Shoelace

Hindi tayo si Popoy at si Basha. Tapos na akong umasa na sana ako nalang. Sana ako nalang ulit. Lunod na ako sa kamandag ng serbesang naging kaibigan ko sa malulungkot na mga gabi; Puwing na sa hindi pagkurap sa kaka-antay ng mensahe na kailanma’y hindi naman muling dumating; Pagod na. Parang isang lumang orasan na naubusan ng baterya sa kahahabol ng bawat segundo. Manhid na sa sakit; Wala nang maramdaman.

I love you day and night, to stars and everything out of sight. You are my light in the darkest of days, you bring color to my life for I only see shades of gray. For my love to you knows no bounds, a love that's sincere and true. I love you day by day and it keeps stronger everyday. I love you, Bernadette.

“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question.”

"I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more"

"There is some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what."

"I read several dozen stories a year from miserable, lonely guys who insist that women won’t come near them despite the fact that they are just the nicest guys in the world. ...I’m asking what do you offer? Are you smart? Funny? Interesting? Talented? Ambitious? Creative? OK, now what do you do to demonstrate those attributes to the world? Don’t say that you’re a nice guy — that’s the bare minimum. 'Well, I’m not sexist or racist or greedy or shallow or abusive! Not like those other douchebags!' I’m sorry, I know that this is hard to hear, but if all you can do is list a bunch of faults you don’t have, then back the fuck away. ...Don’t complain about how girls fall for jerks; they fall for those jerks because those jerks have other things they can offer. 'But I’m a great listener!' Are you? Because you’re willing to sit quietly in exchange for the chance to be in the proximity of a pretty girl (and spend every second imagining how soft her skin must be)? Well guess what, there’s another guy in her life who also knows how to do that, and he can play the guitar. Saying that you’re a nice guy is like a restaurant whose only selling point is that the food doesn’t make you sick. You’re like a new movie whose title is This Movie Is in English, and its tagline is 'The actors are clearly visible.'"
