Hours have passed. I'm still thinking of what my decision should be.
I'm thinking of what's best for myself, most especially, for everyone.
By this time, I come to decide na mas piliin ko ang utak kesa ang puso ko.
No matter how much I wanted to do something para magkaayos kami ni Tyrone, napakahirap, sobrang hirap.
Mahirap, to the point na ako yung magmumukhang tanga kakahabol at kakakuha sa atensyon nya, sa pagkapit sa mga binitawan nyang salita noon.
I've come to conclude that Tyrone, who I've known for months, the one who made me feel special but also made me feel horrible of getting his attention and not be by my side in one of the darkest moment of my life, and my bestfriend, Roni, na kinilala ako utay utay at dinamayan ako sa dilim, are my 'TOTGA", The One That Got Away, if ever I let one of them, or both of them, go.
By this time, I decided na yung bestfriend ko ang piliin ko.
On the other hand, if ever na hindi naman ako ang piliin ng bestfriend ko in the future, that'll be fine with me. Kasi as I think of who I'm going to choose, I'm also thinking of the possible happenings in the future with one of them.
Basta para sa akin, kung saan sya masaya, I'll be happy for him.
I'll be happy for them.
I'll send them both with my sincerest prayer, and that is, for them to become successful in life and have genuine happiness that everyone deserves. That's how much I treasure them.
I'm willing to take the risk for everyone's sake.
If I choose Tyrone, magpapatuloy lang yung panghahabol ko sa kanya at pangunguha ng atensyon nya, in which hindi ko dapat ginagawa.
Ako yung liligawan diba? Bat hahayaan ko ang sarili ko magmukhang kawawa?
Although, gusto kong bumalik yung dating kami na okay and all. Still, sweetness can't stay the same always. There'll always be changes.
The real question is, "mahahandle ba nya ako?"
And as I think about it, once nagdrama ako sa kanya through chat, and guess what, he just said what other people says, as if he was telling me not to be so dramatic over something, in which, obviously wrong kasi as of that time, mas kailangan ko nang karamay at hindi kaaway.
Siguro nasanay na din ako kasi dinadamayan at nahahandle ako ni Roni sa mga drama ko and pag iinarte. He's saying things, giving me advices without making me feel bad about feeling that way, about being the way I truly am.
That kind of characteristic is what I longed for, so much.
Sinong mas makakahandle sakin?
Disregard yung time na nakilala ko sila. Let's base on their actions and potential.
By basing on their actions and potentials, mas komportable akong magsabi ng thoughts ko sa bestfriend ko kesa kay Tyrone, dahil sa pagpapamukha nya sa akin na hindi nya pinahahalagahan ang mga mahahalaga sa akin, lalo pa ang emotions ko, and mga naiisip ko. Too bad.
Kaya minsan, naiisip ko, kasabay ng pakikipagkaibigan ko sa mga lalaki ay ang pagiging nanay nanayan sa kanila, tipong ako ang magsasabi at magpaparealize sa kanila ng mga dapat at di dapat nilang gawin. Ako ang tutulong at gagabay sa kanila sa abo't ng aking makakaya. Pero hindi ko sila pipilitin na gawin yun.
Pansin ko kasi, mostly, pag alanganin na, nakakagawa ang tao ng bagay na alam nating pagsisisihan din natin. So, I'm here to suggest choices.
I want my boy friends to become a better person, whom girls deserves. On the other hand, I want them to be with someone who deserves them, too.
Their right one.

January 24-25, 2019
Since the afternoon of January 24th, my group of girl friends are at my house for some bonding and group work.
Through my friends, Nhery Anne and Hazel, sila ang nagpasimula ng chat namin ni Tyrone, sa pakikiusap ko. Kasi hindi na ako mapakali at ayokong parang may kaaway ako na feeling.
To think na wala naman akong kaaway pero may iniiwasan ako.
It's my decision na iwasan sya kasi yun yung feeling kong necessary sa sitwasyon.
And yes, nagusap kami.
Nagsimula ang usapan namin sa kalokohan pero kapag hindi na sya nagrereply, nag iisip ako ng panibagong topic.
Hanggang sa makarating ang topic sa personal na bagay, sa issue between sa aming dalawa.
Nagkatanungan kami kung anong nangyari.
Nasabi din namin ang mga dahilan namin.
Nasabi ko din sa kanya yung dapat na plano ko nung December 18 nang gabi na hindi naman natuloy.
Also, sabi nya sakin, kaya nya daw ako pinapili that night, ay dahil akala nya sya ang pipiliin ko.
Knowing the fact na binibitawan na nya yung paninigarilyo nya, kinokontrol nya na din yung paglalaro nya at pag iinom. Tapos ang pipiliin ko pa daw ay yung kabila.
In which, hindi naman talaga. That night, in reality, sya naman talaga ang pipiliin ko e, but then, things happen.
Those moves, those actions leads us to this, misunderstanding.
I think nasabi ko na sa kanya lahat. Pero kung hindi man, hahayaan ko nalang.
Nilinaw ko na din na hanggang magkaibigan na lang ang maibibigay ko sa kanya.
At buo na din ang desisyon ko na hanggang dun nalang talaga kami. Unti unti ko na yung tinatanggap sa sarili ko.
Although hindi kami magiging partners or what, I want us to be friends kasi gusto ko syang itreasure.
He's nice, at mabuting tao, after all. And I'm looking forward to the success ng pag uusap namin through chat. Sana maapply sa personal. Sana.
Pero hindi ganun kadali ang personal na paghaharap kesa sa chat lang.
Ilang beses na kaming nagkakakita, nagkakasalubong, nagkakasalisi pero hindi kami nagkakapansinan.
Lumipas ang araw, ang linggo...
Umabot na sa sunod na buwan.
Hindi padin kami nagkakapansinan.

I sent a message to She/Sab and Jovel.
"Bibi. Naiisip ko ngayon.. Kung sakali, kung sakali lang naman. Magmamakapal mukha na ako. Hahaha kung sakali na may gusto sakin sina Tyrone at Roni, bakit ako pipili agad diba? I mean, let them be. Let them show what they got. PURSUE ME. In a legal way. Kung talaga. Since, kung ang tatanungin naman ay damdamin ko, I won't say a word kasi pareho silang malapit sa puso ko. And whoever man ang ibigay sakin ni God na deserve ko at deserve din ako, magwowork ang bestest namin together, edi sya. I mean, kaya kong tanggapin. Time will tell. Kumbaga, sa level na yun, both zero sila. Walang kung sinong dati ko pa kakilala etc."
What I mean is that, sa level ng friendship, lamang si Roni pero pag nag enter na sa level ng courtship, they're both zero-zero, may the best man win.
Am I not worthy to be pursued? Hindi naman diba?
I may be moody, overthinker, pessimistic, tanga, immature at kahit lahat na nang pwedeng idescribe sakin, go.
The point is, that shouldn't describe me alone kasi I also have my bright side.
Kaya nga, kahit gaano kabigat ang pinagdadaanan ko, kahit gaano ako nagiging kadrama, I still push myself up to fight. I find reasons to get up and all. I help others to help themselves.
I do everything and give my best shot.
I know that time will come and things will fall into place.
I believe in God's plan and God's time.
