Literary Piece: I Must Be Sure

Originally written: November 19, 2009

If I pursue my heart’s call for you, I must be sure that I won’t be at the losing end.

If I said “I love you”, I must be sure that I will be brave enough to accept whatever the consequence will be.

If I put my trust in you, I must be sure that you won’t take me for granted.

Because I’ve tried falling in love before, and I came to know that it isn’t always filled with happiness, with pleasure. Fates play you well and the play you cruel. Love will crush your pride even if it will put endless happiness in your path.

So I must be sure with you. I must be sure because I don’t want another misfortune, another heartache. With you, I want things to be right.

“You can either be my best friend or my worst enemy”: Things I Don’t Tolerate in a Friendship

You might be wondering: “what’s with the subject line?” Well, I’m here to list things I do not tolerate in a friendship:

1. Lies. I guess that’s universal.

2. Self-centeredness. Come on, have some consideration for me. Do that and I will return the favor.

3. Irksome behavior such as, but not limited to, messing with my hair in a not-so-cute way, squeezing my cheeks like I’m an unresponsive dog, or not getting any of the hints I drop when I am not in the mood to chat.

4. Lack of ambition for oneself and pessimism. Don’t rub me with your negativity because that’s just not me.

Those are about it. For the most part, I am tolerant, but these are the four things (actually five) I do not allow to get past me.

Make a slight move and the ice cracks. Slowly but surely it cracks, and eventually, it will break. Only time will tell.

I peek as the ice cracks… just don’t expect me to sit still and wait for it to break as if my life depended on it.

Happiness

Happiness is something almost everyone is in pursuit of. People are in constant search of happiness, and sometimes they lose themselves along the way.

Some people find happiness in fame, fortune, and the glitz and glam. Some people find happiness in music or literature. Some people find happiness in the company of the people they love. And then there are some people who find happiness in the things they do best.

Happiness is our goal in life. We all deserve to be happy and we all deserve to pursue our happiness.

Literary Piece: Big Bang Principles of Economics

Originally written: January 27, 2010

I look at the pages of my book, “Principles of Economics”. As I attempt to comprehend its context by reading the text, I couldn’t help but hear a certain voice in my head that is reading the words. In my mind, Sheldon Cooper from “The Big Bang Theory” tries to explain the concept of supply by verbatim using the book’s module.

The only reaction I have is: “Oh, dear…”
