Do yourself a favor! Fall in love with the right one. =)

~ Love is the cruelest form of affection, and the sweetest form of torture. ~

Playing with love is like playing with fire. You play carefully trying not to hurt and burn yourself; you keep a distance, not too close but not that far either. You want to feel the heat but you try not to lure too much. Just like in love, we don’t let ourselves fall so hard because we don’t want to get hurt in the end. We try to build a wall and sometimes we tend to back off when we feel were almost falling. What we do is just play with love; you flirt, hook up and pretend we feel nothing towards someone, but deep inside, just a simple glance from that person makes your day. Silly isn’t it? We play with love and it’s too late for us to realize that it’s not us who really played with love, its love that played with us. Because the more you try to hide your true feelings, the more it will grow. The more you try to feed yourself it’s not love, the more you realize its love actually and the more you back of from the person you really love, the more you’re drawn to them. So if you think you’re falling, just follow your heart and don’t think about the hurt you’ll get when you let yourself fall. Take chances because it’s better to give it a try even if it hurt in the end, at least at one point you feel happy and loved than not try at all, yeah you don’t feel the pain that goes with love, but you never also feel the pleasure that only love can give.



Just like what happened in the story “Games” The girl is actually falling for the guy but she doesn’t want to show it. She was playing it cool. She made up false name like Tina, Fannie, or Malou just for fun, or maybe she wants to let everyone else think that he’s got one hot boyfriend, a chicker, mr. popular, probably a big catch that every girl would be jealous about. At first I thought she’s not serious, It’s as if she’s a real player, someone whose used to dumping guys easily and after an hour or two, she’s already got someone new. But upon reading further, I can say that she was just acting as if she’s strong, when in fact she’s got lots of insecurities, I figured it out when she was raged with fire when the guy accidentally is just few steps away from her ex-girlfriend. She was boiling with rage, she hate the fact that the guy and his ex actually talked. Right then and there, I realized that she was just showing off, she was trying to tell the whole world that she’s not in love; she’s too shy of letting her true feelings out. Yes, she’s got the nerve to tell the guy she cares, that she loves him, but not enough to show it.

In the long run, when she thought she was doing the right thing of just playing with love to get away from pain, she found out she was the one who get played. That the guy she loves was the real player. He was having an affair with his ex-girlfriend while he was hooking up with her. He’s a sweet talker, he tells her sweet things like he loves her but hell, and he doesn’t really mean it. It’s like the kind of guys that would feed you up with lies just for a girl to shut up and not talk anymore. This thing really happen, yes it’s sad but we should face the fact that love and pain go hand in hand. Maybe it’s really true that no pain means no love. So just do yourself a favor, fall in love with the right person. Everyone is going to hurt you, so the best you can do is go for the one who’s worth all the pain, worth all the tears and worth all the sacrifices. Besides, in the end, it’s not how much you suffered but its how much you loved.

The modern and old fictions don’t differ that much. I find this story a little bit similar with The Corral, it has something to do with guys that are not serious, guys that are show off. Pilar, the girl who likes Gregorio did everything just to get the guys attention, but whatever it is that she do, Gregorio never really care. He was flirting with her probably because he’s aware that Pilar like him, it’s as if he was just playing her game which is exactly what happened in the story by Noelle Q. De Jesus. They played love instead of dealing with it seriously which ended in hurting the feelings of another person. Sad but true. =(
