A Philosophy about Love (not mine!)
I got this from a friend on Multiply. In the spirit of love and affection, I'm translating (Pinoy audience, bear with sad quality of said translation) and hoping folk will enjoy...
Mga Pilosopiya ni Bob Ong ukol sa Pag-ibig
The Philosophy of Bob Ong about Love
(just don't ask me who Bob Ong is, I have *no* idea...)
1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya.."
If you don't love someone, don't show any motive to make that person love you.
2. "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."
Don't let go of someone that you can't stand to see held by someone else.
(Kind of obsessive, maybe, if the other party wants to be held by someone else, but...whatever.)
3. "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."
Don't hold on (to someone) that you know you're going to let go.
4. "Huwag na huwag kang hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
Don't ever hold on (to someone) if you know you've already got someone in hand.
5. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."
It's like an elevator - why do you want to squeeze yourself if there's no place for you? You've got stairs available, you just don't want to notice.
6. "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."
If you're waiting for someone to seduce you, nothing's going to happen in your life. You have to be seductive, too.
7. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
If you love someone and the someone doesn't like you, leave it alone. You never know, in the future, you won't like the someone, you were just beaten to the punch.
8. "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa katangahan kundi pagkukusa."
Separate if you're not happy. There's no remedy for stupidity except self-will.
9. "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
If your love doesn't love you, don't complain. Because there are those whom you don't love who love you...so it's quits.
10. "Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una."
If you have two loves, choose the second. Because you wouldn't love anyone else, if you really loved the first.
11. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa."
It's not because you're always chatting, talking on the phone, together on dates or texting from one to forever that the person likes you and you'll be together. It's just that there are people who are friendly, sweet, flirt, seductive, lead you on, or let you hope.
12. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka."
Don't rush when it comes to women or men. Three, five, ten years, your outlook will change and you'll realize that it's not right to choose a partner based on beauty or lust. It's true that a person's character is more important that anything else. As time goes by, the neighborhood crush starts to look like pandesal (a kind of bread bun), believe me.
13. "Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority."
Even you are on their schedule, you have to wait, because you're not the priority.
14. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya."
It's hard to play a role in a person's life. Especially if you're not the lead in the script that they've chosen.
15. "Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo."
Do you know the distance between two people when they've turned their backs on each other? You'll need to travel the world over just to face once again, the person you've turned your back on.
16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala”
It's better to have failed at trying to do something than being successful without doing anything.
17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan”
Not everything that you understand is the truth, and not everything you don't understand is a lie.
18. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!"
If you love someone you shouldn't, and you get hurt, don't blame your heart. It only beats to supply your body with blood. Now, if you are smart in anatomy and you blame your hypothalamus that controls your emotions, you're still wrong! Why? Oh, PUHLEEZE. Don't blame your body organs for your emo angst at life! Remember, you'll only be happy if you learn to accept that it's not your heart, brains, liver or intestines that are to blame for everything that happens to you - it's YOU!
19. "Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal...nakakatakot mahulog...at kapag nahulog ka, it's either ginusto mo magpatihulog, by accident or talagang tanga ka lang.."
Love is like a manhole...scary to fall into...and if you fall, it's either you wanted to fall, it was an accident, or you're just really stupid.

I'd make my non-Pinoy friends read Bob Ong if I could. *wistfully*
