MakatiGirlOfMyDreams?

Yesterday I came across this site: nygirlofmydreams

I was like, "aaawww... that is so sweet and romantic."
It would be a great Meg Ryan or Drew Barrymore movie or something.

That SAME day as I was home bound, I decided not to take a cab (since it was still early, around 8-ish). I also decided to walk a different (seemingly quicker) route than what I usually take, walking as fast as i could because the drizzling rain threatens to pour out any minute.

As I cut through a certain parking lot, a guy approached me and introduced himself to me. We talked awkwardly for a few seconds (take note, my steps are not getting slower) and as we walked past a coffee shop, he asked if I would
like to have coffee with him. I quickly came up with a VALID excuse and walked
away as fast as I could.

Man you should've seen my face-- my expression was like a mixture of disbelief, amusement, fear and irritation hahaha. My first thoughts were like, "This guy is crazy or a maniac or whatever-evil-minded-term-goes-here."

Guys NEVER do that in Metro Manila with
total strangers puhlease!!!! It is so NOT cute!

Paglimot at Pag-alala

Noong isang linggo naisipan ko nang itapon ang isang kahon ng mga materyal na alaala ng nakaraan-- mga sulat, regalo, tuyong rosas, diary, maging ilan sa mga larawan.

Sa totoo lang, nagdalawang isip ako-- nangamba na sa oras na itapon ko ang lahat ng ito ay tila itinapon ko narin ang lahat ng pinagsamahan namin.Hindi ba ganoon ang ipinahihiwatig noon?

Pero napaisip din ako. Sa mga panahon na kinikimkim ko ang isang kahon ng mga alaalang ito ay nananatili akong bilanggo ng nakaraan-- kung sino ako noon at kung sino sila noon. Ang kahon na iyon ay nanatili sa nakaraan at di nagbigay daan sa kasalukuyan.

Napaka ironic noh? The more I hold on to the memories and try to remember, the less I give the friendship a chance since I can't accept the fact that we are not the same people we used to be. Until we become mere strangers who once knew each other.

Akala ng lahat ay talagang nakalimot lang ako ng ganun ganun. May nag akala na di ko lang talaga pinahalagahan ang mga alaala. Sa totoo pala ay ako ang pinaka hirap makatanggap ng pagbabago; mag move-on. Kaya minabuti ko nalamang na lumayo at mag kibit balikat. Magsimula ng ibang buhay.

Pero mahirap palang mabuhay ng ganito. Gusto ko nang maging malaya. Malayang magmahal; malayang tumanggap.
