Beautiful Goodbye

         And now, the end is near.. 12/31/12, only a few hours to go before the year ends. I am trying to say things that I hope would make sense. Hmm, I can't think of anything but how excited I am for the coming year. But just for the sake of finishing this "nearly outdated" post, I would like to share what 2012 had been,well, at least, for me..

          I can plainly say that 2012 had made me a person who I want to be. I've learned to do a few things, which of course, I'm not used to do or simply, I didn't want to do because most of the time, I really love to do nothing. Haha! Kidding aside, among those few things are:

1. Capturing a picture (I am not really fond of pictures that's why I don't bother having a camera or even taking just a few "shots". There's another shot I like. Guess what? Cheers. LOL  =)
2. Listening to RNB's (I'm so used to listening to Alternative Rock, Acoustic and Feel Good music only, but this year, I did try to listen to RNB songs.)
3.  Watching American TV Series/Shows (Colonial mentality aside but their shows are really entertaining and some are just so funny and addictive that you won't mind spending more hours watching them than sleeping. Hehe)

Furthermore, 2012 has opened a lot of opportunities and personal developments for me and that includes:

1. Having a not so wavy hair (Thanks to Heaven's!)
2. Refraining from drinking and having some nights out (Thanks to the "semi-ulcer" that I felt and made me a little afraid. Haha!)
3. Having a work that's one-of-a-kind and I am grateful of (Thanks to EBPUI!)

And last but definitely not the least, 2012 have taught me significant lessons that I ought to remember and bear in my mind for the rest of my life:

1. Everything is a matter of perfect timing, if things don't go your way today, maybe tomorrow or the other day, it will.
2. We should not always let our mind to rule over our heart coz sometimes, what we truly feel is what will make things right and not what others think is right. Similar to a Jack Johnson song, "You don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart." =)
3. Honesty is the lifeblood of every relationship.

Goodbye 2012, it was so nice meeting you and having you as a memorable part of my life. Nunca te Olvidare!

The Hangover Effect

          When you get yourself drunk, the toxic effect of the alcohol will not take
place just as the time you drank but instead it is always an after effect, an aftermath, a
hangover. Alcohol, no matter how little the amount you had, will always have an effect
on you. You see, it is not always a cause of extensive headache or an annoying nausea
because sometimes, it helps a person to forget and get over something. But can one really
forget?

          Just like alcohol, love has a two-fold effect on everyone. There is one, which
causes a not-so-good effect and another one which causes a not-so-bad result. Those are
just approximates because truthfully, I don’t believe that love can ever be that good or
that bad. It just depends on how a person takes it. If he takes love as the most important
thing for him, then be it, whereas, if he thinks that love is just a typical thing, it’s his
prerogative. No one can change his stand for it, of course, not unless he let it.
Can a person be drunk at love? Yes, it can. It happens when one had too much
love for a particular person and he/she can do nothing but continue to love him/her
even though he/she left him hanging. Those love drunks are most commonly identified
as martyrs and/or masochists who love hurting themselves by constantly remembering
their former love and worse, desperately hoping that maybe someday, their lost love will
come back to them and they will have a sweeter relationship for the second time, or even
for the nth time around. Over and over, they don’t mind being the one who takes all the
pain while their ex-love goes on being the pain provider. In the end, they suffer from the
melancholy of being alone, literally, and worse, they feel that their lives had just become
worthless. It is in this course of action that the world’s unhappiest creatures are born.
Undeniably, it is such an inevitable downside of love.

          But flipping a coin on the other side, we can see to it that although love has a
striking downside, it has a remarkable role in mankind after all. It is because after we got
drunk and had the utmost hangover, surely, our headache will be over and we can vividly
think once again. Love was made to put to test how far we can go for someone and how
we can handle heartaches and broken hearts. And if we passed the test, another love will
come our way. Though it’s unpredictable when and where it would come, assurance of
its occurrence is definitely high. We just have to wait and be patient for love has its own
way of entering our lives. Do not ever lose hope. We should bear in mind that our latter
love didn’t end up well because another one, which is far better than the last will come. It
is just a continuous cycle of finding and losing a loved one until we end up with the ones
we are fated to be with for the rest of our lives.

          Love makes the world go round so as a couple of drinks make you go round in
circles and see twinkling stars when you had too much. But in any how, are you still
willing to get drunk?

The Otherside

If there is love, there is hatred
If there is right, there is wrong
If there is light, there is darkness
And if there’s an end, there’s always a beginning.

          The magic of life not only rests on how it makes men the most peculiar being
ever created. How they go crazy over it, how to win over something or someone and how
to be at the verge of success, are not what life offers us the most. Somehow, the most
important credit that we had from it is how it keeps all of us alive, not just literally but in
all aspects of our being as well.

          Up until now, and until forever, I guess, we are all bound to face myriad ironies
that life particularly bequeaths to us. They may not please us at all times but at least, we
learn something from them and we acquire such lessons that are vital to humanity.
Love, we do love and it is said to be the greatest gift. Right, it really is but
don’t we know that above all things, it is love that triggers someone to be at the abyss of
hatred? It is because you can never be hurt by a person whom you do not love or you do
not care about at all. The hurt that we’re talking about here is not the simple hurt you feel
when somebody did not invite you to a party or that when someone tells you that your
clothes do not look good on you or even that when a person laid his hands on you and
physically hurt you. Those are just petty, this hurt is the kind that pierce through your
soul and that seems to stab you to death. How many of us have been down after a very
sudden break-up to a very long relationship? How many of us have had our lives almost
taken by ourselves because someone we love passed away? And how many of us have
wished that the person whom we loved before but betrayed us, be out of luck and face
misfortunes? It would definitely be a very significant number. Being hurt is inevitable
especially when we share ourselves to people, hoping that they will share themselves,
their characters, their wealth and their whole being for us in return. It is absolutely
beyond our control and when we get hurt, we tend to hate the person who did us wrong.
And worse, sometimes, it’s not just hate, coz there comes a time that we curse them for
everything which in effect, turns us to be the person we don’t really are.

          But it should not be this way; a wrong deed can never be made right by doing
another wrong deed. Hurt can never be replaced by hatred so as a broken heart can never
be healed by another failing relationship. Ironically, it should not be but sadly, it’s the
way things are. We love, and then we hate. We do right, afterwards, we do wrong. We
urge to see the light, but then we embrace the darkness. No one can really escape these
predestined ironies of life.

          In this light, we still have a refuge. It’s not too late for us to change. If odds
hinder us now, let’s beat them and if we can’t, we just have to learn to cope with it. It’s
just like that. Coz, in the walks of life, if there’s an end, there’s always a beginning…
