Intersection

What if we lived in a world that didn't face the global health crisis? Life could've been different. You see, we'd both continue to do our regular work or responsibilities in life. We'd be traveling around the world and continue to tick off our bucket lists. Or perhaps continue living this never-ending cycle of monotony? Maybe in that world, our lives will continue like parallel lines. There is synchronicity. There is a common denominator. The world might feel small, but just like parallel lines, they will never meet.

However, in our realm, everything turned upside down. I thought life would be such a huge mess, not just for me but for everyone else. The world momentarily stopped, and chaos ensued. There was panic. And for the first time, there was uncertainty. It was in these moments where plans didn't go accordingly. But, I just realized that unpredictability comes with excitement. The unplanned outcomes are can either make or break you.

The foxes led me to a fortunate stroke of serendipity. Through these creatures, I had the chance to meet you. I met someone who has a soul so pure, so passionate and dedicated, and so much zest in life. An exchange of simple salutations turned into long late-night conversations. I knew right after our first call there was something special in you.

Every day, I look forward to seeing your name on my phone's notification. I would feel gutted if I missed your calls because I was either at work or sleeping. We laugh at our weird jokes, and we eagerly listened to one another how our day transpired–even talking about the weather of our current cities would last for like an hour. It was too easy to have struck a conversation with you. It felt like I have known you for the longest time. Every day, you always remind me to keep pushing forward to achieve my dreams. You always inspire me to strive for excellence.

I just realized that in our world, there's always a curveball. Somehow, the once parallel lines we used to started to converge. At one point in our lives, we begin to intersect. It is a point where all of the synchronicity, serendipitous events, and coincidences happen. From there, we shall remain at the intersection point, never leaving again as individual lines.

Irrational Thoughts at 1 AM

I always think that I'm smart, rational, and organized. At work, I believe that I'm one of the most efficient employees, and I always strive for perfection. I have no problem with that. BUT, when it comes to love, I'm on the opposite spectrum.

Against The Tide

My dearest Super Pumpkin,

Maybe you will forget everything I have written here, but it doesn’t matter. Resting upon these pages are my truest feelings for you. I will leave my love for you so you might someday find it, when you’re moving to a better apartment, or when you start disposing old things from your drawer or cabinet, and so I may leave it behind me, so I may live again. Like the way, I used to live before.

Worth It

People who stood by your side no matter what the circumstances are worth keeping. Never, ever leave them. You might not know, you won't find another one who's willing to fight and protect you.

I have fallen a dozen times and fell on an endless pit where no one even tried to catch me. It hurt, but we just have to take the leap because that's what life is all about - to take risks. And when the right time comes, everything is going to be worth it. Worth the shot.

Two Less Lonely People In The World

Love is definitely one of the most complex things in the world. Biochemistry may have an explanation about its nature and how our physical body reacts to it, but no one completely understands it until you finally experienced it. Sometimes, it comes into your life when you least expect it.

Kita Kita (I See You) is not your ordinary rom-com movie. It is not about the sappy kind of love that we always see on prime time TV. It is all about the love that we've always wished - kind and unconditional. Having Empoy Marquez and Alessandra de Rossi play the leading roles of this movie already set it apart from others. Their unusual pairing was effective that it made me laugh and cry in some parts of the flick. Empoy's ordinary looks and Alessandra's blindness clearly sends a message that genuine love just happens spontaneously. What matters most is your heart and not your physical looks. There's this invisible yet strong energy that drives two souls to meet at some point in their lives. Sometimes, it can be painful, but it is still the most beautiful thing to experience. After all, life is all about taking chances.

The shooting location (Sapporo, Japan) and KZ Tandingan's heartfelt rendition of Air Supply's 'Two Less Lonely People in the World' truly enhanced the overall mood of the movie. I have never seen a Pinoy rom-com movie that is so straightforward, sincere, and poignant.

Definitely a must-watch! This is one of my most favorite Pinoy movies, and I wouldn't mind watching this over and over again.

Sipping A Cup Of Coffee On A February Night

I always told myself that I could stand on my own - that I do not need a partner in life, and that having my family and friends is already enough. I haven't had any serious romantic relationship to someone since birth. Some won't believe this. I myself can't believe that fact too! I am smart (ehem). I am nice (EHEM). And most of all, I am good looking (EHEEEMMMMMM). But kidding aside, I never see myself being with my special someone. Truth be told, I am afraid to be hurt again.


Despite the fact of being single since birth, I've had some 'ligawan' experiences (pardon for that ugly term LOL). But all of them weren't successful - friendzoned in today's language, so to speak. Because of those failed "dream-relationship-in-the-making" process, I grew bitter. I grew hating the month of February. I always hate watching couples being so sweet and mushy especially on public places. If I were as insane as Bane (lol rhyming), I would have killed thousands of couples already. 

February will forever remind me that being friendzoned is the worst feeling ever... next to being slaughtered by your college professors. It's emotionally heavy and I will forever carry it. For me, it's hard to move on even if it happened several years ago.

Okay, I guess it's about time to move on and live a happy life.

Happy single awareness month y'all!

Because I'm an avid fan of Patty Laurel

I have been an avid fan of Patty Laurel since 2007. One cold morning of May 2007, I was browsing some random blogs when all of the sudden, I landed on Patty’s blog. Her blog's tagline was: Come, waste your time with me. What a catchy tagline. I didn't know that she was a celebrity back then (it was later when I found out that she was the host of Breakfast Club, a defunct morning news show of Studio 23). All I know was, she had a cool blog and I got glued by her posts. Her posts were funny and wittily written (aside from the fact that she's pretty).

Since that day, I’d always read her blog. Even if she didn’t update it on a daily basis (or weekly basis), I’d still reread some of her posts. She is actually one my inspirations in blogging. She even replied to some of my comments and most recently, some of my tweets. *blush*

Heh. Fanboi on the loose.

Celebrating Single Awareness Month

February always reminds me (and hopefully not 'will forever remind me') that I am [still] single. I'm turning 22 this year and I haven't had any serious relationships EVER. As in, SSB - single since birth. As in, NGSB - No gelpren sins bert.

Just recently, a lot of my Facebook friends posted something about Valentine's Day, also notoriously known as SAD - Single Awareness Day. It goes something like this:

Strange Past

It will be always really awkward whenever you bumped to a person who used to be your lover. It's been five years. Both of you were young when you first met. It was high school. It all started with a simple tease by your classmates.

Then, the rest was history.

Ironically, you seemed to be uncomfortable with her despite the fact that you didn't have any forms of communications for the past five years. The approach was cold. Very cold. It is as if you don't know her. Apparently she doesn't know you either.

And the cycle of life goes on and on. Both of you started as strangers. Soon, you become friends. Then, the relationship blossomed and both you entered a romantic relationship. Everything went well until something messed up. Both of you fought constantly.

It was a bitter ending.

Five years had passed and once again both of act as if you don't know each other. It was pretty obvious. Both of you can't move on.

Can't move on.

Can't fucking move on.

Jeux d’enfants (Love Me If You Dare)

Well, thanks to YouTube (and Chin-chin's almighty convincing powers), I decided to watch this French flick instead of reviewing for my long exams.

Jeux d’enfants (Love Me If You Dare) is a love story between childhood friends Julien and Sophie. Everyday, they think that life is just full of dares and games, thanks to the magical tin can toy (whatever you call that truth-or-dare game). Although they act impishly in school and home, they still enjoy the company of each other. As they grew up into young adults, Sophie realized that she was already in love with her best friend, Julien, though the problem is, Julienne acts as if he’s still eight years old. But eventually, the feeling was mutual and they fell in love with each other.

What I really admire on this movie is the story. Actually I thought it was a dreary and cheesy romance film but as I progressed on to the movie, I fell in love with it. The movie portrays lots of adventures, misadventures, funny moments, tears and etcetera. Also, the flick suggests love in an indirect manner. Unlike some ordinary romance movies which portray love unswervingly, Jeux d’enfants showcases love in a surrealistic approach. It’s like constructing a sentence with a splash of figures of speech, metaphor and hyperbole to be exact. Some scenes where undeniably impossible to exist in real life but the emphasis is really there.

This flick elucidates the meaning of true and unconditional love. The feeling is irrevocable. The ending was really, REALLY touching I tell you. So if you want to feel that you’re in love (again or for the first time), I guarantee you, yes YOU to watch this French flick.

Game or not? Cap u pa cap? ;)

Got this from YouTube. Let Go - Imogen Heap with scenes from Jeux d'enfants. I just posted this video so you'll have an idea about it. :)

Unconditional Love

Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment.

You have your work, entertainment and friends.

I have only YOU.
