Romans & histoires Being Independent Quotes

] God, feeling ko tuloy kasalanan ko kung bakit sila nag aaway ngayon. [Mom, I'm not alone. May mga empleyado ako dito, secretary at marami pang iba. Besides kong malulugi man ang kompanya ay responsibilidad ko na 'yon. Saka hanggang ngayon ba wala ka paring tiwala sakin? I already prove myself that I can do it on my own, that I don't need you by my side anymore.] [Ang gusto mo bang iparating sakin na porket malaki ka na ay hindi mo na aki kailangan? Na wala na akong silbi sayo Elthon? Kakalimutan muna ba ang sakripisyo namin ng Daddy mo?]

“But anyways, back to the topic. Oo, ayoko maging katulad ni Daddy. But then I realized, surviving in this kind of era depending only to my salary is hard. I need to have another source of income. I gave it a shot.” “Bakit hindi ka nanghingi ng tulong sa lolo mo?” “I don’t want to bother him,” she replied. “Besides, I want to stand alone. To live my life independently without asking help from anyone.” Umangat ang kanyang kilay. “Then what about your boyfriend? That Doctor you said that your man.”

“Wala talaga sa plano ko ang mag-aral na magluto dahil lagi kong iniisip noon na may nagtatrabaho naman sa akin para gawin ang bagay na iyon.” “So, living alone, away from everything you have in life before is actually a blessing in disguise,” he said. “You learned to do things on your own and now, you become independent which is one way for your father to realize that he can’t just give you to the man you don’t deserve.” “Dad will be the one who says what I deserve and what is not,” I said. “And that is one of the reasons why I don’t really want to go home anymore.”

Kahit ang asawa nito'y tahimik lang din, at panay lang ang ngiti sa kanila. Nagpatuloy ang lola nila. “Tingnan mo itong sina Gin at Van. They are both independent and they can handle their business on their own. Lalo na si Van who has an international business. He is doing well and that’s very admirable. Make him your inspiration.” She proudly turned to her husband and smiled at him. Pero ang asawa niya’y nanatiling seryosong nakayuko sa pagkain nito. Si Sam ay nagsalita. “Well, if you grow up without a family, you have no choice but to stand on your own.”

Malalim ang kanyang mga paghinga at pinagpapawisan na siya. “You’re single, I’m single, maybe we can grab some coffee, if you have free time,” “All I know is you shouldn't beg for love or marriage, Ms. Glory, you're beautiful and obviously smart and independent woman, you deserve someone who will love you more than himself, and I believe right now that it was me,"

"Guys, sobrang na-appreciate ko ang support niyo. Pero ayoko naman na umasa lang ako sa inyo. Gusto kong patunayan na kaya kong tumayo mag-isa kahit wala akong pera mula sa pamilya ko." "Pare, hindi ito tungkol sa pagiging dependent," sagot ni Kevin. "We’re your friends. Kapag nagtagumpay ka, masaya na kami na naging parte kami sa simula. Hindi mo kailangang dalhin ang lahat na mag-isa."

“Kahit part-time lang? Para naman may sarili akong pera.” Bumuntong-hininga siya at sumandal. “If it’s about money, I can give you whatever amount you want. Just tell me.” “Hindi iyon ang point! Gusto ko ng independence. Ayokong habang-buhay na nakadepende sa’yo,” giit ko. Tiningnan niya ako nang matagal. “Independence? You’re twenty, Lia. You don’t even have a place to stay. You don’t even have a phone that works properly.”

"Mayroon kang isang malakas na pakiramdam ng empatiya." "Kasi kagaya ko siya. Iniisip ng lahat na independent ako, pero hindi ako pinanganak na ganoon. Hindi ako mabubuhay kung hindi ako independent." Pilit na ngumiti si Irene. "Bumalik na tayo sa pag-aaral!"

“You don't even how to stand alone. Baka mamatay ka lang sa gutom dahil ‘di ka marunong magluto.” “I will eat outside!” Tumawa siya. “At tatawag ka para samahan kita pauwi.” “Kuya! You're mean!” “And you're a brat.” He pinched my cheeks. “Kidding. But it's up to you. Susuportahan kita sa mga gusto mo. I know you're eager to be independent. Gustuhin ko mang dumepende ka sa'kin habang buhay ay hindi puwede because I don't want to be selfish.”

Muling binuga ko ang mabigat na hininga at napasapo sa noo sa sobrang pag-aalala na baka hindi ako magugustuhan ng mga kasamahan niya. Rinig kong bumuntong-hininga siya at sinandal ang sarili sa upuan para tignan ako. Ang dalawang kamay ay nanatiling nakapahinga sa manobela. "It doesn't matter if they like you or not. What matter most is that you like yourself. No one will like you the way you will like yourself," ayon na naman siya sa mga motivational at inspirational quotes niya. Hindi nalang ko umimik at piniling manahimik habang tinitignan sa gilid ng mga mata na paadarin ang sasakyan.
