Why I Try...

I've just started to work and things have been looking up. I'm currently adjusting to the office environment, and the work that I'm doing. I've also been adjusting (quite well) with the housemates I have and the commute from Boni ave. to Ayala Ave. Now why I try convincing my girlfriend that I love her is something else I cannot fathom.

I don't know why I need to convince her, or why I even try. I love her, that's sure. But she's having issues with me working and being far away from each other. I don't seem to have any problems, but I can sense that she's not fine with it. Now I have to worry about work, and eventually school which starts tomorrow (I haven't registered yet even).

I was fine with talking over the phone, and thanks to the Sun cellular network, calls are free (but are cut at 15 minutes, which I don't mind much). However my girlfriend has times when she'd want to talk until the wee hours of the morning, which I couldn't really deal with well having work and all. Now she leaves me hanging by saying "I'm not sure I love you...". Say what?! She's not sure (or she can't tell) whether she loves me.

She feels that for the past few days, she's just a "wallflower" with me being busy and all. I'm not going to justify it when I tell her that I'll be sleeping now but in a while getting midnight snacks and an early morning movie with my housemates. I'm being honest to her, as honest as honest can be, but she still demands more. I knew I got myself into something when I found out that she's high maintenance and demanding. Now tell me about high maintenance because she's something else.

But I love her. That's for sure. I don't know what to tell her anymore, other than that I do love her and I'm willing to work things out -- but right now it seems na she's not into working things out. We had a fight earlier, over the phone, involving her not being sure whether or not to contiue the relationship. But I'm not into thinking over things for too long, and I told her that I couldn't take any more of the conversation, hung up, and left for the office with my cellphone turned off and charging at home.

If you're reading this now baby, I'm really really sorry. I just need to blow off some steam, kasi I lost my temper. It's the pressure and the stress getting to me, and I hope you'll understand. I pray that you can forgive me, and that you'd be willing to ride this through. I've put in so much of me in this relationship, and I wouldn't want it to get ruined over some arrangement and the physical distance between us.

I love you baby.

    dude,

    your relationship isn't ready for your entry into the philippine labor force yet. i strongly advise you to break up as friends before you two break up with only bitterness in your hearts. it's nobody's fault; that's just the way it is in the geographical blink of the earth's eye.

    where'sh the frikkin shot glassh?

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with. From my perspective, if I consider you a frien...

Grief and Mourning

I've not been writing for a long time already but this time I can't keep this to myself. There's been too much happening to me and my family the past few days that I need an outlet. I've tried talking it out, being silent, and crying it out. Right now though I'm numb. I don't know whether I can keep this to myself and if I do I don't think it will be a good thing. Maybe other people have had the same experience or at least gone through the same thing. Maybe just the act of writing this out is going to be enough to make me feel something. There was a time in my life that I had thought I've been through everything. I thought everything that can happen to me would be something I can deal with. There was no doubt in my mind that I can handle anything. Unfortunately this latest one that happened to me and my wife wasn't something I was prepared for. Nor was I ready to deal with it in a manner that was controlled or well-thought out. I thought maybe if I...
