chance versus choice.

been blogging regularly. haha. this is not a good sign. it means im either too lazy to do what i have to do or i actually have time to do other things im not supposed to be doing.

my previous blogs have largely dealt with one of my oh-so-favorite topics --- love. i am NO expert though but i guess i can say that i have a good grasp of how it works (or how it doesnt work.. haha). from experience (weh! haha) as well as from countless love problems i have encountered thanks to my friends who had them (sheesh ;p), i believe that i know the basics if you can call it that way.

waiting.

to wait.

i believe there is such a value to this act especially when it comes to l-o-v-e.


my qualms with this, however, stem from the fact that

one can never be too sure

too certain


of that

point in time

where one must

cease to wait.

".. ang buod ng paghihintay ay nasa taos na paggalang sa
kalayaan ng tumatawag: na maari itong tumawag o
manahimik sa kanyang sariling panahon at ritmo.

Hindi alam ng tutugon kung kailan at kung ano ang magiging
anyo ng tawa. Ngunit, hindi niya kaya at hindi niya kalooban
na pilitin ang tatawag. ."
- Padre Roque Ferriols, S.J.

"the waiting feeling's fine.."

is it really?


manning the booth for ACMG's Love Week next week at Kostka extension earlier today, the girls couldnt stop teasing each other to order a flowers for them so that they wont feel bad during the Day of the Hearts. [note: Love Week is the annual project of ACMG wherein one can "hire" the choir to render a serenade to your special someone with flowers and message included. single rose, 3 roses, 6 roses and 12roses pwede. shameless plug!]

much as i'd want to deny it, i know that i wouldnt mind receiving a bouquet of flowers accompanied by a serenade. haha. there's the hopeless romantic screaming out of meself. sheesh ;p


i know for a fact that a lot of ladies are waiting out there.
waiting for prince charming to arrive.
waiting for the perfect moment to strike up a conversation.
waiting for the time you serendipitously bump into "the One".
waiting for him to notice that you're physically present.
waiting...
waiting...
waiting...


some are still optimistic while others seem to have given up hope.



do we always have to "let fate take over"?

must we continue to believe that since "God has chosen my one true love.." I will surely find him given that "he is the only one meant for me."....?


when do we actually take life by the reins and create our own happy ending?
