The Achy Breaky Hearts

'Di ako masyadong iyaking kapag nanonood ng mga pelikula. Pero yung "The Achy Breaky Hearts," hindi pa lumalabas yung title card naluha na ako. Pak na pak ang intro. #ICanRelate sa linyang ito... "Hindi naman sa kailangan na may kasama umuwi, kumain o matulog. Masarap lang din siguro kung meron. Di ba?" - The Achy Breaky Hearts BOOM! PAK! GANERN! Doon sa "Di ba?" buhos na ang tears. Ang ganda ng pagkakasulat ng intro ng pelikula. Parang pwede kong sabihin na para sa akin yung pelikula. Tama ang desisyon ko na panoorin yun mag-isa. Tapos halos buong pelikula naluha-luha lang ako kahit nakakatawa naman. Kasheh tagos sa buto mga beh. Yung masaya ka naman na single ka pero tongenuh yun, masaya kayang kiligin. Yung kahit na buo ka naman at di mo naman talaga kailangan ng kasama sa kung ano at kung saan pero pag naiisip mong paano nga kung meron? Chinggay, ako ba ikaw? Ikaw ba ako? Nakaka-relate ako beh. #TeamSingle 'Yon eh... doon tayo sa mga what ifs tinatamaan. The film shows us how we can be happy being single yet still yearn for something more. Yung kumpleto ang buhay mo pero di mo mapigilang isipin na baka…

Tonight I Can Write by Pablo Neruda

This is one of my favorite poems. Yes, it's a poem about heartbreak and letting go but it's also a poem about love and how it can move people. Tonight I can write the saddest lines Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example,'The night is shattered and the blue stars shiver in the distance.' The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms I kissed her again and again under the endless sky. She loved me sometimes, and I loved her too. How could one not have loved her great still eyes. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her. To hear the immense night, still more immense without her. And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture. What does it matter that my love could not keep her. The night is shattered and she is not with me. This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance. My…

31 and Single

Nobody really asked for this topic but I'm a bit intoxicated and I can't sleep so what the hell, right? After all, love and relationships are the easiest and hardest things to talk about. Easy because we can all relate to it somehow. Or at least, the lack of it. And hard because it all really doesn't make sense. So here I am. 31 and single. One of things I often get asked (luckily, not so much by my relatives) is why I'm single. The answer? I don't know. I'd like to think there's really nothing wrong with me. So let's examine my past relationships, instead. My first boyfriend (who was not my first love, by the way) was one huge mistake. I'd rather not talk about the guy since we're friends but let's just say I went into the relationship just because. It was a long distance relationship and I felt like it was really not a big investment. While I did mourn the breaking up part, the relationship and the break up didn't really take much of my time or emotions. Our usual nights would go like this... BF: What you doing? Ria: Playing DotA. DND. or this...…
