Whoops! Wait lang mga besh, mumsh, mems, dudes, dudettes, friendship! Hindi po ako nag-self pity. To be honest, I don't mind being single.
I live a good life - Stable job that supports my lifestyle, able to travel when I want, go out with who I want, buy what I want. And I'm happy with it. I don't feel like there's something "missing".
But, I have to admit, there are moments when being single seems to be thrown in your face. At least, it feels like that. And being in weddings makes me feel that.
With all the weddings I've attended, I stopped bringing a date because that just leads to questions like "Ikaw na next!" even if I barely even know my plus one for that time. So, I stopped taking someone to weddings. I'll do that when I've met someone I was serious about.
I date, sure, just no one serious. Yet.
I looked up from scrolling thru social media at my friend, today's bride. She wasn't done and photo taking won't start for awhile so I decided to head out to the beautiful fountain I saw last night from my hotel window.
The hotel was situated in a sprawling land filled with old houses and was picturesque by itself. It was often booked for weddings and other like events. The fountain was situated in the middle of our hotel and another hotel across the distance with another chapel. Some shrubs kept the other venue separate from ours but guests could still roam the entire venue.
As I was taking shots of the scenery (oo na, may selfies din), I caught a man running in my direction.
"Oh my god! Mumu ba yun?" Then again, would a ghost really need to run?
I continued to watch the man, who kept checking to see if someone was running after him. Because if this, he didn't notice that he was already close to the fountain.
"Hey-" I attempted to warn him.
Splash!
Yup, he fell in.
I seriously wanted to laugh but checked on the guy first. "Sir! Mister! Are you okay?"
He shook the water off, gaze unsteady for a brief moment, but finally settled on me. He sighed. "Dyesebel?"
Hala. Matindi yata yung pagkabagok ng ulo nito.
