The Sign

Nagbabasa ako ngayon sa wattpad ng isang story. I really love reading stories of my favorite author.

I wonder, is it possible that I also have a lover? I mean, I'm gay and in our country, it's not normal for two guys to fall in love with each other.

Is there someone who is really meant for me?

Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagbabasa ko ng story sa wattpad...

Blue rose doesn't exists in nature. Blue rose are dyed white rose. Another meaning of the blue rose is that it symbolizes the impossible, or the unattainable.

Since the blue rose itself is a rarity in nature, it stands for something that is hardly within one's grasp, an object that seems too difficult to be achieved. Thus the blue rose is admired and revered as an unrealizable dream.

The blue rose being in itself something very extraordinary expresses that very same feeling. "You are extraordinarily wonderful", the blue rose exclaims.

A truly wonderful personality, almost chimera-like is what the blue rose says about the receiver. It also means immortality.

A flight of fancy, an irrepressible imagination is what the blue rose is all about. Blue rose also stands for "A lover".

Is it true? I never know that blue rose is a good symbolism for love. It's kinda sweet and genuine.

Sabihin niyo man na masyadong bading pakinggan pero naniniwala talaga ako sa signs. Why? We have our own preferences and beliefs in life.

Sige nga, if someone is really meant for me then he will also give me a blue rose just like what I've read from this story.

By the way, enough for an intro. I'm Art... Just like my name, I am quite artistic. I appreciate every artwork that I see.

My room is full of canvas with different kinds of paintings. Sounds great, right? Wala naman kasi akong ibang ginagawa kung hindi ang mag-drawing or mag-painting.

Hindi naman sa pagyayabang pero alam 'kong cute naman ako. I'm not that handsome but I'm cute. It has a huge difference.

"Arturo! Bumaba ka na nga diyan! Late ka na sa school mo!"

Aaaarrrgghhh! Nakakaasar si mama!

"Hey! 'Wag niyo po ako tawaging Arturo! Art kasi! Art ang nickname ko!" Inis 'kong sigaw.

Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at nakahanda na pala ang almusal...

"What's wrong with Arturo? You are my junior," my dad said.

I hate it... I just rolled my eyes. They really make fun of me because of my name.

My dad is an engineer and my mom is an accountant. Obviously, sabay-sabay kaming pumapasok at gabi na kami magkikita-kita sa bahay.

Well, I'm very thankful that I have a simple family and a simple life.

I'm very thankful because they accepted me for who I am. Yes, they know that I'm gay.
