TopTenTuesday - Get over it...

We've all been through that phase... That phase where we're somewere in between. The place where you should be getting over someone. And you know that you're almost there, but not quite.

Here are the top ten things you should NOT do, when you're at this point.

1. Don't talk to the person too much.
Isang tanong. Isang sagot. Mahal mo ba ako? Este hindi... Basta don't talk to him/her too much. I'm not saying that you should completely ignore the person or not talk to them that it's actually noticeable that you're avoiding them... What I'm saying is that you should just go back to the way it was when you didn't like that person, you talked, but you didn't TALK talk.

2. Stop obsessing about their reactions.
Stop overanalyzing his/her actions to mean na mahal ka n'ya. Ano ba? Praning much?

3. Stop watching pakilig movies.
Chances are maalala mo s'ya at every moment. Watching pakilig movies will make you put yourself in that movie pretending that both of you are the lead characters... Tigilan. Hindi ka leading lady/man sa pelikulang ito. Kontrabida ka. (...Na naman.). Manood ka na lang ng Nightmare on Elm Street. Ay shucks, wait may naalala din pala ako don. Wag yun. Ahmm... Lichi, wag na lang manood ng movies period.

4. Stop reading/re-reading old messages, texts, chats
Ano ba? Stop na. Tigil na. Wala kang mapupulot na aral d'yan. Magbasa ka na lang ng news... Yung puro bad news ang basahin mo. Para ma-depress ka.

5. Stop thinking na may hope kayong dalawa...
Wala! Wala, wala, wala, wala, wala, WALA!!! Wala kayong hope. Unless gusto n'yo magyosi ng Hope, pero I hear nakaka-ngongo yun. Wala kayong hope.

6. Stop looking at his/her darn picture.
Ano ba? Hindi magiiba mukha n'yan. Hindi gagalaw yan. At hindi yan sumasagot ng mga panalangin.

7. Stop daydreaming.
Wala kang mapapala sa daydreams tungkol sa inyong dalawa. Kung magdaydream ka man. I-daydream mo yung nagaaway kayo kasi hindi ka parin maka-get over sa kanya. Tama isipin mo away kayo ng away tapos sasampalin mo s'ya tas aakma s'yang sasampalin ka din, tapos yun pala hahalikan ka. Ehek. Este. Ano ba? STOP DAYDREAMING!

8. Stop hoarding souvenirs.
Yung table napkin sa una n'yong pinagdate-an. Yung lalagyanan ng una n'yong pinagsalunan na sago't gulaman. Yung tuyo't na mga petals ng binigay n'ya sa'yong bulaklak. Yung wrapper ng candy or chocolate na binigay n'ya sayo. Yung lighter na iniwan n'ya sayo at kung anu-ano pa. Itapon lahat yannn!

9. Stop thinking na ikaw at ikaw lang ang makapagmamahal sa kanya ng tunay.
Sino ka? Ang master ng pagmamahal? Maraming marunong magmahal, hindi lang ikaw. Hindi lang ikaw ang marunong magtiis. Hindi lang ikaw ang martyr sa mundo... Yun nga lang yung ibang martyr nabaril na sa Luneta.

10. Stop listening to cheery cheery love songs.
Patayin ang Windows Media Player na nakaloop sa nagiisang kanta... At tigilan ang pagme-memorize ng lyrics...

"This will be an everlasting love. This will be the one I've waited for... This will be the first time anyone has loved me."

May paeverlasting everlasting love ka pang nalalaman. Lichi. Magtigil ka.
