Last Post on Exes [promise]

Whoever said the world is small must be thinking of Banilad Town Center.

My teammates and I were out for pizza and smoking outside Yellow Cab Thursday night when I saw Eman, my friend Jill’s ex-boyfriend. They had a bad breakup [note: understatement] so I spared him the awkwardness of running into me by hurriedly putting off my cigarette and was about to run inside the restaurant when,

E: “Tin!”

Oh, shit. Xet. Siyet.

T: “Oh, hhhii.” I said after turning around and he was suddenly infrannnamee!

E:“Musta? Heard from Jill lately?” That please-tell-me-more-I’ll-buy-you-coffee look. Pained. Iskeri.

I shook my head. “No, sorry. I h-have to go.”

*beso*

My worst fears came to fruition: seeing friend’s exes and getting all awkward that bordered on panicky. There is always that hide and seek challenge where someone attempts to steer clear of the other and still end bumping each other. The hitch was not knowing what to react and not knowing what to say because you’d end up thinking you could just have had shut your mouth. You sometimes cannot even think of a suitable topic to talk about because your friend might be the only thing you both have in common. Whenever I see my friends’ exes all the time, none of them ever walked away and not ask me how they were. I guess that means I’m the one playing the hiding game. [Yes, the Babyface and the What If song echoing] Come on, these guys were great. Cute. Fun. Smart and very nice. They could have ended up together. But because… tsk tsk. These exes should be shipped to another island where they all co-habit together and not bother the has beens anymore.

That same night at BTC, as if it couldn’t get any worse, I saw D’s friend Jan, the huge football player who also helped with my ‘K’. He saw me and played my hiding game. *Snicker*.

So my turn to go, “Jan!”

…and his turn to smile sheepishly and say, “Hey.”

T: “Who’re you with?”

J: “Um, D.”

Xet. Wrong question. Bad answer.

T: “Okay, see you around.”

[Not singing Reunited anytime soon.. haha] Nothing is going to forklift anyone out of that situation. And there’s this thing about my exes’ friends that I’d love to keep being friends with. Because we were so close we didn’t find the need to invite my exboyfriend whenever we hung out. Can we keep those friends?

Your exes, your friends’ exes, your exes’ friends. Ismol world.

[not singing anymore.. ]

Oh wait. I take that back. Ship all my boyfriend’s exes to another planet. Just them :evilgrin: I got this from Helga on Ex-girlfriends. Building Planet X soon.

I HEART CEBU.

Macau-based Maryheart Winstanley, a friend of mine in CDO, has just landed in Cebu last weekend and totally ruined my restday. Hahah. Exaggeration. Kung pwede lang, she’ll be here everytime its MY restday. Ay naku. Si Heart, ang babeng walang pahinga. 

Last Friday, we had dinner at Case Verde with Mitz and Jv then the next day we were at Banilad Town Centre for Gonuts and coffee where O and Cat followed. Dinner was at STK for grilled food and ugh. Me suy busog. Heart can’t get enough of Filipino food. Me, I can’t get enough eating. And partying. The girls were at Outpost to chill, Vudu to pa-cute with Victor Neri and Pump to get some action. That action was carefully laden out down to pat.  

… I found PhilAm hot guy from New Jersey who wanted to hang out with me but I can’t just ditch the girls so he went with us. I kidded that we’d take him somewhere where I’m pretty sure at some point he had fantasized about it. Weellll, I decided to keep him. Hahah. Thank God for EWR.  

Heart’s last day in Cebu before she heads out to Cagayan was spent at Abuhan for sizzling pochero where at some point we had sizzling hot dates who turn out to be varsity players at some college here. Tall guys who hardly manages to string a few words into a sentence. Tsk. Athletes.  

Some random leçon for this weekend: 

….a tattoo of your mom’s face on your chest is not hot. It’ll be like doing it with your mom between you
.…OUTPOST is not ear-friendly. Their walls are not soundproof so if anyone laughs like a hyena, its going to ring into your ears for a good ten minutes.
…its raining leggings in all boutique and dept. stores but Cagayan de Oro hasn’t seen one yet.
…Bo’s Coffee should give out Frequent Espresso Drinkers cardholders cause its pretty much annoying to be asked “have you tried our con panna, ma’am?” everytime you request for it. Their con panna is not even that biter, I’ve had bitter espressos.
…no one should be alone whenever thunder strikes. You should have somebody to cower with.
…Its great to not drive in Cebu. Think of all the time spent looking for a parking space.
…which reminds me of the snogging scene of two gay guys in the parking lot of Vudu. Hot. Haha.
…Café Teatro is Corso Guerlani’s cry for help.
….athletes should stay in their own side of the courts. Or learn communication. 

Outpost, 12am.
