Hi andy! Just checking on you
Were you able to go home?

Andy
Yes, nakauwi na

Raymund
Okay, that's nice to know!
Sorry for leaving you behind last night, may meeting lang talaga kaninang umaga. Thank you rin for coming along

Andy
It's okay
No worries

Raymund
Are you available next time?
May nakita kasi akong falls around pagudpud. I may visit with my cousin, just asking if you also want to tag along

Andy
I'd have to pass pero thank you for the invite

Raymund
Next time then?

Andy
Can't promise 😅
Intensive na rin kasi magiging review ko sa bar because 2 more weeks left until the exam. I just allow myself to relax sometimes, draining na rin kasi. Also, even if I'm free I don't think I can

Raymund
Oh... can I ask why?

Andy
Nothing. I just don't feel like it.

Raymund
May problem ba?
Did I make you uncomfortable?

Andy
No naman
It's just I don't want problems muna with Klein not until we sort things out between us. It's not something you did

Raymund
Promise?
Did you tell him we're just hanging out as friends? I did not intend to win you back if may implication na ganun. Also, sorry sana pala nagtanong din ako na if he wants to come along, he could. Actually, the more the merrier. Gusto ko lang talaga ng kasama pumasyal kasi I don't have anyone else to ask, they're all busy. Shot in the dark lang din yung iyo because I know you're also reviewing

Andy
It's fine. We talked about it and sinabi ko rin sa kanya na we're just friends. You didn't act differently around me so I can assure you wala ka ring nagawang anything to make me uncomfy. It's within his discretion whether he'll trust me with my company or not. Kasi kapag sinabi ko namang I'm hanging out with a friend, I mean it. Also, di rin yun yung focus ng problem namin

Andy
Plus, I want to focus on figuring things out on my own for now na walang distractions kaya ayun, that's where I want to spend my free time for now kasi I have a lot of catching up to do

Raymund
Oh....
Okay now I have a question
Just out of curiosity

Andy
What is it?

Raymund
Did it become that difficult for you when it was us nung college tayo? You can answer or not if you find my question inappropriate

Andy
No it's fine
But honestly nung college tayo? Everything feels mandated kasi may schedule kang ginawa 😅

Andy
There's also been a frustration on my part kasi may times before na gusto kitang kausapin or puntahan pero hindi pwede kasi busy ka sa school and tumutulong sa kuya mo for your business. But I get it, hectic din schedule natin nun

Andy
Though I won't deny na there are times I felt like sana spontaneous tayo kasi parang wala na rin yung surprises. I mean, I already know what I'm expecting at a certain time and day na tipong after saturday classes we're going out for a date until 8 pm. It felt mandatory na it's something I have to do and it's not something I want to do

Raymund
Ohh
All right, I get it

Andy
Ayun 😅
But there's no point on dwelling on it now. Almost a decade ago na rin yun and I'm pretty sure we already moved past it.

Raymund
Yes, of course. We did
Thank you for telling me
Consistent yung feedback na natanggap ko

Andy
Hala
What do you mean?

Raymund
You were actually the second one
Ayan din sinabi sakin ng recent girlfriend ko before. Actually, it was the main reason why she broke up with me kasi strict daw ako sa time ko and she didn't feel like she was a priority. Para sakin naman, if I don't put everything on my schedule, makakalimutan ko talaga. If I don't see it there, I would assume it's a window time for me to rest and do nothing. I needed reminders

Andy
Ohh 😅
Now I know
I think this is what I sound like

Raymund
Sound like? In terms of?

Andy
When I talked to Klein last night. Kasi at some point we were also the same and I just realized that maybe that's how I sound like to him kagabi. Confused lang din kasi ako about some things

Andy
Pero, thank you. This was an eye opener too actually

Raymund
You're... welcome?

Andy
This is weird right?

Raymund
A bit
But I'm glad it helped you somehow?

Andy
Hahahaha it did
Kaya thank you
I also hope sa next relationship mo na you find the time to prioritize them without reminders. Na you'll remember them because they're an important part of your life and that doesn't need any reminding (applies to me too)

Raymund
Thanks, Andy.
I'll remember this.
And good luck sa bar!
Although I know you'll make it.
I'll cheer for you all the way from London

Andy
Thank you!!! 😊
