On Single hood

Before I sleep I often catch myself contemplating on why am I still single. Are my standards too high? Am I looking at the right place cause maybe the One is just right there?

Then again, I don't think my standards are THAT high. Is someone with a decent occupation, pleasing values, good relationship with the Ultimate and great physique too much to ask for? Am I too serious? Okay, the last criteria may be negated – in short husband material.

On the other hand, maybe it is not the One, maybe it is Me. Me who is too preoccupied with work, basketball, ultimate, family and friends. Me who is not pleasing enough to catch someone's heart or even one's attention. Cause if the One is really out there then the chance should have presented itself by now.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my current situation. It is just there are instances when I feel alone. Case in point when mom told me, “Mag-bf ka na nga.”. But why should I rush? I believe I deserve the best the Ultimate has to offer so why would I settle for someone less than the best.

* Pero sana dumating ka na please para maging mas-happy.

On Perspective

In basketball, coach mentioned that I should take more attempts especially when I am free. I was open after the first pass and my teammate shouted "shot", so I took the attempt. Two more attempts from a play and an quickie sideline inbound. I also had another one from a looper from behind the backboard. Too bad for me and all of those tries did not go in. Thus, I am now tagged as "bwakaw" by some. On the other hand, if all those went in, even if it was a circus attempt then WOW, good basket!

Coach believes that I can make those baskets so I will play my role. Despite all those side comments, I will continue to take those attempts. If I don't take the risk then how would I know if my attempt will go in or not. It is better to take those attempts rather commit turnover. Of course, I need to work on my shooting. Oh well, towel, natatawa nalang ako. :))

Played scrabble with my family. Even if my tandem did not reach 200 points and the other tandem kicked our butts, it was definitely priceless. Babawi kami! :))

On Love

No one
falls in love by choice,
it is by CHANCE.

No one
stays in love by chance,
it is by WORK.

And no one
falls out of love by chance,
it is by CHOICE.

The knowledge that we belong to the same group did not prevent my heart from skipping a beat when I saw you at the "farewell dinner". The smile that playfully appeared on your face as you extended your right hand as you said, "Hi, I'm *insert name* ... made me giggle. The soft brush of your lips to my cheek made me tingle. And as I walked away I felt electricity transmit into my whole body.

This happens each time I see you. Shallow as it may sound, you do something to me that I can't explain. Open your eyes, mind and heart because I need you to look into mine.
