Work seems to be the only escape from being a hopeless romantic loved by a pragmatist.

Adik,

Take two steps back. You're working too hard that you actually agreed to do a double-shift today.

Are you loving your work too much, or are you afraid of going home too early and facing that weekday void?

Nauuwi na

====================================================

Dear,

Can't we enjoy our weekends? It's either you or me who has something work/school-related to do. I miss going outdoors with you, and the three weeks in Canada, alone, will test my sanity.

Give me something to look forward to coming back to. Tell me that you're 100% sure...please...

Crazy Bitch

Hahaha! I can't wait 'til you guys see what's on the other side. Take off yer' blinders first.

Ugh...don't you guys have lives to live outside this box?

Poof! Away you go...unfriend this, unfriend that. Zap!Zap! Zap!

Happy slip...

Dear Belly,

I've "un-friended" you because everytime I see your wedding pictures, there are still dagggers piercing my heart. I want to move on already. The man I love now deserves that, and I won't allow myself to be summoned by what might have been.

I hope you understand. We were never meant to remain as friends, in the first place.

A

===========================================================

Dear M,

I know it will be painful for you more than it will be for me, and no words will ever come together to easily let go of what was once a marriage.

However, my boss is right. With or without a man in my life, I need to do it for myself...

A

===========================================================

Dear Teach,

If you are part of God's plan for me, then so it be. If not, then I shall need to accept that. His will be done. In the meantime, I want to enjoy every single moment that we are together.

I love you. Thank you for helping me rise above the ashes.

Your Student

Izz da weekend. Yeeah!

Monday just flew by that fast! Now if it can turn into a bullet train....zip! It's already the weekend again!

Cliche quote for the day: I feel like a kid all over again...

Dear,

You really are amazing.

When I told you last night that I'm afraid of me dragging you down and causing you to fall behind your life goals, your answer just blew me away...

Now, all I could think of is this as a pathetic reply to your commitment:

"I can't let you down. If you're strong enough to lift me high up into the sky when I feel like I'm pulling you down, then we're both worth the wait and the hard work. I'll go with you. All the way, I will. I won't allow myself to be left behind while you carry me. I will pick myself up and walk with you."

Again, you're amazing.

A

Go to sleep. Mahal ka nun.

I can smell the weekend. Here Saty,Saty, Saty....

I heard it's more expensive to get "unmarried" than to get married.

Waking up early to take a jog is easy after your days off. The real challenge lies in waking up early to take a morning jog on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Dear,

I can't believe how strong your influence is on me. I managed to stop habitual smoking, and start jogging in the morning, all because of the subtle hints you've been dropping. No one, I repeat, no one has ever had this kind of hold on me.

And even if you don't say that you love me as often as I would want you to, or even if you aren't as openly affectionate as I am, I really don't care anymore. What you do for me, with me, and to me - that's more than enough to show what real love is.

I won't ever stop being generous with saying "I love you"...

Your Student

Methinks we'll be checking test papers tomorrow night. How's that for a date?

Better to pick on Moniegold than smoke a stick...

Tic-tacs as substitute for smoking? Why not!

================================

To Marlboro Black and to all the other brands I've smoked before,

I want to say goodbye for good. You have been great companions in my loneliness, and you've kept me focused during times of dire stress. Unfortunately, I love my life more, and I want to stay healthy.

I'm going to cut you out of my life forever. Goodbye.

A

=============================================

Dear Boss,

I don't want to get sick anymore. I'm following your advice.

Your Padawan

==============================================

Dear Teach,

It took my boss and my health to give me a whack in the head to make me do what you've been dropping hints on for months.

Now you can start kissing me without the hint of cigarettes in my breath (despite the brushing and mouthwash). I love you for loving my life.

'Wish we lived closer to each other so I'd have a jogging partner.

Your Student

Dear Ma, Pa, and Bro,

I felt mixed emotions leaving home earlier. I was relieved to go back to my hole here in Manila and regain my independence, and at the same time, I'm pining for you guys. I love you all, and I'll make you even prouder.

Ate

======================================

Dear Teach,

Smile...it's your day! See you at dinner time. I love you, my dear rock star.

Your Student

=======================================

Dear HSBC,

I wish you would put up more branches. The fiascos with your phonebanking and online services are really starting to piss me off.

Almost-irate Stakeholder

=========================================

Dear IT,

I've been gone for only 8 days and now I can't log into my webmail???? How long will it take for you to reset my password again?

Getting Impatient

At the end of the day, it really is just their way of expressing envy and discontent.

Dear Teach,

Thank you for giving me the time of my life. There's so much out there that I would love to discover with you.

Your Student

============================

Dear 2011,

I'm glad you're finally here. 2010 was a tough year, and yet she taught me a lot in just a span of 12 months. I can't wait to show you what she taught me.

I'm rarin' ta' go!

Anne

=============================

B,

I'm finally ready to say goodbye to you. You were a phase, a necessary transition.

The real Me

Lord, please help me learn how to trust again so that I may be truly happy.

Too...much...food...
