Talk is cheap. Anybody can say “I’m sorry”, “I love you”, “I’ll be here for you” with little to no sincerity at all. It’s infuriating how vulnerable one can be against tender words like that and especially if used by one who is precious to them.

Talk is cheap. Especially when you say “I’m sorry” after the damage has been done. Sometimes, late reactions and apologies are better left unsaid.

Talk is cheap and nothing except actions could ever make up for the wounds inflicted, the choices made and the heart shattered.

And nothing else matters.  This is the last time I’ll be speaking of this, because after all, talk is cheap.

Shakespeare could not have said it any better through Puck, his tongue in cheek character from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Lord, what fools we mortals be!” And indeed, only love can turn sane, logical and intelligent people into weepy, devastated blithering idiots. You can’t learn love but you live it and you can’t talk your way out of being in love no matter how good you are in public speaking or writing.

They say that intelligent people are the ones who are dumbest (and unluckiest) in love. After all, who needs a brain when a person falls in love? There is after all, “love at first sight” so logic rarely if ever plays a part in the phenomenon of falling in love. So in a way, simple people are lucky because they just “feel” it– smart and complicated people on the other hand spend too much time nitpicking, analyzing, worrying and trying to comprehend whether or not they have indeed fallen in love (or had a mental breakdown).

My bestfriend, Gus and I describe ourselves as simple people with complicated thoughts so while we fall in love like the rest of the mortal race– we also tend to overanalyze. We overcomplicate cut and dried matters because we don’t want to be “fools in love”. And more often then not, we end up being each other’s movie date. *sobs*

So last Sunday, after a movie of non-stop action and booty shots (which was endless!)– Gus and I discussed our views on love and how it changed since our college days. Back then, we were both hopeless romantics out to find the “ONE”. The process was fairly easy but finding the prince among frogs was another story. Read the rest of this entry »

I feel as though my head is being split in two– I barely got 5 hours of sleep last night and I haven’t had the chance to get decent sleep since last Saturday. Aside from the headache currently plaguing me, I’m also quite bothered/disturbed/confounded actually.

Last night, I met up with friends and colleagues. It was fun really and it was so great to ctach up after months of not seeing each other. The thing is, they’re all up to date with what’s going on in me life but they actually asked me if I was actually dating this other guy. And my reaction was like, “Huh????” I was shocked–I was pretty much speechless for a minute since I didn’t know how to proceed. Read the rest of this entry »
