“You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate… It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves… You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and… What I’m trying to say, Tristan is… I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart… It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.” – Yvaine, Stardust.

Life can be so shitty at times but everyday I look forward to chitchats with 3 of the most puppy-lovesick girls I know. This week alone, I can’t contain the kilig!!!

Girl X is in a relationship with Boy X for the years! I was one of the 2 makulit sisses who paired them up. I’ve seen this couple evolve from college sweethearts, to LDR couple, to pseudo-life partners under a pseudo-single roof. I’ve spotted them in their Art of Doing Nothing mode. I’ve witnessed them argue, kiss-and-make-up afterwards (not in front of me.. hehe). I’ve seen (and heard way too many times) the one snore while the other bears with the noise (most of the times) uncomplaining. Today, Boy X called me because he’s on his way to his girl to surprise her on their 7^th anniversary with a dozen of red roses, and something more. : D  Girl X is not expecting at all. I wish I was there to witness the surprise but due to what-else, I couldn’t. At the very least, I’m sure I would never miss them tie the knot for anything in the world. After all, I’m gonna be their MOH! Teehee!

Girl Y and Boy Y are in a relationship for months but their story traces back from almost a decade ago when they were still in college. Girl Y likes Boy Y. Boy Y likes Girl Y but nothing happened. As early as eons ago, Girl Y was pretty convinced that Boy Y is something. But timing was not a friend and so Girl Y said, if it’s not the right time, it’s not the right thing. They parted lives and met alphabet boys and girls. Brought by some natural comedy, they became friends again then surprisingly constant buddies. Girl Y wouldn’t admit that she still likes Boy Y thinking it will be another futile pursuit but one uncategorized thing lead to another and they became a couple, only this time around, the timing couldn’t be better. Teehee!

Girl Z and Boy Z have been chasing circles for a year now (from what I can see). Girl Z just celebrated her birthday this week. Boy Z asked Girl X and Girl Y how to surprise Girl Z. Boy Z mentally tortured Girl Z and told her he won’t be there for the advance party but came by surprise with cake in his hands. Boy Z stayed for the film-showing fighting his sleepy tired self just to be there for Girl Z. On Girl Z’s birthday, Boy Z gave her a book and a blouse, was there for the birthday lunch and birthday dinner and birthday coffee and dessert afterwards. By Z spent a few more hours at Girl Y’s place. On his way out, Boy Y told Girl Y’s housemate, “Uwi ko na to ha” and carried Girl Y like how newly-weds do it. Teehee!

Afterthought: Girl X has the X factor among the 3 girls. Girl Y and Boy Y always ask Why. Girl Z and Boy Z are so cute when sleeping next to each other… ZZZ!

happy birthday jones

…to one girl who is my pangontra against dementors! 

…to the best choreographer person I know… ever.. in this world! hehe 

…to the closest I can get to free therapy

…to one of my uncomplaining sounding boards

…to one of the few people who can read me like a book (a good book that will keep you awake at that)

…to the lil girl who has seen me at my worst crying and at my best laughing (and sometimes still crying out of joy)

…to one of the kindest persons I know 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JONES! I owe you big time no amount of birthday surprises can express. (Plus the fact that I know that whatever we do will look pale in comparison to what Mr Ramsey will do.) Love you so much dear! 

the story of my recent life

“The story of my recent life. I like that phrase. It makes more sense than the story of my life, because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality–and in some cases, to do something after that realization.” - Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom

In the recent past, I have got to experience various lives. Happy and fulfilling various lives and here I am trying to put them into words so that someday, when I re-read these posts, I can smile and say, aha.. good thing I tried to put those in writing. Smiles will cross my face and the jolt of excitement that various exciting, worth-writing, worth-reminscing things have come to unfold in the fast pace of my twenty-something old life… almost all at the same time. Good times!!! Feelings of happiness as if it’s a piece of heaven made solely for you! THANK YOU LORD! I LOVE YOU!

I really can’t complain! 

The Story of MBA - done after 3.5 years! Now I gotta prepare for Compre on Feb! 

The Story of Ellue - One more item in my dreamboard checked - I finally have a MacbookPro! The name I coined because I was in LU when I got the good news.

The Story of LU - I lurve the place.. everything about the place. I think when I grow old and be one of the kick-ass multi-millionaires of my time (I know I will), I’ll get a beach house in the La Union, or Bohol, or Boracay… or one in each… or two… or in all three. : )

The Story of LEAN Program, which I think will be a career-molding change for me which can also be known as the Story of Junathan the mentor.

The Story of Us and how kismet happens.

So, did I say I can’t complain?! : )

back to blogosphere

Dear Blog,

I haven’t written much (i so heart to write again) and although I posted high five, I know that it was a far-cry incomparable to how I posted before. So now that I have time home, I will walk along memory lane and try to post away significant things I wanted  saved in this ‘pensieve’.

Bear with me, Myself 

Project 52

Or should have been Project 54 will be postponed til I’m 27! But I’ll post as much as I can from time to time..
