Irony Of Life

Mabait ako through and through pero today I had this "wake-up call." Sa sobrang kabaitan ko ... I realized  parang nagagamit na ako.

Noon tahimik lang ako ... at lahat na aking ginawa ... yon ay dahil mahal ko sila.  Pero napansin ko ako lang pala ang nagmahal ... it was only a one way street. Isang pagmamahal na hindi man lang naibalik ... it was a case of unrequited love.

Napanood ko nga sa mga teleserye at pelikulang Pinoy ... noon ako pa ang may duda at nagtatanong "meron bang ganoong sitwasyon in real life?" May mga character na ang panaghoy ay tapunan man lang sila ng konting pansin. Phrases like "kahit konting pagtingin ..." "Palimos ng pagibig" at Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan?"

Palimos ng pagibig? Pati pag-ibig nagmakaawa na ... parang pulubi sa kalsada na naghihingi ng barya ... awa ... at limos?

Ang dami kasing WALANG PAKI ... dagdagan pa ng mga naglipanang ABUSADO who only care about themselves.

Sa mga da-barkads kong pareho ang sitwasyon ... mahalin at unahin natin ang ating sarili. There is no use chasing the love of your friends or family or partners.

Kung wala silang panahon para sa atin ... let us make TIME for OURSELVES!

Did You Know?

Above I use the phrase "through and through". Ano nga ba ang tama ... through and through ... or thru and thru?

The correct phrase is "through and through" as "thru" is considered an informal abbreviation of "through" and should generally be avoided in formal writing; "through and through" means completely or thoroughly. 

THROUGH is the only formally accepted spelling of the word. THRU is an alternate spelling that should be used only in informal writing or when referring to drive-throughs/drive-thrus.

Both "WALK THRU" and "WALK THROUGH" are acceptable depending on the context. “Walk thru” and “walk through” mean the same thing: To move through a place. To go over something carefully.
