hopeful romantic

During one of my random overthinking sessions, I came to dissect the term "hopeless romantic". I just can't understand how such an optimistic word (romantic) can be associated with such negativity (hopeless). dba??prang bigla akong naguluhan.

 

at dahil jan, I hereby proclaim myself a hopeful romantic.

 

why? because the day that I would start to think any of these things..

• Wall-e is just a robot
• Serendipity is full of coincidental bull
• The notebook can't happen in real life
• Luke and Lorelai are not perfect for each other
• Overjoyed is just another love song
• Vince O. Teves is gay for writing Vince's life 
• Meg Cabot book endings are stupid and too far off
• Renewal of vows is just a waste of time and money
• The proposal in Runaway Bride is too cheezy
• Casablanca is just a black and white movie

..would probably mean that I am on the verge of starting to collect cats and is planning to take a bath just every other day. or maybe it would mean I finally grew up. It could only be one or the other. Who knows right? All I know is, until that day comes (if ever it comes), you can't take the hope from this romantic :)

 

yes i am wearing rose-tinted heart-shaped glasses,

living inside a bubble in the lalaland.

please don't pop it.

race

 

 

Why are you still running when clearly the race is over?

 

 

stop hoping for another lap.

somebody already has the trophy and there's no consolation prize.

my happy ending :)

another stolen entry from Teacher Tina. fenx! :)

 

"Every movie we see, Every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave.

 

And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope"

 

It never ends. Life goes on..

trying hard

"Trying Hard" or TH. Ilang beses ko ng nagamit at narinig gamitin ang term na yan. "ang trying hard nman nya, d naman bagay..", "ang trying hard nya mag-[insert verb here], buti pa c [insert name here] mas natural..effortless"

Naisip ko lang recently, what's wrong with trying hard?Is giving something a shot and giving your all not worth anything anymore?In a perfect world, those who try harder should get what it is they worked hard for. but this is obviously not a perfect world. Sometimes giving your all is a complete waste of time and energy. People are always saying try and try until you succeed blahblahblah. but the moment you try something and things didn't work out as well as you would have wanted, other people will put you down. Meanwhile, you see other people not caring, not trying, but getting all the glory. The "effortless" people are reaping all [your] benefits. bakeett??whhhy??is it for you to try harder?or for you to just give up?ewan ko. maybe this is another "you-can't-have-everything" situation or "everything-happens-for-a-reason" scenario.

Ang masasabe ko lang, for those "trying hards" out there, it takes a lot of guts and effort to actually try something knowing there's a big chance that you will fall flat on your face and people will "boo" at you..the people putting you down are the ones who don't have the nerve to try it themselves. inggit lang cla! at the end of the day, at least you tried. If it's really what you want, keep trying cause maybe, just maybe, it will pay off this time. you'll never know if you don't try again dba? and don't get envious on the "effortless" people who seem to get what they want with very little or no effort. sinuwerte lang cla. hard work beats luck always! :)
