How It Feels Like

Ganito pala ang pakiramdam ng ahas.

KALOKAH!

Being the freakin' regine, it's different. It gave me a new outlook to life. It was a learning and worthwhile experience.

Di pa ko nakaranas nang masulutan ng iniibig. Sa bathhouse, naranasan ko nang masulutan ng booking. Nasa harap ko na yung borta, may lumapit lang na mas maganda sa akin, naging hangin na. Masakit. Nakakapanghinayang. Pero ang mas malungkot, kung nabooking mo sya at di rin pala exciting yung sex nyo. Nadilaan mo nga sya pero hindi mo nasubo. Frustrating. So, alam ko ang feeling ng nasulutan.

Di pa ko nakaranas nang masulutan ng iniibig. At kung mangyari sa akin yun, sana buong puso kong tanggapin yung katotohanan na hindi kami para sa isa't isa. I remember my ex told me, nung kami pa, na sa dami ng pumormang lalaki sa kanya, mga magagandang lalaki talaga, pinili nyang manatili sa tabi ko. Ganda ko lang, di ba? Ang punto ko lang, kaibigan, eh kung uukol yan, bubukol yan. Kung kayo'y para sa isa't isa, kahit anong pang-aahas ang gawin ng ibang tao, hindi kayo malalayo. Ibig ding sabihin nyan, nasa sa tao yan kung bibigay sya sa tukso.

Pero di ko sinamantala ang kahinaan ng tao sa akin. Gusto kong ilahad ang buong storya kung paano ako nakipagkaibigan sa kaibigan ng aking kaibigan, at kung paano naging masalimuot ang takbo ng mga pangyayari. Pero iiwan ko iyon sa amin na lang. Sa tingin ng nasaktan, sinaktan ko sya para sa pansarili kong kaligayahan. Magmumukha lang akong defensive.

Sa tingin ng madla, ako ang nagkasala. Kung ito ma'y idadaan sa paglilitis, sa korte, malakas ang argumento ko.

Kasi kung guilty ang puso ko sa salang pagtatraydor, bakit ang saya ko at nagagawa kong magpost ng mga nakakaumay na statuses sa facebook? Bakit nakangiti ako sa paggising sa umaga? Bakit ang saya-saya ko pag kasama ko sya? At bakit hindi ako nagdalamhati sa isang lumisang kaibigan?

It's either I have a callous conscience or a clear one. I am pretty sure (hindi sa pagbubuhat ng sariling bangko), na hindi unscrupulous ang konsensya ko.

I told rowell that people will never understand what I did. I will only be judged and condemned for what is apparently snatching somebody else's prospects. Not catch, but prospects.

Bakit hindi ako guilty? Sincere yung intention kong makipagkaibigan dun sa guy eh. Ang tanging guilty lang ako eh yung maling approach para kaibiganin sya.

Nakakaloka talaga; ang complicated kasi.

Despite the complications, the guy got close to me. He accepted me for being the slut that I am. I may be a slut, but I'm the best slut there is. Chos!!!

It's ok if ex-friend wishes to shut me out of his life. He said I already committed too many transgressions or misdemeanors. Bakit hindi ako nagsisising nawala sya? I guess there was not enough investment in our friendship. True, there were good memories. True, we had good times and bad. But what I couldn't believe was he'd sharply remember my faults, as if listing them in his mind, so that when the time comes, he'd use it to sling against me.

I read Rudeboy's comment in John Stan's blog: all you need is to give people enough rope. I guess I used my friend's all up. At ang pagpapakita nya ng ugaling di ko inaakalang ilalabas nya ay sapat nang rason para hindi na ko magmakaawa pang ibalik ang pagkakaibigan.

Sa lahat ng mga nangyari, natutunan kong mahirap unawain ang ahas. Pero may mga ahas na may rason para gawin nila ang mga bagay na ginawa nila. Katanggap-tanggap man sa ibang tao o hindi, importante pa rin kung ano ang pinaniniwalaan nilang totoo at pinanghahawakang prinsipyo. Isa lang ang pwede mong gawin: panindigan ito o iwasan mong maging ganito. Kung tutuusin, mas magaan pa ang sitwasyon ko kesa sa dinaranas ng mga third party at querida. Wala kasing violence na naganap, pero sapat na emosyonal trauma ang naranasan ko para matuto nang husto sa sitwasyong ito.

For all it's worth, I felt regret at first, but I got very, very happy with my situation now. Major, major majorette na happy!

  1. Hahahahahahahah ZOMG!

    The plot thickens.

    Sorry, Carrie, I didn't know it was...you! At any rate, since this is really none of my beeswax, I'll just make like Switzerland on this one :P

    Hindi ko alam na maari ka palang tawaging ahas dahil gusto mong maging kaibigan ang prospect ng kaibigan mo.

  3. Mugen, I guess I'm too paranoid thinking that ex-friend might make me appear as one, although he did not call me as such. I guess the more pressing issue was how I used up the ropes of our friendship through all my misdemeanor and transgressions. According to him, communicating with the guy was the last straw.
    The thing is, ex-friend will always think that I took away what's supposed to be his.

  4. Rudeboy, just sharing. I know I'm in really bad light, but I've come to realize, it was a dying friendship anyway. Di ko alam na malapit na palang mapigtad ang pisi. If not this incident, some other incident may happen to end that friendship. And I wouldn't be meeting the guy who is making me happy now. :)

    for whatever it's worth, there are friends who are not worth keeping. it's good that we were able to pull away from them early on.

  8. Friend, your friendship is doomed from the very start.

    "But what I couldn't believe was he'd sharply remember my faults, as if listing them in his mind, so that when the time comes, he'd use it to sling against me. "

    Para sa akin, as long as wala kang ginagawa, you don't deserve to be called a snake.

  9. John Stan, actually, nung una, nalulungkot ako sa nangyari, pero kagabi parang ramdam ko na pag may marinig pa akong malisyosong statements galing sa kanya, mabibigwasan ko sya sa pagkikita namin. May pagka-violent ako minsan eh.

  12. Teka Carrie, ang intense na ng teleserye mo ah.

    Looks like you found happiness, but at what cost? Nevertheless, it looks like you were quite willing to pay the price. =)

  18. Thanks, Mugen. I'm just being hard on myself.

    Friends, thanks for reading.

    But just to clarify, it wasn't the guy's good looks alone that made me choose the risky path. I like him, and I know that he may not love back as much as I do. But I'm so happy that I feel no hung ups whatsoever. Do you like the old emoterang Carrie? I don't.

    The friendship was doomed from the start, after all. I just didn't see it coming. And I'm glad it was over.

  19. I guess fate is as sinewy as it is intangible.

    Some people come into our lives meant to play a certain part, a certain purpose. But somewhere down the line, free will and human emotion gets in the way. Motives are tested, objectives revised. And we find ourselves clueless and surprised as to how things turn out the way they did.

    It doesn't matter what the other person thinks. Nor what they feel of the same situation, at the end of the day what matters is you, yourself. If your intentions were pure, the sentiment decent and sincere, nothing else matters. Nothing else should.

    When it comes down to it, we are left to ourselves. If you can sleep at night with a smile and a serenity of the knowledge that what you did was right, then all is fine.

    Your a good man. You may have some transgressions, as we all do, but inherently you are good. And what this supposed friend of yours was implying was a mere translation of his own view of things, his perspective filtered through his myopia of perceived conceit. If that is the case, then he's not the sort you'd want to keep.

    I think you know your boundaries. And knowing this, you would know where to place yourself. Prove him wrong in his delusions, but more importantly prove yourself right in the choice that you made.

    On a different note, I will be officially unemployed by end of October. I am currently seeking online for possible work options. Maybe Singapore ain't so bad, after all. Time are hard, and work, it seems, is mediocre here. The underemployment rate is on a progressive high.

    Hey, you still owe me coffee right? :)

  20. I feel like I stumbled upon something very uncomfortable here. Magpapaka-Switzerland nalang ako like Rudeboy.

    Never pa ako nangaliwa pero medyo I've been the Regine in a number relationships. What I learned is that people will get over it. Minsan natatagalan lang at most importantly, the acceptance has to start with you. I'm glad you're happy. Uso ata talaga ang love ngayon. :)

  21. wow, i like this post. Naalala ko tuloy nung minsang may inahas ako at nagpaahas ako at may inahas ako hahahaha.

    pero tama ka, pag gising mo sa umaga na masaya ka, bakit ka makukunsensya? alam mo naman ang tama at mali.

    Isa lang ang masasabi ko: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE. Ang tao ay makasalanan, nagawang mang-ahas, nang-ahas, at nagpa-ahas ay dahil sa PAG-IBIG. maling pag-ibig, tamang pag-ibig, at least PAG-IBIG pa rin.

    di ba papa soltero? hehehe.
