To be adored is something, but to be respected is EVERYTHING!

We assume that it is love when a person makes your heart skip a beat, when everytime you look at that special person you want that moment to freeze and just stay that way forever or when the scent of them makes you feel like you’re high. I find the first story “Bread of Salt” very cute. Why? Because in real world this things really happen. You tend to do crazy things for love even if in the long run you’ll end up swallowing your own pride and looking stupid in front of everyone just like what happened to the story. The boy did everything just to get Aida notice him. He did everything to improve himself to somehow bridge the gap between the two of them. He daydreamed of them being sweet together. Yes, it’s sweet but at the same time it’s silly as well. You do everything for a person who isn’t even aware that you exist. Anyway, why am I being too negative about this? Actually I’m thinking that the guy just misinterpreted the girl for her actions. Maybe the girl is trying to be nice with him with the statement:

“Have you eaten?”

I turned around. It was Aida. My bow tie seemed to tighten around my collar. I mumbled something. I did not know what.

“If you wait a little while till they’ve gone, I’ll wrap up a big package for you,” she added.

The guy suddenly felt bad about it without thinking first. What if the girl is just being nice to him? I mean if I were the girl and I told a guy the same statement, I’m not thinking about “napaka patay-gutom naman niya, mag-intay lang siya na makaalis lahat ng bisita ibibigay ko na yung matitira sa kanya” or things like that. It’s more like “Maybe he’s too tired because of his performance and he can’t eat that much because of that or something.” It also happens that sometimes when you talk to a person you like, you forget everything you want to say and you have no choice but to automatically say the first thing that pops in your mind without any other option. Yes, it’s possible that the girl feels exactly just how the boy feel.

See? What if that’s the case, then he just trashed everything that he worked hard for. Those daydreams of him could’ve come true but because of being too sensitive about a simple thing he just threw everything away. Everything could have been a dream come true, what a mess. Well, I think I was a little bit carried away with the story thinking that too young heart could go steady with each other, that’s nearly impossible. Well, All I can say is life is too short to be unhappy. We should take chances and avoid regretting things because 60 seconds of grudge is a wasted minute we can’t get back.

The second story “Summer Solstice” is all about treating women right. I can’t understand why women here want to be adored while men want to respect them? What’s wrong with them? It’s nice and fluttering if people adore you but didn’t they think that every single woman can be adored by anyone but there are few ones that are respected. Those sexy girls are adored by every man but they aren’t respected. To be adored is something but to be respected is everything. What’s another confusing in this story is when the cousin’s husband of Doňa Lupeng is flirting with her considering the fact that she was actually married to his cousin and the girls seems like giving in. If I were in that position, I’m going to slap, slap, slap him for being so rude and impolite. If he don’t know how to respect a girl, at least respect his cousin. They share the same blood then he’s trying to betray him.

But then I couldn’t understand why the husband of Doňa Lupeng is being so calm knowing that he’s cousin like his wife. I thought he was the kind of guy that has side dishes, I mean along with his wife, he also have this girls with him. But in the end, I realized that he just respect and trust his wife so much that he knew she’ll never do anything that would tear their relationship. That he adore his wife but at the same time respect her too.

Well, I don’t have to say anything long about this story because every single point was tackled and discussed clearly. It’s just that every woman should put into mind that to be respected is far more important than being desired because these seven letter word RESPECT is what separates women from TOYS.
