it might not be all that bad

i have a boyfriend i hardly talk to. but that’s ok. maybe we’re just both digesting it. i don’t think i like him as much as i’m supposed to but sometimes i feel like i’m obliged to like him and care for him because he’s my boyfriend and only that. i constantly hear him say that he doesn’t care. “I don’t care whatever you do babe as long as you don’t cheat on me.” so i don’t know if i like it or if i don’t but the point is, i don’t want him to not care completely. i would appreciate it if i got a where are you once in a while or a what are you planning to do.

i know i never should’ve rushed into this relationship. issa, you NEVER learn.

oh but i’ll try…

i wish that there was a way that i could keep you from making the same mistakes that i’ve been making over and over again.

i wish that there were lines i could use or things i could do to explain to you how hard life is and how i wish you never ever have to go through the things us people have to go through to truly know what life is.

i wish there was something i could do to make your life seem as if it were served on a silver platter and how i wish that your life would just fall into place where you would just be happy.

but we both know that’s not going to happen.

i hope you learn to love unconditionally without doubt and without asking for anything in return. I hope that the first time you get your heartbroken you’ll learn that most of our hurts come from relationships but most of the time, it’s the only way it can get healed. along with this lesson, i wish you’d choose to not let that be your only healing factor. May you find it in you to heal the pain that often times takes forever to patch.

Life is going to be hard for you, no doubt. but i want you to be strong. I’m writing you this letter at 18 years old basically because i’m bored and it’s interesting. And if you ever run into this in the future, i just wanna tell you that if you think you’re a screw up, well, i am too and it’s ok to make mistakes because that’s the only way we learn.

i love you. and i’ve been thinking about you even before you were born or made. i’ve dreamt of you and how beautiful i’ll make life for you. I’m sorry if i’m a bad mother. and i bet i will be.

xoxo

hurry up and save me

i’m in the office right now sitting in the dark so that if my tears’ll fall, nobody’ll be able to see them. my chest is beating so hard that i think i’m having a hard time breathing and i wish there was someone to talk to, someone who wouldn’t judge me or think that i’m over analyzing things or that i’m foolish and stupid because i know i am but i want to be able to do all these things. for me, at least.

it just occured to me how soon June 25 is coming up. and pretty soon i’ll be face to face with my sister. A sister i’ve had for 9 years and never met. A sister whom i know absolutely about. Someone who will leave like everybody else. what if i grow on her and she leaves? i’m tired of everybody leaving.

After that my dad’ll show up and i don’t know how i feel about this. i’m so scared. there’s so much pressure right now. I’m scared that my hate for him will go away. Sometimes i feel like if i love this stranger, i’ll love my papa less or worse, i’ll end up hurting him. and he amongst everyone doesn’t deserve that. i don’t wanna be the one to hurt him but i know i will because i want to love my dad but nobody can know that because i’m supposed to hate him. he’s hurt me so much and i’m so stupid for even letting the thought of him being a part of my life even enter my mind.

i don’t know what to do anymore. i know that in the next few weeks, my life is going to change completely and i’m not ready for that. I’ve been anticipating this moment for the longest time and it’s finally happening. it’s like a dream come true and a nightmare all wrapped into one. I’m so scared and there’s noone to talk to.

what if he comes and we fight like we always do? what if he comes and i’ll like him so much and my mom will get hurt?either way i’m hurting someone.

i wish i was never born into this situation because it’s too much for me to handle right now.

help me. i’m freaking out.

I won’t miss the sunshine when it’s gone..


i want this dress so bad right now. and it costs P 1,100.00. i could actually afford it right now but i figured that i’d rather not spend my money on stuff like that now cuz i’ll be leaving for boracay in a few months and it’d be better if i had money for the trip considering the fact that i’ll be going with my fucking thrift chink Chua family. ugh.

and yeah, i realized that June 25 is coming up soon and that means i’ll be meeting my half sister for the first time. I wish i was prepared. but emotionally, i’m not. idk what to do with her, really. if i should treat her the way i treat Casey which is horrible or if i should give her special treatment cuz i won’t be seeing her pretty much after this. stumped here. help.

anyways, i went to the gym today. Mike, the new boyfriend was there, too. and it was so cute because when i was on the threadmill, he got on it too and kissed my head. i swear i got butterflies and goosebumps. šŸ™‚

and it’s really awkward being in a relationship now too because i basically don’t know how to be in one anymore. like, i’m scared to do one thing or another because it’s too early in the relationship and it’s just weird. i mean, sometimes i forget i’m even in a relationship cuz it was all so freakin sudden. do i wish i would’ve taken it slower? yeah, i do. but it’s happening now so i might as well roll with the punches, right? i just do hope this works out though. i mean, his life is so hectic and i have no idea where he’s going to insert me into his life. and plus when school starts it’ll be bloody murder so idk where i’m going to insert him in mine either. Especially with the fact that this is supposed to be “secret” relationship. for more than one reason.

but honestly, i don’t mind people knowing about us. i mean, afterall i AM happy. but the thing is, i like the fact that my parents don’t know sqat cuz if they do, i wouldn’t be able to hang out with him as much as i get to now. hiding it from my parents gives me the priviledge of crashing his place any time i want to and not having my parents wonder where i am all the time cuz they’d be scared i’d be with him, you know?

oh i just hope i don’t make the same mistakes i did before or i hope i don’t do the mistakes james did to me before. i don’t want this to be an “easy come, easy go” thing either cuz it’s a relationship for crying out loud. and most of all, i hope i won’t be unable to do all the things i got to do while i did while i was single. except for SOME things ;]  i mean, this relationship again has been such a whirlwind and i hope we both get to transition into it properly. in our own times.

i’m so bad at being a girlfriend to mike though. i actually feel sorry for my lack of abilities to portray emotions.but yeah, this is me. i guess someone’ll have to deal. but what i lack he pretty much makes up for. the sweetness, the charm, the body. omg, he has the best body ever. and he’s still working on his abs. oh la la.

ok i’ll stop before this gets gross

hollah

sunrises and sunsets

I think I noticed when things started to change. The hugs were quicker, the phone calls were shorter and weren’t every night. We didn’t hurry to the place we said we’d meet. The I love you’s felt more like a forced, daily routine, and really had no meaning. When we saw each other, the smiles weren’t as bright, or as big. Our thoughts weren’t only of each other. We seemed uninterested, we felt unloved. We had too many doubts. I think I noticed when things started to change.

hey, i just came from the beach with my family. it was pretty damn awesome, too! we drove til the tip of the city because we felt like it and ended up shacking up at some random resort. during meals we’d walk to the public beaches and run into a bunch of people. Some of my friends were there and it was nice to see them and it made me happy that i was with my family cuz i know that i’m the only one in our whole group who actually does stuff like that with them šŸ™‚

i’ll upload pictures so you guys can see what i’m talking about. hehe.

anyways, i’d blog about everything that is awesome in my life but i really can’t see right now cuz my astigmatism has gotten really bad lately so i’ll proli have to start blogging when i get my contacts na. sorry guys šŸ™‚ maybe i’ll just make videos instead. lol. btw,i’m actually planning to do that. HAHA.

crazy, lazy, sober Thursday

i’ll learn it anyway i want. I might not learn it right away or the right way but at least the point is, i’m learning something.

i told you that i heard that you only wanted to get me in bed but i still jumped in because i wanted to prove they were wrong. you told me you didn’t believe in what other people say because the only thing that mattered was yours. i thought you meant it but i guess the reality was, we got everything mixed up. I don’t believe that easily- you do. and now, i’m never going to know what it’s like to be with you.

switching pc’s hold on

shut up and put your money where your mouth is

as i was walking home from the gym this evening, i ended up thinking about you again. and i ended up remembering the night of my party and how we danced to daughters by john mayer instead of you are always on my mind by micheal buble which was the song you had dedicated to me on my birthday. Do you know the lyrics of that song we danced to? It goes something like this…

“So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
….
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she’s left
Cleaning up the mess he made”


now, i’m not John Mayer but i think that the last 3 lines that i’ve mentioned here are about what her dad leaving her has done to her. But i’d also like to twist the story and think that this is about you and what you’ve done to me after you left and just .. everything.

i remember that night clearly and how i knew that i wasn’t in love with you anymore. I remember listening to you talk about how i was always on your mind and how i knew that you were a sweet talker and how no matter what you said, it would never compensate for everything you’ve done to me. And i remember how i knew that THAT night was something i would regret and something that i would not want to look back on because i knew that i would look back on that night 20 years from now and you would no longer be in the picture.

i turned 18 and said to myself that this age would be good to me. I told myself that i was going to remember being 18 and that i was going to remember being in the best age i could probably ever be in. 18- it’s where i’m too young to do stuff but old enough to do others. I remember watching 2008 leave and saying to myself that i was finally going to leave you despite missing you for so long. I remember welcoming 2009 and telling myself that i wouldn’t make the same mistakes i did in 2008 and that this year would be better.

but it’s not. and it’s not even because of you. Because i don’t think that i could allow myself to let someone like you hurt me so much. and that’s why it was so easy to let you go.

and it’s been like 5 months already. wow. and i’m sitting here feeling like i’m making the same mistakes again but with different people. I feel like i like him but he’s not that guy who’ll drop everything for me. I feel like he’s not that guy i’d go out of my way for simply because i know i’m not that girl to him either. I know that we are no good for each other but i just can’t find myself to leave you simply because i’m hoping you’ll change your mind.

People warned me about you but listening was never one of my best features. Honestly, it’s not even a feature of mine. so i got on board anyways just because i like the thrill of the chase and i wanted to know if it was true. i wanted to know if you would just hurt me. i wanted to know if i was just a game to you. and i’m think that maybe they were right.

i knew that when you came, you’d eventually leave because that’s what people around here like to do. LEAVE. every time. but i was hoping that you’d find a reason to fall in love with me and then everything would just work out. but i’m sitting here now and realizing that that’s not going to happen. so maybe i’ll leave you or wait til you leave me. i don’t know. i am just living in every moment of my life and hoping that you’d be a part of it. or it doesn’t have to be you. just someone who will take all of this pain away. because i’m full of it.

Rainy Saturday. I don’t miss you.

i’ve been spending the whole afternoon on the computer and i swear to god, if i don’t get out of this house i will kill someone. or i will kill myself.

i guess all this free time is just making me realize a lot of things like how i bore easily and how i’m bored with (i won’t say who) and i’ll proli just wait for everything to die out if nothing interesting comes from this whateveryouwanttocallit.

i, jean louise perez, do solemnly swear to no longer date. unless … NOTHING!

Why I Can’t Let You Go…

 

i say this with all modesty.. this is one hell of a gay blog :))

you know that feeling you get when the world stops and for a split second, you just don’t care? Ever had that sensation where the whole world could be dying but the only thing that matters is you and that moment?
i used to get that feeling with him before but after a while, his name just didn’t make me smile anymore and those feelings that i felt so strongly for him just disappeared.
well, i’ve found that feeling again and it’s not with a boy or alcohol or candy. it’s when i’m on the court and playing a good game. it’s when i make all the good moves after not playing for a year and congratulating myself by saying, “You’ve still got it in you.”
It’s that feeling i get when i feel invincible and that there is nothing anyone can say or do to ruin anything for me.
It’s this high inside of me and it feels like i’m suddenly controlling my life and i can do anything.
and quite frankly, i love it.
i don’t know why i stopped playing but i am again and it’s just been great for me.

except for one tiny thing. i have to commute. 😦

ok so gay post over.
