I do not know if I should be working on this post. At least for now. Me? Ever write about pretensions? Something very different. But, why not give it a whole lot of try?
Pretend…
that life is always worth living…
that it is a great great thing even though you are jobless or the thought of money always gives you headache…
Pretend…
that life matters…
even though every people you encounter everyday are either corny, high-tempered, trying-hard or difficult.
Pretend…
that life is oh-so-funny even though nothing, precisely nothing, ever sinks in. Don’t dig. Just pretend… that life… is simply a day there is after a day.
Pretend.
I say, “Pretend.”
That life is oh-so-meaningful even though you haven’t enjoyed it a bit.
And pretend, that every person is oh-so-nice even though at the back of your mind, they SUCK!
Pretend.
That life is all about this even though you think that there should be something more to this.
Pretend.
That you are happy.
Show the world that you are.
Brag about it.
C’mon. It is just a sixteen-hour job each day. Not that hard.
Pretend to be what you are not. A human being that you are.
Show the world what you are not.
You need this.
Don’t take this hard.
Because LIFE IS A DRAMA. =)
. . . . .
. . . . . . . . .
How do you like it? ;p
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Besides, you have the rest of the night to be yourself. (Except of course when you have an overnight affair there to attend.) Then you lose the behind the scenes for the day.
All right when the clock strikes that it is time to sleep, then you can be who you are. In your room. When no one can see you.

I took that from one of the private messages of Ms. Cherie, Class 1998 Kaydet Girl. I envy Audrey of Tayong Dalawa. She is having lots of time with JR. She must be happy with that!LOL!
I always love this portion of the piece, When God Created the Kaydet Girl.
Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord’s creation. “There’s a leak,” she announced. “It’s a tear,” the angel continued, “what is it there for?”
The Lord looked puzzled and softly said, “I did not put it there.” (Mariel D. Dueñas)

I thought it was a fine day. Clearance went somehow smoothly unlike last semester when the students and their parents wanted to burn the whole school. I arrived in school just in time for the meeting. We ended after almost three hours. Then went back to the office to do some compliance, had some chat with the other officers. Then left the school at around five-thirty in the afternoon. Before exiting the gate I met the activities officer and asserted about the “pending” documents that we are required to submit. It gave me a headache. We have submitted all the documents, including all the raw files, way back last October and December, but he insisted that he did not receive any of those. When in fact, he was there at his office when I presented everything in a blue sealed folder with label. In addition to that, they approved of our activities last November, December and onwards simply because we were able to submit all the necessary documents of the previous activities. Yet here comes April and they are again demanding for the files that were actually turned in to them long before.
MISPLACED!
MISMANAGED!
Where did they put our documents?
Then they are asking us to reproduce everything!
Afterwards, my fellow officers and I went to the mall. After going to the Supermarket and to appliance center, we parted ways. I went to wireless center to pay for the internet bill, then to the bookstore to buy a couple of books for myself and for my brother, then to the department store for a pair of slippers for my youngest brother. I exhausted myself looking for the best pair for my beloved baby brother. Then after about 40 minutes, I finally decided which to buy. I left the mall at about eight-thirty and waited for a bus for about ten minutes. I was already tired by the time I loaded in the bus, yet I was satisfied because I would be able to bring something home for my brothers. I thought to myself, what a fine day. I was even thinking of a topic to write about in my blog when I arrive home, and definitely not this one. But my motivation changed after my mom blurted something - thing she heard from someone, whether reliable or not. It caused me a total headache. I decided to go to my room, turn on the computer and log in and release whatever emotion I have.
It is just sad that there are people who think of others as if they [others] are totally evil, soulless and there is no more goodness left in their system. They talk in a way showing that other people have no dignity at all because of their actions that displeased them.
Well, to those who were displeased with what I have done, and if ever I have hurt you or anyone close to you…
Sorry…
Sorry na lang kayo!
Haha!

This is the highlight of my conversation with C.P., a guy I met more than two years ago. He is 28 years old and just had a bitter break up with a girlfriend of almost seven years. He had a six-year-old son from a different woman.
Although love is indeed magical and mysterious, it leaves most of the people not-so-lucky.
To cite a few examples: (No one is so lucky in love.)
Situation no. 1: You are truly, madly, deeply in love with someone, but that person DOES NOT love you.
Situation no. 2: You are in a seemingly ideal relationship with someone, but you are not genuinely happy.
Situation no. 3: You are in a relationship with the person you love more than anyone else, but that person loves you back only for what you have and what you can give.
Situation no. 4: You are in love with someone, but that person is in love with someone else.
Situation no. 5: You are in love with someone, but you are afraid to lose the friendship with the person.
Situation no. 6: You are in love with someone but your family is not in favor of him/her.
Situation no. 7: You want to be in a relationship with someone but there is no chance that the person will ever like you because you are two worlds apart.
Situation no. 8: You are in a relationship with someone but you have to withstand humiliation, disappointment and disapproval of people around you.
Situation no. 9: You are perfect for each other but you two have little time for each other.
Situation no. 10: You are in love with each other but you two are miles and miles away from each other.
Situation no. 11:There are many persons who are interested in you but the person you want is not one of them.
Situation no. 12: You two are in love with each other but one or both of you are prohibited by parents to enter into a relationship.
Situation no. 13: You two are in love with each other but no one is willing to fight for it because of wounded pride.
Situation no. 14: You two love each other but both of you are committed to some other people and “breaking up is hard to do”.
Situation no. 15: You are presently in a relationship with someone but that person is not yet over his/her past relationship/s.
Situation no. 16: You two want to be together but it just doesn’t work.
Ladies and gentlemen, please feel absolutely free to add more things that you can think of.
Thanks!
P.S. I have very little experience when it comes to love but I hope it made any sense. Nevertheless, I want to ask help from you by giving some comments.

Peter Pan, my childhood fantasy, would have to say, “If you want to fly, think of happy thoughts!”
By this I was inspired to write about the simple things that can make my day.
I am not much of a socialite. Stay-at-home would be fine for as long as I have the things that can give me simple joy.
A book to read. Anything that piques my interest and imagination at the moment. Reading is a sure way to escape reality. My collection ranges from classics to contemporary literature. Book shopping would do good as well.
Internet connection. There are quite a few yet important reasons why I go online. First is to update my blog, second is to check other people’s sensible blogs, third is to check and reply to e-mails, and fourth is to have a little chat. These are the basic things that I do with the Internet.
Something to cook or eat. I love Italian food but I also do try to cook and taste other delicacies. Leave me with enough materials and ingredients and surely I, or we, would survive. Not to set aside fruit juice. I love a variety of fruit juice.
Basketball. Who would have thought that a girl like me would love to play basketball? I do go solo most of the time and practice shooting. Sports is a good way to maintain a considerable figure and good health.
Oatmeal and cereal drink. Whew! If you want me to be happy, then make sure to supply the kitchen with enough of those. I love to eat delicious food. Who doesn’t? Oatmeal and cereal would keep my body free from excessive cholesterol and toxins.
Red wine. I love red wine. It is not that I am alcoholic or a drunkard. It is just that I feel that red wine gives me energy when I need it, or gives me a good deep sleep, whenever I need it as well. Ironic.
A good conversation. Whether it be with the family, a friend or a boyfriend. Nothing can be better than a heart-to-heart talk with someone special to you. Although there are only a few people with whom I can talk to freely. Counting them, less than ten. All the others I still have to meet along the way. I did not search for them; I prayed for them and they came.
All these for now, I may come across something more later.
