Two star-crossed lovers...

My last Psychiatry class today was quite interesting. My funneeee professor with the so-fake-it's-so-true British accent was trying to hook together two ex-lovers, na itatago ko nalang sa pangalang Poy and Jaolo. Maybe he was thinking that, compounded with his excellent wit and countless uber-romantic Shakespeare material memorized by heart, he was doing them a favor. Au contraire to the couple's turbulent history. I've always found the concept of soulmates utterly absurd but with the way endless gossip and heckling these two are practically swimming in (backstrokes and everything), I think I can make do with the belief that 2 people can be stuck together forever with an imaginary stainless steel umbilical cord whether they like it or not. Like Atlas with the world on his shoulders. Or the derma patient in the wards with untreatable icthyosis.

Hooomaaaygaaad!!! They're playing a slow version of Growing up by Gary Valenciano! Oh no, mixed emotions of pleasure and distaste...
