Why?

Why do we wait? I mean waiting in general. When you wait, you let time pass. Everything's so contradictory. Isn't time precious? So why wait, right?

But I love waiting. The very act gives me so much time to reflect on a lot of things and issues that bother me. Waiting may come in many forms. I could be waiting for a friend who's taking his PE class. I could be waiting for my change from one of the stalls in the college cafeteria. I could be waiting for the red light to turn green while driving.

To wait is to burn time's lifeline. In burning time or as we say in "killing time", we waste endless would-be life-changing opportunities. It's ironic how some can say that they've lived a full life even though they've spent a lifetime waiting in vain for something they've never ended up getting.

Waiting may be a waste of time. Waiting may be a way of showing how important something matters to you. Waiting can mean a hullaballoo of things.

So while waiting, what do you do?

Now there's a question... Hmmm there are so many possibilities... I mean, why just sit around?
Do we have to be immobilized by waiting? I'm coming to learn that waiting is something very powerful. "It" (waiting) can show how much of a person you are. It shows you how worthwhile the things you're accomplishing are.

Imagine that... Who would expect that this simple act can play a defining and influencial part in our lives?

In life, I have been waiting for so many things. Some disappoint while some allow me the grace of happiness and contentment... Maybe someday, I will learn how not to wait for things.

Waiting is the act of expecting. How do I lie waiting but not lie expecting at the same time?

Personally, I don't like waiting.. Pero di ko alam baki ko ginagawa. Hehae. I guess, love really makes us do anything. Waheahe. Ang badooy, pero totoo. Hehae. Wala lang. :)

Hey Yumi. Yeah, I know that. I've known that fact ever since. And that's the weird thing coz... ewan... I don't know what to think, feel or say anymore. I guess I'm damned. This sucks. Reflect yeah... I've been doing so much of that. I'll just implode one day I guess. I just might snap.

Does time pass when you wait? Do good things come to those who wait? I waited my whole life for one thing... and then I got something else. I grew up in between. Yeah, you're in your truest form while you wait.
