30 day challenge #1 - Day 01
I was born single and at 17, I am still single.

But my single life is complicated.

I am liking someone. Or I love that someone. I do not know.

Kaya nga complicated diba? Kasi di ko nga alam. 'Di ko naiintindihan sarili ko.

But this challenge isn't supposed to be about my something for that guy.

So *coughs* here goes.



"If single, discuss how your single life is."

Nang mabasa ko 'to, I was like, "How am I supposed to elaborate my single life?" Napatulala ako sa kawalan. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko eh. Araw-araw, iniisip ko kasi kung bakit single pa ako and here comes a question that asks me to discuss how it is to be single. Para bang nabigyan ako ng something to ponder upon. To realize things in my life that I haven't looked into. So for five minutes, heto ang nakalap ng brain ko.

Half my single life is spent waking up, eating breakfast (or not, minsan), taking a bath, fixing my stuff, riding a tricycle to the AS building (or CFOS), attending class, riding (or walking) back to the dorm area, eat dinner, study, take a bath again, and sleep - all done not chronologically and on a daily, school-day only, basis. On weekends, I curse NSTP, go home, log-on Facebook and Twitter, and sprawl myself on the bed that I haven't slept on for the past five days.

Boring, yes. But that's just half of it.

The other half is spent waking up to the smiles and greetings of my roommates, eating breakfast at the study area with dormmates, going to class with my friends, walking back to the dorm and talking about trivial stuff, eating dinner and studying with the same group of friends - all done not chronologically and on a daily, school-day only, basis. On weekends, I go home to a hyperactive - but moody - mother who treats me out for dinner and lunch the next day and to a bigger little sister who does nothing but pesters me lovingly.

Being single isn't being lonely. We all have friends by a side and a family by another. Alam ko, minsan, I neglect and forget about them dahil nga sa pagiging curious ko kung bakit single pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. But it only took me five minutes to realize how important they actually are in my life.

So fuck relationships. For now, I should focus on the present and deal with the reality that love really comes when you least expect it.
