It happened almost a year ago. Those heartbreak scenes in mawkish old movies… I caught myself playing the role of the guy dumped by the woman he loves for someone else. Then came flash-back of scenes — how it all started, the online chats, the phonce calls, the letters, the sweet nothings — they all came crashing down. The guy kept asking, “How do I wake up to a new day?” 

Fast forward to the present. Have he moved on? Maybe not yet, but almost. 

This blog. It was written “because i wanted to keep track of my journey to the woman I [used to] love.” It was written almost halfway-through before the story ended. It’s a small project. A little surprise gift to mark the first year of our courtship. Later, it became another form of correspondence, supplementing chats and phone calls and facebook messages. Now it’s just a piece of history best read from the last page to the first. Reading it again is like a catharsis. I tried detaching myself from my own emotions as I browse one page after another and it felt good. I enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful love story indeed, only with a sad ending. 

There was a point when I almost regret making this “tumblr” because it may bring back wasted good memories and provoke bitterness. But these are real emotions and there are lessons to learn. 

I am not sure if the whole experience made a better man out of me. One thing is for sure, I made a good story out of it. Haha!

PS

The first post was almost a prologue. It’s almost a preview of how it’s going to end and it gave me the creeps. 

people change but memories don’t… and that just sucks.

doubtdoubtsbelievebeliefs asked: Oh. :) Basta labs ka namin. Ang mga pang-aaway namin sayo ay tanda ng aming pagmamahal sa inaasam naming Kuya (ni chacha) :)

alam ko naman yun. :) salamat sa masaket nyong pagmamahal. pero masarap maging Kuya sa inyo (kahit binabargas nyo ako lagi). 

subalit, ano ang ibig mong sabihin sa “inaasam”?
