"Bestfriend"

Ang salitang ginagamit para di mahalatang may 'something' ang dalawang magkaibigan na opposite sex.

Sasabihing magbestfriend sila pero sa totoo lang, 'more than friends' ang turingan. Minsan pa nga 'friends with benefits' pa ang relasyon.

Bakit "bestfriend" pa ang napili nila? Kasi ba mas inosenteng pakinggan keysa sa MU o BF-GF?

Naniniwala ba kayong wala nang tunay na magbestfriend lang sa panahon natin ngayon?

Lahat na ba ng magbestfriend na opposite sex ngayon ay magjowa?

"Wala na!"

"Oo nga, wala na."

Ako kasi naniniwala pa akong meron pa. Bakit? Kasi living proof kami ng bestftriend kong si Vince. We've been bestfriends since who-knows-when. Oo, nagkaroon ako ng feelings para sakanya na more than friends. Pero you know what I did?

Tinimbang ko kung ano ang mas mabigat, ang relationship namin as bestfriends o ang kagustuhan kong maging boyfriend ko siya.

Ang daming uncertainties sa dalawang choices ko. Ang daming 'what if's'!

What if, may feelings din pala siya para sa akon pero gaya kong nalilito.

What if, one sided lang talaga to?

What if, masira ang relasyon namin kapag naghangad pa ako ng higit pa.

What if, ito ang magsisimula ng malaking gap sa relasyon namin?

What if, ako yung dahilan kung bakit nasira ang pagkakaibigan namin?

Ang daming mga tanong, mga possibilities na mahirap masagot. It's a decision that will forever change my life.

So sa tingin niyo anong pinili ko?

"Edi maging boyfriend mo siya!"

"Malamang yung mag remain silang magbestfriend! Para san pa tong talk na to kung yung maging magjowa sila ang pinili niya diba? Duhh!"

Hahahaha! Oo nga naman, may point ka dun Chesea.

Loko loko talaga tong si Chelsea.
Oo, nasa parang seminar ako about sa mga ganitong bagay.

Hoy hoy hoy!! Di dahil gusto ko ah?! Hinigit lang ako ng pinsan ko dito. Take note, 'hinigit' as in literally hinila lang ako papunta dito! Kung di nga nakakahiya baka kinaladkad niya pa ako. Naka pangbahay pa nga ako hanggang ngayon e!!! Ughhh!!! Childish cousin!! Ack! Buti nalang maayos suot ko.

With this talk, I've come to a realization.
Tip #10: You just have to realize the difference. There's a difference between falling in love with someone, and finding someone attractive and interesting. Just because you think a person is attractive, fun or really wonderful doesn't mean you love them. Perhaps, you've just assumed that what you feel is 'love' when it could just be 'admiration'. After all, there is nothing wrong in thinking a particular person is wonderful, and there's no rule that forces you to fall in love with everyone who seems wonderful. For all you know, the happy feeling you experience when you meet this person could just be admiration for them, and not necessarily love.

Frank is not hard to love. He is physically attractive so does his attitude. Napaka gentleman pero maloko. Sweet pero annoying. Caring pero bully. He's responsible like a man but he never lets go of the child inside him.

Do I really love Frank more than a friend, or I just find him attracting kasi he's the first guy na nakaclose ko nang sobra aside from my cousins and barkada?
