The more time we spend with the wrong person means the less time we spend with the right one.
(Line from Lovers in Paris)


My thoughts:

How would you know if the one you are spending your time with is the wrong person?
It is only spending time with someone that you'll get to know that he's the right or wrong one.
What's worst is when you've spent long years thinking and feeling that a person is the right one but then, one day, you'll just come into a realization that he's the wrong person.

What if you can't spend your time with the right person because he is spending his time with the wrong one...
that both of you are the right ones for each other but both of you are spending your precious time with the wrong ones.
And you can't turn back time anymore... so you just stick with the wrong person than make yourself a fool in front of others.
That you are very cautious about what others say... 'coz the relationship has been going on for years, and even if he/she's the wrong one, you'll try so hard to make yourself believe that he/she's the right one.

Then after long years of being with that wrong person, you meet the right one. You try to control things and stick with the wrong person 'coz there's little time to spend with the right one. And you've been too accustomed living with the wrong person so you'll just accept him as he/she is.

So what's the happy ending? Spending time with the wrong person or with the right one.

The answer should have been spending time with the right one. In long lasting relationships, the contrary is true. Sometimes, the couple, though not the right ones for each other, live together happily ever after. Sad but true, people sometimes meet the right ones in their lives when they have already learned to accept the imperfections of the wrong one. And because men and women are responsible individuals with sense of morality, they stick with the wrong one, depriving themselves of real happiness with the right one. And in the legal point of view, an illegitimate child is born when a person meets the right person when he/she has already spent more time with the wrong one.

But I'm still inclined to believe that the happy ending is spending time with the right person...
against all odds... be with the right one...

Lesson: Make sure that the person you are with is the right one. It may be very difficult to know if he/she is the right one but try to do so. End an existing relationship if you have doubts on your mind that he/she is the right one. A doubt, no matter how small, should never be underestimated. It would make a lot of difference.

I searched on twitter and got this pic. I'll keep it... for memories...

I'm happy I have helped the victims of Ondoy in my own little way.

At about 1pm while I was reviewing crimpro, Pam texted and asked me whether I want to help as a volunteer. Charm told her that she's there at Roxas' headquarters doing volunteer work. Pam said na suspended daw ang class 'till saturday so we have more time to study for the revalida.

After a few minutes (after checking if I have something to wear, hehe), I decided to go. We left UST 3:30 pm and we arrived past 4:00. By the way, the relief operation is at Expo Centro, Araneta Center.

We packed goods such as rice, cloud 9, c2, unique toothpaste etc. There were lots of students (parang puro students nga eh). Some also volunteered on-site and distributed goods at Caloocan.

At about 7pm, we're done packing. Dinner was served afterwards.

It's good to see that the youth do something in times of crisis.

I pray na tumigil na yung ulan.

got to focus

got to be patient

got to learn more

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

I love this quote from Neil Gaiman. Ces told me about this yesterday morning while we are here at the library.

By the way, since yesterday, we started to go to school early, 9am. It's time to be a bit serious about studying... But we end up surfing the net... haha!

another profile description in fb which i'll change in a moment that's why i'm posting it here.

If facebook is the only thing that connects us, then every minute spent with it is not at all wasted time. ☺

Well, it can be facebook or friendster or myspace or twitter or any other networking sites in the net.

It's just so nice 'coz I connect with old friends and new ones through facebook.
