When I was in college, I joined a fraternity/sorority.
During one of the indoctrination, I was asked a question that remained instilled in me until today and maybe even beyond my days until I find my own version of Maginoo pero medyo bastos.
One of the lords asked, What would you choose, a boyfriend who is Maginoo or a boyfriend who is Maginoo Pero Medyo Bastos? He sent me to thinking, deep. I was in dilemma, of course I was idealist during that time and I want someone who is more like a price charming who could sweep me off my feet, too gentle to hurt my feelings and giggly handsome beyond my grasp. So, I want a Maginoo based on my own description and imagination of what a Maginoo is. But what would a Maginoo pero Medyo Bastos boyfriend has and can offer that left me pondering even after I survived, graduated from college and even after break-ups?
I was told, indoctrinated even, that Maginoo pero medyo bastos is the best boyfriend a girl could ever have. Why? Because they can keep the fire burning through their wit, funny side, naughty even, seriousness, their ability to be cool under pressure and the guy you could flaunt around and never wanted to be without. But to me, it speaks like the ideal boyfriend package that women would want to have but not easy to get.
However, As years passed and grown I have become, I learned a lot through relationships that went to the drain. In everything that I ended, I was left with a piece of them that somehow completed me. They have given me bad memories and good memories that I can reminisce and giggle with the thought. But it is not the feeling that stays, it’s the lesson.
But I have overgrown the desire of finding a Maginoo pero medyo bastos partner in life. I wanted someone who is loyal, who has a strong relationship with God, someone who can bring me more closer to Him. Someone who has deeper understanding about life and what life offers. Someone who can is level headed and cool even under pressure, a complete family man who values his family and friends and the people around, has a good sense of humor too so he can keep up with me (I am a self confessed humorous, I hope they find me one 🙂 ) being a good looker can be the best bonus!
Though I somehow believe Maginoo pero maedyo bastos is still the best choice, still I want mine to be modified according to what God intends me to have. I just hope that God prepares my heart so I will be able to accept whoever he is when he comes and gave me the wisdom to know who he really is. He maybe just around the corner, someone I’ve met, but failed to recognize his presence because I am busy looking out my own prospect.
My version of Maginoo pero medyo bastos will soon find his way to me, I am sure of that. ❤ ❤ ❤
