Novel & Cerita Life Is About Choices

Karamihan ay wala ng choice sa buhay at kapit patalim na lang upang makaraos sa araw- araw ng buhay. Para sa kanya hinding- hindi niya papasukin ang ganoong trabaho. Hindi sa nagsasalita siya ng patapos. Bilog naman ang mundo at kahit sino ay hindi makapagsabi ng kapalaran ng bawat isa.

All the happiness can be replaced by grief, and all grief can be relieved by new joyful things that will come. I realized that in every struggle, a person always has his or her choice. Nasa tao na lang kung ano ang pipiliin niyang daan. Maraming pinipili ang mabuti at nakakapag-isip ng tama, at marami rin ang nagpapadala sa matinding emosyon at hinahayaang kainin ng kasamaan. I once thought of the wrong choice but didn't choose any of them. Saan ba dapat ako lulugar? Sa mabuti at pakawalan na lang lahat ng pighati sa buhay, o sa masama at hayaan ang sarili na panandaliang magpakasarap sa paghihiganti?

"I told you already– wala na akong pakialam, Trinity Anne. And I only asked because... I was curious. That's all. Whether or not you find happiness and content in the choices you made, I don't care anymore. You chose that life, deal with it." Manghang umawang ang bibig niya, nawalan ng isasagot. Well, ano pa nga ba ang sasabihin niya? Malibang tila hindi na niya kilala ang taong kausap niya ngayon, ay naninigas ang katawan niya sa lamig ng tono ng pananalita nito. You chose that life, deal with it... Nagpaulit-ulit ang mga salitang iyon sa isip niya.

That's the reality that we have to face. Kahit ano pa ang gawin mo, mabuti man o masama, may masasabi at masasabi parin sila tungkol sayo. That's the reason why I started not to think about other people. Isa iyon sa mga natutunan ko while healing myself. I learned to live my life the way I wanted it to be and not to give a fuck about our society's opinion. Kasi kung magpapaapekto ka, ikaw rin ang matatalo. So instead of living their expectations, why don't we make our own choices and do whatever makes us happy.

Kung silang lahat ang magsabi saakin nito baka babalik talaga ako sakanya pero gusto kong tumayo sa tama. "Kung kami talaga sa isa't isa Vence, hindi ito hayaan ng tadhana mangyayari saamin," Sabi ko na medyo tumahan na dahil sa pinagusapan. "Ikaw gumaga ng tadahana ate, hindi ang ibang tao o ang panahon, kundi ikaw. Your choices are your destiny ate. Whatever choice you make, it's your destiny. Your choice can change whatever happens, the sadness you felt right now, the feeling at home when you're in someone, it's your choice ate," Seryosong sabi niya.

"Avril, hija, life is full of choices, and sometimes we make decisions in the heat of the moment that we come to regret. But regret alone doesn't define us. It's what we do moving forward that matters." Nanatili akong tahimik habang nakikinig sa mga sinasabi niya. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimula at kung tama nga ba ang naging desisyon kong makipag-usap sa kaniya ngayon tungkol sa mga nangyari noon. She gave me a small smile as she held my hand. "I also wanted to express my gratitude for the choices you made back then," she told me.

Gusto n'ya kapag mag-uusap ay diretso sa pinag-uusapan at wala ng paligoy-ligoy pa. Kaya minsan ay ayaw sa kan'ya ng iba pa nilang mga pinsan dahil sa ugali n'ya ngunit wala naman s'yang pakialam sa mga ito. Gagawin n'ya kung ano ang kan'yang gusto. His life, his choice, his rules. Iyan ang kan'yang motto sa buhay.

tanong ko sa kanya at bigla siya natameme. "There are just things na kahit ayaw mo wala kang choice but you need to go with the flow," malungkot na sagot niya. "You always have a choice, all you need is to stand for it no matter what. I know I'm not in a position to say this but if you really don't like what is happening with your life deal with it. Don't just go with the flow, you have to make your own choice and decision," payo ko at tumango siya.

“Sickness is not and will never be a valid excuse to commit any type of crime.” “Kapag naging mahirap po kayo patron, mauunawaan niyo po kung bakit niya nagawa ang bagay na tulad nito. Life sometimes leave us with no choice,” sambit ni Uno. Tumaas ang kilay ni Don Fridman. “No, Uno. Palagi tayong may pagpipilian. Iniisip lang nating wala pero mayroon. Unlike chances, choices always exists. Mas pinipili lang talaga ng ilan kung saan sila mas madadalian without thinking about the consequences of their actions.”

Bakit kailangan pa niya pakialaman ang mga buhay na nasa paligid niya. "Nababaliw ka na" Tanging nasabi ko. "No I'm not. I'm just trying to tell you that everything in life comes with a choice, your choice and there is no one to blame. You chose to be part of his life and sign that damn contract and you chose to fall inlove with him too. Aren't you a little bit curious what will be the other scenarios if you chose to stay that night?" Umupo si Ericka sa table ni Zach katulad ng nakagawian nitong gawin.
