Yaya Says

For a week or two now, I've been having a slight dilemma with uuugh...someone. But perhaps, it's not such a dilemma at all looking back today.

Anyway, a few days back..or a week, I suppose? I have dreaded the idea of it. Eyes are worn out and black were circling around visibly around them. And I found myself singing to some eye-rolling tunes and I found myself grinning like a total moron again. Oh come on girls, you know the symptoms, you know the drill.

So anyway.. it just so happens that I found out that this idiotic, pathetic, good-for-nothing 'uuugh someone' has also got a lot of someones. Hmmm. What kind of stomach does he have?



So I was sitting by the piano one late night and our new helper was clearing away the things around the living room. She's nice and I like her - she's the typical chatty, friendly all smiles you could ask for - and she has good vibes with her all the time.

She asked what was wrong.

I told her it was nothing of importance.

She asked again.

I told her I'm alright.

She asked again. (She doesn't get tired, you see)

So I said it's about this idiotic, pathetic, stupid 'uuugh someone'.

She laughed at me and then suddenly out of the blue, hugged me. I was surprised. She told me incredibly something I always heard of but barely really cared for.



"Alam mo.. Kahit saan ka magpunta, ano man relationship meron ka, ilang years pa yan.. Kahit saan ka magpunta hindi sila mawawalan ng 'someone else'. Lahat ay may someone else, tandaan mo yan. Wag kang malungkot, normal yun. Oo, may love.. pero hindi mo pa nakikita. Hindi dahil may someone else sya eh abnormal na un.. Normal yun. Lalake sila - lahat sila may someone else ng someone else. Seryoso man o hindi. Wag kang malungkot. Makikita mo din sya, pagdating nung time na un.. makikita mo na hindi mo dapat iniyakan lahat ng dati dahil kaya ka nila iniwan ay dahil sa tamang someone else na para sayo. Hayaan mo sya, hayaan mo sila. Bakit ba? Normal na marami silang gusto, bakit ikaw din naman madami kang crush dba? Normal lang un. Hayaan mo lang. Pag may nagmamahal sayo, babalik sya o makikita mo din sya. May asawa man o wala, meron sila parating someone else.. Pero pag para sayo, magiging sayo."





Then she cleared away my bag and bid me goodnight like it was the most normal thing to say in the world. I slept about 2 am after that. I could not help but wonder and think. And maybe, yaya is right.



I just want to live life. No complicated things. Nothing to complicate if you don't think too much. I just want to stop thinking sometimes - and I think we should also learn that.





I really love our new helper. She makes me smile and she's quite informative.





Well, whatever you say yaya.

Equaminity

I've been meaning to get out of town and getaway from everything for a couple of weeks now. You know, just to get away from the city and be somewhere new, somewhere refreshing - something far from the old and only with the new.

Holidays

My first Starbucks 2011-2012 Sticker. =)

Need to tell you more? Well, Christmas is here. And all the love is as well!!!!! I cannot wait for the holidays. The gift-giving, the meeting with friends from across town and the country, the dinners with your love ones, the shopping of gifts, creating cards for the holidays, the grocery shopping and all other things that this sweet season brings! I love Christmas. It's the best holiday ever. =) It's also the best shopping season.
Every year, I'd go after the SB planner. No matter how creative or fugly it looks, I still go after it. Kinda tradition. Even though I barely write on it and for where I buy another one and where I doodle everything out. Well, the holidays are here! Can't wait.

My uncle's birthday

Oh, the party was overwhelming. I could not remember having a good one in our side having this kind of party.

You'll Have It Back

I lost the previous. And after a long while, I luckily and suddenly found a new one at a bookstore unexpectedly. it will never really replace the first, but it would be something I know that is mine. At the store, the only one left piece. For me.

Over last halloween eve

It was quite a sleepover. It was half planned only but it was quite fun. I miss highschool days the more after this. And hey, here's a healthy breakfast!

We slept around 2 in the morning and we were still craving for some good food and beer. Too bad it lacked. But I learned a lot of things that night. One is that friends I have indeed matured in a lot of ways and second, you lose old friends because you are meant to have new and better ones.

Subway Dinner

I have not tried them till over that last weekend. It was a treat by my favourite uncle in the whole wide universe. It was a quick trip. We went off for church and then browse to a nearby bookstore and then off to a bite for some dinner. The dinner was quick but it was quite meaningful.

Sitting across this person who had meant a lot of deal to me meant a lot. He always inspired my work and he was always counted amongst the handful of people I seek advice for important matters and decisions. My uncle turned 52 just over the weekend and this dinner was something for me. No matter what he has gone through in life and how things had been for him, he would always be a dad and such a big inspiration for me. He was always the one who told me that college is not that important. He is a living evidence of that. He earns more than what some college graduates are earning this days.

It's all about talent and hardwork. And great passion for your work.
