If I had been hurt once, there is no way for me to go back and expect a change. Because for me, a change is only applicable for the things that's so good to be true, and not on things you wished to change.

Bad things: unchanged.

Good things: always change.

Noon pa man, tinanggap ko na mas magbabago ang mga bagay na nakasanayan ko, kesa sa mga bagay na ayaw ko.

And now, thinking about Psalm’s mother going back to his father as if nothing happened, because…. She loves his father so much she was ready to be hurt again, I couldn't understand it. Much grasp the reason.

Because… Does love supposed to hurt you? I think it's not. It should calm you… care, respect… and trust you. Not the other way around.

“I don't think it's a good idea to love a person… the second time around after being hurt by them.” I said, eyes looking far.

Napansin ko ang marahang pag-tango ni Psalm. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Naroon ang pagsang-ayon at walang pagtutol sa akin.

“Yeah, right. It's really not a go

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 25

    It's my first time witnessing a wedding. It's my first time attending a wedding, in general. I don't believe in this. Marriage? It's just a paper that makes two people bound. If they can maintain the relationship, good for them. But if not, then it's a waste of time, money, and effort. I am no risk taker. My decisions are calculated and all think thoroughly. So, if I'm asked about marriage, I'd say, it's not worth it. “Close your eyes, this one will highlight your beautiful deep russet brown eyes…” Alex said, as she put on any makeup on my face. The wedding is late in the afternoon, and early evening. The couple wanted to have the sunset as their background, as it will take place on the beach. It's a beach wedding. “Don't put on so much makeup. Baka mas maganda pa ‘ko sa bride, nakakahiya naman.” Psalm said he will fetch me, and I told him to fetch me in Alex's condo. Hindi naman daw malayo ang venue ng kasal kaya ayos lang na hindi kami maaga roon. At wala rin naman ako

    A soft blow of the afternoon wind blew my hair. Psalm was happily eating his ice cream, his smile wouldn't die down. But I… I am drowning with thoughts as my eyes play tricks on me. How the hell am I seeing a perfect family… eating ice cream and being happy?The little girl was in all smiles as she ate her ice cream, the cream was all over the sides of her mouth. Like how a little kid is supposed to eat, and… two parents looking exactly in-love with each other. Like no one could ever break their moment. They watched their little girl, full of smiles, love… and caring.A… tear suddenly fell from my eyes.I got a glimpse of Psalm looking at the direction I'm looking. Was that an imagination? Or did that happen exactly in front me?“Hey…what's wrong?” Psalm seemed worried now.Bakit ba sa lahat ng pagkakataon, ngayon ko pa kailangan makita ang eksenang ‘yon? Did the world just really want to play with me?Alam ko naman na masama ako, malandi pa nga para sa iba. Pero, kailangan bang pai

    “Are you sure about that?” I know Alex is a legit source but now that we are talking about people we don't really know, it makes me buckle. Paano kung mali ang mga nasagap niya?“I mean, those are rumors. No confirmation about it. It might be a flop.” She sighed and leaned back on her chair. She looked relaxed, it makes me wanna stop her from getting these shits. I suddenly have a bad feeling.“Don't you trust me? I'll find proof about it. And, of course I won't disseminate the information to you if I haven't confirmed it yet.” She said, coolly.Kumunot pa lalo ang noo ko at mas lalo akong naging kuryoso. Maybe she dug… a little too hard. “So you confirmed it?” I asked.Nagkibit balikat siya. Her eyes were that of a hungry person. Hungry for what?“I am looking for loopholes.” She wiggled her brows.Loopholes? What does she mean?“Alex, I'm only asking for information about where his sibling could be. Stop digging deeper! Hindi na natin kailangan ‘yan!” I snapped.Namuo ang pawis

    “How's work, Li?” Ate Tar asked when I laid myself on her bed.Right after I stormed out of the office, pumunta agad ako sa apartment ni Ate Tar. I wanted to freshen up my mind and I need her wisdom. Namiss ko na rin siya.“Work sucks. Akala ko prof ko lang sa college ang magbibigay sakin highblood, pati rin pala si Mr. Almario.” umirap ako.Ate Tar is living with her boyfriend, Jeremiah. Well, he treats my sister good and right, and this apartment was his, he shared it with Ate, so I think he's good. I'd give him a benefit of that. As long as my sister is happy and in good condition, I'm good. “Where's your boyfriend?” I asked, smugly.Napairap siya sa ‘kin. “He's working.” Nagkibit balikat ako. “What are you doing here?” She asked, sounding a little curious. Ayan na naman siya. Manghuhula na naman ‘yan. Nakakatakot pa naman ‘yan kung manghula, talagang nahuhulaan niya! Siguro, hidden talent niya talaga ‘yon.“I'm stressed.” I confessed.Lumapit siya sa akin at agad akong tina

    “Graduating year must be hard, huh?” I asked as I settled myself on the counter, watching him cook.Tumango siya at marahan akong tiningnan.“It is. You always need to be your best. It's kinda hard, actually…” “Why did you take and enter law school if it's hard?” He stopped for a while whatever he was doing, as if he's thinking about how to respond. I waited, then.“Because, I want it. I… dreamed of it…” his eyes glistened with some familiar passion. He looked at me, I saw how his eyes shined. He was talking about something… and he's passionate about it— his dreams and ambitions.“I have always thought that the world is unfair to me. But when I got older, my eyes opened to the realization. The world is not unfair, the people of it are. And the only way I can help, to at least lessen the burden, is to be fair.” He smiled at me.He is right. The world is not an unfair one, but the people living in it are. It's a cruel world because the people of it are. The world is only a place, an
