Rebecca Knows Best

May 26, 2008

AKO: "Mom naghiwalay na kami ni Niyaku. Nag-move out na siya sa Burg."

REBECCA: "Ha? Bakit?"

AKO: "Di ko pa ma explain."

REBECCA: "Baka naghiwalay kayo ni Mark tapos pabayaan mo ung school mo. Mag-aral ka mabuti."

AKO: "Yes Mom. Worried lang ako sa pag-aaral nya."

REBECCA: "Bakit nga kayo naghiwalay? Anong nangyari?"

AKO: "Basta. Di naman kami nag-away. Hindi din kami galit sa isa’t isa."

REBECCA: "May 3rd party?"

AKO: "Wala."

REBECCA: "Sira pala ulo mo e."

My Personal Tragedy

For years, I have made myself believe that love shall be my worst personal tragedy. The greatest threat to my sanity. The end of my time.  Yet each time I see myself inlove with a man, I become a paradox wanting to nullify the claim and longing to believe in fairy tales. That perhaps happy ever after could actually transcend my cynicism.

Today, I woke up confronted by the very thing that has always haunted me all those years. He moved out. Out of the apartment. Out of my life. Almost four years of my life, which I thought could travel a lifetime, ended. There is no one to blame. Twists of fate can sometimes catch you unexpectedly and knock you off sideways. And I’m back there again.

Love, indeed, is my worst personal tragedy.
