My "L" List

There's always something definite about any list. It is a purposeful reminder of things to do, places to go, people to meet, dates to remember, things to buy, etc. Having a list is a very easy memory aid, especially for those who are slooowwly and conveniently losing their capacity to recall certain tasks.
So, here goes some of mine: Like it or leave it? Up to you.
LOSER - Isang walang kwentang gago na walang isang salita (read: a very inconsiderate prick). Yep, the intro above is just a femme ploy to share my recent mis-encounter with one. Taken in for a ride again, what else is new? Guess I'll always be jaded and all I have to show for it is scar tissue. LESSON LEARNED.
LOVE - or the LACK thereof.
LUCK - some are just born with it, others don't seem to have it. Lady Luck always smiles to everyone. Team it up with hard work and fair play.
LOOKING - for one good reason to believe in ever having a real relationship with a guy who will not take me for granted. This is a spinoff of the aforementhioned mis-encounter. In my book, some guys have seemingly mastered the art of deception, dishonesty and deceit. Why are some guys unable to hold on to what they've said? Wala lang, ni hindi man lang mag-sorry sa pag-iwan sa'yo sa ere. (The inconsiderate prick doesn't even have the guts to say sorry for leaving you stranded).
LAUGHTER - is always the best medicine. It's cheap, readily available if freely given, the almost perfect cure for anything. May be enjoyed in solitude or in groups.
LIES - it doesn't matter what shade (white lies, grey lies, black lies, etc) or degree because lies always backfire. Take it from Billy Joel, "Honesty is such a lonely word, everyone is so untrue..."
LIFE - is a heady experience all the time. One of the best gifts ever given to us by the One Up There. Each day's end doesn't matter if a bit of this life failed to make any difference to the bigger world.
LUST - may be vital or not. May depend on one's need, preferences, timing, belief, or values.
LECHON, LIEMPO, LECHE FLAN - in order: roast pig, prime cut of meat, egg custard. Yummy, just eat in moderation.
LASTLY - hope you got it by now, the guy's name starts with the letter L. I won't even spell out his real name, it's the least I can do. I'm not THAT mean anyway, hehe.
