Last August 22, 2012, it was my sister's birthday but we weren't able to celebrate it because we were so busy. I grew up in a busy family and since I started working, I barely got the time to do some family stuff. In addition, at that same time I also went back to Cebu to arrange some of my papers.
I was alone in the apartment. I got nothing to do so I took my phone scrolled all my contacts and luckily I found my High School best friend's number. I texted him, just trying my luck if he still haven't changed his number. After a few minutes, he called me. I shared to him all the latest happenings in my life as he shared his' also. Almost all of my best friends in high school are guys. I really feel more comfortable with them though I also love my girl buds but having male friends is really advantageous. They can give you a different perspective that a female can't.

The main point of our topic was about love life and he opened up to me about the famous quote from the movie "Courageous". It was a very beautiful quote that really caught my heart and mind because it was true. The quote indeed talks about reality when it comes to men. There was a scene where a father tells his young daughter this quote: “I know how young men are. They want to win your heart but they don’t know how to treasure it.” Hearing these words, I realized indeed the father was right. I never had a boyfriend in my entire 22 years of existence here on Earth but I had suitors and some of them we share mutual feelings but they got tired after a few months and gave up. As a young, dignified Filipina, I have to accept every young man who surrenders and try to move on. I was brought up in a very conservative family. My mom and dad were good disciplinarians. I entertain suitors but as a conservative Proud Maria Clara type, I always give my suitors challenges and time to prove their love and sincerity to be my first official boyfriend. Sad to say, as time flies, I only realized that young men, usually men of my age, only want to get the "first boyfriend" title but they never had the intention to treasure my heart and to take care of me. And so that's the sad reality of young love or puppy love maybe... Young men always think of winning and having something to brag to other people but not all of them. There are a few out there whom you can also trust and maybe they are also willing to treasure your heart. So, never loose hope and never stop believing in true love and fairy tales... If there's faith, there's hope for a dream come true... Always Reis Your Heart out and love, love, love... :)
