Blast from the past
About a month ago, my past caught up with me. It was something unexpected and in a way, it came as a shock.
It all started when I had a dream about a guy I had personal relations in the past (i don't really like using the term ex). I can't exactly remember the details, however I do know it was nothing mushy.
I dreamt about him almost every night. And base on experience, if I dream about someone a lot, then I just know something terrible has happend.
I wasn't really sure how to get in touch with him considering we have not communicated with each other after we parted ways.I just can't text or call him, it was just not that simple.
However, I just can't let something like this pass as well. What if something terrible did happen to him, I could not just sit down and pretend that it's okey.
So, I did the next logical thing I could think of and texted our mutual friend to ask how he was doing. My friend told me his mom died and that I should call him to ask how he was doing.
I didn't know what to do, I was not prepared to do something as drastic as that. Besides, he already has a girlfriend and I did not want to stirr anything up. But my friend told me I was just over thinking things and that it was okey to text him.
It took me hours to compose a simple text message. I'd start typing something and then erase it again. And when I finally came up with the message, I didn't have enough courage to send it.I had so many questions in mind that I wasn't sure I wanted answered. What if he wouldn't like hearing from me? What if his girlfriend reads my message and they end up fighting? What if he texted back? And worst, what if he calls and I pick-up? What would I say? How would I feel?
I finally snapped out of my paranoia typed my message "I heard about what happend to your mom. I'm so sorry for your loss." I was so scared.
My hands were shaking when I pressed the send button. And when it finally said, message sent I wanted to hit cancel and take it back.
When I did not get any reply, I was relieved. I didn't need him to text back. Sending my condolences was all that mattered.
I went on with my daily chores when I felt my phone vibrate. My hands were trembling when I checked who the message was from. And when I saw his name on top, I almost fainted. I was okey with being ignored but I was not prepared for this.
Me: How are you?
Him: I'm coping.
Me: Is this okey? I don't want to cause any trouble between you and ur girl.
Him: It's fine, you don't need to worry.
Me: I wasn't sure this was okey-me texting you considering what happend.
Him: Life's too short for us to dwell on the past.
Me: Are you really okey? You know you can always talk to me right?
Him: I know. Im just not the type of person who talks about his emotions.
Me: I know. You have always been like that.
Him: I knew that sooner or later this would happen and that my mom would (pause). I just wasn't expecting it was going to be this soon.
Me: Just remember, you can talk to me anytime. If you need anything, anything at all just let me know.
Him: I know..Thanks.

Haircut
Last week, I went to the salon to get a haircut. Not because I'm depressed or frustrated, nor was it because I just broke up with someone and wanted a fresh start. I just needed a haircut, plain and simple.
I went online to look at the different hairstyles I could choose from. I wanted to make sure that I still look human and not like some
"siopao with hair" (i am on the chubby side,so you understand my predicament).
When I got to the salon though, I was having second thoughts but then Emma, the hairstylist has already started cutting my hair.
Oh well, there's no turning back now. It's just hair anyway.
A couple of hairgels and blow dryers later, my stylist was done. I took a quick look at the mirror to assess the "damage" and to see if there was any need for damage control.
Not much has changed though, I still look like me only with shorter hair.
Ok, so maybe I was hoping that after the haircut i'd look a little bit like Charlize Theron-but then again thats too much wishful thinking or maybe a lot of plastic surgery.

Blogging
I have known about blogging for quite some time now, I am not from the "stone ages" after all. And yet I keep wondering why I have never ever created one.
A lot of my friends have their own blogsites & people at the office are starting to do the same thing as well. Since almost everyone I know has his or her own blog, I told myself-what the heck! might as well make one myself.
Thus, one slow Saturday morning at the office, I went to blogger.com and clicked on "create a blog" link. After waiting for the page to fully load, I then saw the main reason why it took me this long to create my own blog-It was complicated.
Im not saying it's as difficult as finding the next prime number, god knows its more complicated than that! I mean, before you can blabber away about the things that happened to you the other day, you still need to look for a perfect Blog Title. Something that would say a little something about you and yet it must be good enough for people to want to peruse further. Most of my friends know I am not a good writer, let alone find some catchy title for my blog, so this is something very stressfull to me. As if it's not complicated enough, it would then ask for a blog address and for you to choose how you would want your blog to look like. I mean, can't they just give me a list of titles and addresses to choose from that way i'll just click on one and then presto! Im done.
I soooo wanted to give up and just click on the “x” button on the upper right side of my browser. But then I thought, if I don't do this now I will never my own blog. So, like a brave soldier going to a battle, I racked my brains to think of some ingenious title for my blog. After hours of thinking and half a dozen of pain killers later, I finally got my title,click on next, chose my template and whala! My very own blog.
side note:
It actually just took me 10mins to think of a title (thanks to all those articles about choosing your blog title)
And, im allergic to pain killers.
