To the you who's reading this;

When someone dies, aside from the good words and compliments thrown here and there for the dead, you'll hear a lot of "sayangs."

"Sayang hindi ko man lang nasabing mahal kita/kung gaano kita kamahal."
"Sayang hindi man lang tayo nagkita."
"Sayang hindi man lang tayo nagkausap."
"Sayang inuna ko yung galit/tampo ko."
"Sayang hindi man lang ako nakahingi ng tawad."
"Sayang..."

Sa dami ng sayang, ano kasing ginawa mo?

Time runs out. People leave, either for a while, for the longest time, or forever. Hindi habang buhay makakausap, makakasama, makikita mo yung mga taong mahahalaga sa'yo. One minute they are there, kausap mo, binubulyawan mo, nilalambing mo, sinasapak mo, and then the next, wala na.

Lahat tayo, we tend to take time and people for granted. Pag galit ka sa isang tao, pinapairal mo yung galit mo, yung pride mo. Imbes na yung oras na galit ka eh ginugol mo nalang sa pakikipagunawaan at pagpapatawad, but no. Pag mahal mo naman, madalas inaabuso mo yung pagmamahal nila, be it your family, friends, boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives. Ni hindi natin inaappreciate yung mga bagay na ginagawa nila para sa atin. Kasi at the back of our minds, alam nating andyan lang sila anytime. Andiyan lang sila pag gusto mo na silang kausapin ulit. Andiyan lang sila pag kailangan mo sila, andiyan lang sila, nakaantabay, naghihintay. But we never know what tomorrow or even today may bring. Limitado lang ang oras natin, at pwedeng maputol yun sa anu mang pagkakataon.

So instead of hating each other and throwing expletives at one another, kung may kagalit kayong kaibigan, kapamilya, ka-syota, why not forgive. Don't let your pride get in the way of happiness and making beautiful memories with them. It's better than spouting lots of "sayangs" when they're gone. Time is as much as precious as everything. Perhaps it may be the most precious of all. Tell everyone you care how much you love and appreciate them. Because who knows, baka bukas wala na sila. We should always keep that in mind.

So, if you're one of those people who have access to this blog, that means you're precious, I love you and I appreciate you. Thank you for being a part of this life. :)
