23 Things Only People Who Love Spending Time Alone Will Understand
Nakita ko lang ang post na ‘to sa link na shinare ni Migz sa Facebook tapos ayun matic binasa ko and yes nakakarelate ako (di naman as in lahat). Napapa-this ako. Gusto ko lang ishare dito sabay relate na rin sa mga kaartehan ko in life. Tangina eto ang link (x) oh sino pa mga kagaya ko apir tayo dyan.
1. A weekend in which you have no plans, no responsibilities, and nowhere at all to be, ranks as one of the best weekends you’ll ever have. Dati talaga naglolook forward ako sa Sabado (nung wala pa kong Sat and Sunday class) para sakin eto kasi yung araw na para talaga sakin. Wala akong iisipin, wala ako masyadong gagawin. Chill lang. Gusto ko lang bigyan ng reward sarili ko, o ayan Sai isang araw na walang mandidisturbo sayo. Enjoyin mo na.
2. Sometimes friends will try to make plans with you and you have no reason to decline except for the fact that you just want to be alone that day. (Your plan is to have no plans, people need to understand that by now, right?) Pag may gala kaming magbabarkada tapos ayan plano plano na minsan umaandar ang yknow “gusto-ko-muna-mapagisa-kyeme” yung tipong just me, myself and I pero alam kong magagalit naman sila pag hihindi ako o ano kaya gagawin ko talagang itetext ko si Mama na “Ma, kunwari di mo ko papayagan ha? Sabihin mo may pupuntahan tayo.” tapos papakita ko sa kanila yung text tapos yehey! Happy kiddo na.
3. A good album, book, or television show can keep your attention far longer than any party, club, or bar could. Ay totoo ‘to. Album o kaya book, ayan. Minsan yan nga ang rason kung bakit napupuyat ako. Party? Pumaparty naman ako. Naging event organizer kyeme na nga kaming magbabarkada eh pero role ko? Minsan nasa sulok lang. Minsan paupo upo lang, nagoobserve lang sa mga tao. Minsan nakikijoin ako pero pramis di ko masabayan yung hyperness nila tinatamad ako naiimagine ko bigla kwarto ko at biglang gusto ko nang umuwi’t mapag-isa.
4. Going away to a remote cabin in the middle of the woods to just exist for a period of time sounds like the best idea for a vacation that you can think of. Matatakutin ako at nung nabasa ko ‘to yung movie na Evil Dead, Mama at Cabin In The Woods naiimagine ko. Kung may kasama ako kahit isa lang g pero pag nasa cabin na kami may kanya-kanyang mundo na kami. Magselfie sya kung gusto nya basta ako magbabasa ako o kaya magsosoundtrip habang nakaupo’t ini-enjoy ang view. Basta wag lang disturbo yung kasama ko. Wag madaldal masyado mga ganun.
5. There is nothing more exciting than planning a long, solo road trip, because you know you’re going to be able to think your thoughts, listen to your music, and play your audiobooks for hours and hours on end. Is there anything better? Eto. Eto talaga bet ko. Sa tuwing nagsa-soundtrip ako ng mga trip kong kanta naiimagine ko sarili kong nakasakay sa kotse. Road trip. Gusto ko aabutan ako ng sunset o kaya ideretso na natin, hanggang sunrise. Wala eh. Narerelax ako, makakapag-isip ng maayos, maeenjoy at mafefeel pa ang music.
6. When people say they can’t eat alone at a restaurant, you’re like, really? That’s one of life’s simple pleasures! Food? Good. A book? Good. No conversation whatsoever? Perfect. Laging sinasabi sakin ni Mamsie na di ko daw kayang lumabas na ako lang mag-isa. Kung alam mo lang ma nakailang gala na ako na ako lang talaga mag-isa and yes kumakain ako minsan na ako lang mag-isa at talagang nag-eenjoy ako. Patingin tingin lang sa mga tao sa paligid. Nag-oobserve. Minsan gumagawa ako ng kwento tapos ang mga characters eh yung mga taong nakikita ko sabay enjoy sa bogchi ko. Saya.
7. The worst trait any potential lover could have is “clingy.” You need your space like you need air to breathe. It’s essential. If they need to be around you all the time? Dealbreaker. Kaya di ko pa naiimagine sarili ko na magkakaboypren ulit. And talagang nag-agree ako sa sinabi ni crushy VJ Chino na yun nga pamiss konti, wag naman araw araw nagkikita o ano. Tangina mtb tayo Chino bebs chos.
8. Even if you are attached, you carve out hours of alone time just to keep your sanity (and to keep your relationship healthy and happy, too). Footspa di ako makarelate dito. Pero ang ganda ng Pitch Perfect 2 no?
9. The only person you’d ever consider marrying would be someone that also loves spending time alone, otherwise that thing’s never going to last. Tbh depende yan. Pag ikaw natamaan, wala na yang mga kaartehan mo na “Gusto ko ganito bla bla bla”. Wala akong pinaglalaban.
10. If anyone that knew you were to describe you, one of the words they’d use emphatically to do so is: independent. I beg to differ gusto ko lang mapagisa pero di na talaga aabot sa point na sosolohin ko na lahat. Sabi sa inyo di lahat ng nakalista dito nakakarelate ako eh.
11. Your intuition is on point because you spend an insane amount of time alone and cultivating it. Eto saks lang.
12. While people around you hate being single, you consider it such a joy to be able to be at the whim of your aloneness and this feeling is especially better if you live alone, because you have so much time to do all your little things that you do when nobody is around. Seryoso napaisip ako dati simula nung nagdrama yung tropa ko na gusto na nyang magkasyota na tangina pareho nga kaming single pero di naman ako ganun ka uhaw na magkaron agad ng karelasyon. Nageenjoy ako ngayon pramis pero what haunts me lang talaga is my past pero sige baka maiba na naman ang topic natin pero yes, ang saya kaya maging single. Walang magdidictate sayo kung ano gagawin mo at di nakakastress!!!
13. You’re always working on a project –usually something artistic– and you start to get antsy if you haven’t been able to work on it for a few days. Kaya minsan pag may naisip akong chenes talagang titingin agad ako sa kawalan o kaya hihiga’t iisipin ko kung pano ko sisimulan ‘to. Minsan sa resources lang talaga ako papalya eh kaya pag deins talaga talagang maghahanap ako ng alternative. Minsan magpapacute na ko sa parents ko maachieve lang ang gusto kong gawin. Gusto ko kasi agad-agad, sariwa pa sa isip ko eh kaya why not coconut.
14. When you do hang out with people, you prefer seeing them one on one or in a small group. The more intimate and deep the conversation, the better. May tatlo akong set of kadas charing. Yung isa etong nasa recent school chenes ko yung isa naman yung mga nasa kabilang school yung isa naman yung mga tropa ko nung HS at elem (combine forces na) pero pag hohol chenes, oo masaya pag madami chenes pero ewan seryoso mas trip ko pa pag konti konti lang kasi nakakausap mo talaga lahat eh. Kung madami kayo nagkakaron ng sari-sariling kemerut gaya nung may ginawa kaming movie magbabarkada. Ang dami nun. Pag tatambay kami sa bahay nina Liz, may nakatambay sa may pool may nakatambay naman sa loob. Di naman sa ano pero mas maganda talaga pag ano eh, mas intimate naks.
15. You are an observer –watching and studying people’s behavior– and, funny enough, are usually quite well-liked, which can serve to be a problem considering how much time you want to spend by yourself. Eto. ETO HABIT KO. Pag ako lang mag-isa, ay nako day. Wala na. Pero minsan naman kahit may mga kasama ako o ano talagang tatahimik lang ako. Steady lang pero nagoobserve na ‘ko. Sige magdaldalan lang kayo dyan, ayos lang ako dito nageenjoy din ako.
16. A full day by yourself makes you feel more you than anything at all. HA. THIIIIIS. AS IN YUNG TIPONG AKO LANG TALAGA MAGISA SA BAHAY WOOO SAYA.
17. You tend to enjoy cold, rainy weather, as it gives you even more of an excuse to hibernate in your home and read, sit by the fire, think, curl up, write in your journal. At minsan naman pag umuulan talagang nagha-hang utak ko. Pero nakasmile ako. O imaginin nyo? Kaya? Keri? Eh talagang gusto ko eh. Minsan nagdadasal pa talaga ako na sana uulan yung mga tropa ko naman rereact na wag naman daw sana. Ay.
18. If you are not thinking about life’s big questions, you must be dead. Pag ako lang mag-isa mga ganun, tahimik lang ako natural pero ang ingay ingay ng utak ko. Minsan kahit nasa kaligatnaan ng ano uhhh basta kahit may kasama ako tas busy kyeme chenes minsan biglang may magpa-pop up lang sa utak ko na ganito ganyan.
19. Because you put a premium on spending time alone, you are more present and attentive when you do spend time with people, because you don’t feel as though you’re missing out on time by yourself. Tangina di na ko mageexplain nasabi na.
20. You would much rather go on a hike or go to the beach by yourself than with anyone, which isn’t to say you dislike going with people, it’s just a more engaging experience when you do it alone. Dito ko na ikokonek yung sa roadtrip. Oha. Ganda ganda. Magmumuni-muni and shit mga ganun tapos saktong sunset. Rapsa.
21. Sure, it’s fun to drink wine with friends, but having a bottle of wine to yourself at the end of a long day? 100% perfect paradise heaven. Di ako umiinom sarreh. Pringles nalang, 100% perfect paradise heaven talaga lalo na pag solo ko. Charot.
22. Traveling to a new place by yourself (even if the new place is only ten miles away) is your idea of a great time. You are always either planning a solo adventure, going on a solo adventure, or coming back from one. Experiencing the world through your own eyes without anybody else’s opinion is not just a desire, it’s an essential need of yours. Eto plano ko pag makatapos na ‘ko. Gusto ko gumala. Gusto kong mawala. Gusto kong pumunta sa lugar na walang nakakakilala sakin. Walakong pake kung mawala man ako o ano, ginusto ko naman eh. HAHAHAHA tapos wooo the thrill mehn. Hay.
23. There is absolutely nothing that can touch the feeling of when someone cancels plans on you and you are suddenly left with surprise alone time. You’re all, “Oh good, more time to be with me!” and it’s truly an untouchable feeling of happiness. Talagang mapapa-
“Praise the Lawd! Salamat di natuloy!”
“Party party”
talaga ako.
