After the unexpected success of my bestfriend theory, I now shall reveal a theory i've been contemplating on for quite sometime. Now that i'm 21, I'm an official nonbeliever of soulmates, of fate as the ultimate determinant of one's future and of love at first sight. In the past, i had a firm stand that i will not settle for anything less than mutual love. But now that im older and hopefully, wiser.. i believe that falling in love is just a matter of timing. A matter of persuasion and of weighing your options. These are the possible stages.
1. PWEDE Stage: This level is that first moment that one rests his/her eyes on another. Kumbaga sa Takeshi's Castle, ito un pinakamadali pero critical na stage. I suggest that one should have an open mind 'bout the possibilities. Yeah, i do believe that attraction, specifically physical, is a very persuasive trait, but we must also remeber that "Familiarity" extinguishes any trace of ugliness. Aminin nyo, meron kayong mga friends ngayon na nung unga nyons nakita ay napangitan kayo,pero dahil lagi mo kasama, you have come to a reformation (or in your friend's case, a transformation). He's not that ugly after all. Harsh na kung harsh but...
2. Magisip-isip Stage: Assuming that everyone's PWEDE in the first level, we have our own non-negotiables. For example, mine will be language proficiency in ENglish. Some think that they have quite a number of non-negotiables but in reality, the normal number'll be with a max of 3. Yeah, some dont have non-negotiables. During this stage, love isnt really there yet, what we have are KILIG moments.
3. I Dont Think So Stage: This is where we do a lot of thinking. This is the Devil's Advocate stage, you start analyzing what you don't like about the person. Di mo gusto un hair nya, di mo gusto na he doesnt take you seriously, di mo gusto un cologne nya. YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS STAGE! This is where most of the spinsters get stuck in.
4. Looking at the Brighter Side Stage: This is where you start coming up with the positive traits that will offset the negative traits that you noticed in the preceding stage. Magulo nga un hair nya pero you love the feel of your hands on his hair... Mejo wala siya sense of fashion pero you love his eyes, his smile, his ideas....
5. The Bahala Na / Ewan Stage: This is the "passive" part of the process. The "nakakasawa" stage when the spark seems to have gone out the window. Nagkakatamaran na. It is very important that you guys are now constantly dating or at least spending time with each other because it will lead you to the most romantic and magical stage of all stages...
6. Can This Be Love Stage: The idea of going into a relationship is just all of a sudden too irresistible. This is where the "fishing for commitment" conversations begin to be rampant. Un mga usapan tungkol sa nakakasawang paghihintay sa tunay na pag-ibig, un mga "i love it when you're around" lines na ang naririnig... This is where you'll find yourself daydreaming about your "future" as a couple. If after this stage you guys are still arent sure, then you're off to a hopeless journey.
7. May Iba pa Naman Stage: This is where the end of your "what seemed to be" budding romance is coming to a bittersweet end. You're beginning to notice the new cute guy in Starbs, of the yummy guy sa Library... Your usually inhabited mind with thoughts of him/her is distracted by other men/ women.
8. Paalam na Stage: Need i say more?
At any stage in the process, you may decide to get committed and from these MAIN STAGES a new set of stages may emerge. And just like my BESTFRIEND THEORY, it is a cycle... until you find that someone who will break the cycle with you. =)
BLUE is the COLOR of the DAY.
INKBLOTS
My hands are marked, not
by traces of your touch
but by blots of ink
that magically found
their way to my now cold
hands.
(written in memory of you who made me smile)
-----------------
Hey YOU,
I was waiting. You chose to be distant. This is the bad part of our "mystery", we cant compel each other to be near. I think i'm officially beginning to like you, despite and inspite of. I dunno how to assure you that i dont look at anyone the way i look at you,i dont even know why i want you to know that. But how can i assure myself that it's ok when it'll turn out that you're not interested in looking at me the way I want you to look at me? There's really no assurance in this game that we're in. Except for the fact that you wont be able to read this, and tomorrow, it'll be a cold cold day again for me.

Kiboy: Naniniwala ka ba sa soulmates?
Eunice: Hindi.
Kiboy: Bakit?
Eunice: Hindi na eh.
Kiboy: Nakakalungkot naman un.
(sabay nag-magic ala David Blaine, ayos!)
-----------------
ANa: Mukhang masama na ang timpla ng isang tao a.
Eunice: Should i feel guilty?
Ana: Wala pa nga kayo.
Eunice: I feel guilty.
-----------------
What will i interpret when nothing's executed?
Drapes are drawn, but the lights are on.
There is no way to peace, peace is the way.
My hands are marked, not
by traces of your touch
but by blots of ink

Mixed Signals.
Annamitzie and i are going through the same dilemma... Are they interested or not? Are we just friends or more? Ayoko talaga nitong stage na ito. Gusto ko malinaw ang lahat. Isang malaking trauma sa akin ang mga anino ng nakaraan na humahabol sa akin. Argh.
Di ko alam kung bakit ganito un feeling ko. Naiisip ko tuloy, baka bobo talaga ako, akala ko lang matalino ako. Nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa na i can still make it to next sem. Kagabi, nandun lang ako sa room ko, iniimagine ko na natanggal na ako sa law school, tapos naiyak na lang ako basta. Mixed signals. Gusto ko sa law school pero parang ayaw ng law school sa akin.
Bakit ambilis naman bawiin un kasiyahan? Ok na sana un recit grades ko sa Stat Con, sabay un midterms ko sablay. Un Leg Res, di ako nangopya. Ayun. malamang ako ang lowest dun. Masaya nag-umpisa itong araw na ito eh, natawag ako sa Consti, nakasagot naman ako. Pero muntik na syang natapos na depressed ako ng sobra. Muntik. Magulo talaga.
Buti na lang nakausap ko ang aking mga minamahal na katuwang sa law school. Sabi nga ni Sannet, dapat meron kaming naka-sched na one hour na iiyak lang kami. Tapos napag-usapan namin bigla na nahihirapan ako umiyak sa harap ng maraming tao, kaya di ako pwedeng maging artista tapos si Sannet di raw maganda un ngiti nya kaya di sya pwede mag-model. Un kay Shem un pinaka-OP sa mga naisip namin na propesyon, sabi nya di raw sya pwede maging doktor kasi takot sya sa dugo. Ngii. Ayun na. Sobrang gulo.
Di talaga dapat ako kakain. Kasi uhmm, tinatamad ako. Pero isang mapilit na nilalang si Jots. Actually di naman mapilit, nakakaguilty lang na "nalipasan" na raw sya ng gutom. Eh since i needed to take my mind away from law school kahit for a few minutes, ayun sumama na rin ako. So kumain kami kasama si Dara sa KFC. Taga-taguig din pala si Dara, at least may nakakarelate na sa mga Taguig kwentos ko. Ok naman, ang mali lang, suot ko un aking ULTIMATE TARAY shoes, therefore... BLISTERS ang katapat. Pagdating ko sa KFC i was sweating like hell, dyahe. Kasi naman mag all black eh. Pag labas namin, umuulan. Great, just great. Pero i enjoyed it naman. Kahit na ang dugyot ko na pagbalik ng Starbs. hehe. At hanggang ngayon ay masakit ang mga paltos.
Pagbalik ng Starbs, nandun pa sila Ana, Kiboy at Melo.. "Aral" time. Nadamay pa sa aral time itong si Jots. Kaya im wishin him goodluck (again) para sa kanyang exam later. Isang malaking malaking SALAMAT .. for the UP stickers, the Ride at ang iyong pang-aaliw nung inabandona na tayo ni Ana. Wag kang mawalan ng pag-asa sa "PAGHIHINTAY", dadating din un. (winks)
Di naman ako nalulungkot na ng sobra as of the moment, lalo na't kakapanood ko lang ng Love Actually. Pero napapaisip parin ako kung ano na mangyayari sa akin in the near future. Di ko na yata kaya.

Ang Pagsusulat Habang Nanonood ng Love Actually.
Prime Minister: Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
Sam: But you know the thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end.
Daniel: Tell her that you love her. You've got nothing to lose, and you'll always regret it if you don't.
Juliet: We've never got friendly. I just wanted to say I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am, apart from my terrible taste in pie. And it would be great if we could be friends.
Karl: Life is full of interruptions and complications.
Mia: I'll just be hanging round the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed.
[shows pictures of beautiful supermodels]
Mark: But for now, let me say - Without hope or agenda - Just because it's Christmas - And at Christmas you tell the truth - To me, you are perfect - And my wasted heart will love you - Until you look like this
[picture of a mummy]
Daniel: So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school - are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam: You really want to know?
Daniel: I really want to know.
Sam: Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?
Daniel: Even if that's the case, yeah.
Sam: OK. The truth is actually... I'm in love.
Daniel: Sorry?
Sam: I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Daniel: Aren't you a bit young to be in love?
Sam: No.
Daniel: Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.
Sam: Why?
Daniel: Well, you know - I thought it might be something worse.
Sam: [incredulous] Worse than the total agony of being in love?
Daniel: Oh. No, you're right. Yeah, total agony.
Harry: Tell me, exactly, how long it is that you've been working here?
Sarah: Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what, two hours?
Harry: And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
Sarah: Ahm, two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and thirty minutes.
Harry: I thought as much.
Sarah: Do you think everybody knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Do you think Karl knows?
Harry: Yes.
Sarah: Oh that is bad news.
Harry: Well I just thought maybe the time had come to do something about it.
Sarah: Like what?
Harry: Invite him out for a drink and then after about twenty minutes casually drop into the conversation the fact that you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
Sarah: You know that?
Harry: Yes. And so does Karl. Think about it. For all our sakes. It's Christmas.
Sarah: Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss.
[talking about Peter]
Sarah: Do you love him?
Mark: What?
Sarah: I just thought I'd ask the blunt question.
Billy Mack: When I was young, I was greedy and foolish, and now I'm left with no one. Wrinkled and alone.
Karen: So what's this big news, then?
Daisy: [excited] We've been given our parts in the nativity play. And I'm the lobster.
Karen: The lobster?
Daisy: Yeah!
Karen: In the nativity play?
Daisy: [beaming] Yeah, *first* lobster.
Karen: There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?
Daisy: Duh.
Press Conference Reporter: Mr. President, has it been a good visit?
The President: Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for and our special relationship is still very special.
Press Conference Reporter: Prime Minister?
Prime Minister: I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.
[Natalie, a secretary, is greeting the Prime Minister]
Natalie: Hello, David. I mean "sir". Shit, I can't believe I've just said that. Oh, and now I've gone and said "shit" - twice. I'm so sorry, sir.
Prime Minister: It's fine, it's fine. You could've said "fuck", and then we'd have been in real trouble.
Natalie: Thank you, sir. I did have an awful premonition that I was going to fuck up on the first day. Oh, piss-it!
Jamie: It's my favorite time of day, driving you.
Aurelia: [in Portuguese] It is the saddest part of my day, leaving you.
Daniel: All right, we can definitely crack this. I was a kid once too, remember. Now, it's someone at school?
Sam: Yes.
Daniel: Good, good. And how does she… or he… feel about you?
Sam: *She* doesn't even know my name. And even if she did, she'd despise me. She's the coolest girl in school and everyone worships her because she's heaven.
Daniel: Hmmm...
[sits on the couch next to Sam]
Daniel: Well...
[grins]
Daniel: Basically, you're fucked, aren't you?
Sam: Let us go get the shit kicked out of us by love.
[after walking into 10 Downing Street for the first time and falling in love with a member of the domestic staff]
Prime Minister: Oh, no. That is so inconvenient.
[having just been exposed kissing Natalie on a school stage during a student concert in front of hundreds of children and parents]
Prime Minister: Right. So, not quite as secret as we'd hoped.
Natalie: Right. What should we do?
Prime Minister: Smile. Give a little bow. Wave.
The President: I'll give you anything you ask for - as long as it's not something I don't want to give.
[to his girlfriend]
Jamie: I love you even when you're sick and look disgusting.
Prime Minister: I'm not so sure politics and dating really go together.
The President: Really? I never found that.
Prime Minister: Yes, well, the difference is that you're sickeningly handsome whereas I look increasingly like my Aunt Mildred.
[at his wife's funeral]
Daniel: Jo and I had a lot of time to prepare for this moment. Some of her requests - for instance, that I should bring Claudia Schiffer as my date to the funeral - I am confident she expected me to ignore.
Jamie: [In Portuguese] Good evening.
Mr. Barros: Yes?
Jamie: I am here to ask your daughter for her hands in marriage.
Mr. Barros: You want to marry my daughter?
Jamie: Yes.
Mr. Barros: [to someone in the back of the house] Come here, there is a man at the door. He wants to marry you.
Sophia Barros: [a large and confused women emerges] But I've never seen him before.
Mr. Barros: Who cares?
Sophia Barros: You're going to sell me to a complete stranger?
Mr. Barros: Sell? Who said 'sell'? I'll pay him.
Jamie: Pardon me. I'm meaning your other daughter - Aurelia.
[deleted scene; Daniel and Sam are discussing Sam's true love]
Daniel: Option One: ask her out.
Sam: Impossible.
Daniel: Fair enough. Option Two: become her friend.
Sam: She's the most popular girl in school and she hates boys.
Daniel: Okay. Option Three: kidnap her and keep her tied up in your room until she agrees to marry you.
Sam: It's a route I've considered.
Daniel: And quite rightly rejected on the grounds of...
Sam: Hygiene.
Sam: Daniel, I have a plan!
Daniel: Thank the Lord! Tell me.
Sam: Well, girls love musicians, don't they?
Daniel: Uh-huh.
Sam: Even the really weird ones get girlfriends.
Daniel: That's right. Meatloaf definitely got laid at least once. For God's sake, Ringo Starr married a Bond girl!
Sam: [looks at him strangely] Whatever.
Sam: There's a big concert at the end of the term, and Joanna's going to be in it. I thought, if I was in the concert, and played really, really well, there's a chance she might fall in love with me. What do you think?
Daniel: I think it's brilliant! It's stellar! Uh, apart from the one little, obvious, tiny, little baby hiccup...
Sam: That I don't play a musical instrument.
Daniel: Yessir.
Sam: A tiny, insignificant detail.
Daniel: [knocks on Sam's door] Sam, time for dinner.
Sam: I'm not hungry.
Daniel: Sam... I've done chicken kebabs!
Sam: Didn't you see the sign on the door?
[he starts practising his drums; Daniel leans back and sees the sign, which says, "I SAID - I'M NOT HUNGRY"]
Daniel: Okay...
Daniel: You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.
Sam: There was for Kate and Leo. There was for you. There is for me.
[holds up one finger]
Sam: She's "the one".
Daniel: Fair enough.
Sam: But you know the thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end.
Daniel: Tell her that you love her. You've got nothing to lose, and you'll always regret it if you don't.
Juliet: We've never got friendly. I just wanted to say I hope that can change. I'm nice, I really am, apart from my terrible taste in pie. And it would be great if we could be friends.

Daniel: [knocks on Sam's door] Sam, time for dinner.
Sam: I'm not hungry.
Daniel: Sam... I've done chicken kebabs!
Sam: Didn't you see the sign on the door?
[he starts practising his drums; Daniel leans back and sees the sign, which says, "I SAID - I'M NOT HUNGRY"]
Daniel: Okay...
Daniel: You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.
Sam: There was for Kate and Leo. There was for you. There is for me.
[holds up one finger]
Sam: She's "the one".
Daniel: Fair enough.
Ang Haha at Hehe. Bow!
Dati pa ko napapaisip kung ano nga ba ang pinagkaiba ng Haha at hehe. Kasi pag nagcha-chat may mga moments na haha ang feel ko sabihin, minsan hehe. Ngayon ko lang napinpoint.
Sa tingin ko, ang hehe ay half-hearted lang na pagtawa. Parang kumbaga, isang nicer rendition ng "Ngii" o kaya "Drop it" o kaya... "Buti-na-lang-friend-kita-kundi-di-ko-talaga-ittry-na-iconceal-ang-kakornihan-mo" paano ko napagdesisyunan ito? Kasi ito lang, may narinig ka na ba na tao na natural na tumatawa ng HEHEHEHEHE? Imagine, parang ang sarcastic diba?
Ang haha may iba-ibang meaning din. Pag haha lang parang uhmm, "nakakapagod-kang-kausap-pero-sige-aliw-naman-pero-next-time-na-lang-ulit"... o kaya.. Haha.. nakakatawa. hindi un sinasabi mo, pero ikaw nakakatawa. err, nakakatuwa.
Pag hahahahahahaha.. ayun. totoong natatawa na. kasi ganun ako eh, nage-exert ako ng effort na damihan pag laughtrip talaga.
Ewan ko ba, alrighty Eunice. Hehe na.

Bakit di ka nag-aaral e alam mo naman na dapat nag-aaral ka?
Bakit ka online e alam mo naman na may mas importante ka dapat gawin?
Bakit ka nanginginig sa kaba e nasa harap ka lang naman ng PC at wala naman nakakakita sa lahat ng mga bagay, lahat ng mga emosyon at lahat ng mga pagtaas ng kilay na ginagawa mo habang sinusulat mo ito?
Bakit ang dami mo tanong? Bakit walang sumasagot?
Bakit tuloy tuloy lang ang pagt-type mo e wala ka naman sasabihin?
Bakit sa tingin mo ay nawawalan na ng magandang katapusan ang storya na akala mo ay ikaw ang lumikha?
Bakit nararamdaman mo na mayamaya lang ay iiyak ka nanaman kahit na meron ka mga pabugso-bugsong kasiyahan na nararamdaman?
Bakit ba ginawa ang salitang bakit kung di naman masusundan agad ng dahil?
Bakit di mo aminin na nalilito ka na?
Bakit di ka na lang tumigil at ipaalala sa sarili mo na napagdaanan mo na ito?
Bakit kelangan mangyari nanaman lahat tulad ng dati?
Bakit masyado na predictable ang buhay ko?
Bakit di ako makawala sa sirkulo na ito?
Bakit ang bakit di pwedeng maging OO na lang. o kaya HINDI na lang. O kaya WALA lang.

The Annuncation
by J. Neil C. Garcia
Morning, or early dusk. That line where things
leave their borders, dissolve into darkness
and light.
She is only a girl. She finds herself
lost inside the temple his words hollow
into the cooler side of day.
Her voice inside it croons like distant thunder.
And what it says is, Come in.
She is surprised at her candor, the force
of her own little-known conviction.
He tells her she is chosen,
in this way he raises her
above the mortal, gives her
an awesome gift, leaves her little room
for doubt, or for pleasure. She is, to be honest,
struck dumb with terror,
which she recognizes is also a form of religious assent.
What does it mean, after all,
the Yes she mutters above the angel’s bright call?
She is young, her life has yet to happen
in any real sense.
In the meantime the warmth of his eyes becomes
the warmth of her own prone body,
spreading from the tips of his voice
to her inmost skin.
What does it mean to be told God loves you,
at the same time he takes your childhood away?

I'm gonna love you more than anyone
I'm gonna hold you closer than before
And when I kiss your soul, your body be free, I'll be free for you anytime
I'm gonna love you more than anyone
Look in my eyes
What do you see
Not just the color
Look inside of me
Tell me your need and I will try
I will try
chorus
Free for you whenever you need
We'll be free together baby, free together baby

Dilemma (aww. No matter what i do, all i think about is you..)
Makulit ako.. i asked pa a few more people about my dilemma.
Amitzie: hmmm, he's trying to be vague.. giving you two thoughts to ponder on. its either he's saying "i like you, but im taking it slow so as not to scare you away" or he's saying, "i just wanna thank you. I hope you're not thinking of having our kids." hmm, but at least, of all people sa yo nya napiling magpakita ng feminine side nya. if you prove to be worthy of his kamotmotan, maybe, just maybe, you'll get to move a step forward. hmmm,tough... its so hard what to make out of him. Story of our lives. MIXED SIGNALS.
Francis: in general it could be that he's bein too comfy that he doesnt see you as someone he wants to be romantically involved with, or he's looking for a girl who doesn't mind him going out with other girls while he's in the relationship... ( so i asked, even if a started it?) well, if you started it, then that changes everything... its actually good when that happens, it means he wants to start clean...
Nalin: the problem is.. when do you take the leap? and who will initiate it?
Anton: cant speak in general kc everone's different naman... pero for me, thats a good sign na im comfortable enough with the girl that even though i like her, i can open up to her without being afraid that she'll complain/be jealous.
Donald: ewan ko..basta ako kung may gusto ako sa babae, chances are hinde ako mgkukwento ng tungkol sa ex ko kung mero man, unless ipapakwento nya..
This is beginning to be interesting.. Welcome to my talk show.. The Phantom of the Oprah! hehehe.
