the difference between then and now

*

how can one's taste change?

i can't say for sure.

but all i know, that for the past few years, i am drawn to nice and 'buotan' people than the opposite.

when i was younger, i used to go for cool, interesting individuals (regardless whether theyre catty, or not their behavior is).

now, i still go for cool and interesting individuals, but most all of, i am drawn to someone's inside beauty and their demeanor more than anything.


if you're buotan,humble, and nice, you instantly become, genius, sexy and powerful in my eyes.

youre the coolest of the cool, the star in the bunch,and the cream on my pie. i'd fall head over heels in love with you. (and thats without a pun..ask my family how id "love" friends, youd think im a foolish teenager in love for the first time).


[your dress sense might be like you're in a time warp, your english might be broken as the cheap NFA rice, your IQ might be below national average levels or your face might look like angelina jolie after a botched up operation, but these wouldnt matter, you'd look the most gorgeous person on earth to me, and the most inspirational one at that].


afer all, unsaon man nang, bright, gwapa, pero ang batasan dili makaon sa iro?

there are values i want to instill in my younger siblings and the people around me, that i care for.

and if i start being with people whose values, id rather not show them, im actually contradicting myself.


i want to be with people that inspire me to be a better person. someone who will guide me to do good, than evil.

because if not, im sure giving my deposit to one big apartment in hell.

when i say nice/buotan, i dont even mean, a philanthrophering type, or the ones who are always giving to charities, or saving the world-kind. (charity is a way of life..some people give to charities but cant even give to their own relatives, talk about hipocrisy to the highest level.i always think charity starts at home).

i dont even mean someone who is religious or someone who goes to church everyday--no nothing like that (i hardly go to church myself). and as we all know, people can be religious without any spiritual effect.


what i mean with buotan, is simply that. buotan. dili mangaway, dili mag-una una, dili manghilabot basta dili hilabtan, dili mang judge, dili magbuot-buot, ug dili mag rumor mongering. (ive got those kinds in one "auntie" already, so i thank heavens im done with those type).


someone who just wants to deal with life, peacefully and lovingly, and who will be happy for others happiness, those to me are buotan. and i like that.

gaan dad-on ang buotan, dont you think? less drama. less chismis, less opportunities to sin against mankind. less headaches.and heartaches.


who said, i have big requirement criteria from friends?
