Things Go Topsy-Turvy

Funny how you really learn a lot as you grow older. You probably think back to those times where you just wanna smack your old self in the head so hard. Yes, we do have those memories. What's even more funnier is how things can go really upside-down.

By the way, before you might wonder, all stories told here are true or have happened in real life, names of people though are changed for private matters. Belat. Oh and yes, nagtatagalog po ako, so here we go.

Flashback to some more than 5 years ago, I was with a girl named Gwen. Now Gwen was 'that girl'. Now when I mean that girl, I mean yung considered na isa sa mga pinakamaganda, pinakamatalino, pinakamabait....and yeah, pinakaganun, you know that. And here I was, a low class gaming bum (I was good in math tho), holding her in my arms and enjoying life. Screw you if you don't believe me.

Well, to make it short, it was usually her and me together all the time. But due to immaturity and something we talked about, we eventually split ways. Now, before we did that, we did what is usually one of the couple things to do, tell our dreams/future to each other. Goodness gracious that really sounds the most cringiest thing ever. Well so ayun.

Sinabi ko gusto ko or balak ko gawin in the future. I'm not gonna go into details pero to make it short again, I wanted more of a passive-chill-stay-at-home-family type of future. On the other hand she wanted to have this outgoing-adventurous-take-the-opportunity-no-kids type. That was a huge factor why we split up to be honest.

Fast forward to the current times we are both about to turn 23 years old in about one and two months respectively. Things quite changed in an unexpected but positive way. Gwen now has a boyfriend that she is happy to be with, she is currently just enjoying her simple job while still always staying at home, excited to have her own family in the future. Meanwhile here I am, single, doing a lot of things, going to different places, meeting different people and enjoying a privilege to work in greater needs.

Man, it really amazes me more how that basically we didn't get what we said we hoped for, but are now on the way to achieving what the other person wanted to have. Funny thing is how we are doing it with our own separate lives. I'm happy for her and for me to be honest. I don't regret the decisions I've made to get where I am, and I know she doesn't too.

You can never really expect things to go exactly the way you want them to go. So yeah, be prepared, wag magsalita ng patiuna Sabi nga nila. It's also so nice to write about this in a way that before I go to sleep, I have a smile on my face.

Gwen, I hope nothing but the best for you and hope to catch up one day.

Meanwhile, Engr. Penguin, keep doing what you're doing and who knows, Tracey might be already at the train station towards Farhampton.

It's been a while...

It has been years since I've come back to writing/blogging. Some, and I mean 2-5 people, probably know me from my old account 'thesmilingspectator' as a half of the dynamic duo. With the former pen name of 'Carinderia', it just excites me to write useless articles about whatever happens. I have zero followers and hopefully no one read these things. Well without further adew, let the depressing posts start.
