Walking Away

I'm starting to think that Kris Aquino and I live parallel lives (minus the incidents of the last two weeks ha). It also doesn't help that people, including my Tita and mom, keep saying that smart people become dumb when it comes to love. For those anti-Dancing King fans out there, it wasn't my fault that my gaydar was malfunctioning for 1.5 years, okay?! Besides, something did come out of it: I learned to always listen to the majority of people when it comes to detecting one's sexuality. HaHa. I was just in denial. See? I have even admitted it na.

Since I am now regarding Kris as my long lost twin sister (in love and life lang naman), my question to her detractors is this: why need to hate her for loving someone? Shouldn't we chastise those who are hating others instead?

The only problem (based on my experience only) is that Kris doesn't know how to walk away. Just like a box of Krispy Kreme donuts, you leave those "innocent" things alone. Don't pick it up, don't get a taste of it, just walk away. You also burn calories in the process which is killing two birds with one stone, really. Kidding aside, the rule of thumb is to know you're worth as a person. Don't go drinking other people's coffee when you can buy your own...and have it twice the quality of the others' coffee. Get it? Just because the donuts and coffee are there for free, it doesn't mean that you can't buy your own and have the donut and coffee the way you want it (not settling for those nasty creme-filled ones because all you really want is a simple glazed one).

But just like people who indeed have learned from their past mistakes, I'm happy to find out that Kris is finally walking away (insert Craig David's "Walking Away"). She said it best on The Buzz today: you can't start anew when you keep coming back to the past. In order to move on, you need to let go of what you don't want/need. I agree and I'm putting on my walking shoes as I type.
