Princess Diaries

Princess Diaries

Fairy Tales- A fairy tale is a story, either told to children or as if told to children, concerning the adventures of mythical characters.These stories often involve princes and princesses and normally have a happy ending.

Finally, after so much ado, you now find out that this is all what those bulletin board posts are good for. I am the same trash using a different backdrop. The new blog design is courtesy of my favorite blog motherf**ker Aika who is now a Palanca princess. And you are definitely right!! Boasting of Aika’s achievement is definitely not what I am going to write about. I know you’re happy with that.

***Fairy Tales***

When we were younger, we were not spared from all these fairy tales. We read the books; our parents told us the stories before we sleep; we watched the movies. All these made us believe that magic is not far from reality. We believed in fairy godmothers. We loved the princesses and the princes. We loathed all the villains- from Snow White’s wicked stepmother, Cinderella’s cruel stepmother and her ugly sisters to Anastasia’s Rasputin. And who could forget about that tentacled- sea creature Ursula? We all wondered when is once upon a time. We all thought that happy endings are true.

Until we become witnesses to the harsh realities of life- the pandemonium in the streets and the Congress (can you honestly tell the difference between the two?), the prevalent poverty especially in Third World countries, musicians who don’t know how to act but are in the movies, hot babes and delicious men who have bigger breast/ biceps compared to their brains, terrorist attacks, assault to the environment, assault by the environment, rising oil prices. We open our televisions and cringe to see good things in vain. Well at least we are left with the Disney Channel.

***Fairy Tales..not!!***

Until we become victims of that thing called love.

We were made to believe that someday we are going to end up with that handsome prince or that beautiful princess (depends upon one’s preference, there are princes who want princes; there are princesses who fancy princesses more) who will complete us and put the exclamation point in the expression happily ever after.

We enter in relationships hoping that we will be able to find that person who will sweep us off our feet. We turn into cheesebags the moment we realize we now can’t stop thinking about them. We stay in one corner of the classroom with that smile fixed on our faces thinking of the last time we were with our beloved. We do things stupid and crazy just to please those people and show them how much we love them.

Until we are exposed to words such as cheating and unrequited love. Sucker? You bet.

Lately, I just found out that my last ex cheated on me. Before that, I was guilty because I was the one who broke up with him for the reason that I was no longer happy. Until that day I visited his friendster page and found out that he was already seeing someone else when we were still together!! Realizing that was not painful. It was humiliating and incredible. How could a guy his BREED be able or be the one to cheat on me?

***Of Frogs and Princes***
Judging a book by its cover is wrong. This is exemplified in a fairy tale. Once upon a time, a princess saw a frog. He gave the amphibian a kiss and poof!! The frog became a prince. Well I am not sure if the prince lost the stench of a frog.

Sometimes, we desire someone who meets our standards. Someone who is handsome, rich, intelligent, delicious, funny, talented, sweet, a real gentleman, thoughtful and many others. We are lucky if we are able to find someone who at least meets some of those qualificaitions. And because we thought that we have found our real Prince Charming, we give him our all even if it is obvious that we are the only ones who are head-over-heels and the feeling is not reciprocated. Never mind if our friends think we are crazy. We do those things for the pleasure of loving. For the sake of humanity. For the sake of one human being who in our eyes is a god. Or so we thought! Our Prince Charming has just turned into a frog.

And then for the sake of trying, or because we have developed a phobia and became followers of Andre E.’s famous song humanap ka ng pangit, we look for frogs whom we hope we can turn into princes. You’d be fortunate if you become successful at the makeover. But me? I was ill-fated with my last ex. He was a frog. And he remains to be one!! Kerchog!!

Before I thought that I found my prince in Snicker’s person. He passed my prince test with flying colors. I am just not sure if I am his princess.
