a saccharine exaggeration

I log on to my friendster account whenever I get to log on to the internet. And lately, i almost always have time to surf the net -- for free!

Of course I've noticed, you know, the pictures uploaded by friendster users. Sometimes, the picture is all that matters.

Pictures of cartoon characters, anime, celebrities, cars, landscapes, portraits, group pictures and any visual thingamajig you can upload. I have a cropped nude picture. But lately, or maybe just today, I really noticed -- and i am annoyed -- by couple pictures. Like a boyfriend-girlfriend together picture. Know what I'm saying?

Heck yeah! I am single. And all of my high school and college friends are like "In a relationship." I am cool about being single. It's just a label anyway. Besides, I think that checking the In a relationship box is a jinx for my love life status. Har har!

Honestly, those couple pictures irritate me. Arrgh! Well, they're just so mushy especially with those captions! Corny! So PDA-ish and over publicized.

Boybi said I'm bitter. I'm not. Boybi said I am. I'm not. Boybi said I am. No. Boybi said I am, because I don't have a picture with a boyfriend to be uploaded for friendster. No I'm not bitter. Finally, maybe, but not quite. Probably just a PMS thing.

What happened to my hopeless romantic side? Things change. My outlook when it comes to love changed. Man, I have learned the art of detachment. At last. Or am I already cynical? Nah.

Like Atheism -- as I've heard from a classmate in Philosophy way back in my UPLB days -- you don't need to proclaim it to the world.

It. What it? Love. Like love. I believe so. I feel so. You don't need to advertise love. Love finds its way out one way or another.

Love brings you and your loved one out in the open whether you like it or not.

I have nothing against those couples proud of what they share, I think it's sweet. I guess I want to take the road less traveled this time.

It's always good to be mysterious sometimes.

To my sweetest illusion, let them think what they want to think. See what THEY see.

I know that was a joke. And you know I know you don't mean it. We are single right? And we don't need no picture!

Pictures paint a thousand words and I'm glad I paint pictures with you.

Hey Boybi! I'm not bitter! Come on! Check out your friendster friends, exaggerated right?

A saccharine exaggeration.
