Unfamiliar Territory!
May 28, 2007“Stop. Turn around. We are walking towards the bar. Move it. Move it.” Paolo says as he grabs my drink and looks at Christy. “Refresh my memory and tell me I wasn't hallucinating. That was Rica making out with Joel, right?” I told my friends after braving the crowd and finally reaching the bar. “Yes, that was her. Hey Ric, we need three shots of Kamikaze and a bottle of Tequila.” Paolo shouted above the din.
I've seen her out on dates many times but I haven't seen her making out with someone up close and personal (after our break up). Beats me. I don't really understand why I'm still hot under the collar when I see her!!!???… Please don't answer that!
“I'm calling everyone to tell them we're taking this show to Paolo's.” Christy says as she grabs her phone. “No, we are staying. I'm not leaving this bar because of her. I'm fine. Hell yeah I'm fine.” I said after downing my first shot.
The whole group started the serious grinding actions and after my fourth shot I found myself with my fellow revelers….
The following day at my nephew's baptism…
“I can't believe you invited her.” I told my mom after handing her a glass of water. “She's family. I don't care if you're seeing a whole bunch of other people but Rica will always be part of this family.” My mom scolded me. “Okay. You're talking about my life now. I'm your son and she broke my heart, remember?” I told her in my vain effort to make her realize that my ex was once a bitch from hell… I wish I could speak to her that way…
Yes, my family is still in love with my ex. It's my fault because I never really told them the truth. They always tell me that she was sorry for what happened and I should have given her another chance. Wait… Stop judging me. Can you honestly say that she deserves another chance after what happened???
I know I have friends who will always be there no matter what but there are times I feel shipwrecked and alone. Times when I feel the need to put a message in a bottle.
I wonder, shall I really stay here and write about my life or is it time for me to move to unfamiliar territory and start living my life?!

I get it man! Sometimes I just need validation from people who have experienced the same “dramas” in life…
So she’s the one who started my stigma to Thais… hehe… That they are bastards! haha! Not all naman… I’m so harsh! ehehe… You should’ve told your mom… Star living your real life, but don’t abandon your planet! I’m loving your posts!

Posted by sheila at May 28, 2007, 8:05 pmTell your momma the truth Kuya Alvin so you and ur family can start getting rid of her hehe sama ko noh
Posted by Mica at May 29, 2007, 12:35 amhey what’s with the choosing when you can have both right? you can write and live at the same time.you can have both planets at the palm fo your hand 
If I were you, I would have told them all about what happened from the start telling it now would only seem that you’re spreading bad things about her albeit it being true. I dunno but I wouldn’t have the guts to show my face to a family gathering of my ex after he caught me f**king another guy or maybe it’s just that I have more hiya than other people? Oh well.
Posted by twistedkai at May 29, 2007, 7:16 pmJanus, I actually told my family the gist of what happened but didn’t elaborate anymore. The experience was too painful…
Sheila, I’m really flattered. Yes, of course. I already answered your email.
Mica, I already told my family that I will never show up to any family gatherings if they’ll invite her again.
Raine, thanks for the encouragement. I’m giving myself a few more months before making the biggest decision…
Kai, people are different. I know that growing up in a foreign land is not excuse but I must say that she’s really liberated.
Posted by planetalvin at May 29, 2007, 7:33 pmmaybe you’re not really over her yet…
Posted by cheska at May 30, 2007, 5:12 amtough luck, mate. you can’t tell them the truth without sounding like a cad, and your ex knows it… she just likes to rub your nose in the dirt. vengeful little thing, ain’t she?
Posted by onyxx at May 31, 2007, 1:40 amCheska, nice try. Read my lips - O V E R! hehe
Onyxx, she is. She’s equally charming and using it to lure my family into believing that she’s the victim… Oh well, I’ve plans!
Hey remember what we just talked about ha?!
Under normal circumstances, I would understand where you are coming from. But it’s been how many years man? I can afford to take my time, I’m not ready, why? cause it just happened this year. Ask me a year from now, and maybe I would give you a different answer.
Don’t make me come there and kick you out of your comfort zone man!
