From Our Readers: The Definitive Guide to Moving On (From Heartbreak)

Weep, sleep, and cry some more,
before courage taps on your
window pane like birds do
in the early mornings,
to wake you gently from the
nightmare of it all when it knows
it is time to.

Then pick yourself up and feel
your whole body help you do so
as you face the mirror without
the moist of it blinding.
Embrace yourself and say
with a trembling voice,
that this is your world and it is
all yours for now.
The spaces will be filled with you
that no cracks exist to even
let him enter.

5 Things You Missed Today (December 11)

Oh no, our dear Ed Sheeran just revealed recently that he's undergoing an operation in January during an interview. "I have to have an operation in January on my ear because I stupidly jumped off a yacht really high up and smashed it," he said. "I landed wrong and it burst my eardrum so I have to go and get a graft, which means I'm not allowed to fly for a while, so it's kind of good, it means I have to stay at home." ICYDK, the singer-songwriter will be taking a break next year as well after he's finished with his world tour. Hope everything goes well, Ed! (via Billboard.com)

Style Files: Merzl Ramos

Name: Merzl San Miguel Ramos
Age: 17
City: Naga City
School: Ateneo de Naga University

My style. I always dress classy and sometimes it depends on my mood, and of course the weather. I love to mix and match things to have new look every day. My style describes who I am as a person.
Shopping faves. My favorite clothing lines are Topshop, ForMe, Oxygen, and F&H. I also love visiting bazaars because of trendy outfits that are very affordable.
Style icons. Kylie Jenner, Audrey Hepburn, Vern and Verniece Enciso, Camille Co, Rhea Bue, Miranda Kerr, and Kryz Uy.
Style influence. Mostly from being exposed to my favorite style icons which is my source of daily inspiration for my outfits.
Closet colors. My wardrobe basically consists of white, cream, black, and brown. I love nude pieces!
Fave accessory. My watch! I always wear it wherever I go. It never goes out of style.
Never wearing. I will never ever wear puff sleeves because I don't think it suits me.
Trendy return. Trends from '70s, like the tailored blazers, chunky heels, and jumpsuits.
Best bargain. I have this pair of Old Navy ripped shorts that I got for only P80. So happy that time because I was able to find one.
Vintage love. I have this necklace which was given to me by my mother around 11 years ago. I always wear it whenever I use tops that are sleeveless.

12 Things People Should Stop Saying About Pretty Girls

1. Why is a pretty girl like her still single? As if it's implied that if a girl's pretty, she has a boyfriend. Isn't being in a relationship her choice?

2. She must be crazy that's why she's still single. But not crazy enough to fall for all those jerks! Thank god.

3. She can't be kind, pretty, and smart. Why not? Those people who say that might just be speaking for themselves. LOL.

4. Good thing she's pretty! People say this when a pretty girl messes something up or isn't very bright. C'mon. She might have more redeeming qualities? Not that being pretty is a bad thing because it's not; it's just not everything.

5. She's hot when she's angry. Thanks but you might be getting a bit distracted? Focus on the words, man. The. Words.

6. She only got into the top school because she's pretty. Pretty qualified, you mean. It's pretty saddening that a number of people still doubt a girl's ability just because she's pretty. What's the connection?!

7. What's the fuss? It's not like she made herself look pretty. Not entirely true. Pretty girls most likely take good care of their skin to look their best, and that means they have a beauty regimen they uphold on a daily basis no matter how lazy or tired they are to do so. And some pretty girls make themselves extra pretty by putting on makeup—to look like that really pretty girl who has no need for makeup.

8. Did she get surgery? There's nothing wrong with getting something done on your face—let's be clear. But you can't just go around asking that! You'll just make people self-conscious or uncomfortable. (Yes, some people went through surgery to get rid of something they don't like; why would you want to remind them what it was?)

9. Does she spend a lot of time practicing her smile and knowing her angle in front of the mirror? A lot of pretty girls are way past that stage now, so their answer is no. (You might hear more yeses if you had asked "Did," BTW.)

10. She should always be smiling so she's much, much prettier. Tell this to people who need it. HAHA. Seriously though, pretty girls have their reasons to frown and pout. It's also possible that they have a resting bitch face, and not everyone can make the great, great effort to keep a wide smile.

12. Too bad she's a lesbian. Whattt?

From Our Readers: To the Guy I Love But Will Never Be Mine

It happened so fast—me falling inlove with you. You were dancing that day and I was passing by the lobby of our school building while you were doing some complicated routines with your group. I was impressed because you've got the moves of a dancer.

From that moment, I knew you were different from any other crushes I had before because why the hell couldn't I stop thinking about you? Especially, when I entered your class and you asked for my name. We became friends. We started to exchange smiles every time we see each other. I was beyond happy that I couldn't stop thinking about you and it was driving me insane! Before I'd go to sleep and when I'd wake up, even in my dreams, you were there, invading my system, slowly breaking the walls I built for many years. And before I could stop myself, I lost it. I fell in love with you—hard and deep.
