Inexperieced

Probably like 2 weeks ago, there had been a buzz about this short film "Strangers, Again". I didn't bother to watch it because I thought it was one of those yet-another-cheesy love story. I only watched it because of a friend and I guessed that maybe it is a unique film.But I guessed it wrong. Strangers, Again presented a very realistic story about the process that a couple goes through. According to the film, relationships experience 7 stages: Meeting, The Chase, Honeymoon, Comfortable, Tolerance, Downhill and Breaking Up.
After watching it, I admit I wasn't like the rest of its audience who had way long hangovers because of the film. And I know the reason why. Those people can relate to it. They saw themselves in the movie through the characters. They have undergone those 7 stages. They had a connection in story.
The things I have just mentioned are not at all me. I never saw myself in the movie. I, in even the tiniest way, cannot relate to the story. Lastly, I have not undergone those 7 stages. Don't get me wrong. I'm not sad that things roll this way. I just noticed that my lack of 'experience' have made me different from the rest of the people around me, especially my friends.
I know that time will come for me to face those 7 stages. I just have to wait.
Thoughts about labels

We live in a stereotypical world because of labels. High school is a very classic example. Think back. During your high school years, there would always be the jocks, the plastics, the nerds, the goths...and the list goes on and on. Not to mention "jejemon" is an added label. But come to think of it, labels doesn't give the totality of a person. For sure there is an inner geek in every cheerleader and a hidden compassion in every plastic.I'm just sad that labels still exist in college. Sometimes I ask myself, "Ano ba ang napapala natin sa pagllabel ng mga tao?" I think that if one chooses a path that is not what is the society usually encounters, then it is best that the people should respect that person. I believe that we respect by accepting the people around us not by their capabilities but their personality in itself. As long as there is no harm present, then I don't see the reason why we should be so stereotypical.
Naisip ko lang bigla at nakakalungkot lang.
