Lightning Struck Me Twice
Posted on November 21, 2011 12:00AM
In that dimly-lit restaurant that played Bollywood music, whose melody and charm reminded me of how low I had sunk, I felt my blood pressure rise steadily. I clenched my fists with every call Matt left unanswered and felt my nails sink into my palms, until he finally decided to turn the damned phone off.
I wanted to hit something. I needed to hit something. A wall, a table, a chair, a bottle of vodka--anything!
I was beyond mortified. I was beyond mad.
I was beyond help. -
"The Greatest Love Of Your Life Is...The One Who Got Away"
Posted on November 14, 2011 12:00AM
At 8:15PM, I bought coffee at Starbucks, and since there were very few people in the coffee shop, I decided to sit down and enjoy it while killing time. Chance ko na 'tong makaganti, I thought. Matt made me wait almost two hours way back then. Let him wait now, I told myself. -
This Time, Matt Will Do The Waiting

He hasn't changed his number.
After all these years, he still has the same number he had back in college.
After all these years, the numbers still feel familiar. -
Why, After All This Time, I Still Couldn't Hurt Matt

"Oh my God…" was all Stacy said.
I closed my eyes and lifted my face to the sky, hoping that the tears would somehow slip back to where they came from. When I opened them and wiped a few moist spots from the side of my face, I saw how Stacy's face had changed. Even without telling me, her expression showed just how sorry she felt for me.
Maybe the connection between us goes beyond what the eyes could see because even without words, she knew that it would snap me to pieces if she told me just how sorry she felt. -
Matt And Stacy
Posted on November 6, 2011 12:00AM
"I went to the U.S. as a last resort," Stacy said after I finished telling her what I knew.
"Matt--he's...oh, I don't know. There was something...almost frightening about him during those years. In college, he was so possessive. Yes, he had me erase my Friendster and Myspace accounts. He even asked for my password in Hotmail and kept track of my emails. Yes, he wanted me to 'disappear' from the internet and, because I was young and so much in love, I did what he asked. I even stopped talking to some of my friends that he didn't know."
She paused before saying, "I was just a young writer then and he was already the editor-in-chief of our school paper."
It almost felt like she could see the past shifting into focus right there at the park's open space, where kids ran around with their yayas hot on their heels.
