20 Things

Thank you, Gabe, for your list... now it's time for me to make my own.

The rules are simple: List (20) things you want to say to 20 people but know you never will. Don't say who they are.

1.  Mark my words, one day you'll be found out, and people will see who and what you really are.

2.  What's happening to you isn't karma... God isn't punishing you for your past.

3.  Get over it and quickly... so what if he said that about you?  I know you to be better than that, and better than him.

4.  Your life now is just reward for standing up to everyone who wanted to keep you down.  You are truly blessed, and I am too for having you in my life.

5.  The world does not revolve around you.  I love you, but for the love of God, grow up.

6.  Yes, what happened was indeed your fault.  Stop pointing fingers, it won't land you your next job.

7.  I don't care what anyone else says about you... if it has nothing to do with you and me, then it's all irrelevant.

8.  You are a brave one... truly, truly a brave one.

9.  Is there sadness behind that gregarious exterior?  I've never seen you upset, ever.

10.  I'll smile around you, but I'll never ever trust you.  After what you've done to me, can you blame me?

11.  What you did was unforgivable, but I love you anyway.

12.  I wish I got to know you better, beyond what I found annoying.

13.  God was wise for placing you in my path, at a time when I needed someone like you the most.

14.  You're the biggest asshole that ever walked the earth.

15.  Your strength amazes me... and will inspire me forever.

16.  It might be time to step down... they are ready.

17.  Don't worry... the right one will come, and you will know when it does.

18.  Put yourself out there... you're better than you think.

19.  For what I did to you, I shall always be sorry.  I know you've forgiven me, but I don't know that I've completely forgiven me.

20.  I'm really happy for you.  I hope you're happy too.

... Iggy Javellana ... said...

LOL. Brilliant!

I'm sure a lot of people feel the same about tons of other people but can't rightly say so.

Rika Mimula said...

great lea, I love this but something i can't understand

Gabe Mercado said...

Isn't it such a great exercise?

It's victimless bitching.

Or at least anonymous bitching.

And it's a great way to keep tabs of how you really really feel about some people.

Bravo.

Rony Fortich said...

I like your number 12...

Must make my own list... *smile*

Jay Marquez said...

gosh, scary, they might start guessing. ;-)

Mark Macas said...

huwaaah! this is truly fascinating... it's like reading other people's thoughts

Lea Salonga said...

Oh goodness, please don't start guessing. Only I will know which corresponds to whom.

annie g said...

Love this! I think it is a great idea, I will have to give it a try.

Number 14 is great and I want to say those EXACT same words in number 1 to someone!

Ayrin Greyz said...

what a great idea! i'll definitely try this one!

Christian Writer said...

No. 16...is that meant for, um, GMA?

bing ♥ said...

I would have said these words to you when I saw you last April 10th, 2007 but I dared not to because of my "shyness"....."Aside from your top-notch performance as Fantine, your unparalleled graciousness to your fans after the show will be forever stored in my heart. "

Thank you.

Soleil NYC said...

The guessing is the best part!

Chino Hernandez said...

Nakakatakot and nakakaloka po ito! :-)

I will make my own list as well! :-)

arlin dizon said...

manang said don't start guessing!

XXXX YYYY said...

Marnie, Lea deserves respect. She already begged for people not to guess. It's unfair to Lea, people would generate their own conclusions, mostly wrong ones. Certainly, some of you deserve this.... "You're the biggest asshole that ever walked the earth"!

prln dzn said...

sino yung sa # 19?

nagtanong? hahaha!!

Erleen Fernandez said...

hi Lea,

Love this! It somehow releases some of your innermost thougths that can be 'therapeutic', not damaging ,yet wonderfully expressed.....you are a genius! Keep smiling....

dianneLouise ♥ said...

Very nice way to speak out what you're feeling
or to say what you wanna say without any doubts
of having an enemy after (^^,)

raul montesa said...

hey manang...ang daming tinamaan sa number 1, this list is a great release...good one manang...how are you??? how's nic??? ingat!!!

Melanie Dujunco said...

Tama.. #1 and #14.. daming pwedeng pagsabihan nyan.. at madaming tatamaan.. ha ha ha

Soleil NYC said...

Lol, nitpicker, you're funny! How apropos!

Jane Grey said...

I think I'll do this too. It will be cathartic..

Kristine Mae Palattao-Tavkhidova said...

how ingenious! i think i shall have it as an activity for my staff...

i would not recommend guessing which number applies to who (if it is negative)... sayang lang ang oras sa kakaisip... however, if it is positive, then i dont think it will hurt if you will claim it as if it was for you, di ba?

Marvin Querido said...

thanks for this. i did make my own list at my site.

Jojo Terencio said...

i have one person in mind... kapalmuks lang talaga...

Keith Madridejos said...

sila sila lang ang nagkakaintindihan.......excuse us...hehehe

TJ De Luna said...

#22, it's not alterior. it should be ulterior.

Marvin Querido said...

wow. i actually enjoyed doing my own list. i didn't think i'd have so much fun. this exercise would probably be the equivalent of several visits to the psychiatrist. thanks again for this.

JANE AREJOLA said...

nakakaloka na ito!!! but thanks for sharing...

Marvin Querido said...

Making my own list has got to be one of the best things I did for myself in such a long time. I can't thank you enough. Special thanks to Gabe too, for giving you the idea...

jewey torrefranca said...

i wish i knew that many people to bitch on... hehe. but i wanna make my own list. maybe someday... :)

mildred fermin said...

hi ms lea! i'm doing this in the days to come. it might even reach more than 20, haha!

rousel elaine said...

-very nice-

gail T. said...

#25. i wish i had your life.

i wonder what kind of life that is because this line came from ms. lea.

i realized when i made my own list that there are plenty more where those came from. there's so many things i am leaving unsaid. thanks for the idea.

Li'l Dove Feather said...

I wouldn't even know who or if I'm right in my guesses, even if I tried.

JuFi B. L. said...

hi Lea..love this...mind if i'll do my own version? thanx :)

charo valmores said...

wow! i wish i could say this to all the people who always look down on me..

claire trobanos said...
