May mga friends ka lang talagang kahit di mo nakausap ng ilang buwan, pag kinausap mo walang nagbago.
Convo with Torayns, a thread. (Bisaya/Waray language but translated)
Me: Dude!!! Kamusta?
Him: Ay grabe ka! Inuman ko ngayon. San ka?
Me: Bahay. Namiss lang kita.
Him: Ay yawa man oy. Kamusta work?
Me: Eto kapagod. Pagod na pagod na actually.
Him: Haha! Wala kang karapatan mapagod, di tayo mayaman! Osige ano gusto mo, balik ka sa bundok, dun ka nalang. Chill chill nga, wala ka namn pera.
Me: *nods in agreement Eh ikaw di kba pagod?
Him: Pagod ako but I am paid well. Ano balik ka sa work natin dati, 10hrs a day, magkano lang sahod. Wala pang OT.
Me: *agrees again Umiyak ako nung isang araw.
Him: Oh baket?
Me: Natakot ako, it just hit me like that ba. Pagkauwi ko ng condo tas pagod na pagod ako, naisip ko 'So eto nalang talaga ako forever? Bahay-work-bahay?
Him: Krizza.. (I love it when he says my name cus I know sunod niyan, matatauhan na ako.) Thats normal. Mafeel mo yan every now and then cus youre tired and stressed ka and obv, yan lang ginagawa mo. Bahay work bahay.
Him: I know this is not the life you imagined before but look at your job and what you have now. You prayed for these things right? Youre living the dream.
Him: Appreciate what you have, be happy being alone cus you dont depend your happiness in other people. Diba? Osige, need naman talaga ang partner, sex even, magalit man si Lord ba kay need man yan for reproduction and biology yan, alam mo yan.. pero time will come you will find him.
Him: For now, enjoy what you have. Be grateful. Di lahat ng tao may trabaho na bayad ng sakto at tama. Diba? Sabi ko naman sayo, mag foreigner ka na. Haha
Me: Haha! Ah leche oy!
Him: Ay promise! Iba ang point of views niyan nila, very different sa Filipino, lalo na when getting married, theyre very practical.
Me: Whatever. Haha Ikaw? Asan jowa mo?
Him: Hiniwalayan ko man. Sabi ni Dianne (common friend), di maganda. Haha
Me: Ay gago! Haha! How old are you na nga ulit?
Him: 29 mehn! Im fucking enjoying life. So ikaw, bata kpa. Chill lang.
Me: Okay, you 29, still no girlfriend or wife, okay safe pa ako.
Him: Eto may kwento ako. I talked to my ex. She in US now.
Me: Wait! Pang ilang jowa to?
Him: Ah kalimot na ako! Basta I asked her tell me about good stuff about being married, having kids.. your partner. You know what she said?
Me: Oh?
Him: You know what she said?
Me: Ano nga?
Him: You know what she said Krizza, I told her 'good stuff' ha.
Me: O ano nga.
Him: Getting married is the biggest mistake of her life. No spice anymore with husband. She regrets getting married.
Him: So I thought, I am single but miserable. She is married but miserable also. So you see? Create that happiness within you.
Him: Dont rush things. Youre too young. Me, I have 40 more years. Well, yes Im getting old.. but I am contented, I am happy, I think thats whats important.
Too bad naputol linya after that..
I texted him: I just needed that kind of conversation. I miss you
