May kirot pa rin pala

The other day my most recent ex (MRE) messaged me. Actually, he replied in my story. My story was about the 4-year photo trend and his comment was to post the year we were together. Even joked to him "the one with you?"

He just laughed at it and I did too. Then, I replied something that I later realized was a mistake. I asked him how he was.

  • MRE: oks naman
  • Me: that's good.
  • MRE: lol. Super happy naman.

I should have stopped there.

  • Me: Juicy! Sino naman nagpa-supper happy sayo?
  • MRE: Lol. De found na someone. hehehe la lang SKL

I was so dumb with text acronyms nowadays. If I have understood it right away. I would have replied with something polite to end the conversation.

  • Me: Di ko gets. You found someone? Ano yung SKL?
  • MRE: Found a new partner ne hehe After 5 years. lol SKL = Share Ko Lang

That led to a long conversation about our relationship that started from him asking me what his "toxic" traits were when we were together. I remember asking him this very same question before when I was reassessing my life. Back then he didn't want to answer. So why was he expecting me to answer it now? Probably he likes the guy so much that he didn't want to screw things up.

Anyway, what I wanted to let out was that in everything that was said during that conversation, the moral was I still have feelings for him somehow. Though it's been 6 years, I still have that pinch of hope in me for us. 

That conversation drained me somehow. Yes, I am happy for him and I do feel he deserves it. Yet, a part of me died a little. Old wounds which I thought were now healed but instead were just covered with scabs, were reopened. Conversations that were meant to have happened 6 years ago were also just taking place. I wish I knew then what he told me to know, was what I was feeling.

PS. Just a note for my future self. According to MRE, when he asks questions, it seems my answers weren't clear, or when he asks questions, he felt I was doubting him. So, learn to communicate your feelings well. Don't be ambiguous. Say and ask things straight.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig

Update to "Possible plot twist with a twist"

So here's the sitch. Plot twist (PT) and I aren't chatting no more. "Why?" you might ask. So here's what happened. On the night we were supposed to meet, he bailed. He said that he was going to his friend's birthday party. I call it BS. We've been planning it for more than a year and we've been talking every day and only that night that he tells me he's not available. I wasn't having it.  Anyway, the next day. I had a misfortune. So, my attention from that night before was all gone. I didn't care about him anymore. All that we talked about and discussed seemed like all lies. I unfriended him from social media. Didn't care for someone can't really communicate and wastes people's time. I recently informed his friend that we were exchanging messages. I also told him that I wasn't surprised about PT flaking because he was also flaky. They're friends after all. So there. That's another charge-it-to-experience kind of thin

Japanese Bathhouse

I have never been to a bath house in my life. My knowledge about bath houses all came from blogs - gay blogs.  I discovered in those blogs that in bathhouses in the Philippines, you should leave all your shyness at the door because everybody walks around naked with cock whipping and balls hanging. There is a wet area where you can find the baths, sauna, steam room and shower. They say that's where the action takes place. So in short, you go to bathhouses if your looking for some titillating escapade. So that's what got me excited when I found out that I am going to go to a bathhouse here in Japan. Well aside from experiencing an authentic bathhouse for the first time, I would get to a see a sausage fest of sorts, have a relaxing massage, and hopefully experience some Japanese fun. I was darn nervous but excited.
