A Little Thing called LOVE
"A girl falls in love with a boy because he listens to her when she speaks, and remembers what she said a month ago. Love is sparked by the little things--the quiet word, the gesture of compassion, the look."
--Fr. James B. Reuter, SJ

(taken from MM who got it from Gabbie..haha :P)

Had BK (block kwentuhan) over lunch today at Manang's like any other typical Monday. Who knew my blockies had so many frustrations on love and the like? Who knew that during the ACET one year ago, our paths had crossed without us being fully aware of it? haha :D Block lunch was especially fun when Guido started playing his flute-trombone-saxophone-watchamacallit with everyone singing along, and Maika and I swooning over "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World." haha :P

I wrote this poem for *eheMM*, but since it seems like a lot more people need it for reflection or something, I decided to put it up in here with some minor tweaks/revisions in the poem:

Questions
My heart says "yes", my head says "no"
I really don't know which one to follow
A raging inner struggle consumes my soul
Tormented, I just want to feel whole.

My heart tells me that I love you
My mind doubts whether this is true
My heart simply wants to tell you all
My mind fears that could be my fall.

I'm so confused, I'm not sure why
Should I speak the truth or should I live a lie?
Why am I forcing myself to feel this way?
Why is it so hard for these feelings to fade away?

Do I really want more than friendship from you?
Will I regret not taking that chance my whole life through?
Answers to these questions, I wish I could find
Then maybe, just maybe, life would be kind.

Nabadtrip ako. I thought this day would turn out to be a good one, pero hindi eh.
To think I thought na ok na kami. Yun pala hindi. Plastik na tao pala siya. Bakit ba siya ganun? Hindi ko siya maintindihan. Akala ko na naintindihan niya ako--pero hindi. Hinusgahan niya ako. Akala ko pa naman na kaibigan ko siya.

Kailangan ko ng sabaw para sumaya ako. =(

I'm dreading T-Th..I used to love those two days pa naman. =(
