Single...love!

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching sappy romantic movies with ideal couple with guaranteed happy ending is such magical thou expected. I know this is terrible but there is something about them that just seem slightly attainable and relatable to our own life. Not all of us have been assigned a Mcdreamy in this lifetime. Yes! I still have a huge crush with Derek Christopher Shepher of Grey's Anatomy. I’m sorry guys.

So you’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you weird, fat or you dress like out of nowhere or it’s not because you did not promptly follow the love chain letter instructions that you have to send it to 20 people close to you.

You’re not single because your standards are way too high. It’s good to have standard at least you know what you like. 

You’re not single because you did not learn enough from your past relationship or go out on a Friday night after work and have a bottle of beers with your guy office mates instead you stay home, shower have a glass of wine and read your favorite book. You’re not single because something is wrong with you.

You are single because you are single. Simple as that. You haven’t made the connection with another heart. Don’t lose your faith in love rather perceived it as a temporary phase. You should feel lucky!

 It’s time for you to focus on your personal growth, your passions, your work, friends and family. I assure you Love will never run out in your life.

And if you are one of the million people with the feeling of pressure of partnering up, trust the process. The world has its unique way of preparing you and the person you re meant to be with. Have faith and remember there are some things that don’t work that might work with someone else in the future.

There will come a time you’ll meet that special one and you’ll have to give up some of this single freedom and start being more thankful. 


Goodluck to your fairy tale:)

Life is Good!

    All I know is I quit looking for the ideal mate. I am happy to be alone. I am single by choice and for not being anyone's choice... sad... huhuhu

    But seriously I am happy... Got no choice but to be one...

    There´s no such thing as the perfect partner but there exists the right partner for you. You just have to look harder because he may have taken the wrong turn on his way to you. I was a happy single despite the pressure from family and friends/co-workers until I found the right guy for me and I never regretted waiting for him that long. :)

    When its february many are getting flustered and frustrated just because theyre single but as you said there are other people out there whom we can receive and give love. Life is so beautiful to be sulking about being single. We dont have to be pressure because waiting for that special someone is also fun.

    So true...I have been single for almost as long as Greys Anatomy xD and I used to be very stressed about it...thinking what is wrong with me...but I figure out...it is exactly what you wrote..and I am really happy now...I believe that if you need someone to be happy..you can´t be happy at all...you must be happy with and by yourself...that´s the most important thing. Love it will come.

    naman! so senti. but seriously, sometimes it just happens when you least expect it. it's like trying to find a certain kind of shoes in the mall that you can't find. then when you don't need it anymore, or when you don't have the money, nor the intention to buy, bam! it's there.

    I agree, when things are right you'll be in a relationship, but until that happens enjoy being single. I was having a blast being single when I met my husband and I never thought I'd get married so young or so quickly, but like you said the world has a way of preparing you for when it's time.

    finally someone said the right words... minsan I want to slap someone else's face for being ignorant.
    Bakit single ka pa din?
    Bakit hindi ka pa nag aasawa?

    Hindi magugunaw ang mundo kung mamatay akong single.
    Hindi babaliktad ang oras kung hindi pa ako nag aasawa.
    At mas lalong wala kayong paki kung ano gusto ko sa buhay ko...

    wahhh ang bitter but I love what you wrote.. super agree

    "You are single because you are single. Simple as that." And it doesn't mean you don't believe "in Happy Endings"

    Love your thoughts, dear..and I super agree. :) I'm not single anymore, but there was a point in my life that I was happy that I experienced it..sometimes, we try so hard to look for that "special someone" only to end up finding more frogs than our prince. Haha! It's important to know and love yourself first and be happy whether you are single or with someone else. Sabi nga nila, God is writing our love story...therefore it is and will be perfect, in HIS own time. :)

    Good luck to your fairy tale, too! Advance happy hearts' day! :)

    Being single is not a big issue for me. I’m no Derek Christopher Sheperd in terms of looks and I’m no Derek Ramsey in terms of physique, but I’m confident of myself, not in an arrogant way, but over the years I’ve come to accept and like myself, and faced the fact that I am me, I’m not the best, but I can strive to be a better person.

    Life has rendered my heart and soul so frustrated that I’ve lost so much opportunities when I was younger. Ngayon ako bumabawi, and to be able to achieve those dreams and goals, I need to walk down that path ALONE. I’m not saying that a lover can be a hassle, pero magbabago talaga ang diskarte mo. Okay fine, basag trip talaga kapag may syota ka na iba ang gusto niyang mangyari.

    Ang relationship pa man din eh kailangan i-cultivate- that means time, effort, sentiments, and resources.

    That’s why I think I don’t feel the need of to be in a relationship right now. I leave everything to God.

    Remember in the Bible, Adam busied himself with his task- putting things to order and naming all species. But when God noticed that he was starting to get lonely and the need of a partner came, He made the perfect one who will complete him.

    And I think we should all busy ourselves in completing the task the Good Lord gave us, and when we have fulfilled our calling I know God will give the right man or woman in our life, regardless of your age and status. Love knows no age. I’m not afraid to fall in love at 30, 40 or 50. Alam ko, kung mahal mo ang isang tao, everything else doesn’t matter. It’s all about the two of you.

    But for the mean time- I AM SINGLE, not because I’m ugly or fat, but because I choose to be so and I would like to write my first novel, sing more songs, party more, learn new skills, and be responsible.

    And I know in the end I’ll live happily ever after.

    Life is good!

    Just what I needed to hear. I've been single, for the better part of my life and I am starting to resent it. But I want to believe that soon I will find love too, the one that is meant for me, one that I deserve. For now, I'd look at the bright side of being single. Great post dear :)

    Not because we are single doesn't mean na bitter na tayo. And para sa akin ay hindi na issue ang pagiging single. Ano ba paki nila sa choice ko, haha. And naniniwala akong may isang tao na para sa atin. Enjoy lang ang buhay.

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C
