Love Runs Out ... They say






Does love really run out? Does it flow like water then just trickles down when there is not much left and eventually stops?I have heard friends and even in my family (from uncles mostly) that they have fallen out of love or that the love they had at the beginning is just not there anymore. Not there anymore? Ok ... Given it's not "there" anymore then where did it go?... They'd stutter and give me reasons that I cannot seem to digest (or maybe refuse to digest). At the back of my mind, they'd give every excuse just to push something they do not want anymore away and replace it with something they fancy at the moment. Then why say love just ran out?.... I personally do not think love runs out ...


First, it just gets buried by other emotions like hate and anger. Let's just say that you are the "other half" who had been betrayed and the only one who has been working to make the partnership work but then you don't seem to see that your other half is doing something. You'll get frustrated and your frustration will lead to anger then you'll eventually hate the person.



Second, love gets overpowered by lust. Oh come on! Don't say you have never gone google-eyed on this gorgeous girl who has ass the size of pillows and the sticking-out-like-chopstick tits that you wish you can grab and have your way with it... Guys really love to look at them and a part of them down there can also prove it. Sheesh! Don't you downplay me. I have brothers that's why I can tell.... Or you girls, yeah you girl, had stared at this muscled toned guy with this something down there that even in tumescence still showed that they have something down-there. Guys, and oh even girls just hate to look at their partners with sagging arms, potbellied, with big dark circles around the eyes, smells differently, etc ... etc... Then here comes the line, "I have fallen out of love. I think it would be better if we are just friends".... So euphemistic! How about, "I lust for someone else and to have him/her I need to get rid of you so that I cannot be considered a cheater".



Third, love has been pushed to the side by hubris and self preservation. The "it's all about me" mentality is just not that easy to kill ... Arrogance claws love down... And it could be painful to let go of one's arrogance if you had been using it since the begining of time to shield yourself from anything that could harm you emotionally and mentally. Self preservation (superciliousness) and hubris are both addictions and they just can't die easy, it has molded into one's inner core that to take them all out also means to take away life, die (of course figuratively but nonetheless still painfull).



Sometimes it helps if we just sit down and take time to look at our better halves. Why do you have each other in the first place? Tired of making love work? You refuse to listen ... Now this I can understand because for something to work, it has to be fueled by something, driven by something.... But if you say you can't make it work anymore because you got tired then somehow love is still there, stagnant and gathering moss.... like cracks on a wall that had been withered by wind, rain and the sun.

How Could You ..

Just saw one female friend's display message in YM... It says "How do you heal a broken heart that feels like it would never love this much again?"...

Yeah ... I wonder how too.


Do you have "below zero"?

The Vampire Girlfriend





Got to talk to one of my college friends who now works in Manila. Can't help but laugh, I know it's not supposed to be funny but it seems like he got robbed and his money bled dry by his own girlfriend.I cannot do much but listen to him rant. But I wish I could do more than just listen.

He was talked into buying her a car, a condo and a trip to Thailand. And when they came back, she broke up with him.

I know it is easy for me to say that he is so dumb, my point is girlfriend-vampires do exist, the girlfriend who holds your credit card and your ATM cards for the blanket reason of "need to budget". But the longer you ATMs and credit cards stay with her, the shorter your financial life-span gets.

I personally know one girlfriend-vampire (a friend used to have her as a girlfriend and have
utang here and there, she even extorted money from her very bestfriend, the one person that she grew up with. Yes, I think you know her, she is Zorayda De Makulangan, up until now, she still owes my friend thousands), she will suck the life out of your money.... errrr.... rather she will suck your money out of your life.

Watch out for this type of girlfriend. One and probably the best indication is that they whine too much about not having this and that.
