn to live without them? When will I start to learn how to walk on my own feet?

For 20 long years, I have followed what they wanted. I know they care about me, but shouldn’t they realize that unless they give me full control over myself, I will always be like a child, unable to face the world without them, who will always rely on them? Now I’m starting to wish, that there be such thing as emancipation in here. I don’t want to grow old depending on them every now and then. I want to prove to myself that I can. I want to prove that they’ve thought me all the things I needed to survive in the real world. And they’ve given me the necessary advices on how I will overcome every situation. But I guess they’ll never understand that. Unlucky me, because they will always fight for what they know, which they believe is the best for me…BUT IT’S NOT. As the saying goes, “Parents say its talking back, we say its merely explaining why they are wrong.”

Fairytales

This was something I read in a newspaper article..it made me cry, which was uncalled for I think, but hey, I guess every girl really wants her own fairytale with a happy-ever-after ending…


“There is a part of every little girl’s heart that envisions her prince charming. At age three, it is usually of a man who can save her from the wrath of an evil stepmother, wake her from eternal slumber or give her that true love’s kiss.

In elementary school, he becomes the boy with the least cooties, the one who’s willing to cross the playground to share his Oreos even if it makes him a target for the week of all the other boys.

Come high school, it’s that boy you stand with at prom, who your father stared down at the door, who provided you with an experience complete with photos you will cringe at a decade later, a corsage that yellows in the refrigerator, and a faded memory of a night that seemed almost too magical to be real.

Nineteen years into this life, however, and still unwilling to give my heart away, I am still that same little girl who hopes for her prince charming. And although I wonder why it has taken you this long to sweep me off my feet and whisk me off to your palace on horseback, I know that it is probably because meeting you will be better than any fairytale I could’ve read as a kid.


However, I can’t promise you that I’d make the world’s most perfect princess. In fact I’ll probably keep you on your toes and amuse you with my eccentricities—there are a lot of them. I’ll probably steal a bunch of your T-shirts and turn them into shirt dresses, or drive you slightly mad with my obsessive compulsivity and my need to fix your collar constantly.

I can promise to be your best friend however—that person you can rant to after a rough day, the hand you can hold when you get sad, or the person you can text when situations get awkward.

I’ll probably mess up your hair sometimes and hug you for too long, but that’ll only be because I absolutely adore you. I’ll bury my head in your shoulder during scary movies and make you feel like superman when you kill those flying cockroaches that really shouldn’t exist. I’ll cook your favorite food on your birthday and try my best to make friends with your mom.

I’ll respect your nights-out with the boys and make you seem like the perfect guy to my barkada. I’ll watch basketball or soccer games with you, and not complain when you cheer too loudly at the TV set.

I’ll know the difference between giving you space and being constantly there for you—even if it means sitting and playing video games with you or taking hot chocolate runs when it rains.

I’ll listen to your music and we’ll go on epic adventures together—seeing the world, taking awesome pictures, eating awesome food, and never running out of things to tell each other along the way.

I won’t be waiting for you to sweep me off my feet and take me on a magic carpet ride, because I know I won’t need anything like that to fall for you—I will love you for you.

You will be that someone to make goofy faces with in pictures, to lace fingers with when I’m lonely, and to take long walks under the stars with on the beach.

You’ll be the guy who takes me the way I am—and will laugh as I burst into Disney song or pick out pink wallpaper.

You’ll be that someone I envision a future with—us filling out visa forms as we travel the universe, picking out our first dog together and arguing about what to name it, or being snap-happy stage parents in our preschooler’s annual mini-plays. And I keep hoping that maybe someday when we find each other, you will become that someone whose smile I wake up to in the morning and the last one I speak to every night.

…Please know that I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

…With the hope I will be yours for always.”
"The best feeling in the world is to know that you are loved and that you are secured…secured in a way no matter what, as long as you both shall live, his attention and his love will always be yours…only yours……"
