Hi po and Welcome sa Manila Stars! Hindi ka Tanga, Sir Just Checking. Bakit di mo hayaang kaibiganin mo ng maigi ang crush mo -get to know her better? I think she'd appreciate na maging prangka ka sa kanya kasi women appreciate candidness naman only huwag ka namang bastos. Don't be someone else's support system . You can't take care of the whole world and people need to be responsible for themselves. Lastly, its not reasonable for someone to expect you to take care of them or their family - you got other things to deal with in your life. Sumasaiyo, Ate Kat

Netflix had launched a documentary series called Worn Stories that featured people's meaningful pieces of clothing that were part of some very interesting event in their lives - bad and good. Filipinos are very sentimental when it comes to things that gave meaning in their lives. It can be a watch, a pair of canvas shoes, a worn out buckle of a belt or a faded tote. You need to take a picture of it or you can steal a photo on Google and write what's your sentimental memory, good or bad, sad or mad!

Dear Kat, I love your posts a lot. This one just put sicks in my eyelids, somehow I managed not to blink from start to finish.

Salamat Ate Kat, tama ka na hindi ko problema ang problema nya at ng iba, kaya nainis ako sa sarili ko na I acted on impulse on the situation. And yes alam naman nya na more than friends ang gusto ko dahil niyaya ko na sya mag date twice but always busy. Kaya mas maigi na lang to distance myself from her at hindi rin naman sya nag reciprocate in kind in communication unless may gusto lang sya tanungin.

A pair of All Stars Adidas ( Not my shoe on pic but similar) I was 18 years old and barely knew how to tie shoelaces. I figured if I'd buy a pair of adidas, my date would like me. he's nuts on sneakers and I'm not the type of girl who does but I would for just the day. It was raining in UP Diliiman on a friday afternoon when I hopped down from the Jeepney across the building where he's studying his Masters. I lived for quite long ways to see him and he offered to drive me back home after our date. I huddled towards the waiting area with a couple of students waiting for the next jeepney. I took my phone out of my bag and sent a text to Diego where I am. As I was waiting, I looked towards my feet and my laces were untied. I was fuzzing over white laces drenched with brown mud and I still couldn't do it. It was only when he came to pick me up that I yelled that I'm stuck with the f*kin shoe laces that he parked and rushed towards me. He gave me the look - the KUYA look ( the look that makes you feel 'inis' and loathing).and bent his knees and started to tie the laces. We rushed into his car and he drove quickly as he can so the people can go inside the jeepney. I was horrified that he learned my secret, I felt exposed and He didn't mind for one bit that I can't. We went to our usual stuff - eating in a burger joint and talking about school and work and drive home. That pair of shoes walked a thousand rides to UP Diliman and numerous strolls in the Sunken Gardens that it worn me out. I guess I got tired waiting under overpasses and School buildings. When a relationship is limited to someone else's time and you can't go around it - it's time pick up a new pair and move on. I kept the shoes though and still couldn't tie any better.
