Placebo Effect

Just got back from a very special day over at the “Shang “ in Mandaluyong. Guys I suggest going over at the 6th floor Starbucks and spend a time with your “very special” someone. Nice ambiance and the lighting make the overall experience soothing and relaxing. Now to begin!
Head Spinning. Feeling light headed. Almost a natural high! Wow! That was my initial reaction when I first had my nicotine high. It felt so good that I exclaimed “Ang Sarap Mag Yosi”! But then again it was temporary. Just like most of the things that you encounter. With respect to the emotional, physical and mental aspects of life. We usually indulge in this pseudo fantasies and realities, which give us a sense of satisfaction and completeness. But do we have the power to decipher which among these so-called “Placebo Effects” are real?
Lets begin with the basic situations:
Example 1:
Boy just separated with the love of his life. After enduring so much pain (which he himself caused after cheating on his girl) the guys finally realizes it’s time to move on and go soul searching (“hmmm that wasn’t a very good term to use). He then finds Girl no 1. AT first Girl no.1 seemed to be the spitting image (at least physically of his past girlfriend and he struggles shaking off mental hallucinations that both of them are the same girl (i.e. “I see you in her” effect). After finally mustering the strength to face his worst fears he finally realized that girl no.1 is the one who made him forget about his ghostly haunting. He was so happy and satisfied, that he got his sense of “caring” back.
He himself was convinced that this girl was the one that triggered that “letting go effect” slowly but surely he was falling in love again. It was nice, tense and exciting. Similar to a pre-roller coaster dip. Anticipating, hoping that nothing could go wrong. You have the whole situation under control, until the inevitable happens. Uncertainty kicks in and indecisiveness disrupts all harmony. What was once a smooth playing sonata transformed into a barrage of screeches and howls. You tried to make things right (well basically both of them) but in the end things don’t work out. Boy is misunderstood. Girl can’t step away from the shadows of someone (an enlighten knight maybe hehehe peace).
So to finally end things guy tries to step away and stop living a dream. A constant one. It sucks sometimes when people think that you ask something in return. Guy needs a respite from all of this s*^t! Being caught in this situation is something that other guys would readily reject, but for this boy it is something worth trying. It’s better to lose than be futile. It is nicer to fight for something and failing rather than do it with no certain results.
Conclusion. Guy provided space for the girl in order to let things settle down.
Example 2:
Boy just went thru a lot of hullabaloo concerning his love life. Months of frustration over failed dating and finding the correct person. Beforehand he was caged with the thought of falling in-love again with the one who got away. Stormed by vendetta and hate, it slowly consumed him inside and out. One day he decided to face his demons and confront his worst fears. Boy finds “the right girl” falls in-love and in the end he still end up being divided. He finally decided to let go of the one who got away and decided to pursue the latter. Everything was well but in the end it was not. He ends another chapter enlightened. Sometimes it’s worth to just sit down with another individual. Talk things over. But of course it is better when both of you don’t have that what we call excess baggage or other unfinished business. In the end either sila yung epal or ikaw ang umeepal.

Example 3
Guy finally wraps up one of the most complicated equations in his life. Boy relaxes gets back at work and tried to sort one out again. This time it’s really complicated (well maganda siguro yung hitsura nung equation) coz he doesn’t want to have the kind of equation he had before. He started working on this new equation. Taking his time, doing the right steps, using the correct formula and finally realizes that it pays off. No unfinished business between them or in their bags. No overly romantic dates and less drama. That’s more like it. You ask more questions before doing your move. It’s clearer and gives more progress. You assess every step, every move and every reaction, and if your patient enough, then all of your efforts doesn’t go unheralded. Yes this boy is very happy right now. Thanks for a very good advice form his no.1 antagonist (his tongue is usually as sharp as his name suggest hehehe). Lower to zero expectations make the experience better. Things unfold the natural way. The more we ask and the more we wait then better things would come our way.
Slowly but surely this boy is very glad how things are working out, the last 3 days were fast and great. The boy made sure that everything was clear and that he or she was not just looking for another escape route. Coffee and a pack of Marlboro Ultra Lights Bridge a lot of gap, and the skyline over at the Viewing Deck of the Starbucks Shangri-La branch gave the experience a wonderful effect. And who says that happiness escapes those who seek it. This time I am playing my cards carefully. No more all-ins and bluffs ,just the facts. Win or Lose at least then game is fair and no one’s hiding any cards. I wont say “eto na” or ok na. Keep on doing the right things and malay mo….
Conclusion: Guy is Falling in love, for real...walang sabit

Wag Mong Isipin Yon Chords by Siakol, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com
H'wag mong isipin yon
Hindi ka no'n mahal Tulay:
Alam mo nang niloloko ka n'ya
Pero nagbubulag-bulagan ka
Hindi mo ba napapansin
Nakekengkoy ka na
(same chords on 1st stanza mga bosing)
H'wag manghinayang don may mas babagay paIgala-gala mo lang ang mga mata
Tulay 2:(same chords on tulay 1 mga bosing)
At kung sa pag-ihip nitong hangin
Dama mo na ikaw ay napuwing
Probema mo't suliranin Aking aalisin
Koro:
Tumingin ka sa iba at iyong makikita
Yung di ka iiwan di na mag-iisa
Tumingin ka kung saan
Kikislap ang 'yong mga mata
At gugulong ka sa katatawa
Ha!ha!ha! masaya
'Di ka na mangangamba
Hindi ka na magmumukhang tanga
At kung manhid ka kasi mahal mo pa s'ya
Naku umayos ka marami pang iba
Repeat Intro, Chorus
Marami pang iba......3x
