i was hanging with old buddies from highschool the other day, and as usual, we talked about plans and life in general.
we are all in a phase where we're torn between acting like an adult and being a kid. it was all so overwhelming. it seemed like only yesterday that we were running around campus playing agawan base and now, in a span of one year, most of us are going to graduate, get a job, maybe go abroad. responsibilities are getting bigger and heavier. priorities are being reshuffled, POVs are changed. but, as my best bud arbyn remarked, one thing remains constant: i still havent found THE ONE. (i will make another entry on changes.. )
yup. ive never had a boyfriend. and i dont think ill be having one any time soon. i remember my boybuds betting their lives that i wont find the man of my dreams. i HAD a very high standard back then. mala-pari according to ganch, maybe even surpassing that level. i wanted someone better than perfect. someone everybody would love. i was that stupid in highschool.
i remember rejecting boys the moment they asked if they could court me. i didnt want people wasting their time on me, knowing that they wont get anything from me. its not that i didnt like them. its just that i didnt want to hurt them, because i thought they wouldnt reach the standard i set. the man i was looking for was above all of them, and i knew i wouldnt find him in my school. people from school, i thought, were kids. very stupid.
then i got myself into a serious boy-trouble that ended with me hating every basketball jersey-wearing humans. i became a man-hater, just as i entered college. perfect timing, since my mom used to tell me that people usually meet their lifetime partners in college. great.
i thought everybody in my college were jerks. ok, so i met a few good men, but the damage done to me of that experience was irreversible. nobody will ever be good enough. all the boys i met had "cheaters" written all over their faces. when a guy makes even the slightest move, i jump and ran away. i "hybernated", retrieved myself from all social occasions involving the opposite sex. i had friends, but that was it. no more. or i bite.
and then in junior year, i met him. he wasnt very special. i didnt even notice him at first. he was the new guy- that was the extent of his existence in my life, i couldnt even consider him a friend. an acquiantance maybe.
a lot of my blockmates really went all over him. he was nice. and polite. and kind of funny. but he wasnt my type. he didnt even reach half of the standard i once set for my dream guy.had i met him in highschool, i would've been the fist to make fun of him.
and then, i dont know what happened exactly, but i just found myself looking his way more frequently. i wanted to get near him, talk to him, if the opportunity permits. i wanted him to notice me. i could say he did notice me. for a time, i guess.
but heres the catch: once i realize i like somebody, i choke. and i did just that. i choked, and then avoided him. i was pathetic. im such a loser.
but, due to unavoidable circumstances (which were in favor of yours truly), during the last month of that school year, we've gotten pretty close. not close "close", but enough to stop avoiding him, though i still choke.
to cut the story short, he reinforced my generalization about men. we didnt end up together, as a matter of fact i doubt it that he feels the same way i do. but what he did, how he treated me - so unlike the previous guys i met - his funny, unassuming, friendly manner, it made a huge impact on me. that there are still worthy men out there just waiting for nice girls like me (i hope).
most of all, he made me realize - even if he was unaware of it - how stupid it was to set standards. that the perfect guy i was looking for exist only in my dreams, in the realms of my imagination. and even if he does exist in reality, who knows we'd get along? im not perfect myself, how would i expect somebody pefect to like me?
he made me wake up to the reality that, sometimes, people fall for the person they least expected, at the most unexpected situation. i once told a friend i wont be falling for another guy ever. i guess i spoke too soon.
this story does not have a fairytale ending. i didnt get the prince. (he wasnt charming enough :P kidding) he just didnt feel the same. and i think i may have even made a fool of myself once or twice. it wasnt all happy happy joy joy. but i am, however, thankful that i met this guy. if it wasnt for him, id still be the bitter, man hater feminist. id still be ranting and writing about how men are fucking jerks and all the crap i used to do. and i guess the male population should thank him as well, because another nice girl's up in the market. :P
buong buhay ko puro responsibilidd na. yung responsibilidad na dapat kay kuya lahat pinasa niyo sa kin. paglilinis ng bahay, pagluluto, pabubunot ng damo, pamamalengke, pagayos ng ilaw, pagbantay sa bahay pagbantay sa kanila paglabas ng basura. pagpapaaral sa kaniya, pagbayad sa kuryente, at kung ano ano pang bayarin. lahat na sakin na. hindi ako perpekto, tamad din ako. madame din ako kasalanan. d ko rin nagagawa lahat yan araw araw.

nung siya nangarap ng bagay na alam nating lahat hindi naman natin kaya, umiyak lang siya naawa ka na. binigay mo. kahit alam mo ung hirap na dadanasin natin. siya lng naman mabaet sa yo eh. sya lang ung magaling. siya lang ugn bida. siya lng nmn kase anak mo eh.
tapos ako ung pangarap ko na makapagtrabaho sa gusto ko at mahal ko. ano sagot mo sakin? ano salita mo sakin? "kung hihintayin mo pa yang pangarap mo walang mangyayari satin.". PUTANGINA.
tinrabaho ko lahat kase gusto ko matupad yung pangarap kong yun. pero dahil responsibilidad ko magpaaral at mabayad tinanggap ko na rin ung unang trabaho na nandyan. wala nmn ako magagwa eh. walang mangyayari satin kung hihintayin ko yung putanginang pangarap ko d b?
galit ako. hindi ko gusto tong ginagawa ko. wala kong ibang outlet para ilabas sama ng loob ko. sinasabi mo hindi mo ko pinilit dito? eh ano bang salita mo? ano ba pinagduduldulan mo sa mukha ko? na nakatengga lang ako dito sa bahay. na ung anak mo walang pambayad sa mga bayarin niya jan sa pagkatayog tayog niyang pangarap, na kahit naman sa trabaho kong to eh hindi rin naman natin kaya.
kelan lang for interview ako sa isang trabaho na gusto ko. kelan lang din for ionterview din ako sa opisina na pinapangarap ko. tinanggihan ko. bket? kse hindi rin nmn sigurado kung matutupad yung putanginang pangarap ko eh. bchaka nandito na tong una eh.
tapos magagalit ka kse "sinusupladahan" kita? nagagalit ka kase pagtinatanong mo ko kung anong nangyayari sa opisina ang sagot ko wala? eh kase wala. kse ayoko ng ginagawa ko dun. I DONT FUCKING LIKE IT BUT I DO IT, ANYWAY. WHY? BECAUSE I FUCKING HAVE TO. HAVE TO. NOT WANT TO. NOT LOVE TO. EH ANO BA NAMAN KASE YUNG PUTANGINANG PANGARAP KO SA PUTANGINANG PANGARAP NG ANAK NIYO DB? WALANG MANGYAYARI SATIN PAG HINITAY KO MATUPAD YUNG PANGARAP KO. KAHIT MAY TUMAWAG NA. TINANGGIHAN KO KSE MINAMADALI MO KO. PINALAGPAS KO NA YUNG CHANCE NA MATUPAD YUNG PANGARAP KO.
kaya sorry ha. kung sinusupladahan kita. sorry kung pabigat ako at kung problema ako sayo simula't sapol. sorry. kse lagi ko inuuna sarili ko eh. palamunin kase ako eh. irresponsable. walang utang na loob. walang kwenta. putangina kase tong ginawa ko eh. dapat d na lang ako nagaral mabuti eh. ikaw kase palaging panalo. oo palpak din ako. at oo galit din ako. hindi ko gusto to. galit ako sayo. sinisisi kita. kse kaya ako nandito dahil sa pagaaral nung anak mo eh. pasensya na. dalawang chansa sa pangarap ko yung lumagpas. ok lang kahit d na matupad yung pangarap ko, matupad lang yung sa anak mo. ano ba nmn yung pangarap ko db?
tinanatanong mo kanina kung may gusto ako sabihin sayo? eto un. gustong gusto ko na magsalita. pero hindi ko ginawa. kse alam ko masasaktan ka lang. at gagawa ka n nmn ng paraan para ibalik sakin lahat to. gustong gusto ko na isumbat lahat to sayo. pero d ko ginawa. kse nirerespeto kita.
