in a moment of weakness

 

in an instant you feel restless, hormonal and snappy. this is the time when your judgment is as murky as fac.room "mineral" water... you are intolerant of minuscule things and proceed into throwing nasty childish fits... then you realize... you have an EXCUSE to trip (read:be stupid) for the mere purpose that it "might" balance you again... things like...

  • answering texts from an unforgettable ex.
  • feeling sick and BECOMING really sick
  • keeping a secret stash of lucky strikes
  • eating nothing BUT chocolate for 2 days
  • purposely forgetting priorities
  • picking (invisible) fights like an insane beyotch
  • still answering texts *grrrrrr*
  • then realizing that it is wrong...and feeling all bummed out
  • deleting messages
  • erasing the number
  • feeling all guilty
  • getting all effed up and sad

miracle :)

 


tanya 6.3 lbs

sleepless nights, monster stretch marks, unglamorous weight gain, excruciating morning sickness, scary hernia, super heavy boobs... and everything that came with her... totally worth it.

saying "i love you" is not about the words, it is in the timing

the art of growing up

 

patience has left me ages ago... tolerance somehow got hold of the break-out and resilience went along for the ride . there are instances in life where i have successfully avoided utter embarrassment, illogical reasoning (thats an oxymoron) and stupidity in all forms and shapes but much to my dismay... they have triumphed more than i should have allowed them. i guess i have exerted all my free cuts for using "immaturity" as my go-to excuse for EVERYTHING. maybe im getting *pause for effect* better at "this" (meaning: life) cause i am about to face all the bull i have been avoiding (for years?!).

the good girl with bad habits should probably grow up, make better choices, come up with a sound plan for the future (yup the F word), afford to make mistakes and owe up to them, unlearn to sprint away at the first sign of chaos...

is reckless abandonment a curse? should my hunger for adventure wane in favor of the supposed "age of maturity"?

hormonal

 

well... i did it (again). i mean, i have outdone myself in terms of knowing more than i should. i could have kept my powers at bay (knowing my capabilities). fingers that have done the searching have, i guess, hit the jackpot.

damage done? i am not exactly sure but the information was tantamount to a folder labeled CLASSIFIED. whaddaheck. its kind of liberating in a way... sortof. this is what happens to people who "challenge" themselves too much. bullcrap. now im cursed with "knowledge" another entry to my trunk of stocked (and lazy) neurons.

i could hack into the pentagon if i wanted to...but i wont. i have to learn to control information overload (much to the dismay of my friends who have trust issues)

so i have got to stare at these (looking at possible combos to unlock the world's mysteries ) and banish all thoughts that lead to (further?!) inquisition. maybe even flick a dirty finger matched with a smug look "are you f*cking mocking me huh?"

when the word "difference" becomes "distance"

 

after the hyperactivity of the roller coaster of emotions that sent your systems into a record-breaking high, you reach a logical low, the downhill drop that gives you a more sane perspective. only then you realize the "differences" that seem so cute and easy before, now become potential deal breakers on relationship negotiations.

there was a game plan to troubleshoot future "spats", with that in thought, the word "compromise" was born and suddenly brought into the table. so now we have to draw the "let's meet half way" card during the times when nobody wants to bend anything. he even had that parallelism of standing on opposite ends of a ruler. sometimes one steps an inch towards the other, maybe half, or sometimes could go all the way. sounds simple... but stubbornness will make it triply hard for us to achieve such a contingency plan. i guess its worth a try though... goodluck na lang sa akin. the tricky part is WHEN and WHO draws the card.

i always fail in effective communication. i am not confrontational. i buckle during debates so i just keep silent and that bothers the heck out of him. him on the other hand, loves the defense. so what do we get from that? actually just tiresome and stressful exchange of thoughts, reasons and emo-drain. miraculously, things become better and we kindof (emphasis on the KIND OF) have an automatic internal reprogramming. although normally, i am pessimistic regarding the self-help and DIY "steps to a better and healthier relationship" , i got to hand it to myself because i am trying (YES I AM, very very hard) totally worth it actually. so far... i have not messed up badly. (although i am known to outdo myself)

i think we are a feat of nature. the ultimate fusion of diversity. one would think were a miracle (or probably a lethal combustion) waiting to happen. from dreams, to prejudices and beliefs, to plans (or lack of), to strategies... to character... to the "worlds" that have shaped our character. the deeper we become immersed with each other the more differences define us (hopefully not divide us).

hee-haw

 

my life has been having constant spasmic attacks for the past few days, i dunno if the series of events were wished to life by my hormonal imbalance or probably the yo-yo philippine temp (cold-hot-boiling-freezing). so what happened to me?

i have had the privilege of being warden to the 18-ish college exams. fucken boring. added to my already mongolodial state, i wasnt at all amused as i normally was. i used to love watching students "try" to put their game faces during exams. some look hilariously constipated though and theyre the funniest to watch (disturbing sometimes). its really sensational how we all have our own tales of "proctorship" from the pathetic late excuses, to the super yabang aholes who pump their fists "YES!" as if naman alam nila tunay na sagot to the people who look blank (literally slash figuratively) AND hopeless. i have actually diagnosed them as right-answer-anemics.

taking the "relationship" with you-know-who to a higher level meant more perks AND obstacles wait...am i referring to "it" as an actual relationship now? isnt that branding? ohwell who gives a shit anyway. were great where we are. i am just lucky he still sticks by me whenever i have this retardation attack. we have had spats before, true to his logical, sane nature...he has managed to keep spats as...well... JUST spats. small-one-minute-arguments that are miraculously solved with good food, eyelash batting (he has hazel eyes and really long lashes that i envy) and the disarming smile (yes..THAT smile) that freezes everything to a ceasefire, then we come home happy shiny people once again like nothings wrong with this sordid world. that was until...we realized we were just as susceptible to worse fights and emotionally imbalanced arguments (that cannot be solved with good food or eyelash batting) as any other "couple". im just glad that even if we had the makings of a high-profile-chismis-prone-in-a-relationship-status (that would drive bored and nosy people insane) he has chosen to go with my way of making things simple and private. less people involved, less opinions, less problems. but crazy things happen. a routine spat went beyond the spat rules and has blown into a real argument and even matured into an i-am-pissed-off-i-cant-sleep-cause-this-is-fucking-us-up moment. of course the situation was really brewing a potentially nasty emo-explosion. started with talking over the phone with the i-am-not-in-the-mood-for-your-combative-overstressed-point, to his evidently pissed off tone when i blatantly said that "this is a pointless argument", to the tired and uninterested voice, lack of sensitivity...to the hyperlevel of combative statements...to intolerance...the "ewan" and "bahala ka" drops in monotone... to the texts that were cryptic and the answers that followed. we ended the phone conversation with an awkward pause...i recalled him saying that he missed me and i just clicked the end-call button like i was retardedly deaf or something that made me a notch more inconsiderate and abnormal (than the usual). didnt get to sleep right, i was awake watching darkness (how sad is that?) and from the "balik-tanaw" relationship troubleshoot we had, he didnt get enough either. he was the type to step up and become the mature person who sees the whole picture as what it was, an overblown overplayed spat. me? i am the crazy one, i choose to stay quiet and become emotionally ruined. i glad he is who he is, and apparently he is glad i am who i am too (whatever that meant). i should someday find myself deserving of him.

after good food, eyelash batting...the smile... the head-on-shoulder moment, a bad piolo-angel movie... everything is right in the world again.

this is it. and it is the best. imperfect but the best.
