12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country by Alexander L. Lacson
1.0
I felt like I was reading an essay written by a high school student. Anyway, the 12 things were doable. (Afterall, they were "little things.") But there was too much "elaboration" on each to-do that the author tended to veer away from the topic.
More people would probably read it if it was an article on the newspaper. Or a blog entry. That was easier cascaded. Plus, you'll get the message through to a lot of people.
At one point, I can't help comparing my reaction to my friends' comments when that article tackling the RH Bill on UST's The Varsitarian came out. They were like, "Ano ba, nasa panahon pa ba tayo ng mga Kastila?!" and "Prayle ang nagsulat nito!" Hahaha! Oh well.

"I'm going to make the world more beautiful. What are you going to do? Make money? I'm so impressed."
He was trying to maintain a severe demeanour and failing. “You’re full of contradictions, Ms. Wallace.”
I looked up at him and arched a brow. “I’m a girl. That’s part of the job description, Mr. Maxfield.”
My last coherent thought, as Lucas took his time kissing and touching every part of me he could reach and my body arched into his, was oh… so this is what all the fuss is about.

“So you met the right woman, and you were suddenly ready to settle down?”
“Yeah.”
“It was that simple?”
“Love doesn’t have to be complicated, Anne,” he said trying to look worldly and sage.
Hell, maybe he was worldly and sage. Or maybe he was full of shit. But his wedding band was real. He was really married.
“There’s someone out there for you, Anne.”
“Sure. Right.”
God, why do I care so much? Why do I need to be with someone, to be married? I have a career and great friends. Why isn’t that enough? But is it so unreasonable to want more from life? To want what so many other people have? I want a permanent connection with someone who loves me. I want to have kids. And not alone, in the spermbank-supermom way. I want by-products of me and the one I love. To see his elbow or the slope of his shoulder in miniature, whoever he is. If there ever is a he.

I believe in falling in love. But not just after a few days of knowing each other.
But I think I also believe at love at first sight. Hahaha ewan.

Why are men – and boys – so weird?

3.5 stars.
A little more than geeky than I could handle.

My song starts again, and I flop back on my bed, breathless. This is one of those moments you live life for, I’m sure of it.
