I spent the day writing a screenplay for Cinemalaya next year *crosses fingers*. I have done several screenplays before but this one is different. It’s about LOVE. It’s funny though because I just came from a heartbreak. So saan ko kukunin ang pagka-mushy ko sa mga bagay-bagay? Need I explain? Hahaha!
Nakakaloka ang mga pangyayari kung PAG-IBIG lang ang pag-uusapan ha.
Examples:
- my friend who just got her heart broken for the last three months is getting back with his boyfriend, (oo na, Applet, ikaw na masaya! haha!) SILA NA ANG GETTING BACK TOGETHER.
- and another friend who has been ‘vacant’ for a year has finally grabbed her new love life. SIYA NA ANG MAY BAGONG BOYFRIEND
- Another friend, who has been in a terrible heartbreaking situation are trying to mend the broken gap between her and her ex-boyfriend. SILA NA ANG “LET’S FIX THINGS AND GET BACK TOGETHER… SOON”
- A friend of mine is head-over-heels with her friend and they are kind of dating now. SILA NA ANG MAGIGING MAGBOYPREN-GERLPREN.
So I was like, WAIT LANG HA! BAKIT LAHAT GANYAN? Hahaha! When I finally joined the “broken hearted club”, everybody started dating and getting a relationship. DAYUUUM! And my friend said, “Dude, I waited for this… for 2 long years, remember?” It was like, “In your face, Jonah! In yer face!!!” Hahaha and I was like, LMAO! Hahahaha!
It’s so nice to see people in-love… or just smiling because they think they are. And in finding love, or the so-called “LET’S-TEST-YOUR-PATIENCE” stage, everybody could just write on a piece of paper: YOU + ME= shit, bagay na bagay! TAYO NA LANG! Hahahaha!
Well, the truth is, finding love ain’t easy. I remember a quote sent by my friend that says: “I WANT TO LOVE A GUY WHOSE HEART HAS BEEN BROKEN SO HE KNOWS HOW IT FEELS AND WON’T BREAK MINE.”
Truuuuue enough! Let us never close our hearts and minds to finding new love.
So going back to the screenplay I am writing…
It brings me to good old days where I was leaping with joy. I wonder though. When was the last time I got kilig just because I am in-love or maybe got a random note from my better half…The answer is: well, quite a long time now. (insert straight-faced smiley here haha!)
(Ok guys, if you are reading this, getting small notes or short letters indicating your love for us is way sweeter than giving us bouquet of roses or gallons of chocolates. The letters, we could keep forever.)
Pero aminin natin, when we are in our cloud nine state, lahat ng mangyari sa atin, significant. Like kunwari,
- number ng anniversary niyo nasa isang malaking sticker, mapapa-“AWW” na kayo sa isa’t-isa..
- O mas gawin nating simple.. kapag kumain kayo sa fast food chain, Mcdo, KFC, Jollibee, etc. Pag yung anniversary date niyo yung binigay na number ng waiter or kahera, sobrang matutuwa kayo.. minsan pa nga pipiktyuran niyo! AMINAN NAAA! Hahaha!
- O tapos kapag 12:01 na sa cellphone niyo paunahan pa kayo mag-greet ng “Happy Monthsary!” Pahabaan pa nga minsan, puro ILABYU, ILABYU! Hahaha!
- tapos kapag nakikinig kayo sa radyo/mp3/iPod, biglang pinatugtog yung ‘theme song’ niyo, lalakasan niyo! Ano, tama ba? Hahaha!
Ganon talaga kapag in-love eh, walang pinipiling lugar at panahon. Kahit numero lang yan, sobrang importante sa inyo. Oh well, enjoy and savor the moment while it lasts. (SARCASTIC? hahaha)
Yung sa sinusulat kong stroya, nakakakilig. Yun pa lang nagpapakilig sa akin ngayon. (Tsaka pala si Jake Cuenca at Xian Lim) Which is nakakatawa dahil, hello, storya lang yun! Pero kahit papano pwede na. Tsaka nakaka-inspire din. You can find love in different places, different situations. Like Ashton Kutcher in A LOT LIKE LOVE movie. Imagine, he was just wiping his dirty polo when a girl came knocking. Sa eroplano yun! Nakakatuwa lang coz people find it in strange places.
I won’t put myself into someone who’s in-love shoes, because, I shall admit, I already forgot the feeling.. Yung feeling na “Shit, in love ako, I know!” Siguro in time, when I get the feeling ulit, it would be a whole-new experience. Getting a new relationship? Definitely not. Hindi pa muna, MALINAW YUNG MUNA HA, ako bibitaw hangga’t mayroon pa akong nararamdaman. Let love die a natural death, ika nga nila. There is nothing cute with baggage while entering a new relationship. So hinay-hinay lang. Antayin mo yung panahon na kapag nakita mo siya wala ka na nararamdaman at maiisip mo na isa nalang siyang ordinaryong tao.
- Yung hindi ka na apektado kung may makita kang picture na may kasama siyang iba,
- o kaya hindi mo na inaalala kung kamusta na siya, kung ok ba siya, kung nasaan siya..
- Sige, gawin nating mas simple. It is when you forget the urge to text/call him… to ask if things are okay.
- Tipong hindi mo na rin inaantay na mag-appear sa inbox mo yung pangalan niya.
Kapag wala ka nang pakialam sa mga bagay na yon, PWEDE KA NA PUMASOK SA BAGONG RELASYON.
Well as for my friends who are giving LOVE A SECOND CHANCE and another kick-ass celebration, I am happy for all of you. I know the pain you have been through and all the hopeless romantic nights you surpassed. LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND so give it your best shot!
For my friends who are not yet in-love, okay lang yan. Take care of your heart, love will find you. And when it does, give in.
For my friends who are curing their broken hearts, let it rest for a moment, it will learn to love again.
For my friends who think they are in-love, be careful. Your heart is fragile. Let it not reach the ground, let somebody catch it. Hindi pwede yung “I WANT YOUR LOVE, I DON’T JUST WANNA BE FRIENDS”. Dapat sure ball, ok?
For my friends who are reading this, hello, alam kong sasabihin niyong andami ko na namang alam! Hahaha sorry, feel ko lang mag-blog. Ganon talaga kapag Bum.
“In my own opinion, the best thing you could do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty.. what have you.. the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass and that’s the kind of person worth sticking with.”- Mac MacGuff, Juno.
