RB: Both Feet Forward
Most guys tend to trick girls into wanting them for all the wrong reasons. With each one’s best foot forward during courtship, they show 10% of their selves and brush the remaining 90% of who they really are under the carpet (sorry for ratting our side out guys).
Some affectionately refer to it as “changing for that special someone”. I believe it’s more of “forcing the wrong issue” and paying for it in the long run.

Me: Dude. After 3 years! Why break up all of a sudden?
Friend: We’re just not compatible man. It’s like, looking back at all that time together, I think we never really were.
Me: What do you mean?
Friend: The way she thinks, how she doesn’t get me most of the time, just who she is in general. Rest assured we could work it out if I wanted to give it another shot but I’m almost certain we won’t last that long anyway until the next hump. I guess nagsawa narin kami with each other.
Me: Mm.. Arighty then.

I have an idea that most relationships tend to not work out because the imperfections that were so conveniently concealed during courtship sooner or later stick out like sore thumbs. And when they do, LOVE is tested (bear with the cheese please, I believe I’m onto something here).
Age old question: What the freak is Love?
We all know what it is technically (a sort of feeling) but what we’re really concerned about when asking the question is “how love should be”. It’s funny how most of us right now (choose to) believe that this is one mystery that shall never be solved. We all wait for the next wittiest definition of this feeling we all are so fond of (ex. Love is blind, Love makes the world go ‘round, Love is a many splendored thing etc). It’s become one of those questions people would flail out during trivial conversations all the while never expecting an all-encompassing and conclusive reply. Well, if we all would’ve known where to look…
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
-Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, it is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS.

If there’s one thing I got out of this ever-popular passage from the Bible, it’s that a relationship that doesn’t last was never really a relationship founded in love. Lust maybe. Infatuation moreso. But nope, not love.
Most guys would rather leave it all to the uncertain and free-fall into infatuation leaving behind their left feet. I’d like to think I’m not one of them. See, I’d rather not jump on this bandwagon. I’d rather be certain of who I’d end up with.
We call it preventive maintenance in IE. As opposed to repairing something that is broken, why not just make sure that it doesn’t break down in the first place? No, I’m not being picky. I’m just learning from past mistakes, both mine and others. Besides, it’s just as much for her as it is for me.
Just a thought…
