People: My BFF

We're the type who doesn't always spend the wee hours of the day talking. We're the type who seldom text and/or call each other now especially that we're into different things. She takes her "BP device" with her at most times while I spend most of mine with my keyboard. We're hundreds of miles apart, but despite those things, she'll always be one of the few people I love the dearest. 

 Patient, kind-hearted, down to earth, genuine, and compassionate - things that makes this woman so loved by everybody. 

Happy Birthday, Yak! May you be gifted with life's biggest joys and never-ending bliss! With a friend like you, who cares and supports with such a vibrant zeal, you deserve all the best in life. Love yah! <3<3<3

C'est la Vie: I wonder

TWO PINK LINES What comes to your mind first when you hear about these words? Yeah right!  26 years of existence and I’ve heard so many stories about women getting pregnant, most of them are unplanned or/and unexpected. Pregnancy, or shall I say motherhood is never easy. Yeah, I have never been pregnant my whole life, but luckily I have friends who helped me understand and see how it is to become mothers. Personally, I think this is a scary responsibility. Carrying a baby in your womb for approximately 40 weeks is, again, never easy. You have to stop thinking about yourself and you should give importance to the creature inside you. A lot of things to be considered such as your food intake, vitamins, fluids, and so much more stuffs for healthy pregnancy. Not only that, you have to have emotional stability and peace of mind as well, especially those who, unfortunately have to carry the pregnancy by themselves. These, along with so many new things, don’t end on pregnancy alone. Of course, the more challenging things come when the baby comes out. I witnessed one friend when she had a hard time adjusting after she gave birth. I admired her though for her perseverance despite all the odds she has been through. One of my barkada just recently announced that she’s "pregnant". I didn’t know how to react at first since she just broke up with her dork boyfriend, but when I realized that she’s excited about it, I tried to calm myself and eventually felt happy about it. Gee! She’s gonna be a mommy in no time! I'm excited to see her baby bump, swollen nose, and huge legs! My favorite part? It's the thought that I'm gonna be a ninang.. again!

C'est la Vie: She's Getting By

Years have passed and she thinks she’s still stuck! She’s used to pretend that everything is alright. She has even convinced herself then, but hell, she was wrong!

It's been months since the last time they talked and she realized how much she loves talking to him. She sees things differently since she met him. She loves how he smiles at her. She told me how much she loves to hear him laugh. She daydreams about him off and on, replaying pieces of their conversation; laughing at corny things that he said or did. Funny, but she catches herself smiling again at those thoughts.

For once, she doesn't care! She never did! I kept telling her it won’t do any good, but I know she cherish every moment she has with him and I know that this is crazy!

In this weird twisted way, she hopes he misses her, not because she wants to believe it's true, but because he'll never find a woman that can put up with him like she did; he'll never find a woman who will care as much as she did. She has to let go before she does something stupid (again!). It’s sad, but she knows the only way out is to get through it.

She's sick of walking away (again!), but it left her no choice! She has to do it or else, she'll be very sorry. Things are way different now and she can’t stay this way forever. She’ll just have to accept the fact that people just come and go. Some you never think about. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are the few you wish you never had to think about again. 

One thing’s for sure. She learned that she should never settle for average. It's just as close to the bottom as it is to the top. As they said “it's better to cross a line & suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life”.
