A typical yuppie in your plain white shirt, pinstriped pants and heels, I look closer and notice you’re wearing almost-black plum nail polish and lipstick of almost the same shade. You have a blanket thrown haphazardly over your shoulders, earphones stuck in your ear. You’re listening to a bunch of alternative bands and Avril Lavigne. You never left your computer except to eat, beside you is a thick pile of readings. Your hair’s one big mess. How much more of a contradiction can you be, Chrisseth?

guy #1
i told myself that i'd banish him from my thoughts, that i won't turn every single thing that reminds me of him into portkeys of memories that i'd want to relive, and yet he still manages to squeeze his way into my mind every now and then. people have asked me over and over again, "are you in love with him?" i'd like to think that i'm not, that i'm just amused that i met someone who actually watches national geographic and discovery channel, who remembers my favorite quote from my girl 1, who knows a hell lot more about movies and tv programs than i do, who actually corrects my pronunciation and who uses predictive texting. but i keep wondering if he thinks about me too... i keep thinking about what he'd say, how he'd react to certain situations if he only happened to be with me...
i... miss him.
guy #2
he's not my usual type... well, #1 isn't, either, but i liked this guy almost immediately after meeting him because um, he's the only ok-looking guy in our training class. he's not super cute or anything, but he's an eye candy. nice
porma. after a while i realized he's the unbearable coño type, forever speaking in that contrived american twang so i got irritated and moved to guy #3 (i'll elaborate on him later) just so i can have something to look forward to everytime i go to work. but we became friends, and i started hanging out with him and whaddya know, he's not so bad afterall. thing is, he already has a girlfriend AND he seems to like one of our friends who's really2 close to me.
hai... it's not confirmed yet, but our friend likes him too so... there. too bad. he turned out to be this really, really nice guy who'd make sure he'd go to you when you seem sad so you two can share a joke or two, even if nobody else has noticed. he even left our friend one time because
"walang kasabay si chryss." super nice considering they're already kinda "mu" and all. i even get invited to hang out with the two of them as a sorta third wheel so that the girl won't fall too hard
daw for him (since the situation is
magulo, yada) and yet i have never felt out of place.
hai...guy #3
me and my friends were playing and throwing pens during the first day of training and the pen i threw out suddenly landed on somebody else. the guy is definitely not cute. my friends teased me about it, "soulmate
daw" cut to: next day, we were checking our quizzes and i was checking this paper with an unbelievably high score. guess whose paper it was? yup, the "pen" guy. he goes to class, sleeps or listen to mp3's and yet get scores higher than most of ours. cut to: the class just came back from a break, our trainer started saying something but was cut by somebody singing, "la, la, la." i look at the back and saw guy #3 with earphones stuck to his ear seemingly not caring that most of the people in front are already looking at him. cut to: i was walking one day, frustrated by an online exam, and blurted "just when you think you know everything...aargh!" didn't know he was behind me, just heard a voice that said "you can't know everything." ookai... heath ledger in 10 things i hate about you? i started thinking, hmmm... he's brainy, he's witty, he's rich pa pala, pero he's super modest, so since i was just turned-off by coño guy #2, i decided i liked him better. turns out he likes the same girl guy #2 likes and started stalking her like a psycho. take note, he has a girlfriend too. turned-off
ang lola mo. but he's still among the few ones who says the funniest, wittiest comments plus i'm still amazed at how little effort he exerts to study and yet he's still one of the few people who i think will get top marks on the licensure exam.
again, too bad.
guy #4
we used to really jive. i used to find him physically appealing, though i know a lot of people would beg to disagree. his sense of humor was something that i really liked about him, though nowadays i seldom find his jokes funny. he's intelligent, though it's not the same brand of intelligence i would've wanted my guy to have. he had been all i ever wanted, right now he's all that i have. i want to be fair to him, to be fair to myself. to figure out my real feelings once and for all. even though it doesn't seem like it, i want to be worthy of being called his girlfriend...
and he loves me...
he really, really does.
A Prayer Long Overdue
Thank you.
For giving me the most wonderful family a person can ever have. My grandparents were extraordinary. Up until now I don’t think I can ever do anything in my life that would make me deserve them. In fact I think I may have done a few things which would make me deserve them less, but there they were, even after all the stupid mistakes I have commited.
For giving me an intelligent father and industrious mother. Thank you for making me come to terms with the fact that they are human, and for letting me see past their differences and imperfections. They, afterall, produced me and 3 other superb kids whose wit and kindness I can only hope to surpass.
For this job that I complain so much about; I know I should be thankful instead. And I am... I guess words of other people just get to me too much and sometimes I just wish I could be the person everybody expected me to be. But still, I am grateful that every once in a while you remind me of how lucky I am that I am here, I can help my family, and I can still live comfortably and afford some of life's luxuries.
For my friends whom I love so much. I would never have survived without them.
For "him." For giving me someone who loves me as much as he does. I hope that I made the right decision in getting back together with him. Please let me get it right this time, if this is really where I'm supposed to be. I no longer want to commit the same mistakes I have commited in the past.
For making me the person that I am right now. This strong, independent, opinionated woman who a lot of people abhor, but is still loved by a few chosen ones. I would never wish to be anything else other than the person I already am (although I might've dropped a joke or two of wanting to be somebody else in the past). I've come into terms with all my faults, eccentricities and qualities that endear me to the people I love.
For all the people I fought or argued with, for the men who broke my heart.
Even though at times it may seem that I may have been complaining... really, I could not have asked for anything more that I would need to have.
charos!
