"Mali pero masaya o Tama pero hindi masaya"

"Ikaw?" Tanong mo. "Mali pero masaya" I answered. "I would answer that If I were myself back then, But am not." I quickly added.
"So you mean you would choose the latter?" you asked, I just nod. "why?" was your next question. I sigh tapping my fingers at my knee, finding words as to answer your question.

"You see, things or rather anything that starts wrong, don't usually end up good, and you can't say 'I'm happy' if you know deep inside that things don't start good good." you look at me slightly nodding your head liking what I just said but I see something in your eyes like asking "Pero pwede naman itama ang mali diba?" then you voiced it out.

"Well.. Yes, of course. You can straighten it out, but how?" I asked you. I watch how you frown making your forehead furrows and lip pursuing as I wait for your response but I only got a glimpse of your questioning eyes. "Okay, then" I continued "I'll let you in a situation where you were given a chance to correct the said wrong you did, what then will you do?" I paused for a minute giving you time to think about my question. "You see if you choose to correct it, It'll affect the outcome. Going back at the very beginning 'Mali pero masaya' - you choose it 'cause it will make you happy, right?" I asked "so if ever you decide to straighten out your choices it'll lead you to the latter one. It is a cycle. You're on a cycle. You can't just go back and forth without doing anything, eventually on your way out figuring how this things went on how it is now, It'll slowly dry out your reasoning ending up doubting your choices." I said continuing my piece.

I looked at you, waiting for any follow up questions or thoughts you wanna share but instead "The latter one, 'Tama pero hindi masaya' right? what you chose." I nod as my response "Why?"

"As for me, choosing what's right might or might not end up making you happy at first specially if it's not what you want at the first place but I'd tell you this, you having the courage to choose the right choice despite any circumstances makes you at a positive viewpoint. You did a great job choosing the right choice. As for the 'unhappy' outcome it is a so-so situation, we are talking about happiness now here right? It is always our choice as I was saying, you are on a positive viewpoint now. What you need to do is to keep choosing what's right and see how will it goes and where and who you'll end up with."

In the end choosing right choice ends up making you happy, a true happiness.

"Well, that is just my opinion, mine to begin with." I added. "My own point of view."

You're more quite than the usual. Seeing how you behave now means something, and it is not anymore my claims.

How about you?
Yes, you.
What will you choose?
