Even Time Could Fly

    10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... Time's up!

    Pressured? Well, you don't have to worry. There's neither an exam nor a challenge for you to meet within 60-second circle. Look; we are not playing inside the "Minute to Win It" studio. Yet, here lies the fact that everyone is within a setting spiced up with time pressure.The only difference is each of us is given with abundant time to do anything we want. No specific task to do. As in no pressure at all. It's the way how you use time paramaters that counts.

                                                    

   During the days where there was no definite medium of telling time, ancient men used to based it on the specific point where sun rays struck. If this was not the case, sun and moon were their time modifiers, which is still a general way of representing the division of two time frames---the day and night. But due to the geniuses of former generations of men, exact time is made even possible as clock was invented. With this, people are able to manage various tasks one at a time. Of how efficient or productive do people use time we'll be the real talk here.

                                                   

   You know what, of how long we exist is the measurement of how long does time play important roles in our lives. Existensially, we can't see it but technically speaking, time serves as guideline for everything we do. Imagine that the idea of time is absent. It feels like we're so unsure. We don't know whether we're too slow or fast on doing something. Or if we put equal priority to various tasks. Thus, it's a good thing that we have it. Ideally, there will be less incidents of cramming that might happen. Also, efficiency can be achieved.

   As one of the innumerable people who use it, I must say that I used to waste time at some parts of my life. And as what is run-of-the-mill, I used to procrastinate too. Mind you, there's always a thin line connecting long period of time and multiple tasks. Come to think of this: the longer the time period, the less tasks are accomplished. While, the shorter the time, the more tasks are made. Seemingly, it's because we tend to take long period of time for granted. We postpone doing things due to the notion that there's another day to accomplish those. Yet, as that other day came, nothing was made. See? So in the end, we'll realize how idiot were we for wasting all our time opportunities. Sometimes, we used to put the blame on someone or something. But the real thing is, it's us who made the fault.   

                                                

   Meanwhile, we tend to control time. Yes; we could probably control time by adjusting our clocks five minutes late or advanced, but still it's useless. Besides, who's the one who looks gullible here? It's us definitely! We tend to go through uncertainties because of our improper use of time, for forgetting how short life is and how fast time is, too. 

                                             

   I can still recall the film which thought me the real essence of time. "Click" is the title of the film. In the story, there's a man who was so dedicated to his job to the point that he forgot the reason why he's doing it---his family. He didn't even bond with them. What he wanted was to be promoted in his work. Until one day, he was given with a magic remote control by an Angel of Death. Through the remote control, he was able to pass forward time to his promotion. In short, he was able to control time. But of course, every action bears a consequence. He lost his family and; he got into the point that he had to leave in this world. From that, he realized what really matters. That it's his family. It just happened as he found out that all that happened to him was a dream. As he woke up from deep sleep, he rectifies all his flaws especially the improper use of time. 

   If cogitated, we don't even know when everything will come to an end. Will you want to be within a scene wherein you're almost at the dead end or point of no return? And though you want to do the U-turn approach, it's impossible? Well, that's the consequence of our irrational behavior towards time. So, while we have ample time, make sure that we've done all important things first. Remember, in our journey, we'll used to encounter signage stating "No U-turn!". Thus, this implies that we should be rational enough on seizing up time. We cannot bring back all those wasted seconds, minutes, and hours of our lives. 

                                    

   You know why? It's because even time could fly.

  Ang Sabi Ni Hopeless Romantic...

(Confessions of A Hopeless Romantic)

   "Palagi siyang nasa panaginip ko. Anumang gawing paglimot, di siya mawala-wala sa isip ko. Nakatatak na siya dito."

   Daig niya ang mantsa sa tindi niyang kumapit sa puso't isip ko. Isang mantsang kahit anong pilit na pagtanggal, matindi ang kapit. Hanggang sa siya'y maging tatak na di na mabura-bura. Isang tatak na palaging nagpapaala-ala sa aking kumplikadong istorya. Tatak na may pulso...tatak sa aking puso. 

              

   Paano kung mag-transform ang lahat ng mga nakasanayan mo sa isang peculiar ambiance, tapos ikaw walang ideya sa kung anong nagaganap? As in clueless ka. Ang hirap 'no? Puro adjustments. Gaya ko. Parang dati lang, ang lahat ay ordinary. Simple o payak. Humihinga ako at patuloy na tumitibok ang puso ko. Ni minsan, di ko nga inakalang magfa-falter ang aking heartbeat na gaya ng nangyayari ngayon. Lahat ng ito nabago dahil sa kanya...siya na laman ng bawat panaginip ko. Siya na gugustuhin kong makasama sa mahabang panahon.

   Alam mo yung pakiramdam na nakasama mo yung taong gustong-gusto mong makasama tapos ang saya-saya niyöng dalawa; kaya lang, bigla kang magigising at malalamang panaginip lang pala ang lahat? Kainis kaya. Masyadong paasa. Tayo naman, natural na umaasa. Tapos di ka pa makukuntento kaya pipilitin mong i-revive ang naputol na masayang panaginip. Kaso, di na talaga pwede. Eh di mas lalong masakit? Makakatulog ka nga kaya lang ibang scene na ang ipinapalabas sa panaginip mo. Wala rin, di ba. At some point, maaaring sumaya ako kasi nakasama ko siya sa panaginip ko pero deep inside, nasasaktan ako. Kasi posible lang ang mga bagay na gusto ko sa mundo ng kawalan. Eh, as if naman na gugustuhin niyang sumama sa akin sa mundo ng panaginip. Isa pa, ipinahihiwatig lang ng mga panaginip ko na ang makasama siya ay napaka-imposible pang mangyari. Kung sa panaginip pa nga lang, natatapos na ang istorya namin nang hindi pa nagha-happily ever after, sa totoong buhay pa kaya? Kaya naman, talagang gugustuhin kong matulog na lang din. Yung walang gisingan. Yung tipong tanging siya lang ang makakapagpabangon sa akin sa matagal na pagkakahimlay. Parang Sleeping Beauty lang.

                                              

   Kahit mahirap at masakit, tinatanggap ko ang ganitong mga senaryo. Ganito ata talaga ang buhay naming mga hopeless romantic. Iniaasa ang lahat sa tadhana maging sa panaginip sa pagbabaka-sakaling masilayan ang hinahangaan. Seemingly, kasiyahan ang dulot nun sa amin kahit temporary lang. Kaya lang kaakibat nito yung masakit na parte eh---na gigising tayo at mare-realize nating iba pa rin pala kung ang lahat ay magiging bahagi ng reyalidad...na sana totoo na lang ang lahat. Yun nga lang, mapagiisip-isip mong hindi rin naman puwede. Kasi kumplikado. Kasi masyadong mapangarap, ambitious kumbaga. Di another pain na naman yun? Ganito...ganito ang palagi kong nararamdaman sa bawat araw, buwan at taong lumilipas. Yung feeling na kino-construct yung puso ko pag napapaginipan ko siya together with me; then bigla ring idine-demolish pag napagtatanto kong everything is within a dream. Kapag natulog naman ulit ako with matching sweetness overload 'coz of him, parang nire-reconstruct ulit si heart; kaya lang, pag nagising na ako karaka-raka ring inire-redemolish ang kaawa-awa kong puso. Tortured na nga ito sobra eh. Tipong battered heart lang. Abusadong-abusado niya. Kung pwede nga lang ipapakulong ko siya sa kasong heart abuse eh. Kaya lang napaka-unreasonable ng dahilan ko. Isa pa, nagpapa-abuso rin naman ako. Kaya medyo may fault din ako dun. Palagi siyang tumatakbo sa isip ko...gumugulantang sa'king puso.

                                            

   Lumipas ang mga taon na puro pangarap. Mga pag-aasam na baka may chance. Na baka posible. Naisip ko nga, napaka-unfair ni Mr. Kupido eh. Yung feeling na tinamaan niya ako ng pana niya na naging dahilan para umibig ako sa taong 'to; pero siya mukhang di niya pinalasuhan. Nakaka-disappoint lang. Pero andun yung hope ko na baka papalasuhan din naman si crush ni Kupido. Di nga lang ngayon. Di bukas. Baka next next time pa. Ang problema, kailan naman kaya yung next next time na yun? Magbibilang pa ba ulit ako ng mga taon? Di ko alam. Bahala na...pero habang patagal nang patagal, lalo akong nahuhulog sa kanya eh kahit alam kong he's not there to catch me. At the same time, mas lalo akong nahihirapang sumuko sa nararamdaman ko. Wala eh. Tanga na kung tanga.

   Ang hirap lang kasi patay na patay ako sa kanya samantalang siya walang pakialam sa presence ko. Nagkakasalubong kami pero wala akong makitang spark sa kanya na gaya ng sa'kin. Ni wala rin akong marinig na mala-drum rolls na sound effect sa puso niya. Ang plain. One-sided lang ang lahat. Minsan nga nang tumingin ako sa langit, may nakita akong wishing star. Dagli kong pinikit yung mga mata ko sabay sabi ng mga katagang: "Ibigay mo naman sa'kin 'tong taong to oh," habang nagpa-flash sa gunita ko yung mga nice features niya...mga simpleng rason kung bakit naa-abnormal si stupid heart. In fact, kabisado ko nga ang tunog ng kaniyang mga yabag. Sa tuwing naririnig ko ang mga yabag niya sa kalsada, ititigil ko ang anumang ginagawa ko para lang pagmasdan siyang nakatalikod habang papunta sa bahay nila. Di ko nga maiwasang mangarap na balang araw, sana mayakap ko ang likod niyang iyon. Na sabay kaming maglalakad papauwi sa aming bahay. Pero yung bulang naglalaman ng mga pangarap na ito, biglang puputok kasi alam ng isip kong di rin naman pwede. Ang sakit talaga. Parang ina-accupuncture ang puso ko. Mali at walang patutunguhan ang mga gusto ko pero patuloy kong pinaglalaban. Try lang. Pag napagod na akong mag-try, di tama na. I'm ready naman to face all the unforeseen possibilities. Of what might happen, I don't have any idea. All I know is I'll be working under positivity.

   Tsaka ganito naman talaga pag love na ang usapan eh. Kahit alam mong ang paggawa ng isang aksyon na hindi tama ay makakasama sa'yo, di mo iniintindi. Kahit wala ng patutunguhan, pilit nating hinahanapan ng malulusutan. Malay natin, mag-work di ba? Yung tipong pamantayan ng ilan sa atin ang kasabihang, "Try and try until you die. If you die, at least you try." Isa pa, love really moves in the absurdest way. Ironic at the same time. We tend to love those who hurt and can't love us back. We also take risks and seize up all the chances just to find true love. Ako nga eh, di ba? 

                                              

   Para akong isang manlalaro na di pa man nagsisimula ang level 1 ng isang game, dehado na. At kahit alam kong dehado na ako, sumusugod pa rin ako. Kasi di ko naman ito ipu-push kung di mahalaga sa akin ang pinaglalaban kong premyo...ang love na patuloy na sine-search ng karamihan sa kung saan-saan kahit pa nga ata sa dulo ng walang hanggan. Corny pero wag mong itatanggi yung totoo. Ikaw din, sino ba ang niloko mo? Kaya nga nagpapakatotoo ako.

   Saka, wala talaga eh. Lagi siyang laman ng mga panaginip ko. Anumang gawing paglimot, di siya mawala-wala sa isip ko. Nakatatak na siya dito. Tila isang tatak na may pulso...tatak sa aking puso.

      (Laughing Out Loud)

   Ngiti... 

   Tawa... 

   Hagikhik... 

   Bungisngis... 

   Hagalpak...

   Mga gawaing pinapangarap nating ma-experience kahit man lang minsan sa'ting buhay. Ang sarap kayang tumawa, di ba? Pakiramdam mo, malayo ka sa mundo kung saan ka nag-e-exist. Yung feeling na you're almost touching the clouds and you're wandering all over the azure boundless sky. The feeling is ecstatic kumbaga. 

                                       

   Oo, masarap tumawa na para bang wala ng makakapigil pa sa'yo. Ni wala nga tayong pakialam kahit pa magmukha na tayong baliw sa paningin ng iba, dahil sa ating walang-kamatayang pagtawa. Ang mahalaga ay 'yung sense of joviality prevailing within our system. Wag lang naman sana umabot sa point na malalagutan ka na ng hininga dahil sa kakatawa. Pero aminin mo, gusto mo na kung sakali mang lilisan ka sa mundong ito, masaya't nakangiti ka sa huling sandali ng iyong buhay, di ba? Ganundin ako pati na 'yung mga taong nasa paligid mo. 

                                           

   Pero, beyond all of these is the fact that genuine happiness is not that easy to achieve. Di ito gaya ng mga panindang junk foods at Beefies hotdog na nabibili ng piso-piso o natitingi. Di rin naman ito nabibili ng wholesale sa Divisoria. Kahit pa nga makipag-barter ka ng mamahaling porselana, walang makikipagkalakal sa'yo nito. Kasi, marami ang handang gumawa ng kahit anong paraan na naiisip nila para lang matikman ang ligayang hinahanap-hanap ng kanilang damdaming pukaw ng kalungkutan. It's priceless. To earn happiness, we have to work for it. Besides, nakasalalay ang lahat ng possibilities sa ating sarili. Some are happy because they choose to be happy. The choices are on our hands. E, ikaw? Ano bang choice mo? 

   Masarap maging masaya lalo na kung may ginagawa kang hakbang para sumaya ka. Pero kung wala ka namang ginagawa, pa'no ka kaya sasaya, di ba? Para kang naghihintay ng pagputi ng uwak at pag-itim ng tagak.      

   You know what, sa isang simpleng ngiti, makaka-attract na tayo ng good vibes at positive things. Sabi nga ni Mother Theresa of Calcutta, "Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other---it doesn't matter who it is---and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other." Biruin mo, di lang pala simple ang naidudulot ng isang payak na ngiti. Smile has the power to caress hearts and souls of those mournfuls. Nakatulong ka na, lumago pa ang iyong kaganapan bilang isang indibidwal. Sa tanong na kung pa'no ka sasaya, wala akong masasagot diyan. It depends on our own approaches, e. Pero may ilan akong alam na mga paraan para maging worth-engaging ang bawat araw. From there, malamang masusumpungan mo rin si happiness.

                                     

1. Always start and end your day with a smile. Sabi nga sa isang statement shirt ng Coca-Cola: "A smile a day keeps the badtrip away."

2. Indulge. Try to engage on activities na sa tingin mo ay malilibang ka. Shopping, writing, reading, watching films, or cooking will do.

3. Do things that you never experience to try. In this case, we have to undergo on a trial and error method. The outcome might bring fulfillment or frustration, but we have to be ready on such resulting consequences. If you never experienced mountaineering, then do it. Besides, there's no harm on trying.

4. Involve yourself in "life-saving" organizations. Life-saving in the sense na 'yung org na sasalihan mo ay worth-engaging. Life is too short to waste opportunities and time. Bakit di mo subukang sumali sa mga samahang tumutulong sa mga out-of-school youths o kaya ay sa mga campus-based organizations concerning göod works. Kaysa naman sa tumambay o magmukmok tayo sa isang tabi.

5. Give value to those persons around you. With that, pahahalagahan ka rin nila which might effectuate good relationship between the members of the group. Good relationship leads to happiness.

6. Affirm one's identity. Napapansin ko kasi na may ilang napu-frustrate dahil sa mga kahinaang tinataglay nila. Alam niyo, hindi sasaya 'yung mga taong walang kakuntentuhan kasi they will try to do worst things just to best their opponents or colleagues. Sabi nga ng pilosopong si Lao-Tzu: "When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you."

7. Watch or read inspirational films or books bombarded with lesson. By simply doing this, we will be able to change our perspective about life. We'll have at least the guts to conquer our fears. There, we could attain the happiness we are yearning for. 

8. Communicate with God. Gusto mo ng happiness di ba? Pwes, makipag-ugnayan tayo kay God. He's the only one who can bestow us the authentic and eternal happiness. Let us pray thoroughly, then our wants and needs will be granted.

   Sabi nga sa isang kantang pambata na kinakanta ko nung kinder pa ako, "kung ikaw ay masaya, tumawa ka. Haha. Kung ikaw ay masaya, tumawa ka. Haha. Kung ikaw ay masaya, buhay mo ay sisigla. Kung ikaw ay masaya, tumawa ka. Haha." Kitams? Kaya naman wag nating ibaon ang ating sarili sa sentimentality. Minsan din tayong nagpakalugmok sa kalungkutan. I think, it's time for us to come out from our shells and shout "hahaha."  

   Laugh as if this day would be our last. Laugh as if everything won't stop...as if we don't care 'bout disturbances for we just want to laugh. :D

          Blitzkrieg*

The man who has no problems is out of the game.

               -Elbert Hubbard

   It is a formidable foe. When it takes an action, everything might be held back.
   A blitzkrieg. That is how I denominate the human problem. Even we invert the globe, it still exists. We can't reach the extreme end without enduring such problems. Thus, these make our lives tougher and more sophisticated. However, the intricacy of a problem depends largely to those who deal with it. One wrong move is equals to worst outcome. One sane move yields hope and chances to go steady. So, the ball is on our hands.
   Problems are just there beside us, waiting for the right time to deter our system. These possess the power of turning our cognition, emotion and behavior into chaos. As blitzkriegs, problems are silent killers. We don't even know the precise time of when we will be attacked by their battalion. They don't have swords nor spears, but they can kill. The worst thing is, what if we are not prepared at the moment of their coming? Probably, it would be a tragedy!
   Problems are definitely impediments. These are like silver chains rounded to our neck which can cause difficulty in our breathing. Then, unfavorable circumstances will come next. In fact, we can't eat and sleep well if we are experiencing a great trouble. These thoughts might be so exaggerated but possible to subsist when problems are almost there knocking at the door of our houses. Also, when we allow these problems ruin our positive outlook towards life.
         
   Always remember that everything happens for a reason. We realize such troubles in our lives as instruments of honing our character. No one can even negate that all of those successful men of today had undergone obstacles. After all, they are now prominent luminaries we admire because of their determination to move forward towards success.
   Let us take Thomas Edison as an exemplar of strong faith and outrageous courage.
   Thomas Edison was probably the greatest inventor in American history. When he first attended school in Port Huron, Michigan, his teachers complained that he was too slow and hard to handle. As a result, Edison's mother decided to take her son out of school and teach him at home. At the age of 10, he had already set up his first chemistry laboratory. Edison's inexhaustible energy and genius (which he reportedly defined as 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration) eventually produced in his lifetime more than 1,300 inventions. When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2,000 experiments before he got it to work.(Chicken Soup for the Soul, 1993)
   See how determined he was before? Well, that's the spirit!
   Thus, we can infer that life is a game consisting levels. Each level may be difficult to deal with but fulfilling as we proceed to another and more levels. We may fail but never lose hope. Continue what have just started. Instead of being badly tormented by problems, why don't we consider those as challenges that we can surpass. After all, we do have the chances and choices to do so. We are just being controlled by our emotions without even thinking first.
   Life is too short to be easily devastated by such problems. Nonetheless, we can always look for the better. If you feel blue, just pray and the burden you are carrying will be obliterated. For God may not be visually-existent but on our journey, he'll be always there by our side.
   As what Hellen Keller said, character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.

*blitzkrieg--noun. sudden overwhelming attack with powerful force.

"A chair is still a chair

even there's no one sittin' there.

But a chair is not a house; and 

a house is not a home

when there's no one to hold you tight

and no one there you can kiss goodnight."

                         --House is not a Home

              Can you imagine how lonely one's life is without a home and family?

            Recently, Super Typhoon Yolanda came into the territory of Philippines which left great sufferings within Filipinos. Several people died while others are still missing. I can feel the varied emotions of those affected. Some keep on hoping that they will find their loved ones that were flushed by the gruesome flood and covered by mass of rocks and earth. It's been a week that these are the episodes presented on Philippine TV. While watching, I realized how lucky I am to have a home and family. Yet, it also made me feel that my situation is not that different to theirs.

            No one loves me. Teardrops glide from my eyes while typing this article. I just can't resist the fact that I'm living in a family wherein no one appreciates my worth. I commit mistakes and I can't prevent those to happen. If only I could, then why not? At some point, I see myself as a robot that should be programmable to do everything they want, should be heartless to avoid being affected, and should be perfect all the time. Apparently, it's difficult for me because I can't be myself. But then, I have no choice for I love them. Yes. I love them despite of the idea that they can't love me the way I do. Perhaps, they love me too, especially in the times that they need my help or anything. And let me clarify one thing. I'm not mad and it is not my attitude to drill anger in my heart.

          I can still recall that day---the Deliberation Day of honors ( the day where top ten students of the batch are announced; this is usually done before the Graduation Day). I was the consistent top one in our class for three years, when I was a high school student. I used to pressure myself to strive hard, not for self-indulgence but to satisfy my mom's innumerable expectations. My mom wants nothing but the best from me; and she doesn't want me to disappoint her. Every time I lose the number one spot of the honor roll, she reprimands me and makes me feel that i'm a loser. Then the situation got even worst when I was hailed as salutatorian. After the Deliberation Day of honors, she left the room saying nothing. Probably, she's so disappointed for she wanted me to be Valedictorian and not as Salutatorian. I can't understand why she acted like that. Besides, to graduate as second of the bests is not that bad. At the deepest corner of the campus, I cried. During that time, I prayed and said: " Thank you God for the intelligence you gave yet I'm so sorry for I can't surpass all of these challenges I am facing right now. If I couldn't be happy, then terminate my breath so I won't be a robot forever."

          I came up with this realization for I believed that there was no reason for me to live. No one cares about me. My dad is so busy on other important things and my sibling is still young to be involved on my sentimentality. Withal, my friends do not know me so much. I demarcate their knowledge about me by simply narrating only the jovial stories of my life. Hence, there's no one whom I can count on. I try to smile although the pain is tormenting my heart into pieces. This is because I'm totally fed up on crying. I'm tired to be downcast.

         Somehow, there are still times that she's in good mood. During those, we tend to share jokes as if we're just friends. She says that she loves me so much. However, after a week showered of joy, Medusa will regain her system. That calls for a preparation. I know that she will be harsh on saying things.

       The frequent subsistence of this episode cultivated apathy on me. I learned how to deal with the attitudes exhibited by my mom. I'm just hoping that she can do the same thing. Utilizing these experiences while I am studying yields insuperable courage to move forward and to prove that I am not good-for-nothing.

*Dead Duck- noun. goner, one whose case is hopeless.

Hoaxer

Everyone in the park were gay,

while I was alone and weeping throughout the day.

Many passers-by witnessed me crying

yet no one cared about my feeling.

I wanted to create a commotion out there.

I wanted to slap their faces

and made them feel that I was on great despair.

But how? I didn't have the strength.

Who am I to be cared?

Who am I to be heard?

While I was so melancholic all the way through, 

everything on my surrounding turned in dark hue.

I stood up on the bench and shouted.

So, the lovers at the nearby benches got irritated.

They left me alone;

and for many times, I was forlorn.

That point, I didn't have a partner

whom I can put my head on his shoulder.

Because we broke up earlier, I felt better.

Ironic yet not bitter.

WHAT'S THE REAL SCORE?

Love is a convoluted thing to explain.

It is due to the fact that love exists out of somewhere.

Only four-letter word but the meaning of it is still limited.

What more if this simple word became a sentence----(I love you)?

According to a dictionary, "love is a strong affection, a warm attachment,

and an unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for others."

Maybe some of us are realizing these such signs,

but it's not enough to conclude that what we feel is already "love".

Love is nebulous.

It may attack you wherever and whenever it wants.

It is also extraordinary----

too magical that you are imagining yourself as a prince or a princess

in a fairy tale.

Aside from that, Love is diverse from crush.

Crush is being inspired with a foolish or extravagant admiration.

But love....it should be authentic,

pure and persistent.

It is also "OA".

Some of us tend to do something unusual or rare

just to impress and to catch the attention of someone we love,

without knowing that it's too much.

This kind of feeling is an astounding one.

We'll just be shocked that we are already in love.

How funny right?

But that's life.

But of all the attributes of love, 

being INFINITE is the greatest (according to some).

It could be similar with an infinity ring...

endless, boundless and eternal.

But then, behind the magical power of love 

is its painful effect to everyone.

We should always bear in our mind 

that in "love", we will realize to be hurt

and we can't except ourselves from that.

"GREAT LOVE COMES WITH A GREAT PAIN".

Don't love too much, so you won't have any regrets at the end.

It is because....THERE IS NO SUCH THING

AS FOR A LONG TIME even when it comes in love.

Now tell me, what's the real score between you and your "love"?
