let's dim the lights for the ex-lovers...

This commercial is simply amazing! If you found yourself still in love with your "ex", tatamaan ka dito! After a long time, biglang nag-krus ang landas nyo sa elevator at walang ibang sumakay. Bongga! President lang ng kompanya 'te, kuya??? Hehehe!

According to a friend of mine, hangga't nakikita mo ang taong minsang minahal mo ng sobra, babalik at babalik pa rin ang dating nararamdaman mo sa kanya... kahit itanggi mong wala na! ...pak na pak! pasok sa banga!

But today, I'd like to emphasize the story of those people behind the scene. I mean, yung mga taong naghintay sa kanila to separate ways. And no, they don't intend it in a kontrabida way. They patiently waited... quietly :) So let's dim the lights for the ex-lovers for a while.

Let's put ourselves in their shoes, shall we? Let's say, you have a friend and secretly in love with him. Just when you thought that he and his girlfriend will soon exchange vows, they broke up. At nung nalaman mo yun, parang birthday mo, nagpa-party ka pa. Sobrang saya mo te, pero sure ka ba na parang tae sya at inidoro ka, para sayo na sya babagsak? Hehehe! Hmmm...

Ok, serious na... you were with him as he's trying to move on, while you were hoping that one day, he'll see your worth. You want to put an end to this "katangahan" thing but he told you you we're making him happy and you're helping him to forget his ex as well. He promised to love you after he's over with his past relationship. So there you are, you stay by his side, listening to his angst and anger towards his ex kahit ang sakit-sakit na. Gusto mo na syang batukan and say, "hoy! gising!", but all you did was a tap at the back while he was crying on your shoulder. Wenk! Wenk! Pero teka, have you realized, maybe you we're trying too hard??? Baka kasi ang ending nyan e, ikaw ang nagtanim pero iba ang aani. tsk! tsk!

You were in this battle na wala kang kalaban-laban... para mong hinamon si Pacquiao ng suntukan. Mas matimbang pa din ang mga ex, mahirap sila kalimutan. Tandaan mo, si teacher pag nagche-check ng papers, nire-recheck nya yan, baka kasi tama pala dapat si EX. Hahaha!

Haaayys.. this thing called love is getting me crazy! Really!!! Pero ang sarap siguro pakinggan 'pag sinabi nyang, "andyan ka pala, di ka nagsasalita... e mahal na kita e.." hahaha! Para ka na sigurong nagpa-retoke dahil di matanggal ang ngiti mo. Hehehe!

But what happens kapag nangyare nga ang eksena sa commercial na yan? Itataas mo na ba ang white flag at surrender na? O sisigaw ka ng " itigil ang kasal!" kahit wedding plans pa lang ang usapan??? Hahaha!

Well, if it was me, I'll let go. Wherever his happy, I'm happy too... walang halong kaplastikan. Eh sa iba sya masaya e.. ay di pala iba yun, yun nga pala ang babaeng pinakamamahal nya, ako pala yung iba. Hahaha! I don't want him to suffer all his life to be with someone na kahit katiting wala syang nararamdaman. But first, I'll wait for him to say, "Ruby, I'm sorry, she's no longer my "ex", she's my present and hopefully my future". Sakit sa bangs nun dude!... Acceptance is the key! At ilang araw mula ngayon, magiging history na lang sya sa buhay mo, isang kwento na lang na itatawa mo hanggang mautot ka. Hahaha!

Call me tanga or anything, I'll accept that. Pero di ako nag-iisa, I'm pretty sure that each and everyone of us has a bunch of katangahan stories. Aminin!!!

Buntong-hininga na lang ang magagawa ko. But I won't ever regret it. At least I can tell myself, once in his life I made him happy. :) :) :)

This time, let's turn the lights on :)
