Hoping

Two months since I still hold it dear in my heart.

I could not entertain the thought that you were gone from my life. It has been five wonderful years. I could not even believe that this would happen. Again and again, I told myself that it was all my fault. And I admit that. I had been too much.

Now, here I am regretting all the things that transpired. I was thinking what would we be had we still have each other. You could imagine the disappointment creeping inside of me. It feels as though every fiber of my body throbs with pain, as if every vein knows about the misery.

I am going through a most difficult phase of my life. I am not prepared for this.

After taking my TOEFL IPT, we talked. You said that you realized that what we had was all wrong. There was no point arguing with you about that. I respect your decision as I always will. Again I was not prepared for that. Suddenly you had a complete change of heart. Whew!...what could I say? Left to myself, I could not gather the strength to even utter a word neither to think of anything meaningful to say.

There you were after five years telling me about that realization. I admire you for that. But it occurred to me that it seems easy for you. Why? I thought it unfair. I was having difficulty dealing with it and yet there you were having the time of your life without me.

And I am left with my misery. Friends would tease me being the only one feeling this way and you were feeling otherwise. Ahhh, that sometimes life could be really unfair is itself miserable.

Don't worry I am fine. Time will get me through this. I have to cope with it.

Cope? How? That I do not know. All I know is to wait.

That you would be here.

Swimming

We went for a night swimming. My friends and I enjoyed the cool breeze of the starry night in Alroa (that's the name of the resort). Well, I did not exactly go for a dip but as I said I enjoyed the night and the thought that I was out of home. I rarely get out of the house since vacation started. I just don't know but I was actually afraid of leaving home after that 'incident' that happened a week ago. It frightens me til now. Having survived that, I believe it was kinda life changing. It made me change the way I look at my life now. It feels weird but I really enjoy being at home, with my mom and being alone with myself. But I had to admit that it is suffocating at times. I need to get out to breathe some fresh air and enjoy a refreshingly new environment. I believe that everyone of us, once in our life, well, maybe more, experiences that kind of imprisonment. We feel we are being burdened by our loneliness, that it is okay to be alone. But hey, one day, we will wake u...

Ash Wednesday

Today Lenten season begins. Together with the Filipino participants, I am going to attend Mass for the traditional ash-marking in the forehead. Since I am in a far away land, it is an opportunity for me to look back and reflect on how my life has been. I know I have a blessed life. I have been given so much. And I am thankful for all that come my way. There were good memories. There were sad memories even painful ones. But even the littlest detail of my life has been a lesson learned. When I picture the people who are always there for me in my mind, I just can't help but ask, have I been there for them ?In the process, there were those who came and left their marks behind yet there were those who came and left scars in my heart. Nevertheless, somewhere in my life, I have been me. I was touched. I was hurt. And nothing compares the pain of loneliness, of emptiness, of being ignored. As the season unfolds, let it be my resolve to look back and let go of the heavy burdens in my load. ...

Been Some Time

It took me some time to make another entry. Not that I am busy. I do not even admit that to myself. Not that I do not have the time. I have all the time I need. Not that I do not have anything to write about. So many things have happened in between. Just can't explain the lull. Maybe I am just too lazy to put my thoughts down. Anyway nobody cares or bothers. But I told myself what the heck. This gives me the impetus to go on living and live I will. There are pains. I felt pains. I am still having them now. I think the pain will stay. Whatever causes the pains, that I could not understand. Sometimes it is self-inflicted. I deserve it. For not knowing how to handle life, I deserve all the pains. That is gross. It's unfair. I thought I was doing myself justice. But why do I have to punish myself for being what I am? I have my limitations, my strengths, my weakness. I am well aware of them. I could not help it when I would not be accepted as I am. I just let be. As I ponder on the ...
