Not Once

I’m actually proud of myself.

I haven’t looked at your Facebook profile since you left. Not once.

True story.

So You

Wed, 22 May 2013 16:18:27 -0400

I keep having dreams where we reconnect. Your smiles seem so genuine and things almost seem like the way they used to be. But then you leave suddenly without even saying goodbye, and I’m heartbroken again. It all seems so real. It just seems so…you.

That perfect smile…and the non-existent goodbye.

Original post from Facebook but I took it down.

8) I don’t care about jet lags. Seriously. Those are for the weak.

7) You can always go with me or follow me, you know. That’ll be pretty sweet.

6) I can sleep in the cheapest inn available. I fly economy, and are you kidding me? Why would I ask for your money?

5) What is wrong with those trips? But anywhere with you will always be the best. Even a meal in Jollibee can turn into the most romantic date as long as I’m with you.

4) I don’t remember art as much as I remember events. Judge me people.

3) Well, yeah. And it has nothing to do with me and my travels. My dad and brothers (most probably) made me do it.

2) Oh I remember you so well pretty boy.

1) The world is such a beautiful place so why stay in one place? But no matter where I go, I always come back home. Because home is where my heart is ♥

Protocol ?

I wonder if I’m still ‘babe’ in your phone. Since we were never ‘together’ we never really broke up. So what’s the protocol for a not-a-break-up of friend-lovers names in each other’s phones?

Always Missing

I will always remember the time that we spent together on the lake. Talking for hours until the sun came up. I’ll always miss those hours. I’ll always miss you.

I will sleep with your Dallas Cowboys tank top until it doesn’t smell like you anymore.

Instant Relief

Your mother left me a voicemail last night. I immediately felt extremely sad and happy all at the same time. Pacing back and forth I decided to call her back. TWo minutes into the convo she says, ”He still hasn’t looked for work and he gained all this weight from sitting around playing video games.” At that moment I felt a bittersweet instant relief, you are exactly the same.

Sabang Beach, Baler, Aurora

I had one of the worst weeks of my life last week.

I cried (a lot) after work Thursday night with Gelo over the phone just trying to calm me down. Something to do with the happy crush gone bad. Anyway, it was Friday and I wasn’t still in the mood. I had dinner with all of my officemates, trying to drown my sadness with friends around me. It didn’t help much…and so were the chicken from Bon Chon with spicy mayo, the taro milk tea from Bubble Tea and sinigang na baka from the pantry. So I went back to my place to get the charger since I was sure that Gelo will be calling a lot to check on me. He’s a really nice kid. Anyway, I went home and realized that I wanna escape civilization. Jeremy planned a karaoke night but since I can’t stand the sight of so many happy people around me, I just said “FUCK IT,” and called Royce from Barefoot Travels and asked if they can still accommodate me to the Baler trip that will leave Manila in three hours. He said yes.

I went home and had my things ready in ten minutes. My bag was already ready since we were supposed to ride at Taal Lake the weekend before. I just found myself on a van to Baler with Kyle, Nikkos and eight others (that I’ve never met before). And truth be told, I had a hell of a weekend. Nikkos and the boys really know how to help a friend cure a broken heart. You ask how? Johnnie Walker Premiere, Jack Daniels, Smirnoff Vodka, Bacardi White and Emperador Light plus karaoke songs that will make all the hurt linger. I surfed and sang my heart and lungs out.

Sometimes, the universe will do everything to annoy and bring you down. It just depends on how will you look at it. As for me? I looked at it in the eye and said “Fuck you for dragging me to hell. There’s no other way now but up.”

I was hurt but it made me realize how happy I can be. Again.

On happy crushes and happily ever afters (Part 1)

Thu, 16 May 2013 14:42:56 -0400

I’ve always had happy crushes. I even tell my friends to have one. Why? Simply because happy crushes make you happy since you know that you will never hope. He may be the captain ball of your school’s basketball team that you once had class with, or the guy you always ride the elevator with but never talked to. He’s cute and you know that he’s interesting but you’re just damn sure that he will never, ever like you. Thus the one rule to follow with happy crushes - never fall for them.

You can never go wrong with a happy crush. He can make you happy simply by just letting you through the door first or by just clapping with the rest of the class after your nerdy presentation. He can be a friend waaaay out of your league and you’re just happy that he suggests songs for your playlist.

You can never go wrong with a happy crush. Unless you fall for him.

But I fell with mine. And man, I fell pretty hard.

I wasn’t really the expecting kind of girl since I’ve been always one of the boys. The guy should tell me outright that he is courting me before I take things seriously. I don’t buy the “I like you” kind of confession because we all know that “likes” can be of different levels and it will be impossible to find a common ground.

Whatever happened to Cinderella and Prince Charming after the happily ever after part? I wish I knew the answer to that question.

This is a story of a happy crush gone bad, and how it made me question fairy tales and happy endings.
