Blogger’s Block Part Deux

This always happens to me. The moment I log on to my blogsite, I can’t think of anything to write. But before I log on to my computer, I have a million things to write about. I call this blogger’s block. I seem to be experiencing this frequently.

Tossing and Turning

I am crushed. I couldn’t sleep today. I just found out that the guy I liked already has a girlfriend or he’s interested in someone else. I tossed and turned in bed. I kept thinking about how stupid I am for allowing myself to feel this way.

I knew that there was a possibility that I would end up getting hurt. I was right. I wished I listened to my intuition. Oh well. It’s too late now.

Jaded

Alone Time

I was concerened with my irregular menstruation so I decided to go to the doctor. I waited for thirty minutes in the clinic but the doctor never came. I had to reschedule my doctor’s appointment for next week.

My lunch date had told me that she was going to be late for lunch. I decided to visit the chapel and pray. After that I visited the nearest mall.

I was not planning on buying a book. I just wanted to stroll around the mall by myself. Every now and then, I’d like to get a little Alone Time. I

I Miss Blogging

I’ve been remiss on my blogging duties. I can’t exactly be blamed. We have no internet connection at home for almost a week now.

I miss blogging. I miss the idea that I can express my emotions and my thoughts through writing. Blogging is cathartic for me. It makes me feel better.

I’m going to time stamp this blog and set this on an earlier date to make up for the blank entries.

A Perfect Thursday Lunch

 

I went to my doctor last Thursday for my monthly check up. My hormones were out of control. The doctor suggested that I stop medication.

I was not happy about this little bit of news. I thought that I’d be cured. But the medicine hasn’t worked. On the contrary, I got an adverse reaction to the medicine.

I emerged from the clinic feeling a little depressed. I decided to drop by the clinic where I used to work. My former colleagues were happy to see me.

My colleagues were planning on having pizza for lunch. They invited me to join them. I waited for an hour for them to be ready. 

There were eight of us and four of us bought cars. Each car had two passengers each. We drove a few blocks to the new pizza place.

There were two faces in the group that I didn’t recognize. But even if I’ve never met them before, I instantly clicked with them. They were friendly enough and they didn’t make me feel uncomfortable.

One of us served as the leader. She ordered a little bit of everything. For our appetizers she ordered fries and nachos with salsa dip. Then she ordered two types of pasta: marinara and carbonara. For our main meal she ordered two large pizzas. Needless to say we were very full.

While eating, we laughed and chatted. One group member in particular was very funny. He was the group clown. I found myself laughing and joining in the conversation. I was so comfortable with them. In contrast, I spent that very evening with my highschool chums feeling out of place and displaced.

After the wonderful lunch with the group, we decided to buy ice cream. We headed to the nearest mall. We ordered sundaes. We were laughing and chatting while we ate our dessert.

When it was time to go, I felt a little sad. I finally found a group where I could really be myself. I’ve always felt like such an oddball in parties and reunions. But in this particular group, I felt like I belong. It truly is a first for me.

Roller Coaster Love

 

I thought he would be excited to hear from me. I was very much mistaken. My EX sounded bored when he talked to me. In fact, he scheduled our ‘meeting’ two weeks from now. He was more interested in cooking his stupid pancakes at four o’clock in the afternoon. Who has pancakes in the afternoons?

 I never expected that he’d be rude to me. The last conversation we had, he told me that he wanted me back. But this afternoon, he sounded disinterested in me. I’m more confused than ever. I guess we’re not getting back together.

This is probably a good thing. Just when I miss him, he doesn’t miss me. This is good because it means that I won’t make another colossal mistake. Three years ago, we broke up. But when I gave in and met him, we got back together only to break up again. Our relationship is like a roller coaster ride. I’m tired of it. And I just don’t want to ride it ever again.

 But the thing is, I’m only human. I’ve been watching romantic movies and I started missing him. I know I shouldn’t have watched those stupid films but I was drawn to those stupid films like a moth to a flame. I just can’t help watching those feel good movies. Similarly, I can’t help but miss my boyfriend. My EX boyfriend that is.

It’s a good thing that I’ll be meeting him two weeks from now. I’ll be more mentally prepared then. I won’t be as vulnerable. I’ll start watching hate films or films with couples killing each other. Which reminds me, I should get a copy of the movie, ” War Of The Roses.” That movie is perfect for couples who are planning on murdering each other.

Less Stuffy

 

Yes! I finally cleared out my trunk. I’ve been carrying books and other junk in my car for almost three years now. I’ve finally had enough. I decided to get rid of the boxes and the other garbage. I even found a months old soup in my trunk. I think it’s been in my trunk for almost a year. I had that soup when I was still doing my soup diet. Needless to say, just like all my diets, that soup diet failed.

I found pencils, ballpens, books, post-its, sticky paper, lotions, toothbrush, colognes and other junk in my car’s trunk. I got rid of all of them. I even had a diet pill which I never used. I discovered a nice necklace which I bought in Europe last year. If I didn’t go through my junk, I would never have found it.

Somehow, ridding my car of garbage is cathartic. It’s very therapeutic for me. I remember when I cleaned my room a month ago, I started noticing a change in my mood. Then nice things started happening to me. I found a part-time job which I enjoy. And I found a new crush which on occasion, I also enjoy.

I think I’m ready for a change. I love the idea that I’m ridding my life of unnecessary things. I love the idea of having a car and a room that is less stuffy.

Unraveling

 

I just know that I’m going to come back crawling to him. I just know it. I can’t help it. My EX boyfriend is like a drug. He makes me feel good, initially, but after the effect wears off, I feel bad afterwards. But I just can’t help myself. I’m so lonely and unhappy nowadays. I need to feel loved again. And he was the only guy who ever made me feel special.

 My EX was the first guy I ever dated. It was a mistake to go out with him. But I didn’t listen to reason. I went out with him. And I continued to go out with him even if it no longer felt right to be with him. And so, I stayed with him for almost ten years even if 3/4ths of those ten years felt like hell. But that’s love. You ride the wave. If you fall down, you die.

I know I shouldn’t have watched two romantic movies last night. I just started feeling lonely and unhappy again. I just want to feel loved again. I want to feel special. And I know exactly who to call to make myself feel good about myself.

I miss my EX. I miss his scent. I miss his hair. I miss his skin. I miss his lips. I miss his hands. I miss the way he would look at me. I miss the times he would tell me how beautiful I looked or how great I looked. I miss the way he touched my hand. I miss the tiny kisses he made on my shoulder. I missed his wet kisses on my forehead.

 I’m trying to control myself. It’s a bad idea to come back to him. I know he loves me. I know I love him. But our love is complicated. I know he’s not the one. I know that I’m only going to go back because I’m lonely. I’ve hurt him so many times. He’s hurt me so many times. If I go back to him, we’ll end up scarred for life.

We tried to make the relationship work but it never worked. It has never felt right. It will never feel right. It’s a mistake for me to see him again but I know I just have to. I just miss him so much.

Yeah, Right!

 

I’m watching ” My Big Fat Greek Wedding ” tonight. It’s another romantic film. I know I should stay away from this type of garbage. Romantic films are not good for my mental health. Because of romantic flicks and fairy tales, I’ve been brainwashed into believing that there’s a guy out there for me.

There’s no Mr. Right. Mr. Right is a myth created by stupid romantic people who believe in fairy tales.

Excuse me while I finish my movie.
