when you say nothing at all

mahirap magbasa ng isip ng iba so mas maganda diba kung itatanong mo, ano ba ang problema o kung meron nga ba?

~~~

i'm the kind of person who tend to avoid conflicts in life, somewhat an escapist most of the time. i expect people to be more sensitive in my feelings for i am with theirs. but i understand a person may try and can only do so much and yet still not understand what is going on inside my head.

~~~

being recently married, one would expect na kami ay nasa honeymoon stage pa lang. ngunit dahil kaming dalawa lang ang magkasama sa bahay, hindi talaga maiiwasan magkainisan. minsan valid reasons minsan wala lang talaga.

~~~

oo, magkagalit kami kagabi.

~~~

ayun pala, dami pang pasakalye :D

~~~

i try and will keep on trying to resolve issues as soon as possible, but i'd rather not talk about it with you right then. in time, siguro. baka naman wala lang yun, baka naman meron pero masaya na ko kasi bati na tayo.
