Hanging out at Abi's crib

Last night we hang-out at Abi's apartment. We watched A Love Story...movie of Aga. It was nice and fun of course, with Marianne and Abi around...joking on who's who is our character on the movie. I'll not write on who is Maricel, Aga, Angelica, the nurse and the flower is...i'm here to tackle the lessons I learned from the movie.

Here are the best scene and lines from the movie:

"Hindi lahat ng masaya tama...minsan ang tama nakakasakit rin sa una pero kapag natanggap mo na, magiging masaya rin." - This is soooo true. In making decisions, it would not always depend on our happiness alone...sometimes we should take account of people aound us and if what we're doing is right.

"Ang mga babae parang halaman yan, huwag mong pipitasin kung sisirain mo lang." - It is the same as, never start a relationship when you know you wanted it to end.

"You must be the husband." - The best scene on the movie. All three of them was in the same room because Angelica was hospitalize. The three of us was astonished on how Maricel handled the situation, and later on this phrase became our winning punch line. Try this one:

Marianne on ---: "So you must be the other woman..."

Eda on being late: "You must be my Supervisor, sorry i'm late, Sir!"

Abi to her long lost boyfriend: "So, you must be my boyfriend..."

The movie basically talks about sacrificing your own happiness for the sake of doing what you think is right. For giving people, important to you, your time and love. Treating them right to keep them. And making choices, to correct things that you have done wrong while there is still time. Indeed, nothing is lost when you choose to do what is right.

So, this must be your movie!

I'm keeping up...

It has been a month now after the break up and it has been two weeks after I found out everything. I can say I am keeping up very well...there are times that I can still feel the hurt but being with my family and friends helps me a lot to mend the hurt inside.

What had happened almost crush my whole being, thankfully my values, the love of my family and friends and the things that I believed in made me whole again. I can't really say that I am totally over him, because if I am, I wouldn't be writing this blog. But feelings are aleady inconsequential now to say. I still believe on the cliche, "things happen for a reason." I know God let this happen because when he is still here by my side, I forgot to noticed poeple, people that are more worthy of my love and care. I don't see the small and big blessings God has given me. I know that this will make me a wiser and better person. And what happened made me realize the wonderful friendship I have with my bestfriend and my close friend. This made me appreciate them more.

I read this from gem_061969 blog:

"When break up comes and it's time to say goodbye, don't doubt the love just because it didn't last. There are things in life that doesn’t really last
and it doesn’t mean its not true at all. "

"Some good things are just never meant to last forever. Bless the parting and move on."

"Expect tears, sorrow, sleepless nights and pain.
As they say "it's when you hurt the worst that you love the MOST." If you are not willing to get hurt, then don’t fall in-love"

"Life is a balance. And love is both holding on and letting go. Know when to fight for your man and when to let him go. God will guide you."

"In a relationship...
What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs
most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its his ego."

Until now i'm not really sure if I really loved him. I've been in a lot of relatioship and "love" is a misused and over used word for me. Is it true? Or just a state of mind? How will I know I am in love? Questions that are yet to be answered...my quest for finding the real meaning of love goes on.

I may not be able to bring back what was ended but I can start a new life, without any traces of him. I can bring with me all the lessons learned and things that made me a stronger person. And when the time comes that I can let go of him completely, I know I will be truly happy.

You are forgiven...

I have fogiven you...i'm putting everything behind. It was never your fault if you woke up one day and realized that I am not the girl you like. You should not underestimated my understanding. I know you owe me big time, but then again I am not a perfect person too. I have also hurt other people.

A part of me doesn't want to accept that you were right for letting me go. I know I deserve someone better...and when I say I forgive you...I mean it.

I do things that would make me happy and I will be happy if I forgive you.

To my bestfriend...
I appreciate you told me everything...like i've said a few days ago...a part of me wants to blame you but it is not your fault that you're likeable. Kaya nga kita friend, eh! Hehehe! I am proud that nobody can ruin the friendship that we had. Feeling ko nga it became stronger after this one. Thank you for being there since day one. Lalo na nung nagkasakit ako...thank you for all the times na ipinakita mo sa akin na you care. Basta, thank you and I love you! Kaya dapat huwag ka munang umalis ng TP.

If in any way I have hurt your feelings i'm sorry. I know you're in a dilemma right now, just always remember what i told you..."The only opinion that will matter is your opinion and to those people wo truly cares about you. Maraming nagmamahal sa iyo.

To Jhongke...
Sis, you were there in times that I was really down and in pain. Thank you for pulling me up when I almost reach the ground. Thank you for making me realize my worth, for being my strength and for making me feel that I am loved by many. You made me appreciate blessings that was already given to me that made me appreciate my friends and most especially my family. More than anyone who came in my life, you made a very big difference.

I'm very happy that I could not ask for more but for us to be forever friends. Love yah, Sis!

To Missy and Elaine...
I am happy that whatever emotions i'm in nakikiramdam din kayo. I was never a fighter, I always say this to Jhongke that I am born weak. But whatever things i'm deficient, God gave me wonderful people to fill that in and also to learn from them. Thank you for always backing me up and also for making me smile when I was really down.

No words can best describe how thankful I am for this people.

I am proud of how my family raised me well. Kaya madali sa akin magpatawad dahil yun ang tinuro nila sa akin. Basta, totoo un, napatawad na kita.

An Open Letter

I hope this will be the last time that I will be writing about this relationship. A day after I made the presentation for you I found out something horrible about you...a lot of things actually. A day after I made the presentation for myself I found another thing about you. You are courting my bestfriend. A lot of emotions are within me now; that sometimes I do not know the reason why I am feeling it.

First of all, I am angry. Angry to the point that I look at you with so much disdain. To the point that I want to forget that once in my life I thought there was an "us." I'm angry because I felt I was betrayed. I trusted you so much that I believed everything you said. I don't see you as a perfect person because there's no such, but I see you as a person who would really think a million times before you act. I see you someone with wisdom and integrity.

During the relationship, I already saw the signs that it was faltering. It was not that I was blind, I saw it coming but then again I believed you when you told me that you'll tell me if you don't want this anymore. I understand you when you told me that you're just having problems with your family and work and I tried to be the person that you can rely on.

I am angry because I somehow expected you to respect me as a person. I am angry because you should have ended the relationship when you didn't want it. It would have been easier.

Ginamit mo lang ako at masakit nun nagpagamit rin ako. Remember this words?

"Magconcentrate muna ako sa work and problems ko. Maghiwalay muna tayo."

And after a week, found you courting someone, worse, kaibigan ko pa. Sa totoo lang pinagmukha mo akong tanga. Kaya ba, lumalapit ka na lang kapag kailangan, you don't talk to me anymore and worse nakipagflirt ka pa sa isa pang malapit sa akin. Is it planned? I would have understand kung sinabi mo na lang na nawala na ung feelings. It would have been better and easier. Kasi naniwala pa ako na there was something to hold on.

I won't hinder you if you'll court someone now, I won't even care if you'll get married. Pero huwag mo naman kaming patusin. Huwag kaibigan ko. She has been there since day one. Takbuhan ko siya kapag may problema ako sayo, kaibigan mo ex nya at alam nya lahat ng nangyari sa atin.Hindi kami gamit na palitan lang. And would you really think she would sacrifice our friendship to be with you? I know she's close to you but don't assume things.

Still remember this?

"Kung meron man, kung meron man, ha?! Ayoko ng on the rebound at tsaka kung kaibigan, kaibigan lang talaga."

"Dapat nung training bay pa, kaso on the rebound ka."

So ano pala ako? Pampalipas oras?! Panakip butas?!

Do you still remember what you did to my other friend nung tayo pa? I really do think you owe her an apology. I want to quote this:

"Kaya nga may word na banter, eh."

"Kung tinotoo nya, eh di sasabihin ko na joke lang."

"Minsan nga lang magpakasaya, ganito pa."

Naririnig mo bang sinasabi mo? Anong tingin mo sa aming mga babae?! Laruan?! She is my friend, not just a friend but a very, very close friend. Anong tingin mo sa mga kaibigan ko tanga-tanga?

I never asked for anything, at alam mo yan, sana napagbigyan mo man lang ako ng kahit kaunting respeto, sama mo na mga friends ko. Kaso kahit respeto para sa bakla hindi mo ako binigyan...waaaaaaaaaaaa!

The choice you make, makes you the person you are...and its really a disappointment that you chose to be a self-centered beast. Sayang...you're not half the man I thought you were.

As to the other things I know, hindi ko na sasabihin. Kahit sa iba hindi ko na rin sinabi yun. Dahil bibigyan pa rin kita ng kaunting respeto. At alam kong wala ng reason para malaman mo pa, alam mo na kung anong dapat kong malaman.

I am hurting...hurting because you never liked me. I can never be angry because of this because I know it is beyond your control. Hurting ako dahil sa mga nalalaman ko...naiisip ko lang noon na magkasama tayong tatlo, hindi ko alam may ganyan ka na pala. And masakit isipin na you like someone else tapos tayo...tapos nakakasama pa nating dalawa. Hindi ko alam may plano ka na pala nyan. Hurting to know that your doing things you used to do for me. And worse mas higit pa. You know I was hurt badly when we broke up...kulang pa ba un? Kaya hindi ko talaga inaasahan ito. It was hard to keep up nung wala ka na, mas nahirapan ako nung ginawa mo un sa close friend ko nung tayo pa, mahirap din nung nalaman ko ung tungkol sayo, pero ito na yata ang pinakamahirap, ang ligawan mo bestfriend ko. Ayaw mo na ba akong ipagmove on talaga?! Gusto mo ba lahat ng kaibigan na soooobrang malapit sa akin mawala sa akin? Have I done something wrong to you? For you to repay me with this?!

Someone told me that at least you were man enough to end the relationship. Pero sa totoo lang hindi naman...pinaramdam mo lang sa akin na wala na, na mas masakit kaysa sabihin sa akin. You just gave me signs but too coward to tell me the truth. Pinaramdam mo sa akin ng paunti-unti...You said you wish we would be in good terms? Sana naisip mo yan bago mo ginawa ito.

- Remeber the time na niyaya kita samahan ako manood? Marami kang reasons to the point na kahit ano na lang sinabi mo. Too scared to hurt me? Or just too scared na bad memories ang maiwan mo sa akin? Well look at it now? Bigger damaged? Right?

- Remember nung time na nakaleave ako but I went here to give you something? We we're talking then, tapos pagdating niya iniwan mo ako and pumunta ka sa bay nya. All the time, kaya pala dikit ka ng dikit sa kanya...pinagmukha mo akong tanga.

- Remember na walang oras na lumapit ako sa iyo na hindi ka nakasimangot. Na para bang pinaparamdam mo sa akin na nakakaistorbo ako sayo.

- Kinausap kita kung gusto mong malaman kung sino si Stop...naalala mo sinagot mo sa akin ng pasigaw? "Huwag kang magulo, naglalaro ako."

- Alalahanin mo lahat ng mga oras na nagpaalam ako sayo ng matino, sinagot mo ako ng wala akong pakialam...masakit nun may ibang mga tao dun.

- Alalahanin mo lahat ng oras na sinigawan mo ako. Na parang lahat ng galit sa akin mo gustong ibuhos.

- Naaalala mo pa na ayaw mo ng trinatraydor ka? I tried sooooo hard to keep our relationship a secret from my new friends. Hindi ako masyadong naglalapit sayo dahil sabi mo ayaw mo ng issues and may gusto kang marating sa career mo, Ginawa ko un lahat kahit mahirap, pero bakit mo ako trinaydor ngayon? Kamag-anak mo ba si Hudas? Nyork!

Inintindi kita nun dahil iniisip ko ayokong dumagdag sa mga problema mo. And between the two of us ako ang dapat umintindi dahil ako lagi ang may oras. Yun ang lagi mong pinaparamdam. Lahat ng mga nangyari na yan, yan lahat ang diko makakalimutan. I can forgive but I know it will be hard to forget, dahil tumatak lahat nyan sa akin, hindi lang ung pangyayari lalo na ung pakiramdam.

Sinabi mo, ayaw mo akong madamay sa mga problema mo ngayon...kaya ba kaibigan ko na lang idadamay mo? You want me to feel that you're doing a noble act by letting me go. Iba naman pain ung binigay mo. Mahirap ba sayong sabihin ang totoo? Kung sinabi mo nun na hindi ka na masaya, aalis naman ako kaagad. Kaso lagi mong reason, ayaw mo akong madamay sa problema mo na kesyo unfair...you know very well na lalong hindi ako aalis nun.

Nahuhurt ako dahil ganun pala ako kawalang kwenta sayo. Dahil kung meron man, maiisip mo kung anong mararamdaman ko kung ginawa mo ito. Iniexpect mo ba na iintindihin kita? Hinahanapan ko ng reason kung bakit mo gingawa sa akin ito...dahil hindi ko maisip na ganito ka talaga.

Dati kapag sinasabi mong babawi ka...tapos hindi matutuloy, tapos babawi ka na naman, pero hindi na naman matutuloy, kapag sasabihin mong babawi ka ulit...umaasa pa rin ako nun na tutuparin mo...hindi ko inaasahan sa ganitong paraan mo ako babawian.

You've once told me nung naghiwalay tayo, na dapat lang sarili mo ang uunahin mo...but the road of life should not be traveled that way, kaya nga may stoplight...you should know when to stop, to listen and to go, para walang aksidente. Life isn't always about your happiness alone, you need also to put consideration people along the way. Dahil kung masasaktan mo sila hindi ka naman magiging totoong masaya.

Share ko lang ito sa'yo:

There was once a scorpion and a frog who wants to cross a river. The scorpion said "Frog help me cross the river, please?" The frog said, "No, if I do that you will bite me." The scorpion replied "I will not, if i'll do that both of us will drown." So the frog helped the scorpion to cross the river. While on the center of the river the scorpion bit the frog. While the frog is dying, he looked at the scorpion and said "Scorpion, why did you bite me?" The scorpion answered, "it's my nature."

A close friend of mine who knew you once said...apart from all of these, there's still goodness inside you...un nga lang weakness mo ang babae. God has given us the power to make choices, to distiguish right from wrong. That's why we could always be like the scorpion or choose to be someone who makes the right choices. Sinabi mo dati, paano kung may emotions...God put our head on top of our heart so that our emotions won't rule over us.

I know better now...

A day after I made the presentation for him, I found out something really horrible about him. It is something that I wouldn't thought he would do. And what's really hurting me now, instead of putting things to rest between the two of us, I kept on finding things about him, things I wish I never knew. Everyday its as if a gruesome part of his personality unfold. And everyday my resentment for him grows. To the point that I don't wanna talk to him anymore and I don't wanna see him. Have I done something wrong to you? Did I not treat you good when we're still together? For you to repay me these things?

I didn't ask for anything from you but to respect me. During the relationship, even if I didn't feel you respected me as your girlfriend you should have at least respected me as a person. You don't have any right to treat me this way.

Right now I'm still angry...I never felt so betrayed in my life. Shame on me for trusting you so much that I was blinded from who you really are. Shame on me for giving you so much love even if you don't deserve it. I'm moving on, and I know I can get through this. I'll hold back my anger while I can, because I know I should respect you as my superior. And that's the only respect that you will be getting from me.
