Love, its definition and a little portion of advice

What is that one word that can unite people? That powerful, one word that can unfroze the heart that once has ice-covered and tough like a stone? That one word that can relieve pain, causes pain and foremost, the one word that causes heartache and sometime, DEATH. That word which has countless and inexact definition. That one word which is defined based on how they experience and express it. That one word is no other than LOVE.

Some says that LOVE is a language spoken by everyone but understood only by the heart. Robert A. Heinlein delimits love as a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. “Love lets you find those hidden places in another person; even the ones they didn’t know were there, even the ones they wouldn’t have thought to call beautiful themselves,” speaks Wild Awake. These are some of the definitions of love when searched in the Google. See? Andaming definition ng love. Four letters, one syllable and yet no one can define it exactly kasi sabi nga nila, love is undefined. It is just felt and experienced by the heart.

True love comes effortlessly for those who don’t want to experience it. It plays hide – and – seek for those who are eager to have it. See how frisky true love is? And this is one of the reasons why many people get hurt. They haste into wrong love and didn’t dare to wait for true love to come kasi nga daw malilipasan na sila ng panahon (choss! Dami nilang alam). Kung gaano mapaglaro ang tadhana gano’n din ang love. But then one of my friends asked, “Pa’no mo malalaman na in love ka?” I asked the same question to myself and not a word came out of my brain. So, I searched it on Google and Dr. Seuss said that “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” And another is “You really love him, don’t you? a simple psychological question, no name was mentioned but suddenly someone came into your mind.”

Sabi nila masarap magmahal. It’s true. When you fall in love, you will also feel satisfaction, happiness, basta mixed emotions (yun na yun. Period!). Love is the twin of Pain. Kaya if you love, assume that you’ll be hurt. Because as they say, love without pain is just a game. When you love, mafefeel mo ‘yun bang lagi kang may ganang mag – aral at mamuhay kasi alam mong may taong laging anjan para sa’yo. Pero minsan, masyado tayong nagiging komportable na mahal na mahal tayo nang taong yun at hindi siya mapapagod sa’tin. Well, tanggalin natin yung thought na yun sa isipan natin. People are not like book na kahit hindi bigyang pansin laging anjan. In fact, they are like machines in the sense that they also get tired. They malfunction sometime (yung nagsusungit ganun pabago bagong mood ikanga nila). They also reached the point wherein they don’t want to run anymore (yun bang gusto na nilang sumuko dahil sa pagmamalabis mo). So, while that person who loves you so much is there, value him/ her. Show him/her how you love and care for him/her. Show them what you really feel. Don’t wait for the time na iwan ka nila. Because no matter how loud you shout and cry they won’t hear you anymore. Kahit languyin mo ang Mariana’s Trench…kahit liparin mo ang kalangitan…kahit abutin mo ang stars pati na solar system sa kalawakan…wala na siyang maririnig kasi desidido na siyang kalimutan ka. Yun kasi yung common mistake ng tao eh… “we will just learn to appreciate something when those were already gone.” Kasi nga repentance is always in the end.

May mga tao rin na sobrang nagpapakatanga sa love. Hindi na nga pinapansin…nagpapapansin pa rin. Kasi nga gusto mo siya di ba? But is it right for girls to make the first move? Sometimes it’s right. Kapag ba nag – away kayo ng mahal mo hahayaan mong siya ang mag sorry? Even if it’s yours or his fault you should lower your pride and be the one to say you’re sorry. It’s not kababawan. It’s one of the way to tell him that you don’t want to lose him. Hindi rin maganda kung pataasan kayo ng pride ng karelasyon mo. Ee di sana nagbidding na kayo. Pataasan ng pride tpos kung sino makakatiis siyang panalo. Ang tanong kaya mo bang tiisin ang mahal mo?

Kapag nagmahal tayo, we must learn to lower our pride. We must learn to appreciate efforts. Kahit maliit lang dapat iappreciate pa rin natin. And if you’re hurt by someone before, you must not be afraid to fall in love again. Dahil pag paiiralin mo ang takot takot na yan, you’ll never see how great the feeling of being in love and be loved. Kapag nagloko ka na dati, you must change. Dapat lang na magbago ka para sa taong minamahal mo ngayon. Sa isang love story daw minsan hindi maiiwasan ang torpe at manhid. Hindi magawang umamin at hindi rin magawang makaramdam. Pag puro na lang ganun, walang mangyayari sa love story nyo. You must take the risk. If rejected its okay at least umamin ka, if reciprocated, e di wow! Ikaw na ang may lablaypJ. I’m not saying to search for a perfect one para magkaroon ng perfect relationship, nobody’s perfect nga di ba? Dapat search for a perfectly imperfect one and make every moment perfect (parang nescafe diba?).

Dapat gano’n pag nagmahal ka, learn to lower your standards din. Hindi porket maganda ka gwapo din yung mamahalin mo. Kung kanino tumibok ang puso mo, gwapo man o hindi, so be it. Sa kanya mo naramdaman yung love eh. Kasi kapag mata ang pinairal mo, hindi na love yun, paghanga lang. Dapat din kung mas mataas ka babaan mo sarili mo, sabi nga ni Ma’am Eder, “sa isang relasyon, walang boss at walang secretary.” Dapat pantay lang kayong dalawa.

Ang love para ring mga tao, they come and go, hindi importante kung sino ang pinakamatagal, the most important is, you learned a lesson from each and that lesson must be buried and kept in the deepest trench of your heart. Love may have many and inexact definitions, but I believe that love is defined on how you express and experienced it. And I believe that love is powerful enough to heal a broken heart. After being broken, spend time with your friends most especially with your family their love will be the one to heal that pain your lover caused you. Isa lang din ang mapapayo ko, we must open up our life to our parents mos especially to our mothers because our mother can play the role of our friend, barkada, tropa, lover, bestfriend, teacher and more. But take this, NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THE ROLE OF YOUR MOM…NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY…THE ROLE WILL STILL BE PLAYED BEST BY YOUR MOM.

Hierarchy of Triumph

Doing lot of assignments, experiencing how to love and be in love, bullied by classmates, and supported and loved by teachers. This is some of my experiences in my high school life. High school life is fun, they say. I think it’s really fun but sometimes, I feel like it’s boring. How my life does go when I’m in high school? Let’s take a flashback when I’m still on my freshman and sophomore stage.

The first time I stepped on the portals of my chosen school, Luna National High School, I feel like there’s many butterfly in my stomach. I was nervous for this is my first time as a high school student. I think that my classmates are cruel, the teachers are sadist, and schoolmates are badly behaved. But I’m wrong. As days go passed by, I learned how to deal with my schoolmates, my teachers and most of all, with my classmates. They helped me in doing assignments, helped me in reviewing my lessons which I didn’t understand. And this was the time wherein I met my best friend.

Sophomore stage, my classmates are still the same, but some take a step down and some of the students which is on the section following us take a step up. I feel bad for my classmates which is now on the other section because most of them are my friends and of course happy, at the same time because I have new friends. On this stage, our section was divided into 4: the Wilab, Bhoksx, JAMSVERG, and the Dota Experts. But before the school year ends, we fixed it and we name our group Vibes Gang and it happened on the 17^th day of January that’s why 17 is our friends’ anniversary date.

My first two years in this institution is quite good. My classmates and I built lot of memories. We laughed and laughed like there’s no tomorrow. But I feel quite sad because it means that there is only two years remaining of stay on this school. Here’s a tour on my junior stage.

On this stage, we will experience the so – called JS Promenade. An activity which is for Junior and Senior students, this activity includes the transferring of responsibility of the Senior President to the Junior President because it signals that the end of their stay is approaching. It also includes the 20 dances of the students and 1 dance with their parents. On the 14^th day of February 2014, “the day for the couples” as others says for it was Valentine’s Day. On the first dance which is for our parents and the students, I danced with my Grandpa. And the second dance which is student to student, I danced with my guy, Reynante Baniaga. For me, that was the happiest moment in my junior stage.

This is the last 10 months of stay in this school. But then, I and my classmates built many memories. Of course, as we face our college life, we will never forget each other because they were my best friends. They lift me up when all of the people around me pulls me down. They make me smile because of their weirdest jokes. They inspire me to be a good friend not just to them but all of the people around us. Our teachers’ unending support of whatever we do, in whatever decision we made will never be forgotten but always be in a secret pocket on our hearts wherein no one could steal.

Every memory in this school will never be forgotten, in fact, it’ll be treasured forever. Because this is the very first time I feel like my life is complete. I have lot of friends, lovable teachers, supportive family, and most of all, my path guider, Jesus. This is the second hierarchy of triumph in my life.
