The concept of being “Marupok” is when an individual can easily fall or can easily feel attached to a person they like or even someone they don’t as long as they made sweet moves that can make someone feel “marupok”. According to Cabezudo (10/13/2018 Sat. night 10:30 pm) you are marupok in the sense na you’re too invested in that person to the extent that you would let him/her see you in your vulnerable state, therefore allowing him/her to know your weakness that may give him/her the power to break you (relevant na source, dahil aminado s’ya na marupok s’ya).
This became trend a month ago. A lot of netizens claimed that they are “marupok”. Mahihinuha rito na marami ang uhaw sa pag-ibig and it is just like a disease that keeps on spreading. I can say that teenagers and millennials are more likely proned with this, na almost lahat ay mga single, marami naman sila at bakit hindi nila maisipang sila-sila na lang. Jk.
Some symptoms of being marupok ay kapag you can’t contain the feelings when your crush did simple things towards you. Yiiiiiieeeee 💕. But the problem is, it doesn’t mean something for them, so you are umaasa lang sa mga bagay na wala namang kahulugan, you’re letting him/her see you in your vulnerable state, therefore allowing him/her to know your weakness that may give him/her the power to break you (Cabezudo, 2018). Being marupok is very similar to being “tanga”-you can’t choose whether to follow your brain or your heart?
You already know that nervous system is divided into 2 parts. The Central Nervous system – consisting of brain and the spinal cord at ang Peripheral nervous system consisting of sensory neurons(afferent) and motor neurons(efferent). Under motor neurons is the somatic nervous system including voluntary actions like when you walk or speak. and the autonomic nervous system kung saan nabibilang ang mga involuntary actions gaya nang pagbeat ng heart ayiiie 💕. Therefore, hindi maiiwasan ang mafall/ma-attach dahil kusa itong nagbi-beat and both are working under the same system (tho iba pa ang circulatory system) kaya’t para saakin you don’t have to choose between two, why bother when YOU CAN USE BOTH. It may be hard for some but it is still your choice.
But!! being marupok or in english, FRAGILE! ay nangangahulugang madaling mabasag, masira, bumigay o mabali kaya’t nangangailangan ng CARE! To prevent being marupok or fragile let me leave an advice.
Kailan nga ba ang tamang panahon to LOVE? I remembered maybe 3-5 years ago, basta matagal na, it was sunday, nagsimba kami ng family ko. ‘Di talaga ako nakikinig but the priest caught my attention nang sabihin n’yang (nvtm) the perfect time to love is when you have the ability to fill love towards another heart at ang perfect relationship is when both of you ay nagpapalitan ng pagmamahal. Ayon naman sa kaibigan kong si K,
“kapag sobra na ‘ko sa pagmamahal, makapagbibigay na ako” – K. Borjal, 2018
There may be no perfect time but there should be an OVERFLOWING LOVE inside your Heart. Imagine that you are looking for someone to love you with your heart having 74.85% of love, how would you fill his/her heart kung hindi 100% ang love na meron ka? And worst, what if both of you ay walang nag-uumapaw na PAG-IBIG?
