"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 ...

Choose: My Happiness or Yours?

We can’t deny that we’ve all been through this rough decision. You wanna go home but your friends want you to stay? You wanna buy your favorite shoes but your mom insists that the shoes she picked was better? You wanna be a teacher but your parents wants you to be an engineer? Those are just some of the hard decisions to think over. Whether you’ll go for what you want but the other side gets disappointed or you follow the wants of others and you just have to bear with it.  But to think of it, sometimes you have to fight for yourself. I mean, yes, you want to make them happy, but what about you? Are you gonna be happy? Yes, sometimes you have to think about others before yourself but it doesn't mean you have to do it all the time...because sometimes, people can abuse you for that. Would you want that? Definitely not. But then the thought that you're risking something over your happiness might come into mind. Take for example, your friendship. Yes, they ...
