Life is indeed beautiful, as what I expected. I have everything in my hands and I’d get what I want.

Pero sa buhay, may mga pinagpala at ang iba nama’y hindi. Minsan naman ay buhat ng determinasyon at mga pangarap akung kaya’t nagsusumikap ang iba para guminhawa sa higpit ng kapit ng buhay.


Ganoon naman talaga ang buhay. Hindi pantay-pantay ang lahat kung kaya’t rason din ito kung bakit nagkakagulo ang iba.


Kapag maayos ang buhay mo’y masasabi mo ngang pinagpala ka. Pero kapag magulo naman ay masasabi mong hindi. Pero ang iba nama’y kuntento na sa kung anong meron sila. At iyon ay higit na.


“Happy anniversary, babe!” Paul said, slightly screaming. He handed me a beautiful bouquet of red roses before pulling me closer to him to give me a tight hug. He, then, kissed my forehead.

I have been in a relationship with Paul for 3 years now. And I couldn’t ask for more but to spend more years with him.


He is too good to be true. Well, I can say that, he is a candidate to every girl so called ‘ideal guy’. And I’m glad that he’s mine.


“Happy anniversary, too.” I replied. “where do you want to go so we can celebrate our anniversary?” I asked.

“You’re tired, right? It’s okay with me if can’t celebrate it today, babe.” He said. “Mas okay sa akin na makapagpahinga ka muna.” Dagdag niya pa.


“Let’s just have a simple dinner with my family, Paul.”

“Anything you want, babe.” he whispered and kissed my forehead again.

“What’s with the simple dinner?” my mother asked.

“It’s our anniversary, mom.” I replied. She, then, flashes a smile with so much admiration from her eyes.

“Mas lalo tayong tumatagal, ah.” My dad said joyfully. “Baka saan na ito mapunta, ah.” he even joked.

And I want to add that he look healthy today. But I like to think more that he can effortlessly joke around about my relationship with Paul. Para bang hindi big deal sa kanya o sa kanila ni Mama na itali kaming dalawa ni Paul.

Kahit noon pa man ay suportado na ang mga pamliya namin ni Paul sa relasyon naming dalawa. Walang problema kahit sa pamilya niya pa. Para bang tama lang ang lahat ng ito sa akin na pakiramdam ko’y maling-mali na.

It’s so surreal that I almost foresee our future together. But it doesn’t end there. For you can’t really say that you’re fortunate to the things that yet to happen because everything’s still not sure.

Sa buhay na ito, hindi lahat ng bagay ay may kasiguraduhan at hindi lahat ay aayon sa kung anong gusto mo. Oo, pwede mo namang ipaglaban kasi hindi naman masamang lumaban. Pero uuwi ka bang may tagumapay pagkatapos ng laban o uuwi kang talunan?

Hindi tayo sigurado diba? Kasi tao lang tayo at hindi natin alam ang lahat. Tao lang tayo at pwede tayong magkamali. At tao lang tayo kaya hindi perpekto ang lahat sa atin.

Accept the fact that we are just human and we are sometimes fortunate and sometimes not. Swerte ka kung swerte ka palagi.

But for me, everything’s not yet sure. Because…

“Alona! Alona!” was the first thing I heard the moment I open my eyes to wake up.

“Alona!” my whole system alerted after another call.
