It's so easy to be disappointed nowadays, so natural to slide into the cynical, so comfortable to be sardonic. In this day and age, people have come to respect and, by themselves, realize "playing it safe" as the way to go. Dreams don't come true, princes don't gallop in and frogs stay frogs, kiss or no kiss. Fairy tales are just that, tales. People who learn not to risk themselves are a hard bunch, the glint in their eyes are gone and innocence swept away by deceptive thoughts of maturity.
But life is, truly, stranger than fiction. Better even, in it's chaos and randomness that churn out joy and bliss at the blink of an eye. When life comes a'flying in through your bedroom window you'd best be on your feet and a'moving. All it takes is the right wind, the right phase of the moon, and the next thing you know opportunity is offering you the world and lady luck's teeth are shining down from fields of clovers. She breaks down your hard walls and puts back the shine in your eyes in the most unexpected ways.
There are no fields of clover though, only fields of good and bad intentions sown with your own sweat. In the middle, standing there among tall blades of grass and wildflowers, is opportunity. Always there, always waiting, he extends his big hands and within them he grasps satisfaction and the choice is, and always has been, yours.
There is no luck, i think, in the world. There is only open-mindedness. Optimism, good friends and a smile to oil things out is all you really need to be happy in this world. Risk everything, believe in a higher power and you'd be surprised how quickly the scenery changes, how quickly the grass gets greener on your side of the fence.
Dreams have a way of coming true when your happy, princes don't have to gallop in when they can whisk you away instead, frogs stay frogs but they've got hearts beating to the tune of the world. Fairy tales are just that, tales. Life, stranger than any fiction, can never be as fanciful, but pretty perfect in it's grand ways.

ReplyDeleteeeewi said: ako ung taong naniniwala sa 'future' at 'hope' db..na gaganda den ang mga bagay sa buhay mo at one point
ReplyDeletetakte ganto din ako.. naisip ko nga parang hindi nga sya maganda kase parang walang nangyayari sa 'now' ko. alam mo yun. yung parang pag naholdap ako at sinaksak at namatay mamayang gabi e parang... wala lang. wala na. haha anlabo. sana hinde. sana laging may tomorrow. parang ang yabang kasi natin, alam nating hindi tayo mamamatay kinabukasan... pero pwede naman talaga.o kaya yang 'one point' na yan kung san gaganda na dapat yung buhay.. ay nilagpasan nako.. pero hindi ko hinabol dahil tinatamad ako.nakakainis nga dahil kahit aware ako na ganyan nga siguro at dapat talaga may ginagawa ako, wala pa rin akong effort para magbago. 'lazy, apathetic asshole' siguro ang itatawag sakin ni maddox. wag kalimutan ang 'mediocre'. takte nakakadepress. nakakawalang-gana.im glad ill be seeing all of you on 22. (gumaganon haha) sana lang hindi nga ako maholdap at masaksak at mamatay mamayang gabi. haha. (takte tapos nasagasaan daw ako o. haha pero wag naman sana. pero alam mo yun. sigurado akong hindi to mangyayare pero pwede naman talaga sya mangyare. takteng yan.)ang haba nito haha.

ReplyDeleteAnything for you, babe ;D
eeewi said: my momi called me a failure...biruin mo un, my momi.
ReplyDeleteWell your momi should get her head examined. You are not a failure, your mom is just disappointed, and that's just because she's got the luxury of not living your life and getting to judge you by her obsolete standards.I know you iwi. And from where I see it, the flesh and bones on you are of no waste at all. In fact, let me be the one to say I'm proud to have met someone as unique and as special as you. You're one of the kindest people i know (and, might I add, noblest with your intentions, I haven't forgotten) and bubbliest of bubblies. I couldn't have made such a crazy write up of you if you weren't that special.Smile, you deserve it. And if you're getting really down, read your testimonials, I think a second, third, fourth, etc. opinion is in order.
OMG..... im lost.. i rily hafto catch up with u guys... that's why i did the 22 thing.. hehe.. ive bin rily busy lately.. but i really miss everyone.. hope we cud catch up sometime.. starbux anyone? xoxbtw, dont 4get.. july 22 ayt? reserve that date for me. hehe
ReplyDeletehaha you guys tlga o..nag-eenglish pa e hehe. since nagkakausap na ng mga ganitong bagay e may tanong lng ako.. pano kung you're too lost to be depressed and the feeling that you thought was happiness was just false comfort? when you realize that your not much of a person after all and almost everyday you convince yourself na walang mangyayare sa buhay mo dhel wala kang kwentang tao..pano na kpag ganun? bily alam mo naman na ako ung taong naniniwala sa 'future' at 'hope' db..na gaganda den ang mga bagay sa buhay mo at one point. pero untiunti na ren akong nacconvince na there's nothing much to look forward to in the future dhil wala naman akong magagawang maganda sa buhay ko..dhil ndi ako naniniwala sa sarili ko kasi i'm just a loser. my momi called me a failure...biruin mo un, my momi. hahaha. it's really funny when you don't think about it. hahaha.nagaalangan pa ko na sabihin ko to dto at ipabasa sa inyo haha. pero what the hell. haha. everyday thoughts ko lng..sori kung ndi straight english. hahaha.congrats kay dani for being happy. sabay ganon. nagpost daw ba dto. haha sori dani. i need grass, greener grass. hahaha.
ReplyDeleteliyandaw said: takte pag english yung post, english yung reply. haha. bat kase kelangan maramdaman yung mga ganyang pakiramdam.. nakakadepress.. pero minsan talaga masaya e. yun nalang e. bily ginamit ni dani yung "the grass is greener.." wahahaha.
ReplyDeleteMeron talaga mga bagay na mas masarap sabihin sa english, mas matapang kasi (more potent) kung ginamit yung "depression" kesa "lungkot". Yung mga ganung pagkakaiba, yung hinahabol mo minsan e, parang kulang yung kagat (bite) nung mga salita.Hahaha, pero masaya. May damo pa, o! Panong di sasaya yan? Hahaha.
liyandaw said: what i'd give to feel like a kid again...
ReplyDeleteYeah, play in the morning, homework in the afternoon and TV in the evening. Heck, I didn't know what "puyat" was until highschool, blame the afternoon naps, haha... ;_; I miss those naps ~sniff~
bilybilybily said: pero i know im not a cynic. in fact i trust everything.....(haha bobo sya e). do you think im a cynic? i think im just very very miserable right now.
ReplyDeleteYou, cynic? pshaw! Being miserable is a symptom of loneliness, lakad lang sagot dyan (ayan ka nanaman dani sa mga sagot mo, haha)

ReplyDelete"i had a lover's quarrel with the world", you must be having one, too. Take your time, you've still got your whole life to enjoy the world. Although, all this time, I thought you were the one standing all along across the fence, knee-deep in greener grass.
kaya nga step into another person's shoes. whut. haha
ReplyDeletetir0n said: Pero may mga bagay na pervasive na kahit anong gawin mo, hindi mo makaka limutan.
ReplyDeleteMay mga ibang problema, sobrang final. Bawal mag compromise, bawal mag bargain, kelangan i-straight. Nagkakaganito ako... nagmamanhid for the next few weeks. Putik na buhay kasi e, walang save-point.
eeewi said: slmt!
ReplyDeletetsaka sa multiply, haha. parang pwede na tayo maglasing sa kanya kanyang bahay tapos todo post ng mga usapang malupet.
tir0n said: Pero kahit anong gawin mo, hindi mo na mararanasan ang kasiyahan na gaya ng dati.
ReplyDeleteonga may mga ganun.. tapos parang wala ka ng magawa sa mga ganun... tapos parang di mo pa makalimutan.. hay. takte.
liyandaw said: =) siguro nga no.. pag malungkot o problemado kase minsan, parang may blindfold tapos di mo makita yung mga magagandang nangyayare... dapat nga hindi ganon... yikee birthday. =)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Napaka totoo.Pero may mga bagay na pervasive na kahit anong gawin mo, hindi mo makaka limutan. Hindi ka lang takip-silim, tuluyan ka nang bulag. Naririnig mo yung kasiyahan, naaamoy mo yung mga bulaklak, natitikman mo yung keyk. Pero kahit anong gawin mo, hindi mo na mararanasan ang kasiyahan na gaya ng dati.
haha oo tama kyo mga beautiful friends (dani included haha). ok na ako. salamat sa inyo! =) nadala lng cguro ko ng emosyon. haha.. nakaisip nako ng plano pero ndi naman tlga sya plano. pero may plano na tlga ko hahaha. nde naman sa gusto ko maging masamang anak pero parang naicp ko habang naliligo (wag na mag-imagine, tuwing naliligo lng tlga ko madalas magisip at umiyak hahaha takte) na kapag yumaman nako at may sarili ng place, i'l never come back to them. pero sinasabi ko lng cguro to ngayon. malamang lng. malamang-lamang. ilabu guys!! slmt! hehe..mga ilang beses rin akong naiyak (natouch) sa mga reply nyo hehehe salamat...=D

ReplyDeleteoo ikaw ung ganyan saten e. wag mong intindihin ung sinabe ng mommy mo, oo magulang nga nten sila pero naisip ko na hindi tayo dapat masisira ng kahet ano pang sabihin nila saten kase kung ganon, matagal nakong namatay o nabubulok sa ilalim ng lupa, parang dont expect much from them dahel parents naten sila.. parang dahel tinawag ka nyang failure, parang nagfail den sya na maging mother sa panahon na kailangan mo sya... parang ganon. kahet sino pa yan, kahet family pa, wag kang magpapasira dahel sa mga sinasabe nila.. tamang matuto o pagandahin na lng nten ang mga mundo naten, tipong masasabe mo 'failure pala ah...tingnan moto'ung future naman tlga kse dapat hindi tinatanaw. lageng ung present lang ung nakikita mo, kaya ang future malalaman mo lang tlga kapag nangyayari na sya, kaya bale hindi na tlga sya matuturing na future. parang ganon. basta dapat ang focus ung ngayon, masyadong malaking burden ung problemahin ung future kse napakainfinite ng possibilities..parang kung gagandahan mo ung present mo, mas may chance na maging maganda ung future mo...unless napakamalas mo tulad ko (haha may mga ganon pang bawi)
=) siguro nga no.. pag malungkot o problemado kase minsan, parang may blindfold tapos di mo makita yung mga magagandang nangyayare... dapat nga hindi ganon... yikee birthday. =)
ReplyDeletegelangenie said: Anlabo rin, pero ang feeling is "it can't get any better than this".
ReplyDeletenakakainggit... sana maramdaman ko na rin to.. pero sa totoo lang masaya naman ako ngayon dahil umuwi yung nanay ko. haha. tapos masaya ako pag nakikita ko yung pinsan ko si dwayne (baby, 2months palang) na parang kahit 2++ oras yung biyahe ko galing QC, alis yung pagod ko pag nakita ko sya. haha. tapos makikita ko pa kayo sa 22 naks.pero siguro nga no.. pwede namang makuntento nalang.. nasa utak nalang yan.. takteng utak. isang brain transplant naman jan o.
nuneeoww said: pakita mo na mali sha.. make whatever she said a motivation in order to do better.. be useful.. mangarap ka.
ReplyDeleteOnga! Work hard para maabot yung day na lalapitan mo yung mommy mo tapos sasampalin mo sya ng 6-digit mong sweldo (in 20 peso bills) sa pisngi. Haha, pero nanay mo yun... Bilhan mo na lang ng condo sa makati, trip yung ng mga parents e (kasi libre movie ng mga senior citizen sa makati).
liyandaw said: yung parang pag naholdap ako at sinaksak at namatay mamayang gabi e parang... wala lang. wala na.
ReplyDeleteTakte, kala ko ako lang nagkakaganyan. Naghihintay na lang ako mamatay, sa totoo lang. Pero masaya ako. Parang hinde tugma dba? Pero ang feeling ko ngayon parang kontento na ko sa buhay ko ngayon, masaya ko sa mga kaibigan at pamilya ko, sa tingin ko medyo nabayaran ko na utang ko sa mundo, kaibigan at sa pamilya. Parang kung sine man ang buhay ko, parang nasa point na ko na "too good to be true", so dapat mamatay na ko kasi ako yung magpapaiyak sa mga audience. Anlabo rin, pero ang feeling is "it can't get any better than this".Pero siyempre hinde ko pa nakikita si Sam Gamgee or nakapunta sa Ireland, or nakapag smorgasbord ng creampuff at eclair, nakaakyat ng bundok na may snow, nakaakyat ng bundok na walang snow, nakita rice terraces, nakahalik na hapon (haha). Marami pa kong pwede habulin sa mundo, pero for now, kung ma dedz nga ako, ayos lang. Panonoorin ko na lang kayo tuparin yung (ibang) mga pangarap ko galing sa langit.
