YOU SHOULD DATE A GIRL WHO READS.
Date A GIRL WHO SPENDS HER MONEY ON BOOKS INSTEAD OF CLOTHES, who has problems with closet space
because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always HAVE AN UNREAD BOOK IN HER BAG. She’s the
one LOVINGLY LOOKING OVER THE SHELVES IN THE BOOKSTORE, the one who QUIETLY CRIES OUT when she
has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick SNIFFING THE PAGES OF AN OLD BOOK in a secondhand book
shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.
She’s the girl READING WHILE WAITING IN THAT COFFEE SHOP DOWN THE STREET. If you take a peek at her mug,
the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit
down. She might GIVE YOU A GLARE, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.
It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the GIFT OF
WORDS, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are
love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little
like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.
She has to give it a shot somehow.
Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value,
nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all
things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That
life is meant to have a villain or two.
Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the
Twilight series.
If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her
a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the
characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.
You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.
You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story
of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and
Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath
while you shake the snow off your boots.
Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can
only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. IF YOU WANT THE WORLD
& THE WORLDS BEYOND IT, date a girl who reads.
Or better yet, DATE A GIRL WHO WRITES.

"DAHILAN KUNG BAKIT MANHID ANG ISANG TAO."
Nagkukunwaring hindi nila nararamdaman ang mga pinaparamdam mo kasi ...
>Hindi sya sure kung totoo yung mga sinasabi o pinaparamdam mo sa kanya. In other words,AYAW NYANG MAG-
ASSUME !
>Alam na nyang paasa ka,sinungaling at lolokohin mo lang din sya gaya ng panlolokong nagawa mo sa iba.(hi sa ganitong tao
)
>Takot masaktan at ayaw i-level up ang pagkakaibigan nyo.
>Nakukulangan ata sa pag-eeffort mo.
>Nagpapahard to get lamang ang taong ito.(which is right)
>Nasaktan na sya dati at ayaw na nyang maulit pa ito. (madami talagang ganito eh)
>Naguguluhan at hindi makapag decide kung anong dapat gawin,in short CONFUSED.
At ang pinaka masakit sa lahat
>HINDI KA TALAGA NYA GUSTO.(huta ito talaga yun eh )
Meron din namang mga manhid na nag prepretend na masaya kahit yung totoo DUROG NA DUROG na sila.
Pero marami pang ibat ibang dahilan kung bakit may mga manhid,kaya naman wag natin sila ijudge.
Message ko lang para sa mga manhid,wag mong hintaying magsisi ka pa sa huli. Pahalagahan mo yung mga taong
nagmamahal sayo, baka manghinayang ka sa mga taong binabalewa mo ngayon. Yung taong nag titiis kahit
pinaparamdam mong binabasura mo na sya, yung taong nangungulit sayo, yung taong gagawin ang lahat mapasaya ka lang,
at yung taong nalulungkot pag dika nakakausap.
Dahil pag yang taong yan napagod at nagsawa mag bigti ka na de.jk hinding hindi na mauulit lahat ng efforts at oras na
nagawa nya para sayo. At dun mo marerealize na malungkot kung wala sya. Masasabi mo talagang...NASA HULI ANG
PAGSISISI.

Greatest Heartbreak Ever
Sana ma-post ito. Hehe
Malamang ang naisip nyo palang based sa title ay about sa lovelife. Haha! Pero it's not. I had relationships before and yes they
were painful heartbreaks. But this is by far, the greatest and most painful heartbreak na na-experience ko.
Dahil nga sa napagod na rin akong umibig, ang sabi ko magfo-focus na lng ako sa studies ko. At ang aim ko talaga ay maging
dean's lister. Sa mundo ng Engineering ang pagiging dean's lister ay napaka hirap kaya ang goal ko ay maging dean's list man
lang ako kahit once. Haha! Kaya nag aral ako ng todo ngayong second sem. Limang buwan ng pakikipag puyatan ang naranasan
ko at dumating ang bigayan ng grades. Kabadong kabado ako and at the same time medyo excited nung buksan ko ung student
portal ko ng 12MN. At dun ko nakita ang greatest heartbreak ko. Ang 1.76 kong GWA na napaka saket. Huhuhuhu! Hindi pa sya
naging 1.75 huhuhu! Hindi ko alam kung tatawa ba ako, iiyak o mae-ewan hahahahaha! Kaya napasabi na lng ako na hindi pa
para sa aking ang pagiging dean's list ngayong sem. Hahahaha!
P.S.: Para sa mga magsasabing nag yayabang ako, I am not. Wala kayong pake kung ito ang heartbreak ko. Walang
pakielamanan. Wag niyo akong sisihin kung ang heartbreak niyo ay sa mga relationshit na yan. This is my heartbreak and you
ain't gonna change that. Thanks!
P.P.S.: Para sa mga nakakakilala saken, please don't tag me haha thanks labyu guys
