fRom the 4 coRneRs of my mind II

I love Christmas. It’s my favorite time of the year. I love giving presents and I love receiving them. I love good food. I’m living the good life.

My cousins and I are truly blessed. We always have good food to eat and we can afford capricious indulgence. We’re not rich, just lucky.

It’s been a tough year. I’m looking forward to a better one: new challenges to face; new difficulties to overcome. "2007 Abbey" is a bolder version to last year’s model; more resilient, hoping to me more efficient.

I have resigned myself to my fate. Not the hopeless-suicidal kind, but the optimistic-this-is-my-year-I’m-on-a-roll- streak- kind. The highs and the lows, all the drama, it’s all part of life. If anything happens, good, bad or otherwise, it’s simply meant to be.

After buckets and buckets of tears, getting hurt, breaking up, getting back together, hurting people along the way, and then getting hurt all over again, I’d go back for a hundred more. Why? Because it’s meant to be.

I’ve read somewhere that if we don’t live our lives knowing without a reasonable doubt or fear that everything that happens in our life was meant to be, then we’ll be asking ourselves too many questions, too many times. Life is short. No time for inner battles and disturbing questions. And who wants that?

I have eaten Kare-kare for three straight days now. I’m not complaining. Few people would have it so good. I have it stupendous.

Everybody cheats. Don’t pretend to be a self-righteous priss. I’m sure that at some point in your life, you have cheated. Cheating is not confined to that done during exams. It may mean that you have deceived someone, or that you’ve broken the rules to gain an advantage, or that you have been unfaithful to someone. Some cheat in bigger ways than others. My point is, everyone is a cheat.

I think that of all the cheats I’ve mentioned above, I find unfaithfulness to be most abhorrent. I have guy pals who incessantly cheat on their girls, and I have gal pals who have done or are doing the same to their guys.

I’ve been told that people cheat because they found someone else they like better than the person they are with right now. I think that’s lame. I also think that the guy who said that is sick in the head. If that’s the case, why not dump one for the other instead? Or would that also qualify as cheating?

I’ve heard two contrary opinions on a span of 24 hours regarding the topic from two guys. Incidentally, magkasunod yung birthday nila.

Guy one says that it’s not cheating if you really like the person you are cheating with.

Guy two says that it’s not cheating if there are no feelings involved.

Both guys are authorities on cheating though I can’t say that they’ve been very successful. They’ve already been caught, dissed and dismissed, and are currently trying to find the path to true love.

So which is it??

I’ve cheated, been cheated on, and cheated with. I don’t wan’t to do it again. Guess that’s why I’m neurotic enough to be posting this on my blog.

It took one look
and forever lay out in front of me,
one smile then i died
only to be revived by you
there i was, thought i had everything figured out
goes to show just how much i know
about the way life plays out

i take one step, away
and i find myself coming back to you,
my one and only,
one and only you
ooOooh

now i know, that i know not a thing at all
‘cept the fact that i am yours
and that you are mine…oOh
you told me that this wouldn’t be easy
and though i’m not one to complain

i take one step, away
and i find myself coming back to you,
my one and only,
one and only
i take one step, away
and i find myself coming back to you,
my one and only,
one and only you
