Before, I used to laugh at people who erase their former lovers or ex-gf/bf from their cellphone contacts and social networking sites. I think it's childish to do that. But now I realize that it's not childish, not even immature. I think they just want to forget - to forget everything about that person. they may not be angry or bitter but i think they just want to move on. I think they have decided that it would be easier and healthier if they lose contact with that person. And how would they move on if everyday that they check their facebook accounts, they see news feeds about that person. It's much painful that way. So they choose to rid of any connection and anything that may remind them of that person. 

So now, I say to those people who want to move on... go.. erase.. forget... let go... grow...

  1. Ako naman erase ko agad yun cellphone number niya. Di ko rin sinasaulo para madaling makalimutan at di na makontak pa mas madali maka move on pati na din mga fb nila ganyan

I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig...

SOML: Somebody that I Used to Know

Was there ever a time in your life when you first heard a song and felt that the song was written for you? That it might be your theme song for a certain moment or chapter in your life? Parang kiling me softly with his song lang ang peg.
