"Look, it's a bird.......noh, it's a plane...It's.......TADZ??!"
Believe it or not, Superman is my bestfriend. FAITH made a wrong turn and suddenly, (unfortunately?), He became my bestfriend.
Nah, I'm not talking about CLARK KENT of Smallville who came to earth as a baby from the planet Krypton. I'm referring to TADZ. A very simple, napakakulit, weird, ordinary, looking guy raised in a proud town of Negros.
I'm once surfing the internet when i saw this'guy profile. There is nothing special about it. I just wanted to make friends so i left him a simple HI. He then replied and we became friends. He then confided me his biggest secret he didn't tell to anyone even his family.
"Know what best, saktong sakto ang pagdating mo sa buhay ko. Kahit papaano napapasaya mo ako."
I can still remember the words. It's barely a week the first time I met him when he told me that. I asked what's the problem. He told me he's in pain.
"A week before now, naging bestman ako sa isang kasal. Matagal ko na pangarap na maging bestman, excited ako. Pero d ko alam, na ang kauna unahang bebestman-an ko ay ang taong mahal ko."
While he's telling his story, I felt like I'm watching Julia Roberts' "My Bestfriend's Wedding."
"Four years kami nagsama. Four years kami naging masaya. He's all time wish is to have a baby. That is not possible considering na ganito kami...alam mo na. One time, isinama ko siya sa province and ipinakilala ko siya sa isang girl. Naging sila habang kami. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Hindi ko alam ang iisipin ko. Mahal na mahal ko siya. Pero ayaw niyang tumanda na walang pamilya. Hinayaan ko sila kahit nasasaktan ako. Nagdecide sila na magpakasal. Alam kong mahal niya ako pero mahal din niya ang mga pangarap niya at ang pamilya niya na sa kanya umaasa. Ayaw niyang magbreak kami kahit kasal na sila. Pumayag ako sa set-up na kahit kasal na siya ay kami pa din. Pero alam ko sa sarili ko na sa oras na ikasal siya. Natatapos na dun ang lahat. dahil kung ipagpapatuloy namin, madaming tao ang masasaktan. Napakasarap isipin na nasa harapan ka ng altar sa mismong kasal ng mahal mo pero napakasakit tanggapin ang katotohanang hindi ikaw ang pakakasalan niya. May karapatan ako sa kanya. Gusto ko tumutol sa kasal niya. Pero wala akong ginawa, DAHIL SA MAHAL KO SIYA."
Many of us are cowards. Coward to let go of someone we truly love. Selfish enough to hold on when it is time to let go. "If you love someone, set him free, if he comes back, he's yours, but if not, he never was". I dont fully understand the meaning of this quote until I met him. I can say he is better now though time left a deep scar on him. If I'm in his situation, I don't know what i might do.
SUPERMAN is my bestfriend. He is very strong. He's pasts are very painful. But he accept these and it make him even stronger. Thanks to his very positive outlook in many things, it inspires me. With him beside me, with him guiding me, I know I will be safe.
I'm so proud of you BEST. I'm glad I'm your sidekick. Hehehe

uhmm... i understand the feelings of being hurt and left by someone u truly love. sometimes, some says that some smart people become stupid when they love. and one of them is me. we have to sacrifice our love for the sake of greater good - of other people's happiness. it has been always said that this kind of relationship does not lasts forever,but in my opinion, if two persons are realy loving each other and fighting for it no matter what, they will achive contentment and happiness. there's no perfect relationship, but for me, what it makes closer to perfection is the love which two people give to each other. (take it from a perfectionist!lol). Just live your life to the fullest and love no matter what happens. To end this favor of a new friend (hehe!), i just want to leave a question, in our society today, who or what dictates us who to love, how and how much??? But for me, it is only myself, our own human nature who, when and how im gonna love with all of my heart. thank you! ayan ha, meron na!tropa na tayo basta wag mo lang ako ifeature dito!!!hahahaha!
