**I got this forward from a friend. It's quite a good analogy, really. The article after this one was sort of an explanation or an effort to make light of things. I must say, it opened my thinking a bit. Enjoy!!!!

SINGLES RULE!
You know, love is just like someone waiting for a bus.
When the bus comes, you looked at it and you said to yourself,
"eeeew...so full....cannot sit down. I'll wait for the next one." So you let the bus go and waited for the second bus.
Then the second bus came, you looked at it you said, "eeeew... this bus is so old...so shabby!" So you let the bus go and, again, decided to wait for the next bus.
After a while another bus came, it's not crowded nor old but you said, "eeeew...not air-conditioned...better wait for the next one." So again, you let the bus go and decided to wait for the
next bus.
Then the sky started to get dark as it is getting late. You panicked and jumped immediately inside the next bus. It is not
until much later that you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus! So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you want!
Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can't ensure that the
air-conditioned bus won't break down or whether or not the airconditioner will be too cold for you.
So people...wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you find that the "bus" doesn't suit you just press the red button and get off the bus(as simple as that!)!
Hey who said life is fair??? The best thing to do is be observant and open while you scrutinize the bus. If it doesn't
suit you, get off. But you must always have an extra something which you could use for the next bus that comes.
But wait........ I'm sure you've had this experience before:
You saw a bus coming (the bus you want, of course!) you flagged it but the driver acted as if he did not see you and zoomed past you!
It just wasn't meant for you!
The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting for a bus you
want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it a
chance depends totally on you.
If you haven't made any choice, WALK! Walking is like being out of love. The good side of it is you can still choose any bus you want...the rest who couldn't afford another ride would just have to be content with the bus they rode on, ugly or not.
One more thing.... sometimes it better to choose a bus you are already familiar with rather than gamble with a bus that is unfamiliar to you.
But then again, life wouldn't be complete without the risks involved.
BUT THERE'S ONE BUS THAT I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT --- THE BUS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR.......IT WILL JUST STOP ON ITS OWN AND WILL ASK YOU TO COME INSIDE AND TAKE A FREE RIDE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE...

****Okay now kids, here is the explanation.
Okey rin yung analogy na yun ano? Almost as good as the subscription one.
Eto yung take ko sa analogy (addendum kumbaga!):
Hay naku, basta ako ang pakiramdam ko, para bang pinagwewelgahan ako ng mga bus!
Kaya, heto, lakad na lang ako ng lakad. Sumasakit na nga ang mga binti't mga paa ko, eh. Pudpod na ang bakya ko. Kaya paminsan-minsan, humihinto ako sa bus stop at sumisipat-sipat kung mayroong dumarating na bus. Meron naman, eh. Kaya nga lang, kadalasan, may pasahero na yung bus na gusto ko. Eh, alangan namang pilitin kong pababain nung drayber yung pasahero para makasakay ako! Ayoko ng ganoon. Tsaka ayoko ring sumabit sa bus kung puno na! Paano kung malaglag ako? Eh di napilayan pa ako't hindi na pumwedeng maglakad man lang.
Minsan naman, malayo pa lang, nagkakatinginan na kami nung drayber ng bus. Kaso nga lang, malabo ang mga mata ko, eh. Hindi ko tuloy makitang mabuti yung numero ng bus kaya hindi ko matiyak kung yun nga ang sasakyan ko. Yun namang drayber, hindi rin makasiguro kung papara. Ang nangyayari tuloy, nagbabagal yung drayber 'pag parating na sa bus stop. Kaya nga lang, dahil nag-aalanganin ako't hindi ako kumakaway para huminto s'ya, umaarangkada na lang s'ya at nalalampasan ako ng bus. Sayang!
Kaya, heto, patuloy akong naglalakad. Ang pag-asa ko marahil ay makatagpo ng katulad kong naglalakad din. Kasi kung pareho kaming naglalakad, alam na namin kung paano ang pakiramdam ng naiiwan ng bus. Alam na rin namin na mahirap yung sakay ng sakay at mahirap din yung hindi sumasakay. Alam na namin kung paano ang tumindig sa bus stop at tumanaw sa wala; humanap sa isang bagay na hindi ka naman makasigurong darating. Ang hiling ko lang: sana may dala s'yang payong para kung umulan man o uminit ay magkasukob kami. O, kung wala man s'yang dalang payong, okey lang. Pwede naman kaming tumigil sa paglalakad at sumilong sa kung saang restoran. Nakakagutom kasi ang maglakad...
Di ba?
