"If you were to choose between love and career, what would it be? " I heard from my colleague. I paused from doing my work for a while and thought about it. For career-driven people, it might be one of the hardest questions.
"Ako, career. Ang hirap ng buhay para umasa lang sa pagibig." Answered by Lily while I remained on thinking what would gonna be my choice.
"Ikaw, Cat?" I glanced at Rose as she spoke to me. Everybody was waiting for my reply.
"Wala." I then said. Lily hissed.
"Isa lang nga, eh."
"Hindi pwedeng wala. Career or Love?" Rebutt by Rose.
"Wala nga."
"Bakit naman wala?" I looked at them and then at the papers in front of me.
"Because if it's True Love, everything will work out, not immediately but eventually," I said, silently hoping that everything will really work out for the best.
"So you don't believe that love is a sacrifice?" I lifted my head and stared at them.
"There is no love without sacrifice." I began. "Pero ibang usapan kasi ang career and love. If I choose love, I would probably feel a little regret for giving up my dream job while if I choose my career, I would surely feel devastated for letting go of someone who makes me happy. Mahirap mamili kaya as long as we love each other we will continue to find ways to work out everything."
I used to believe in that. I always thought that we can do something to make everything falls into its place.
Pero may hangganan pala ang lahat. Minsan kahit gusto mong ipaglaban, mas maigi kung susuko ka nalang. Susuko hindi dahil sa pagod o pagbabago ng dadamin ngunit sa sobrang pagmamahal.

A smile never leaves my face as I continue to watch him singing that beautiful song. That plaid coat looks perfectly good on him. Ang gwapo niya talaga.
He's a star now. A star that I'll never get tired of looking at. A star that's shining brighter day by day.
I don't want to take my eyes away from him. I want to engrave his breathtaking visuals in my mind. I want to cherish this moment. I want to remember how he looks at me with so much love and endearment in his eyes.
If I could only keep him in my heart. If I could just be with him for the rest of my life.
Ayokong sumuko. Ayokong iwan siya. Ayokong mabuhay na hindi siya kasama.
This is not what I want, but this is what I need to do.

Fanfic'Sometimes, to love is to sacrifice. It is about wishing and acting accordingly so that the person you love is happy and safe. Even if it is to sacrifice. It is because when we love someone we want to see that our loved ones are happy and safe, no...
