Ending Of Chapter One: Another Shot At Happiness
Posted on January 29, 2010 12:00AM
I had dinner with my old friend Mia. Over fish and tofu we talked about the years that had passed; how a part of us is still stuck in the past and how we find it very hard to move on. I told her that wallowing is somewhat therapeutic. Wallowing makes me feel honest to myself. There’s a sense of comfort in knowing that even if it makes no sense to other people, you know for yourself that you are being completely true.
But you know what she said that helped me get Matt behind me for good?
“Kung wala nang chance for happiness, why would you choose to stay in the past? Malulungkot ka lang.”

Finally Letting Go
Posted on January 26, 2010 12:00AM
If I could go back to that time, I would have handled it differently. I don’t know if he ever gave a damn for my feelings, but despite what had been so obvious, I continued to stay hopeful and blinded. I was in love.

Jumpstarting A Career In Writing
Posted on January 25, 2010 12:00AM
It was my debut article as an entertainment blogger. Franco asked me to write a review for Avenue Q and even invited me to join their group of movie bloggers. It felt good to write again and put my thoughts into words.
And what difference the review made. One day, I got an email from an unfamiliar address. She commented on my post about Carla Guevara’s version of “There’s a Fine, Fine Line.” What started as an exchange of insights led to a freelance gig from the managing editor of one of the top publications in the country. What made it more fateful was the fact that K, my first-ever editor, was Matt’s old friend.

Pain Comes In All Forms
Posted on January 23, 2010 12:00AM
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

"There's A Fine, Fine Line Between Love And A Waste Of Time..."
Posted on January 22, 2010 12:00AM
I should have taken that as an omen, a warning, a red alert, but I didn't. I had no idea that tonight, all the fine lines protecting my sanity would be broken in a single strike.
How I wish I had ditched Franco right after the play ended. If only I made a mad dash out of the theater and into the cold Makati night, I wouldn't have seen them. But I did.
