Everyone craves to have that one perfect love..Who doesn't, right?
I've talked to a lot of people, met a lot of earthlings, and observed the metro go round, (in my several bouts of coffee-ing and counting human beings session by myself) I feel like they, we exert so much effort, just to get to that #relationshipgoals they can post in the social networking sites. What has come to our dear romantic side? Is it just within the confines of our social sites that we can see happy couples, sweet gestures, genuine kilig, guys making ligaw sa bahay of the ate, and making sibak the kahoy for the ate's family (not the ate ang sisibakin). Kidding aside, I dont know when was the turning point of humanity, to be so digital about everything, including love and ligawan portion.
Personally, before, I wasn't really a fan of ligawan stage. Mainly because, if I know i like someone, I dont want the period wherein, the guy should prove something to the girl, because that would be so sexist. Love is a two way street, both sexes should prove to each other that they are equally smitten by each other, to be together..officially. I once thought that girls also have the right to court a guy they like..because it's not just males, who can buy gifts, travel long just to see their lovey, bring flowers, and profess love in a very nakakakilig manner. that's just me, and my crazy ideas.
Anyway, back to what I was ranting about..As a single earthling who has been 'entertaining' other earthlings about professing their dire intent to court me, I noticed something..regardless of their age group, they are rushing to be with someone. It's like they just want to get over with the courting phase and be with the girl they got eye on. If they don't get the answer that they want from me, they move on..That has been the trend. Maybe that's why I don't want to jump into a relationship..because I'm afraid that someone I like would be the same as anybody else..madali maka move on pag di nakuha yung gusto.
Recently, I attended a family (incl family friends) dinner date. Some of the titas, including my mom actually, are teasing me that I might be a shiberbeley because I haven't been in a relationship for how many years now. Naisip ko, tama naman sila..hindi yung tomboy part ah!part where I haven't been seeing anyone, whom I brought home to meet them. Anong magagawa ko? Guys nowadays, just come and go. Who doesn't want to have that perfect love, right? I do too,but I'm not in a rush to be with anyone, just because I'm alone for a few years, and that my mother wants apo already.
Naisip ko din, parang ang bilis ng takbo ng oras, compared noong 90's. Parang lahat nagmamadali, lahat gusto kong gumalaw, umusad agad agad. Parang wala nang today..wala nang present. It's like we're living in a thin line between yesterday and tomorrow. A place where everyone's either stuck reminiscing the past and the others rushing, preparing to wake up the next day. It's as if we don't have the luxury of just enjoying the day, because everyone has agenda in mind, for the following days, weeks,and months. Minsan napapagod na akong mag isip kung meron pa nga bang tao na kapareho kong mag isip.kapareho kong baliw na gustong manatili bilang tao, hindi bilang robot. Hindi ko alam kung makakatagpo pa ba ako ng nilalang na gusto rin ng pagmamahal na hinahanap ko, ng fluffy earthling na pareho kami ng depinisyon ng pag-ibig. Ay feeling ko pala wala! dahil what's love for me is something exotic! Something out of this world, something that came from the bosom of our vast universe. Love is a miraculous force that drives everything even invisible things without a steering wheel. Charot!
Going back to how digitalized love is nowadays, I would still want to retain my faith in humanity...that someday, not everyone will be rushing to meet the right person, but strive to be the right person for someone. haaaaay, now I want a bottle of beer, and some crazy beer buddy to talk to about the how vast our universe is, and if life outside Earth is really possible..because why not, right? we might be a version of aliens in another planet, or galaxy!
