Types / by Ida Anduyan

“Gusto ko ng chinita.”“Gusto ko tall, dark and handsome.” “Gusto ko yung messy long hair, ayoko ng semi kalbo.” “Gusto ko yung ganito pumorma.”

We all have types. Physical preferences on what our ideal boy or girl would look like. Sometimes, these preferences get too specific or even too ridiculous and impossible. If there’s one thing I learned about love (or feelings a little bit less than love), it’s that sometimes, looks don’t always matter. Sure, good looks give you that kilig feeling, that roll-on your-bed-im-about-to-burst-cause-he’s/she’s-so-cute feeling but at the end of the day, at the end of two months or so, good looks won’t be the reason why you’ve been crushing, loving, or holding on to that person for so long. You stayed for that long because of another thing — Personality. So before you rant about all the physical things you want in a guy or girl, don’t be so sure of yourself ‘cause I’m pretty certain that someone’s going to come up to you, he or she won’t qualify for all the physical attributes on your preferences list, but in the end, you’ll want him or her all the same. Besides… sometimes, we don’t really know what we want until we’ve seen it, do we?
