Pseudo

I remember an advice I gave someone before. I asked him if it was really love that he was feeling for someone or has he just fallen in love with the idea of loving that someone. Too many of us mistake the feelings we have towards a person as love. We easily jump to the conclusion that indeed we have fallen for that person. We sometimes neglect to re-examine our feelings to trace where it's coming from.

I remember telling him that in my opinion, what he was feeling was not love, at least not yet. I acknowledge that he indeed have strong feelings towards that person, but i think not enough to call it "love." 

Strong feelings. At that time, it was easy for me to say it. It was easy to give an advice without even understanding how he must have felt.

But now I somewhat get the idea of strong feelings. There's that attraction you feel with out having an explanation. For me, it's the butterflies I feel in my stomach when I am having a conversation with him. It's also the smile that I can't get rid of when I think about him. And the sadness I feel when I realize that he's not mine.

However, before I even get swallowed up with my strong feelings, I try to snap back and remind myself that nothing will come out of it. It's pointless to nurture those feelings and let it flourish. I should just believe in the saying that emotions are fleeting, and this shall also pass.

    - Do you know how wonderful to fall in love? Do you know how exciting it is? the adrenalin rush of falling? for me ah nobody has the right to say that falling in love is pointless. "yeah you bleed just to know you're alive" - Iris; Goo Goo Dolls

    Rus: yeah, I guess nobody has the right to say that falling in love is pointless to someone else. But it's ok to say it to yourself :D

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...

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. 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.

A Walk to Equanimity Spa

I was just feeling really tired that day. There was all sort of stress that came my way that week - coming from deadlines from school and from the chaos in the family. All I want was just to have a relaxing massage since it has been a week since my last one. It was just fitting to reward myself with a good old rub down to ease tension from my body and my mind. So that night, I decided that I would get a massage no matter what. The bus I rode from school dropped me off at Kamuning Road. I decided not to go to my suking massage place because the new attendants there were young and very much inexperienced, as far as massage technique is concerned. That night I wanted quality massage really worth paying money for. In Kamuning, I remember passing-by a number of spa before. So I walked the street from EDSA to scout the area and look for a good massage place. The first spa that I passed-by had a black brand (which name I could not remember). It seemed nice but the feeling I had made me w...
