BAD YEAR FOR LOVE.
I figure that there are 4 major elements in my life: FAMILY, FRIENDS, CAREER, and LOVE. 2005 was a terrible year for friendship. I was betrayed, deceived, and hurt by some of my long-time friends, and everything that happened to me at that time almost left me devastated.
As I entered the year 2006, I never expected that it would be such a bad year for love. So check this out..
MUSLIM DOCTOR
I was in this relationship with a medical student (who happens to be Muslim, by the way) for over 4 years. It just hit me that the relationship was long overdue and this guy was never gonna marry me because of our difference in “faith.” And before 2005 ends, he proposes to me. Great! Just great. Fabulous actually. Not. Bad wishes from everybody at the thought of “Aimee becoming Muslim.”
And then there was New Year 2006 at BORACAY…
SAN FRANCISCO Fil-Am.
Met this not-too attractive guy that was very smart and funny. Sorta liked him. Fooled around with him for a bit until he left for the US. He was starting to really like me a lot. He called me all the time. I entertained him. But never left the muslim doctor.
And then one of my bosses at work introduces me to the son of our US Business Partner…
NEW YORK Fil-Am.
My doom. The gist of it is this: dropped every guy in my life (EVERY POSSIBLE GUY ON THIS PLANET I COULD”VE HAD A THING WITH, AND COULD’VE BEEN MARRIED TO RIGHT NOW) for this college drop-out who I’ve only been with for 3 weeks! Left for the US after 3 weeks with the promise of coming back after 5 months. And after five months, I get butt-fucked… almost. He doesn’t come home. And not a single e-mail, phone call, or text message as to why he just dropped me. Not even a POST-IT.
NOW, 2 WEEKS AFTER.
Been out on dates with a guy from Baguio who could possibly be April Boy’s long lost brother, and a fresh-grad from ATENEO with lots of pimples on his face and hormones in his groin. Just perfect.
I talk about self-preservation and shit and I just let myself waste away these couple of months for a guy I haven’t seen in months. One minute you have everything, the next minute you’re just nothing. So much for my Happy Ending, as Avril would say. Pathetic. So this is what KARMA feels like. Swell.
