I find it easy to ask other people for help. I am a very talkative person and I have no qualms sharing my life's tragedies with others, but I find it extremely hard and painful to actually ask for help. Earlier today, my aunt talked to me to ask the the state of my affairs. And it was totally uncomfortable for me. I was close to tears. Yes, I have problems, and although I cannot really handle them all by myself, I do not ask for help. I do not ask for help because almost always it comes with a price. Yes, I know I messed up, I've been stupid and careless and whatnot... I don't need you to tell me all that.

Rivermaya's You'll Be Safe Here
YOU'LL BE SAFE HERE by Rivermaya Nobody knows Just why we’re here Could it be fate Or random circumstance At the right place At the right time Two roads intertwine And if the universe conspired To meld our lives To make us Fuel and fire Then know Where ever you will be So too shall I be Chorus: Close your eyes Dry your tears ‘Coz when nothing seems clear You’ll be safe here From the sheer weight Of your doubts and fears Weary heart You’ll be safe here Remember how we laughed Until we cried At the most stupid things Like we were so high But love was all that we were on We belong And though the world would Never understand This unlikely union And why it still stands Someday we will be set free. Pray and believe Chorus: When the light disappears And when this world’s insincere You’ll be safe here When nobody hears you scream I’ll scream with you You’ll be safe here Save your eyes From your tears When everything’s unclear You’ll be safe here From the sheer weight Of your doubts and fears Wounded heart When the light disappears And when this world’s insincere You’ll…
Me Hate
The Paolo Mendoza tagged me with this hate meme... Food: Ummm... I had a hard time with this. But I think it's got to be onions. EW! Fruits: Marang, langka, bananas... Ew! For some reason I don't like uncooked bananas but I love it when it's boiled, fried or in any other form. Veggies: I hate ampalaya because it's very bitter. People: Controlling and demanding people who think they own me. And FC people!!! Event/Situation/Incident: I hate situations where I am forced to choose between two things. TV Shows/Movies: I don't think there's a TV Show I hate. Oh, wait... local TV shows that pretend to be Filipino originals but are actually clones of foreign shows.
