Had to lose my boyfriend to learn a lesson

Monday, November 10, 2008


On Thursday, Nov 6, my boyfriend didn't come as expected.

I was excited. Happy. I was anticipating his presence. But he didn't and I started getting worried.

What if something happened? What if he's dead? Why didn't he send me a message that wouldn't be able to come on the night of our anniversary. Thinking of the negative "what ifs" made me numb; as I lost control of the tears streaming down my face. I wanted to make a blog entry about it but I lost my way with words. I just couldn't find the words to write.

I could only scribble "I am under repair!"

We exchanged text messages with his mother. The next day, the next, and the next, still no sign. I didn't know what to do. But life goes on. I still worked. I tried to fake the cheerfulness that I always have when talking to my students and I did! Faked it until it became true.

It was a mentally and emotionally exhausting experience. When you are waiting indefinitely; you hope for something that you're not sure if it exists or not. But I definitely learned something, it was a humbling experience and God caused it to show me insights I wouldn't have noticed in ordinary situations.

What did I realize? Can you guess...

That you can live without your boyfriend? That he is not the one for you given he never let you know where he was?

Been there, done that so I can imagine what you feel. Pero, life goes on and try to take it day by day. It's a slow, excruciating process naman. Anyway, if you're really destined to be together, babalik at babalik siya sa iyo:) if not, there's a better fish out there. oh, i got a tag for you pala :D here's the link..http://www.pinaylighterside.com/2008/11/candle-of-love-hope-and-friendship.html

Oh! A loss...

Yes you'd get really pretty worried. I'm glad you are in good terms with his mother.

And she doesn't even know where's your man?
