TRUTH

[scenario: Ces and I are studying with all the passion we can ever have when suddenly, my phone vibrated and I, due to reflex, jolted and immediately tried to read the message.]

"Sometimes, someone can mean so much to you... that even the truth can't change your mind."
Sender: Ces

Ayun na. Wag lang di makapanggulo ang makapang-badtrip e no!

Pero may kirot talaga yang message na yan ha.

I Call It Love [Thanks Quioc for the Library Soundtrip]

I Call It Love lyrics
by Lionel Richie.

I Look At You
You Look At Me
(You Can't Help It You're Feeling Butterflies)
Its obvious,
We have Chemistry
(I think I know it cuz it feels so right)
Girl I wanted so long to know
Now Your telling me you gotta let it go
(Dont Tell Me I have to start all over again)
I Never thought that this day would come
(This is somthing that i've wanted in my life)
I relize that you're the one
(and you're telling me its time to say goodbye)
To Put this out of my heart It ain't gonna change
So it shouldn't be so easy to walk away
(You feel it I feel it lets not be tense)

(Chorus)
Baby, I Don't Know What Love Is
Maybe I'm A Fool
I Just Know What I'm Feeling
And It's All Because Of You
Don't Tell Me
I Don't Know
I Want The Truth
Cuz They Call It
We Call It
You Call It
I Call It Love

It's so clear for you to see
(dont let anybody tell you what to do)
Why they can't they just let us be happy
(i dont want to find somebody new)
If you know whats real in your heart
Then dont let them tear us apart
(Cuz you feel it I feel it Lets think this through)

(Chorus)
[ I Call It Love lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Baby, I Don't Know What Love Is
Maybe I'm A Fool
I Just Know What I'm Feeling
And It's All Because Of You
Don't Tell Me
I Don't Know
I Want The Truth
Cuz They Call It
We Call It
You Call It
I Call It Love

(Break)
We Have a bond thats unbreakable
And its not time to let it go
And now that we know its real
We are going to let it show
To the whole world
That I'm yours forever
and you're my girl

(Chorus)
Baby, I Don't Know What Love Is
Maybe I'm A Fool
I Just Know What I'm Feeling
And It's All Because Of You
Don't Tell Me
I Don't Know
I Want The Truth
Cuz They Call It
We Call It
You Call It
I Call It Love
(Repeat 2)

Love
They Call It Love
I Call it
Love

HOROSCOPE

Dear Eunice Zuleika,
Here is your couple's love horoscope
for Wednesday, July 25:

Why not make your wish come true if you have the means? You've been holding back because you thought sweetie might feel left out. Chances are, once you explain, they'll be thrilled that you have the opportunity.


Sometimes there's no fathoming human nature -- the good sides and the bad. You get glimpses at all parts of the spectrum. It just reminds you how fascinating and full of possibilities this world really is.

If you're not particularly inclined to go out on a romantic limb, trust your instincts and stay in your comfort zone. Of course, taking a friendly interest in others is always in order, and they'll reciprocate now.

I am Very Talented...

"Talent mo talaga yan no? You find unique ways to ruin beautiful things..."
-Japhet

Ok, that was a good one. Japhet dropped that line while we were drinking our hearts out at Pier One last Saturday along with Sam. I don't know if I should believe him, but I know that at the back of my mind, I have some history of ruining good things... but I guess it's part of growing up, of learning and of becoming a better person. In my entire existence, I have only asked two people out.. that again is contrary to popular belief that I am very liberated. I never did and will never regret what I did, maybe it's because when I did that, I was prepared to get hurt. It was like THE DEAD END. It was the make or break of everything. What may be deduced from it is that I am not a fan of cliffhangers.

Of course it's expected that I'd say it wasn't and isn't my attention to ruin great things or to pre-empt beautiful futures, it's just that I am not comfortable with the existence of issues in my life because I end up wasting my time thinking about them. I am a thinker, to the extreme sense of that word... I am capable of halting everything until I get the conclusion or the end of a story. I am not a fan of what if's, of what could've been's and of if only's because I want to be in control. After all, it's my happiness that is at stake here.

What's the point of this whole entry? This is a declaration that I refuse to acknowledge the accusation that I ruin good things. In fact, I would love for good things to come my way and do stay... it's just that most of the time, they don't. I don't harbour ill-feelings, I don't even find it in my heart to get angry with people who may have unintentionally and intentionally hurt me along the way. It is because if they were able to hurt me, chances are, I love them or I care for them. That will justify why I would still want them to be in my life... they have become my friends. I never let go because when I decide that I want them in my life, I do want them. This is applicable to romantic partners, friends, even acquaintances. What you see is what you get. What you feel is what I want you to feel. Never will I intentionally make people's lives miserable because I don't believe that anyone deserves to be such.

I still go out with men I used to date once in a while, some of whom did hurt me deeply, but after all the pain, the friendship and the memories of good times remain. I am very talented, and my closest friends can attest to the fact that I am very strong. People ask me how I am able to easily move on, I say moving on is a decision too. In the same way that everything that could shape our lives will boil down to how we decide to act. At a certain point, you have to be able to tell yourself that it has to stop. You have to be able to tell yourself that you don't deserve to be treated that way. At some point, you must realize that you are worthy to be happy.

I pray everyday asking God to never take away my optimism. So far, He hasn't. In fact, I have high hopes for something that could happen in the near future. It may or may not happen, but I guess the best part of it all is that I did what I had to do. If things don't go the way I want them to go, it wasn't meant to be. And if they do, then I can look back and smile knowing that I had something to do with it.

I am not letting go yet. I still believe. I still hope.

Saturday is Gimmick Day

After the Avilon Zoo thing, I met up with Nate, Sam and Japh for yet another round of kwentuhan and catching up. Sam's too happy to tell us about the "we look up to you" moments that she had in her classes, Nate was too happy to get a tour from me at the Library and Japh was too happy that he brought a box of brownies for us to munch on.

It was a typical afternoon, if only we were still in UP, but the change in venue [Rockwell of course] and the changes in our lives [sa ano mang aspeto] made our conversations richer.

Then we decided to go to Market Market so I can go shopping. Sam, Japh and I ended our day by staying at Pier One until 1 in the morning.

I am happy that I am seeing them more often, I need them so I can be saner.

The ILLUSION of a FRIDAY NIGHT GIMMICK......

... became a reality.

It started out with the controversial one-piece ensemble, which I justified by saying that "I am trying to create an illusion that I have a date on a Friday night", I texted Nate to meet with me at Starbucks, he said yes and then the rest was history. Abby, Nate / Atoy and Japhet met up with me to catch up at Starbucks... It was of course a fun, fun, fun night. A few hours after we had to say goodbye but my night didn't there.

Ces and I proceeded to Dencio's at around 12 midnight to drink and be merry with the sisters. We ended up closing Dencio's again, man, two straight weeks. Yebah!

I have a life.

I am finally, finally doing things that are outside law school. I think I have completely adapted. Dapat lang, after more than two years ba naman e.

Nate: Bakit ang conservative mo ngayon?
Euns: Ces, sabi ko sa'yo e!
Ces: Conservative, napaka-controversial nga ng damit nya today.
Nate: Kasi sa UP, normal lang yan e.
Ces: I can just imagine.
