Story (na naman na hindi matatapos): I will wait forever - chapter 5

I WILL WAIT FOREVER - CHAPTER 5 - Angel



Macy was saddened by the fact that Ryan and his childhood best friend, Justin, had a feud over a girl. As Ryan tells her the story, she could see how much he missed his friend. "If you were in Justin's shoe, would you forgive me?" he asked after telling his story. "Well..." she paused for a while, then began to explain her point of view. "Maybe I would, if you would explain to me
that you did that to protect me... but isn't it a little ironic that you never set Justin up with Denise because you think he doesn't deserve her, but at the same time you're still dating the girl he loves?"

Ryan stopped and looked at her. "You're right... I shouldn't have dated Denise at the first place... but I couldn't help it..." he said in a low voice. "She's popular, she's sexy, she easily gives in to
what I want. She doesn't even care if I date other girls behind her back..."
"Do you love her?"

Ryan couldn't answer Macy. He knew that if he said yes, he'll only be lying to himself. He never loved Denise.The truth is, he never met a girl who could make him fall in love.

Maybe the reason he had a lot of girlfriends is because he is longing for that feeling. All his life, he never felt love.Not even from his parents.

Sure, they shower him with material things, but they never gave him attention. His mom
is always working, or partying with her friends. His dad, on the other hand, spends most of his time doing business abroad.

He couldn't say that he loved Denise. He knew that he never loved Denise. He just loves the fact that he goes out with the most popular girl in school. That's all.

"I guess, I have to give you time to answer my question..." he heard Macy said. "But if you don't love her, you're just hurting her, yourself and Justin. Think about it. Are you really willing to risk years of friendship just for this girl?" After saying that, Macy left.

He knew that Macy's right. It was Justin who's always there for him. And how does he pay his best friend? By dating the girl he loves.
===================================================================


"Justin? Justin Rivera?" Rica said as she put her books inside her locker. Macy was asking if Rica knew Justin, since he saw him on one of her classes. "Well, yeah... I think he's my classmate in Psych. He's majoring in it." she answered. "Do you think I would be able to approach him?"

"Hmmm... what for?"

Macy paused for a while and thought of a good excuse. "I... I need help... with Psych..." she lied. Rica's eyes widened as she heard her answer. "You? Needed help in Psych? Good try at lying, Mace!" she said.

She knew that it was the lamest excuse that she could think of. Not only is she passing Psych 101, she'll be the ever first student who'll a get the highest grade from the professor every student feared of.


"You knew me too well..." Macy said. "I just know that you don't need help in your classes, you
just need help with your confidence. Maybe Justin can help you with that. He's also a member of the Peer Club." Rica replied. "Peer Club?"

"Yeah... you know... those kids who help other kids... Peer Club."

Finally, Macy thought of a good excuse to talk to Justin. Thanks to Rica's information.


===================================================================


The domicile of the Peer Club is located neat the Guidance Counselor's office. Macy decided to visit it that afternoon. Luckily, she saw Justin alone in their domicile.

"Hi..." she said shyly. Justin looked up at her and smiled. "Hey! How may I help you?" he said. Macy approached him, and sat on the seat in front of him. "I... Can I talk to you?" she said.
"Sure. How can I be of service to you?"
"I... I need your advice..."

Justin sat up straight and began to listen to her. "I have a new friend... and he has a childhood friend... his childhood friend is mad at him because of a girl..." she said. The story seemed familiar to him. He wanted to stop Macy from telling the story, but as a Peer Club member, he can't do that. "They never talked for months... and my new friend already misses his best bud..." she continued. "Did... did your friend tried to reach out for his childhood friend?" he asked. Macy nodded. "He tried, but the guy keeps on pushing him away... I want to be a bridge for them to patch things up..."

Justin stood up from his chair, and walked to the window. He remembered how hostile he was towards Ryan every time they see each other. He also remembered the sad look on his face the last time they met. Since the party, Ryan tried to talk to him to explain everything, but he just shuts him out.

"Things could never patch up between me and Ryan. He betrayed me..." he said. Macy stood up from her seat and went near Justin. "At least let him explain his side. Maybe there's another side of the story... Justin... please..."
"I'm sorry, Macy. I... I just can't... right now..."

Macy understood. She knows that it will take time for the pain to heal. She silently went out of the room, leaving Justin staring at the window.

====================================================================

Justin couldn't deny it - he misses hanging out with Ryan. They have been inseparable for years, and it was only Ryan that could understand him.

He remembered the time when his dad wouldn't allow him to take Psychology, it was Ryan who talked to his dad. "Who knows, he might be a famous Psychologist someday!" he remembered Ryan said to his dad.

It was also Ryan who comforted him when his first girlfriend broke up with him. Ryan was also there to comfort him when his mom died. There are a lot of good and bad memories that they shared. "And I just let this friendship ruined just because of a girl?" he thought.

As he stared on the window, he saw Macy walking with Ryan. "Maybe she's right..." he said to himself. "I should try to hear what Ryan have to say..."

He immediately took his things and left their club's domicile, hoping he could catch up with Ryan.

====================================================================

"It was a bad start... I shouldn't have dated her at the first place..." Ryan said as he and Macy walked towards the school's parking lot. Ryan had already broken up with Denise that afternoon. He already explained the reason why Ryan befriended Denise, and how his friendship with Justin got affected when she started flirting with him. Denise accepted their break-up, since she's also starting a serious relationship with another guy. "At least now, you can start rebuilding your friendship with Justin..." Macy said.

Just as they were about to get inside Ryan's car, Macy saw Justin standing behind him. "Someone wants to see you..." she said to Ryan. He looked behind, and he saw Justin. He immediately ran towards Justin. He couldn't let this moment pass, without explaining everything to his best friend.

===================================================================

"Your cute little friend talked to me this afternoon." Justin started. "She said that I should give you a chance to explain. Well, here I am, giving you this chance.

Ryan looked back at Macy, and he saw her smiled at him. He faced Justin, and began to explain his side. Justin listened to him. "She really doesn't deserve you... I did it so that you won't get hurt..." Ryan said. "But you still went out with her. If you think that I didn't deserve her, you should've told me that."
"It was a bad move. I should have told you that at the beginning, but I promised you this. I still went out with her because I loved the attention..."

Justin understood what he meant. After Ryan explained his side, he gave him a brotherly hug. "I'm sorry if I shut you out of my life... I shouldn't have let a girl ruin our friendship..." he said.
"Me too, man... I can't believe that I'm saying this, but I missed you..."

Finally, after months of not talking to each other, they are friends again. They even made their hand gesture, the one that they do when they make a pact. "You should thank Macy. She told me how much you missed me..."
"I know you can't stay mad at me forever!"

====================================================================

The three of them celebrated at a nearby restaurant. Ryan told Justin what happened to him during the time that they were not talking. He told him how he met Macy, and that he just broke up with Denise. Justin also told Ryan the things that happened to him these past months. He felt at peace now that he and Justin are friends again.

They decided to go home at around 9 PM. Ryan took Justin home first before taking Macy home. Just as they were alone, Ryan thank Macy. "I can't believe you'll do this for me..." he said. "You're my friend, remember?"
"I know but..."
"I don't want my friends to be sad. I know that you're really sorry for what had happened, that's why I talked to Justin." she said, interrupting what Ryan's about to say.

Ryan smiled at her. "First, you helped me with calculus, then you helped me patch things up with Justin. I can't thank you enough..." he said. "You're my angel..."
"Yes I am..." she thought. "I'll be your guardian angel..."
He slowly moved beside Macy, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Story (na naman na hindi matatapos): I will wait forever - chapter 4

I WILL WAIT FOREVER - CHAPTER 4 - Betrayal




Ryan was about to go to the soccer practice, when he saw a familiar face sitting on the bench. "Justin?" he shouted. The guy looked back at him, then he started to walk away from him. "Hey! Justin! Wait up!" he said as he ran towards him.

Justin stopped and faced him. He could see anger in his eyes. "What do you want?" he snapped. "Whoa... are you mad at me?"
"No, I'm not! How can I be mad to my childhood friend?" Justin said sarcastically. After saying that, Justin left him.

Ryan knew that Justin has all the right in the world to be mad at him. Not only did he left him hanging, he betrayed him by going out with the girl Justin loved. "I guess he can never forgive me..." Ryan thought.

Justin and Ryan knew each other since childhood. They were neighbors and schoolmates. They were inseparable, until their first year in college. Ryan became a member of the varsity team. He hangs out with the most popular kids in school, and dates the prettiest girls in their batch. After being a part of the team, he stopped hanging out with Justin. There would be time when Ryan would ignore him, especially if he's with his teammates. Justin tried to understand Ryan, and still remained friends with him.

It was their fourth month in the University, and for the past four months, it was the first time Ryan hanged out with Justin. "We should always do this, you know..." Justin said. Ryan smiled. He, too, missed his best friend. His teammates and new friends could never compare to Justin, because only Justin knows him inside out. "So, what's keeping you busy?" Ryan asked.
"Well, you know... school works... term papers... classes..."
"No girlfriends?"

"You know that I'm too shy to ask a girl out..."

"But, do you have any crushes here in the university?"


Just then, Denise passed in front of them. Justin's eyes followed her even though she's already far. Ryan noticed this. "I knew it..." he said. Justin smiled at Ryan. "She's the girl that you like, right?" Justin nodded. "I'm in love with her, Ry..." he said seriously. "I want to tell her how I feel, but I just don't know to approach her... she's the most popular girl in school, and I'm just an ordinary guy..." Justin continued.


Ryan put his arms around his shoulder, and gave him an assuring smile. "Let me make it up to you, pal."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll set you up with her..."


Justin was surprised at what he said. "Really? You'll do that for me?" Ryan nodded. "Yep! Just because you're my best bud in the whole world."

====================================================================

Ryan befriended Denise, hoping he could set up his best bud with this popular girl. The more he gets to know Denise, the more he realizes that his friend deserves someone better than her. From his point of view, Denise is not the girl that Justin perceives.

He knows that Denise flirts a lot, and just like him, she have a lot of boyfriends. Aside from that, she smokes and drinks a lot, and she uses drugs sometimes. Aside from that, Denise flirts with him. He didn't want to disappoint Justin, so he decided not to set him up with Denise.

Every time Justin asks Ryan about Denise, he tries to make excuses. He would tell him that he haven't talked to her nor see her. Justin knows that Ryan's lying, but since he trusts him, he just let it pass. He thought that Ryan's doing something to make him closer to Denise.

During their batch's acquaintance party, Justin saw Ryan and Denise together. The moment he saw Ryan alone, he confronted him. "What are you doing, man? I thought you're going to set me up with Denise?" he said.
"I know, but give me time to tell her about it..."

Justin held on to Ryan's promise, but he's getting a little impatient and jealous. He knows that Ryan will do everything for him. He even watched as Ryan and Denise danced on the ledge, but what surprised him is when Denise gave Ryan a passionate kiss. Upon seeing this scene, he left the party. He never thought that his best friend would betray him.

Ryan tried to explain everything to Justin, but he didn't hear him out. Instead, he shut Ryan out of his life, and acted as though he never knew him. Ryan knew how much he hurt his best friend, but there's nothing that he could do to make Justin trust him again...

====================================================================

"Ryan, are you OK?" Macy observed that Ryan's not with himself. He looked as though he is listening, but he's deep in his thought. Ryan looked at her apologetically. "I'm sorry, Macy..." he said.
"Maybe you need to rest. Let's continue tomorrow..."Macy was fixing her things when Ryan asked her a question. "What would you do if a friend betrayed you?" he asked. Macy was startled by his question. "Well... I don't know..."
"Are you going to forgive your friend if you explained everything?"
"As long as the explanation is valid, I will."

Silence.

"Is there something wrong, Ryan?" Macy finally said. Ryan, then, began to tell his story about him, and his best friend, Justin.

Story (na naman na hindi matatapos): I will wait forever - chapter 3

I WILL WAIT FOREVER -CHAPTER 3 - First Encounter


She felt like she's in heaven. She never thought that Ryan would offer his friendship. "God... am i dreaming?" Macy thought. Ever since the start of the classes at the University, Macy had a huge crush on Ryan. She even remembered their very first encounter...

It was during their freshmen orientation when she first saw Ryan. She was rushing to the Auditorium when somebody knocked her off. She fell on the floor, and her eyeglasses fell on the floor. Since there were a lot of students walking around, her eyeglasses got kicked around, and she had a hard time looking for it. "My eyeglasses! Where's my eyeglasses?!" she said to herself. She was already in a panic. Just then, she heard a voice behind her, and a hand gripped on her shoulder to help her stand up. Even though she doesn't have her glasses, she could see how the guy who helped her look like. "I bet this guy's cute. Wait till I get my glasses..." she thought. "Here you go... be careful next time..." the guy said as she handed her her glasses. She immediately took the glasses and wore it. She saw the guy who helped her smiling at her. "Be careful next time..." he said again. "Thanks..." she said shyly. She watched in awe as the guy walked away from the crowd. "My savior..." she thought. It was the beginning of the school year when she finally knew the name of the guy who helped her - it was Ryan.

Macy smiled as she reminisced how they first met. "I bet he doesn't remember that..." she thought. She also remembered the time that she fell from the stairs. She thought that Ryan would help her, but he saw him laughing with all the students that saw her accident.

She have always wanted to befriend Ryan, but since that incident, she decided that he was way to cool to be her friend. She had always thought that Ryan is different from the other "cool" students on school, but she found out that he's one of them.

Ever since the start of the second semester, Macy did not befriend anyone on the campus. Yes, she had friends during the start of the school year, but she realized that they only befriend her because they can get something from her. And behind her back, her so-called friends would laugh and sneer at her.

And now, she has just gained a new friend. She never thought that Ryan would consider her as his friend, even after their tutorials. It seems that her first year in college would have a happy ending after all.

====================================================================

Macy was getting her books from her locker when she saw a girl fell on the floor. She was carrying a lot of art materials, and the papers and brushes fell all over the place. "She's as clumsy as I am..." she thought. She immediately closed her locker door and rushed towards her. She helped her pick up the girl's things on the floor. "Clumsy me..." the girl said. "Don't worry, I'm clumsier than you!" Macy said.

The girl looked at her and smiled. As soon as the got all of her things, they stood up. "Thanks for helping me. By the way, I'm Rica." the girl said as she extends her hand to Macy. "I'm Macy."

Macy carried Rica's things as they walked through her locker. She found out that Rica owns the locker just next to her. "Isn't that great? We're almost like neighbors!" Rica said. "Yeah!" she replied. As soon as she's finished, Rica asked her to join her for a snack at the cafeteria.

"Are you always alone?" Rica asked as she sipped her drink. Macy looked up at her and smiled. "Most of the time, I'm alone..." Macy replied. "Why'd you ask?"
"Well... the truth is... I've been observing you since the start of our classes. You seem a little reserved..."

Macy still smiled at her. "I'm the class nerd. Most of the people laugh at me because I'm different. I do stupid and clumsy things sometimes... If I seem a little reserved, its because I want to protect myself, because I don't want people to laugh or sneer at me all the time..." This time, Macy felt tears wants to fall from her eyes.

Rica stood up and sat beside her. She can see the tears that's coming out of her eyes. "I can't say that I know how you feel because in reality, I don't..." she started. "But I understand what it felt to be an outcast. People considered me weird, and they do stay away from me. It's like I'm a plague... and that they have to stay away from me..."
"Why?"
"Because I didn't take a bath!" Rica said, smelling her armpit.

Macy laughed at what Rica said. "I thought you were serious!" she said between laughs. "It's about time that you laugh! You're so serious with life!" Rica answered.

The hang out the whole afternoon. They got to know more about each other. Macy learned that Rica was a Fine Arts student in the University, and like her, she's a loner. It was almost night time when they finally said goodbye to each other. "I'll see you tomorrow, Macy!" Rica shouted as she hopped on the bus.


====================================================================

Later that night, Rica called her. They where talking on the phone for almost 2 hours. It was almost midnight when they hung up. After a few minutes, as Macy got ready to sleep, the phone rang again. She answered the phone, thinking it was Rica again. "Hey Rica, I'm about to sleep..." she said. "Huh? Rica?" the guy on the other line said. It was Ryan. "Uh... sorry, I was talking to a friend two hours ago... I thought she was you..." she explained.
"That explains why I didn't see you today. I was about to ask you out for dinner, but I couldn't find you..."

Macy smiled as Ryan told her that he was looking for her. They talked on the phone for an hour, exchanging stories on how their day was. "Hey... I guess we better sleep or we'll be late for our classes tomorrow..." Macy finally said. She was already sleepy, but she stayed up late to talk to Ryan. "Yeah, I guess so. Hey... Let's hang out tomorrow, OK?"
"Sure... no prob!"

Just as she hangs the phone and lay down to sleep, she smiled. She would sleep like a baby tonight, and tomorrow, she'll see Ryan again...



To be continued...
life...
we always search for answers because we want to prove ourselves
that we had the right decisions,
but the truth is we can't search for what's not there.
things happen because they are meant to happen.
that's why we forgive people,
even if they hurt us, we love people who don't love us
and we smile despite every painful crash in our hearts.
at the end of the day,
the lesson you get are the answers to your decisions.

love is much like a tattoo.
you take the risk, face the pain
and yet place it in a special part of you.
and when the time comes that you need to erase it,
you have to endure again the pain
and realize that it will forever leave a scar.
a scar that will always remind you, that you once had a tattoo.
a tattoo that for sometime symbolized something so special.

the beauty of having too much to drink.
when people get drunk.
they tend to say things they normally take years to say.
some would even go over board and confess their heart's inner desire or secret.
but when the spirit of alcohol fizzles out and you become sober,
you revert back to the same old person wearing a mask or a cloak.
after the hang over, you realize how stupid you are.
but on what aspect?
for doing things while you were drunk
or for being true to yourself?

in love,
it's good to listen to friends advices and judgment for they fill in the
blindness we refuse to see.
it's good to decide when all ideas come in hand for it leads us to right decisions,
but you know what?
it's still best to listen, follow and decide with your own heart and judgment.
keep this mind...
the love of two individuals can only be felt by the heart that beats,
not the eyes of others...
so when loving,
learn to listen but decide on your own...
after all, you know what can make you happy...

some romances end for all kinds of reason.
but when all is said and done,
they have one thing in common:
they are shooting stars;
a spectacular moment of light in the heavens,
a fleeting glimpse of eternity,
and in a flash...
they are gone...

- nicholas sparks -


sometimes, i want to let the hands of the clock be stopped everytime i'm happy...
i wanna hide the hour glass just to make myself believe that moments would not end...
but i never did such,
for i realized,
there are also those who wanted the hands of the clock move...
for every strike of it would mean a little recovery from pains
for those who had bad memories in the past
and wishes that the hands of the clock will tick faster...

2 months na lang at start na ng 1st quartersem sa Mapua. For sure, siksikan na naman ang mga estudyante sa Mapua dahil sa mga freshies. For sure, mahaba na naman ang pila sa bookstore dahil sa mga estudyanteng nagpapalamig. For sure ubusan na naman ng bond paper, fillers at index card na pinapasa sa mga prof. For sure, ang haba na naman ng pila sa Treasurer's Office. For sure, MICRO na naman ang magcacashier. For sure, di na naman ako mag-eenrol this term.


Last year ko pa binabalak mag-aral. Actually, dapat ngayong 4th term ako babalik ng school. Kaso, ang problema, wala akong pera. Ubos palagi ang sweldo ko dahil sa tax, at sa mahal ng bilihin. 13 units na lang, pahihirapan ka pa ng mga kupal na prof. Lecheng diploma.

At kung bakit ko pinost yung mga description ng courses sa taas? Wala lang. Yan lang naman yung course na gusto ko lipatan.

Yes! Magshishift na ako ng course! Ayoko na talaga ng Computer Engineering! Wala na ang puso ko doon, dahil bukod sa walang kwenta ang mga prof, wala naman akong natututunang mahalaga at magagamit ko sa pang-araw araw.

Matagal ko na talagang gustong magshift ng course. Iniisip ko dating magshift sa Industrial Engineering, kasi parang wala naman silang prototype na ginagwa kada term, at di nila kailangang gumastos ng P40 k para sa isang chip na nagpapagalaw sa kamay ng robot, o mededetect kung may anghit ka. Ang ayoko rin sa course ko, ANG MAHAL NG PAGGAWA NG PROTOTYPE SA DESIGN 2. Leche! Bad trip na course.

"Macy! Macy! Wait up!" Macy, turned around, and she saw Ryan running towards her. "Hey! Why are you in a hurry?" Macy said, as soon as Ryan reached her. "I just want to ask if you're doing anything this afternoon?"
"Well... I'm not sure. Why?"
"Because I aced my calculus quiz!" Ryan said excitedly. Macy was surprised and happy about his news. "Really? That's great!" she said excitedly.
"Yes! Thank you for being my Math tutor . And since our tutorials paid off, I'll treat you for pizza today. And please don't say no..."

Macy felt excited when Ryan told her that they'll go out for pizza. "I must be dreaming..." she thought. She never thought that the campus heartthrob would treat her for pizza just because he aced his calculus quiz. "It could've been any girl..."

"So, it's a date OK? I'll meet you later at the study hall..."
"Sure. But, can you do me a favor?"
"Yeah, anything for my tutor..."
"Can we go somewhere that's far from school? Your girlfriends might kill me if they see us together..."
Ryan laughed at what she said. "I knew you'll say that. Don't worry, I'll explain to them that you're my math tutor and friend" he said.

Just then, Ryan's girlfriend came. "Hey sweetie..." she said as she kissed Ryan on the cheek. Macy somehow felt jealous when she saw that. "Hi sweetie. By the way, this is Macy, my math tutor. Macy, this is Denise, my girlfriend." His girlfriend extended her hands to Macy. "Hey! Nice meeting you." Denise said. "Same here..."

After a small talk with Macy, Denise left for her class. "It was nice meeting you, Macy..." Denise said before she left. Ryan and Macy stood and watched her as she walked away from them. "Isn't she the model on that soda commercial?" Macy said. "Yeah..."
"She's nice... you look good together..."
"They say I'm lucky to have her"
"Yes, you are..."

Ryan walked Macy to her next class. They were talking about Ryan's girlfriend, and they didn't realized that they're already in front of the room. "Well, I guess here's my stop." Macy said. "So, I'll see you later OK? Don't be late."
"Sure. Thanks!"

Macy watched as Ryan leaves. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Not only did the campus heartthrob walked her to her class, he's going to treat her for pizza later.

====================================================================

It was afternoon, and Ryan waited for Macy at the study hall. He owes Macy a lot. He knew that if it wasn't for Macy's help, he will be kicked out of the soccer team. "She's really serious with her studies... I wonder if she's dating anyone.." he thought.

He has been hearing about Macy since their first day in the University. It was Macy who got the full scholarship in their school, a privilege given only to the smartest freshmen. He also knew that Macy doesn't have much friends in the school. There was even a time when she fell from the stairs, and most of the students laughed at her. Nobody tried to help her, not even him. She was so ashamed, that she cried while she run away from the crowd. "And now, I'm seeking her help... I didn't even dared to help her before..." he said to himself.

He was deep in his thoughts when his mobile phone rang. It was Macy. "Hey, I've been waiting for you here at the study hall..." he said. "Yeah, I know... can you meet me here at the bus stop? I don't want anyone to see us..." Macy replied.

After they hung up the phone, he immediately took his things and went to the bus stop.

====================================================================

"Why don't you want anyone to see us together?" Ryan said as his took a bite from his pizza. "Well... because you're the celebrity, and I'm just an ordinary girl..."
Ryan smiled at her. "It really doesn't matter if I'm the celebrity. You're my friend..." he said. Macy looked up at him. She almost choked on what she was eating when he told her that she's his friend. "Friend? Me? Are you kidding? I'm just your tutor..." she said.

Ryan finished his pizza before he began explaining his side. "Well.. you are my friend. The day that you helped my with Math, I said to myself that you're going to be my friend.."
Macy let out a loud laugh that made Ryan startle. "What?" he said. "User friendly guy..." Macy said. "No, I'm not..." he said defensively.
"It is my duty as a member of the Math Org to help those who are helpless in Math. If I tutored 60 students, does that mean that they're my friends?"
"Of course..."
"I don't think so..."
"Why?"
"Because they don't know me after they passed Math. Thanks to me."

Ryan felt sorry for Macy. He knew that she needs someone to be her friend. "Don't you hang out with other guys, aside from the Math Org people?" he asked. "Well... none. I used to hang out with my high school friends, but they're too busy to even hang out with me..." Macy said as she ate her third pizza. "So, you're always alone?"
"No. There's always the Math Org."

There was silence between them as the finished the box of pizza. After he paid the bill, they started to head home. "Was it hard to be a loner?" Ryan finally said. "No. I'm always a loner. I'm used to it. " Macy said in a matter-of-factly way. Again, there was a short silence. "Macy... I want to be your friend..." Ryan finally said.

Macy was surprised at what he said. "Are you sure of what you're saying?" she said, still in a state of shock. "Yeah. It's not like I'm asking you to be my girlfriend for a week. I just want to be your friend. You know, someone I could hang out when..."
"When you need a tutor?" she said, concluding his statement. "Not just that... sometimes I feel that being a Big Man on the Campus is too much... I really enjoy hanging out with you. You're mature, funny, and smart..." he said.

Macy was so happy at his "proposal". She felt a giddy feeling that she never felt before. "It's not that he's asking me to go steady with him... just to be his friend..." she reminded herself silently.

"So... friends?" he said as he extends his hand to Macy. Macy simply smiled and took his hand. "Friends!"

Story (na naman na hindi matatapos): I will wait forever - chapter 1

****Revised Edition****


I WILL WAIT FOREVER - CHAPTER 1



Dear Ryan,

Being with you for the past 2 years had been a roller coaster ride. It was fun, yet full of pain. Pain, because you always took me for granted. Pain, because I'm always on the sidelines. Pain, because no matter how much I loved you, you can never love me back.

I try to hold back all the tears whenever I'm with you. But God knows, that I cry myself every night, hoping he'll hear my prayer - that someday, you'll realize my worth.

I'm giving up something that I knew I never had from the start - your love. I'm letting go of all the good and bad memories that we both had. But most of all, I'm letting you go.

I hope you will someday find the girl who will love you as much as I loved you, and I do hope that you will love her back...


Macy

Ryan crumpled the letter and threw it on his bed. He just came from school, when he saw the letter beside his bed, together with the pendant he gave Macy on her birthday. "She's gone..."

He regrets taking her for granted. She was the only person who cared for him, and loved him. She was always there for him, but he never appreciated her. Instead, he just used her to his advantage, denied her and left her. They even kept their relationship a secret, because he's afraid that he'll lose his reputation in school.

Macy will never come back in his life. He knew it. And he wished that he could've appreciated her more.

===================================================================


They were in their first year in college when Macy and Ryan met. Ryan was "The Big Man on Campus". He dated almost every girls on their batch, and half of the University's girl population. He had different girlfriends every week. For him, changing a girlfriend is as easy as changing his clothes.

Macy, on the other hand, is the "nerdy" one. She always tops her class, and a consistent Dean's lister. She's shy, and she only had a few friends on the University.

It is very unlikely for them to be a "couple" - Ryan's the social butterfly, while Macy's an outcast. Everyone looks up to Ryan, while most of the students laugh at Macy.

It was because of a failing grade why their paths crossed. Afraid of failing Calculus at getting kicked out of the Soccer Varsity Team, Ryan seeks the help of the Math Organization, where Macy's a member. The Math Organization offers free tutorials for the students, and Ryan took advantage of this. Macy was assigned to be his Math tutor.

"Isn't he the popular guy from the Varsity team?" It was during their weekly Org meetings when Macy learned that she'll be tutoring Ryan. "Yes. Lucky you, Macy" their president, Nathan, said. "I assigned you to Ryan because I know that he won't get distracted, and I know that you'll focus on the tutorials."

Macy didn't let it show, but she's happy that she was assigned to be Ryan's Math tutor. Since the first day she met Ryan, she already had a crush on him. She knows that she could never get to be his friend, because of his status, and because of all the girls around him. "Now, I could be closer to him..." she thought.

It was Saturday afternoon when she met Ryan for the tutorials. They met at one of the classrooms that the Math Organization uses for their meeting. "Hi, you must be Macy..." Ryan said as he entered the room. "Yeah... I'm Macy. And you're late for our meeting." Macy said sarcastically. "I'm sorry, we've just finished our soccer practice..." Ryan said apologetically, flashing his killer smile.

Ryan sat beside her. He was so close, that Macy could smell his aftershave. "He smells great..." she thought. Ryan looked at her, and smiled as he gave her his notebook. "Shall we start?"

Macy explained to Ryan his calculus lessons. Ryan eagerly listened to her as she explained the formulas used for a certain problem. There would be a time when Ryan's thought wanders, as he looks into her face. "I bet she looks pretty if she takes off her eyeglasses..."
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Macy said when he noticed that Ryan's attention is not with the lessons.
"Oh.. Ummm... I'm sorry, it's just that..."
"Don't you want to ace your calculus quiz?"
"Yeah... I do..."
"Then you better listen to this or I'll leave"

The Math tutorials ended at around 6 PM. Macy stood up and left the room when Ryan called her. "Hey, Macy!"

Macy looked back at him. He was running towards her, and by the time he reached her, he was catching his breath.
"Since the tutorials are free," he began. "Why don't I take you home."
Macy was excited. Imagine, the school heartthrob is going to take her home! She wanted to say yes, but she thought of all the girls in the campus that will not forgive her when they saw her riding his car.
"I'm sorry, Ryan, but my mom will pick me up..." she lied. After saying that, Macy walked away from him.

====================================================================

It was almost 9 PM and the rain just started to fall. Macy was waiting for the bus at the bus station for over an hour. "Damn this rain... I should've accepted Ryan's offer to drive me home..." she thought.

Just then, a red car stopped in front of her. The car's window rolled down, and she saw Ryan seating on the driver's seat. "It would take a long time for the rain to stop, and there's no bus. Come on, I'll drive you home." He said, smiling. This time, Macy did not hesitate. She wanted to go home and rest. She immediately opened the car's door, and hopped in.

"Thanks..." she said to Ryan. "No problem. If I pass the calculus quiz on Tuesday, I'll treat you for dinner. Promise." he said.

After an hour, they were able to reach Macy's home. "Thanks for the ride, Ryan..." she said came out of the car. Before she opened the gate, Ryan called her again. "Macy..."
"Yes?"
"Is it OK with you if you'll become my permanent tutor? I badly needed your help..."
Macy was ecstatic when she heard that. "Yeah, sure... no problem" she smiled. Again, Ryan flashed his killer smile. After thanking Macy, he left.

"This might be a beginning," Macy thought. "of a beautiful friendship..."

Dear Pie

Isa ako sa mga unang nakaalam na magiging nanay ka na. 18 ka lang nun, katatapos mo lang magdebut at kakasimula pa lang ng relasyon nyo ng noo'y bago mong boyfriend na tatay ng anak mo. Alam ko ang nararamdaman mo - takot, dahil magiging nanay ka na at dahil nakapabata mo pa para sa ganong responsibilidad, pangamba na baka hindi mo siya mapalaki ng maayos, at saya kasi may isang baging buhay na sumibol sa iyong sinapupunan.

Isa rin ako sa mga naging biktima mo. Anak talaga ng... sana di ko na lang kinain yung burger mcdo na may french fires sa loob dahil pag-uwi ko ng bahay, nagsusuka na ako at antukin na. Palagi kang nanggigil sa kin, kahit alam nating dalawa na napakacute ko talaga.

Madalas kitang pagtakpan sa nanay mo (at ipahamak na rin), dahil hindi ka umuuwi sa bahay nyo. Jontis ka kasi sa junakis mong pasaway... hehehehe...

Marami ka pang pagdadaanan sa pagiging ina. Isa lamang ang pagpasok ni Bubu sa school na masasabi nating "pahirap" sa buhay mo. Antayin mong maging teenager ang anak mo, at alam kong maiintindihan mo kung ano ang pinagdaanan ng mga nanay natin. Harinaway mabigyan mo ng magandang buhay at kunabukasan ang inaanak ko, at naway' hindi siya maging kasing pasaway mo...

Happy Mother's day tol! 2 months na lang at birthday na ni Bubu!

I am a villain that's...





Take the Villain quiz.

Care bear

See what Care Bear you are.

Let's get it on!

Coaching kahapon with TM Roxy. Yung chat session na namonitor nya sa kin, yun pa yung pinakahate kong topic sa lahat - yung POP3 issue na kung ilang araw ring nagpahirap sa komplikado ko nang buhay. Pero ok lang naman kasi 3.00 yung nakuha ko sa QM... Yebah!

The climax of the story is this...

TM: KC, are you interested to join the Agent Development Program?
Ako: {di na nagdalawang isp} YES BOSS!!!

Hehehehe... Actually, since niladlad ang tarpaulin tungkol sa ADP nung April, sobrang inabangan ko na sya. Hindi sya promotion. Kung baga, parang pag-aaralan mo lang yung certal leadership role tas may internship. Maraming track na pwedeng pagpilian. Yung pinili ko eh yung RTA track at MIS Analyst track. Ayokong maging QC kasi baka magkamali ako ng pagmonitor. Ayoko rin ng TM kasi baka maging kasing pasaway ko yung mga agents ko. Tingnan mo si TM Ivan dati... ayun pasaway kaming lahat, pasaway rin kasi eh.

Start na siya this May. Sa May 15, mauuna yung RTA track. Yihee.... excited na ako! Matapos ko lang to, magkakaron na talaga ako ng lakas ng loob na mag-apply for RTA position...

Dracula....

Ang kinababaliwan ko ngayon ay ito Ito ay and Dracula's riddle. Mahirap syang laruin pero masaya. Nasa level 9 na ako, at wala akong mahanap na sagot sa mga forums kung ano yung pangalan ng tagabantay ko. Haaayyy... sana hindi ako managinip ng nakakatakot na gaya ng nangyari sa kin nung naglalaro ako ng Diablo 2...

Election at si Kapitan

Palabas na ako kanina ng bahay ng biglang may kumatok na babae sa gate namin. Siya yung asawa ng kapitan sa baranggay namin. Yes! Yung kapitan na natutulog ng alas onse ng umaga, yung naningil ng P50 para sa baranggay sa clearance ko, yung ayaw kampihan yung pamilya namin kahit kami yung agrabyado, yung nagtanong sa kin kung pwede akong tumakbo sa SK bilang kagawad pero dinisqualify rin ako, yung kapitan na nagpailaw ng isang street sa baranggay namin.

Going back to the story, so yun nga, pumunta yung misis ni kapitan sa bahay. Binigay samin yung listahan ng kandidato at sample ballot. Nakakainis kasi yung sample ballot sa likod, sinulatan ng mga pangalan ng kandidatong ineendorso nila. Tapos yung booklet, nilagyan ng flyer nung mga kandidatong manok nila. As in nakakainis talaga.

Binuklat ko yung booklet ko... ampootah... wala man lang listahan ng Party list at Senador. Di ko tuloy alam kung wala sa listahan ng party list yung LADLAD (oo, iboboto ko sila ok?). Pero dun sa ibang booklet, meron.

Eto pa ang masaya. May Tea Party sa bahay nina kapitan. Sabay sakin ni misis "Kayong mga taga Langka, hindi kayo pumupunta sa Tea party!" Yeah, right... as if alam namin na meron silang tea party kasi nga hindi umaabot sa min yung imbitasyon.

Pero feeling ko, isang malaking kalokohan yung tea party na yun. Feeling ko, andun yung kandidatong kinaiinisan ko (siya yung kapatid ni "Rain" hulaan mo na lang). Siguro hihingi ng suporta. Siguro mamimigay ng pera. Uy... pera rin yun! Sayang may shift ako....

Actually, hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa alam kung sino ang iboboto ko. Next week na yung eleksyon, pero wala pa rin akong manok. Kung wala lang siguro akong pasok, siguro nagvolunteer na ako sa PPCRV bilang watcher (gaya nung 2001 elections) or sa NAMFREL. Sayang talaga.

Mabalik tayo dun sa iboboto, walang kakwenta kwenta kasi yung mga tumatakbo ngayon eh. Victor Wood, Richard Gomez at Cesar Montano for senator... san ka pa! Yung oposisyon at administrasyon, pare-pareho namang trapo. Ayoko kay Recto kasi siay yung nagpasa ng 12% na EVAT. Ayoko kay Singson kasi gambling lord, at yung kapatid nya yung dahilan kung bakit nademote yung kakilalala namin sa PCSO. Si Villar naman, magpapayaman lang naman. Si Flavier naman di na tatakbo. Bet ko pa naman sya.

Tama si Ex-Senator Jovito Salongga, Nung panahon nila, talino ang puhunan. Ngayon, popularidad na. Ang hirap talaga pumili ng iboboto!

After a long hiatus...

I'm back and ready to rock!!!

Apat na araw akong nagpahinga. Dalawang araw absent dahil mataas ang lagnat ko at meron akong Acute Tonsilpharyngitis. Oo, cute yung tonsils ko. Alam ko na yun matagal na...

At dahil nilalagnat ako, hindi ako nakasama sa Puerto Galera. Arrrgghhh... nakakainis talaga. Di rin ako nakapag OT nung Sunday at Monday dahil nanghihina pa ako at medyo sinisinat pa ako. Di bale, forever naman anjan ang Galera, pwedeng puntahan anytime....


P.S
wag nyo ako hanapan ng pasalubong or ng picture dahil hindi ako nakasama sa galera....

Identity crisis

Sino ba ako?
...
...
...
...
...
Yan ang tanong na palaging naglalaro sa isip ko. Sino ba ako? Ako ba ay ako? Ako ba ay siya? Ikaw ba ay ako?

Mahirap intindihin kung ano ka ba talaga. Isama mo na dito ang "molding years" mo, kung saan ay hinahanap ko kung ano ka ba talaga, at kung ano ang makakapagpakuntento sa yo. Ikaw ba ay ikaw, dahil yun ang pagkakakilala sa yo, o ikaw ba ay ikaw dahil ikaw talaga yun... ang gulo!

Bakit ko nga ba sinusulat ito? Kasi nalilito ako... Para mas magulo... eto ang kwento...

Sa pagkakaalam ko, ang pangalan ko ay Kristina Angeles. Sa pagkakaalam ko rin, ganyan ang spelling nyan at tama yan. At sa pagkakaalam ko rin, anak ako ng nanay ko.

Nung nagtrabaho ako, nagkaron ako ng "The Master" na nalilito sa pangalan ko. Lahat ng pangalang nagsisimula sa letter K, naitawag na nya sa kin. Katherine, Karen, Karla, Kristianne, Kristel, at kung ano ano pa. Simple lang naman kasi banggitin ang real name ko at ang nick name ko. Kristina. K-R-I-S-T-I-N-A. KC. K-C. Di ba? Hindi naman mahirap bigkasin????

May mga customer pa ako na ganito:
Ako: Welcome to the ---- ----, My name is KC. How may I help you today?
Customer: What's your name again?
Ako: It's KC, sir.
Customer: Stacy?
Ako: No sir. It's KC.
Customer: OK, Tracy. Here's my problem....

Anak ng... KC ang pangalan ko. Although karhyme sya ng Stacy, Tracy, Macy, Lacy, Hazy achuchuchuchu... pero KC ang pangalan ko!

Meron pa ngang customer na ganito:
Customer: So how do you spell your name?
Ako: Just the letters K and C, ma'am.
Customer: I see. I thought it's spelled as Casey.

OK rin, cute naman eh.

Eto, matindi. Nung nag-aaral naman ako, ang spelling ng pangalan ko, naging Christina instead of Kristina. Haaayyy, addict na mga teacher. Meron pa. Noong 4th year high school naman ako, 3 kaming Kristina/Cristina sa classroom. Tapos, sunod sunod pa kami. Hehehehe.

Dito naman sa work ko, May kapangalan ako. As in kapangalan. As in pati apelido, magkapareho kami. Nung nagresign ako, na NCNS sya. Nung nagfile sya ng leave, ako ang nakakuha ng leave nya. Pati sa CSAT, minsan ako nakakuha ng CSAT nya, samantalang nasa chat support na ako. Kaya kapag tumatawag ako sa RTA, sinsabi ko - "I'm Kristina Angeles. With the letter K" Laugh trip!

Eto... andito na tayo sa climax ng story ko... kanina kinuha ko yung Medicard ng nanay ko. Ang nakalagay dun sa Medicard, Kristine Angeles. Yung dependent nya eh si Ma. Teresa Angeles... hmmm... pangalan ng nanay ko yun ah! Nalito tuloy ako kung ako ba yun o hindi. Nanay ko ba yun? Ako ba yun?

Labor day

Noong bata ako, akala ko ang labor day eh araw ng mga buntis. Di ko alam, para pala sa manggagawa yun.

Noong nagcollege ako, naappreciate ko ang labor day kasi walang pasok... hehehe... mas naappreciate ko siya ngayong nagtatrabaho na ako dahil kahit bakasyon, may kita ako. Yahoooo!!! Off ko pa man din ngayon!

Pero mas maappreciate ko kung tataasan ang sweldo ko. Sabi sa news, may non-wage benefits daw na iaannounce si Madam ABS... este ABC... este GMA (bakit kasi initials nya eh pang TV station...). Sana kasama sa non-wage benefits na yun eh yung pagbaba ng presyo ng bilihin at pamasahe at pagbaba ng tax. Pero asa pa ako.

Sana rin, bigyan nya ng magandang benefits at privileges kaming mga Call Center Agents, dahil bukod sa mga OFW, kami rin ang nagpapasok ng dollars sa Pilipinas

Happy Labor day sa mga manganganal na!

Worst customer service

May nabasa akong article mula sa www.msn.com tungkol sa mga companies na masama ang customer service. Kung gusto mo basahin, punta ka dito sa site na ito: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/Advice/TheCustomerServiceHallOfShame.aspx

According sa article na yan, ito ang mga companies na may masamang customer service:
  1. Sprint Nextel
  2. Bank of America
  3. Comcast
  4. Time Warner Cable
  5. AT&T
  6. Citibank
  7. Wal-Mart
  8. Verizon
  9. Wells fargo
  10. DirecTV

Honorable mention naman ang

  • Dell
  • Circuit City
  • Best Buy
  • Home Depot
  • Sears
  • Macy's

Ano ngayon ang epekto nyan sa tin? Di mo ba napapansing most of them eh accounts sa mga call center? Me thinks... mga pinoy kaya yung may dahilan kung bakit nalagay sila sa listahan ng worst customer service? It only means na kailangan pa nating pagbutihin ang customer service skills natin.

May reaction pala ako sa Verizon: kasi naman, kung di kayo nagrerefer sa MSN sana maganda CDAT nyo... hehehe... peace! Tulungan na lang...

Kung AKO ang boboto sa worst customer service dito sa pinas, kung phone inquiry lang... I vote for Globe Telecoms. Pano naman kasi, ang taaaaaaaaaggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll nyo iprocess yung refund ko ng P300 kailangan pa talagang umabot ng 2 buwan? Ha??

Yun lang muna...



Bad day at work...

Parang ang malas malas ko naman ata today? Kasi naman parang puro palpak yung mga pinaggagagawa ko sa mga sessions ko. Una, nagkaron ng error sa tools namin kaya ang aming ticket na nagawa (kamusta naman ang CSAT/DSAT ko nyan!). Tapos, nagkamali ako ng path dun sa isa. Inabot naman ng isang oras yung isa, although clear yung issue, di naman masyadong sigurado kung tama pinaggawa ko. Tapos puro multiple session pa. Haaay buhay....
