"How are you?"



We all have different experiences, different lifestyles, different lives... and we may not know it, but sometimes, the only question we'd only wanna hear from people is: "How are you?"

"I'm fine."
"I'm good."
"Everything's alright."
"Nothing much really."
"nm"
"fine"

SAME OLD. SAME OLD. Why can't I hear these answers?

"My dog died...He was a gift from my dad and ... "
"My favourite band's gonna have a concert near our place and my parents wouldnt mind me spectating!"
"I got fired from my job ..."
"I'm going to have a new cousin!"

They sound better, don't they?

It would be nice to know that someone actually listens. That someone actually cares. Not like:

"Ahh.." (silence)
"Aww, that's terrible!" (silence)
"Good for you" (silence)
"Good to hear" (silence)
(silence)
*laughs* (silence)
"Okay" (silence)

Have a conversation and make a friend. I have been in a lot of conversations that doesn't even reach up to 15 minutes and yes, it feels bad. I would think that maybe I'm just simply a boring person. A conversation where the words would just come out and you'd lost track of time is the conversation that I'm aiming for. A conversation where you're both having fun, forgetting the things that has been stressing you out for a couple of days. Conversations where everything is just background noise...just you and your friend or two...just chatting... And it all started with that one question...

So tell me...


How are you?

What's Wrong With Love? (Honesty Hour)

"You can only have a boyfriend once you graduate college," my grandma would remind me. I have always wondered how it would feel like to have someone you love with you every single day, knowing that he is yours and you are his. Sharing the same love song, forehead kisses, love letters, goodnight texts or calls, waking up to his good morning's... they sound good, dont they? I think they do. I admit, hearing songs like "Just The Girl" by Click 5 cheers me up. I have always wondered if someone will dedicate that song to me, I wondered how I would feel, I wondered if I can contain myself if that ever happens.I made a promise to myself that if I'll ever meet a guy who loves that song and sings it with me, he's the one. ( I never told this promise to anybody 'til now) I have met him. But what am I suppose to do but make him wait? Three more years, I would remind him. Have I met him too early? Too quick? No. I've met him at the right ...

Don't Take Love Away

If you know someone who has a girlfriend and if you're planning to flirt with the man, I'm gonna have to ask you to read this post until the end. This will be short. Whenever I'm outside, in a classroom, or in a cafe, I have heard conversations about a girl crushing on a guy who already have a girlfriend, and what I heard we're pretty bad. Their plans would either be: wait til they break up (adding "walang forever" / "there's no forever") flirt steal the guy herself Why? Why do you have to go through all that process on stealing someone's love? Why do you have to be selfish? Do you think about the consequences? Have you ever thought that you will ruin someone's view about love? How can you live thinking that you got what you want, but there is someone out there crying at night thinking why they WEREN'T ENOUGH. If it sounds as if I've been through that kind of pain... then yes, I have, and I still am going through ...
