one cheeseburger with regular fries please
I noticed I have been over-using a particular word these days.

I've been saying SORRY a lot these days. >.<

And when I thought about it, I couldn't tell if that was good or bad. Bad ba siya dahil ibig sabihin ng more apologies ay more mistakes committed? Or good ba siya dahil I get to notice my mistakes and hopefully learn from them?

The thing is, I think the word loses it's meaning if it's used too often. Well, when you say it to the same person, he sort of "gets used" to hearing it and so he wouldn't probably think it's sincere anymore. Or if you say it to many different people, YOU sort of "get used" to saying it, so maybe, you lose it's meaning. And maybe, when you find yourself saying it, it's not truthful or sincere anymore.

Does it feel good to say sorry?

Honestly, I don't know. I can't even tell if there's a difference when you say it once or when you say it often. But it sure feels good when the person you apologize to accepts it and things go back to normal. Or you know, somewhere near normal. Baka hindi rin naman ganun yung case for all. Maybe some say it without really meaning it. So, to them, maybe saying sorry is like saying "one cheeseburger with regular fries please" to the lady behind the counter. It becomes ordinary.

So ano ngayon Maisie? What's bothering me is if I should stop saying sorry muna. Or weird ba yun? Hiatus??? O_O And what if I just really absolutely genuinely have to be sorry for something? Nagkataon lang na madami siya.

Well, naisip ko. What I should try to stop is doing things that will make me say sorry. This is a bit complicated because you do different things that make you apologize to different people. And sometimes, whatever it is that you do, it's really just a by-product of inevitable events. Sooooo... you still end up saying sorry.

But really, I think I must try avoiding doing stuff that will make me say sorry. I don't want my "I'm sorry"s to lose their meaning.

But then again, that's just me.
