Another You-And-Me-Against-The-World Story

4 Jun

Now, I find it so immature. When I almost forgot that I am a few years older. That these things are not the things that I should be dealing with at the moment. I had a talk to my mother and got the chance to tell her the story. She was surprised. (Just because she thought that this girl is really of high standard.) And then my stories proven her wrong. And now she did the talking and I’m kinda shocked to hear this.

A few months ago the mother of this girl talked to her. Well, it’s not really unusual because they are really friends ever since. Maybe not best friends, but not strangers either. So she (the girl’s mom) approached my mother and told her the dilemma. She is alarmed by her daughter’s relationship with this man who happened to be my ex. So to make the long story short, she hates the guy. I’m hurt to know this because the ex is really nice. He doesn’t deserve to be hated like this, at least. My mother was also shocked to hear this. First, she never thought that the two have something special in between. (But she told me that she has been seeing the couple together.)  And second, she’s also surprised by how this mother commented on her daughter’s relationship. At this point, I felt pity. I don’t know to whom. To the ex whose been very nice and loving? To the daughter whose relationship is not being accepted by her family? Or to the mother who wants nothing but a clear view of her daughter’s future? And then I realized how people define love in many different ways.

It’s just so sad to hear stories like this. I understand that our parents only want us to be successful in the future. But to the point that you talk to someone just to raise the story, it’s a different agenda. I don’t understand why she picked my mother to tell all of these. Maybe she knows that I am the ex and she wants some information how our relationship ended. Or she wants a piece of advice from another mother who experienced the same. Well, she was all wrong. Because my mother liked him, a way different on how she sees this man now.

I am not really after their love story. I know him very well. He’ll do good. But whenever I think of the incident, and the words. The words. They are just so painful.

******************************

To you. I am being honest now. After the things you have told about me, it’s still me whose writing an entry like this. So pathetic. But this marks the end. I am sorry if I have caused pain in you, but I realized that you have a lot of important things to attend. Don’t make time for me. I am just nothing. And to another You. You are doing it again. Saying bad things about me to make you feel great. You hurt me when you called me chaka not because of the word, but because it came from a person I least expected to say it. I wonder if it really came from you or your girlfriend made up the story (which is very likely to happen). Goodluck to both of you. May you have a happy journey in life.

Insecure people will never admit that they are insecure.

The next time you see me, make sure you don’t look so funny. Don’t walk ahead for me to notice you, because what I see is you keep on looking back at me with insecurity.

Two things. It is either you step out of my way and live your happy & peaceful life or you deal with me and die of insecurity.

You choose.

See you, Merlion

It’s almost two in the morning and I just can’t wait for tomorrow to post this entry. So what’s the good news that keeps me awake up to this time of the night? Well, pupunta lang naman ako ng Singapore.

Yeah. Andi and I was able to book a flight to Singapore on July! Fvcking excited. Well, this is my first time. So the excitement is really a reasonable feeling right now.

So, what to do? I need a perfect itinerary for our vacation. Good thing, I have a lakwatsera friend to guide me through. I just can’t wait.

That’s all! I can sleep now with a big smile.

Unending Chase for Happiness Begins

My student license :)

Finally. I’ve done it–the first move. I skipped one day in the office to work on this one. (I’m supposed to come to work at noon, but the circumstances didn’t allow me to).

For those who wish to apply for a student license, be at the LTO office at exactly 8am (or earlier if possible). Bring with you at least one valid ID (original and photocopy), and your birth certificate (original). Your original copy will be used for evaluation purposes only and will not be submitted to LTO. If it  happens that you forgot to bring the original copy of your ID and birth certificate, then better prepare all your IDs to prove your identity (plus charm, hihi). Well, it will always depend on the evaluator. Fee is Php 317.63 (but they will not give you a change of 37cents). If you come early, it might only take you 45 mins to 1 hour processing. Well, in my case I arrived at 9am and it took me two and a half hours.

So, what I am going to do next is to persuade my brother to teach me how to dougie, I mean, to drive. He already said yes last time, as long as I have a student license at hand. Now that I already have one, I’ll schedule a weekend lessons with my brother. Sounds exciting, yes?

I just can’t hide my excitement. Posted this update on my Facebook, Twitter and here at WordPress.

Chasing happiness continues.

Random Talking Makes A Lot of Sense

2 May

I know talking to you is really not a good idea. But it somehow made me happy. Knowing that you are okay and happy, I am satisfied. As much as I want to make a little talking with you more often, I don’t think it will work well for both of us. Expect me to check on you again at some random time. Don’t be surprised. I hope you will be able to see this. As I want you to know that I still care. Cheers!

Hyundai Run 2012

30 Apr

This is my first run for the year. And this is our first run together. Andrew used to accompany me on my fun runs, but this time, he is running with me. We are supposed to go with my sister and her workmates. However, she didn’t feel really well for a run, so I ended up going with the boyfriend alone.

 

This is Andrew’s first run, so I wasn’t surprised to see him with all the energy. I enjoyed the run because of him. Without him running, it must be so boring. There are so many many many people who participated. It’s a positive thing. However, we find it hard to run continuously. The people walking in the  middle are losing our momentum. We have to slow down from time to time, or worst stop to avoid bumping with the other runners (or walkers).

I got to see Eden, too, my grade school classmate.

With gradeschool classmate, Christine Eden.

It’s a fun day, and a wonderful way of living a healthy life. I’m looking forward to another fun run, or at least continue my Sunday morning jog with my cousin.

We’re Turning Green

28 Apr

I went to Alabang Town Center today to meet with Tiff and Joni. It’s been a long time since my last visit there, so I was surprised to see the renovations and new stalls. Yay! Since it’s deadly hot on my way to the meeting place, I stopped by 7-eleven to buy replenishments. Upon reaching the counter, I was surprised by the cashier packing the girl’s ice cream in a paper bag. Ice cream in a paper bag?!? You must be kidding me. I ignored the incident and went straight inside.

Joni and Tiff were late, so I decided to puff one stick at the town plaza. The janitor told me that the area is non-smoking. That’s another surprise. No smoking in an open area. I puffed one more time and threw the cigarette butt inside the trash can.

I went back inside and entered the bookstore. I bought a card holder (and it’s red by the way–beginning to love red). And bangggg!!! The cashier slipped my item in a paper bag!

Everything in a paper bag! Wherever I look, I see persons holding a Jollibee paper bag, Krispy Kreme, everything! ATC is truly complying with the anti-plastic policy of the city. And I really love the idea. I know I am not the first person to say this. Joni mentioned that other malls have been in practice of the same. And it’s just so awesome. We’re turning green!

I hope every city can do this. It’s just so helpful for our environment. Imagine if everyone will take part. It’s gonna be a big change.

My take-home paper bag!
