I remember my first year in high school in our English class when our Odette-Khan look-a-like teacher initiated a debate on how real Love At First Sight is.The class was divided into two. I chose to join the affirmative side even though i have no idea of what Love was at that time, let alone Love at First Sight. My seat-mate, Jonathan was into it, so with my Sheryl Cruz naiveness i went with his vibe.
The group of 12 and 13 year-old's was suddenly transformed into 1980's Vietnam of words. I was like Tweety Bird in Gaza Strip, not understanding why I was there. I tried to preoccupy my mind with how to help raise the Philippine Flag against Japan. Without any hope, and having a bad English tongue, I decided to zip my lips and enjoy the show.
As the battle of ideas continues, unexpectedly, Jonathan's tone of voice mutated from that of Sarah Michelle Gellar's to that of Sarah Michelle Gellar's with 22 microphones. He was no longer Mahatma Gandhi..... he became Miriam Defensor Santiago. And later became even worse, he was Charlize Theron as Aileen Wournos for the kill. It was like witnessing the transformation of Dr Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. From then on, I chose to sit with hygienic Criselda rather than the mutant Jonathan in every English class we had. Chos!
It is sad to know how deep our opinion matters to us. Especially when there is someone who questions it. It is more sad when this someone who questions matters to you a lot. Someone you look up to like you do with Jose Rizal. Mas nakakapikon yun.
I dont believe in Love At First Sight anymore. It's idiocy! And if you disagree, lets just say... we have different points of view! Tse!

aaaaaay blog entry in a blog entry itetch! sorry ate lyka.
grade 5 ako when i ran for the student government P.I.O. my rival was a grade 6 pupil named Paul. he was taller then me, spanish-chinese mestizo, tsaka may dimples. at first very friendly kami to each other, pa smile smile during campaign period, especially kung magkasalubong ang party namin sa mga hallways in between room-to-room campaigns. dahil ayoko talagan matalo, always kung inisip si Paul, paano ko sya dudurugin.
it turns out i was beginning to obsess: naging first infatuation junkie ko ang kalaban ko. ang sick no?
to make it short: Nanalo ako by 100 votes, wowing them with my natural charm and eloquence. charisse pempenks!
twist: na disqualify ketch dahil hindi naman daw ako officer sa section namin in the first place. (tanga tanga ng adviser ko!)
ending: si Paul ang i-deniclare na winner. yes, he never talked to me again.
mhmm.. me i do...
hopeless romantic kasi ako...
i believe in signs i beliv in butterflies i bliv in happy endings
ayun ang dami ko pang i blv kaya ewan ko kaya siguro magulo buhay ko!

When I was younger mahilig ako makipagdebate..now I don't have the time and energy.
I'd rather make love than debate, failing that masturbate will be fine too!! ay! ano va yan!
... Scarred for life by freaky Jonathan!!! Sana kasih nag meet tayo and we formed Charles Angels kaagad! Kaw si Kate Jackstone ha! Type mo? And then ako naman si Jackolyn Smith! Sino nama si Farrah?
jase,
ako si farrah.
It's temporary.. Hahaha!! I don't believe in it as well!! :)
I believe in Lust at first site though! Hahaha...
kahit di ko pa napapanood ang movie na Closer (julia robert, jude law).. gustong gusto ko ang tag line ng movie: If you believe in love at first you never stop looking..
so lyka, i had to differ...
love, i think is combination of all emotions and desire--not just a singular feeling alone.

@Rik32Miles: Ano naman ang kinalalaman ng masturbation sa love and debate?
