The S #1 Hindi ako santa. I'm not nice on a daily basis. I've done things that conservatives and prudes will frown upon. I've got vices and guilty pleasures. I've done things that good and obedient students wouldn't. I've done the worse thing that you could do to a friend. Yeah, people will say I'm bad, but I don't care though. I'm every bad thing... And he's the complete opposite of me. He's an achiever, he's nice and patient, he's prim and proper, he's all things that are good. Me? I'm bad for him. I will only drag him down. That's what they say.... But will I care this time, though?

The S #2 There are different kinds of love in the world. May pagmamahal para sa pamilya, para sa kaibigan, para sa mga taong malapit talaga sayo, at bukod tanging pagmamahal para sa isang tao. Loving freely is an idea that seemed easy, but in reality, it is not. Some love are unrequited, some love are too much, some love are martyr, some love aren't enough, and some love... are doomed to be kept and hidden, until the heart burns out from loving quietly and ends up fading until you can't hear it beating anymore.
