Bata pa kami inaaway na niya ko. Kinukurot. Sinisilipan. Binabato ng eraser. Napipikon ako lagi. Umiiyak. Nagsusumbong sa teacher. Nung grade one umiyak ako kasi hinila niya yung pigtails ko. Isang beses nung grade three hinila niya yung upuan ko kaya napaupo ako sa sahig. Minsan nung grade five niregla ako, nakita niya yung tagos ko at pinagkalat sa buong klase.Nung first year high school ninakaw niya yung ID ko; ilang araw akong pinagmulta sa gate. Tapos ngayong sira yung sapatos ko, yayayain akong sumayaw. Bad trip!

It’s that time of the year again. For lovers, it is the time to celebrate love. For single people, it is the time to be hopeful to find someone someday.

May pagseselosan siya, mag-aaway kami. May pagseselosan ako, mag-aaway kami. May ginawa siyang bullshit, mag-aaway kami. May ginawa akong bullshit, mag-aaway kami. Konting di pagkakaintindihan, away. Konting away, break. Paulit-ulit. Paikot-ikot. Nakakapagod din.

Sometimes I wish I had arms so I can wrap it around her shoulders. I wish I had fingers so I can hold her hand in mine. I wish I had a tongue that can tell her how beautiful I think she is, no matter the time of day. I wish I had lips so I can kiss her again and again. Maybe then, I could make her feel less alone.

Let's tell the truth here. Maybe you deserve it.

One day she won't love you, too.

Gumawa ka na ng account. Nag-upload ka na ng istorya. Dumalaw ka na sa iba-ibang clubs. Napapagod ka na rin sa kaka-copy paste ng link ng istorya mo kung saan-saan. Wala ka pa ring reads. Pa-give up ka na ba? Basa na!

"It's like reading a book, but you get to know how it ends right there in the first page." If you know how it ends, would you still do it?

Si Zai, na naglilista ng mga Ex niya. Ang tawag ni Jep dito, documentation. Ang tawag ni Zai, The Ex-Girlfriend Chronicles. Gusto mong makita yung listahan nila? Basa na!
