If you love someone, ask them for nothing.

(stolen from alf)

If you love someone, ask them for nothing. Don't hold them back from their destiny. Don't keep them from going off in search of their own answers. Don't ask them for commitment. You will know commitment is real when it is something given willingly, and not as something obligatory. Don't ask them for promises. If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.

And when that time arrives, then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free, and have instead gained a richer, fuller life, a wealth of experiences, and a stronger certainty of your desires.

But should they not return to you, then life hasn't cheated you because no promises were broken. Your bitterness will not last long, and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least, this beautiful soul has colored your life, that knowing them has already made life infinitely more meaningful.

By setting a person free, you run a risk of them not returning. But always remember that you found them beautiful precisely because they were free. People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow, but you can't hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever. People CHOOSE to stay. But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options. Love has no restrictions and it is through mistakes that sometimes we see the right answer. Because if you love someone, you ask them for nothing and they will come back to you.

perang papel

kakaiba ang pera sa HK! may plastic! hehe. ayoko nga gastusin yun mga pinapalit ko kasi pwedeng souvenir. kaso no choice dahil maraming gastos at ayaw ko na magpapalit pa ng pera. kaya ang natira na lang yun 10HKD na papel este plastic pala at saka mga coins. yey! collection!

may kapansin-pansin sa pera ng HK:

1. hindi siya lukot. lahat ba ng tao dito gumagamit ng wallet? sosyal! kahit sa bangketa lang kami bumibili crispy ang mga pera nila! talagang walang mga tupi ang pera. kakaiba. malamang hindi sila gumagaya sa akin na nagtatago ng papel sa bra o medyas kapag medyo malaking halaga ang dala. (too much info na ata)

2. walang amoy. e hindi ba dito sa Pinas medyo may amoy ang pera. lalo na kapag luma na, parang galing sa baul. hindi lang pala parang galing sa baul kundi mukhang nilibing na at saka hinukay. reincarnation ang tawag diyan.

3. walang sulat. hindi uso ang penpal at self advertisement. hihihi. hindi ba ang pera natin kung ano-ano ang nakasulat? kesyo may numero ng telepono, pagpapahayag ng pagmamahal o pambuburaot. minsan may kung anu-anong drawing pa nga eh.

4. sponsored! dito lang ako nakakita ng pera na sponsored ng iba-ibang bangko. isipin mo nga isang bill pero iba-iba ang nakasulat. bakit di kaya natin gawin sa Pinas yun? mas lalaki ba ang halaga ng pera natin kung ganun?

sa HK lang ba ganun?
