I found a rather interesting echo to my sentiments early Sunday morning. See, I was at CBTL picking the brains of someone and it turned out that we had the same idea about cancellations—that they’re simply annoying and a pain in the goddamn arse.

Don’t get me wrong. Accidents, emergencies, or simply wouldn’t-make-it-because-something-important-came-up-but-I-really-wanted-to-go is okay. But those who are aware that they have committed to something and yet still carelessly did something which led to cancellations is rather annoying. Or worse, failing to set the alarm on time and ending up waiting. What people kind of fail to understand, is that there are people who actually make time—reach out, in fact—and make an effort to spend time with people because they want to be with them, and some of them are already given priorities anyway, and they still end up managing to ruin your plans, your day, and your heart.

So yeah, that’s a totally new look at the term, “paasa.”

That’s kind of the sad thing, isn’t it? That some people just don’t understand the effort people place in to be with them.

Anyway, there’s also this some interesting view of things when someone cancelled on me this weekend as well—but an emergency happened. I didn’t mind. I was tired, but I kind of really wanted to spend time with her anyway.

I read her sms. And was placed on a stump the whole day. See, I even tried getting some people’s opnion of things: like, how do you positively put down someone’s invitation, if it’s let’s say, an emergency of some sort? People offered their views, but I can’t quite get the answer I wanted. Maybe I asked the wrong question.

But what I didn’t get to really understand, is how she smsed me about it: “…as much as I want to see you.”

Some people would say:

“As much as I wanted to go.”
“As much as I want to be there.”
“As much as I want to hang out.”

But she said: as much as I want to see you.

Whooo. Ngiti, JC. Masyadong malaki ang ngiti. *laughs*
