no embellishment

i wake up every morning with images of betrayal and deception personified staring at my face. mocking, spiteful, arrogant, unremorseful, ugly. it's the kind of ordeal i go through every minute of my waking hours no matter where i am or who i am with.

the images haunt me like ghosts, and i know that even my laughter cannot feign the anguish i feel. there is pounding in my chest that never goes away and leaves me constantly feeling fatigued. my head sorely swells not of pride but of self-humiliation. at times i want to puke just to extricate the feeling of being filthy. reduced to a sex object, taken for an idiot who could easily be duped by a display of false concern, disgraced and stripped of my dignity; such dehumanizing experience.

hi, i don't really know the reason why you posted in my blog the comment that you have a lot of things to say about infidelity and that if you did the limelight might be taken away from me.

first of all, i totally agree with you that love is more than just about being in love. it is about responsiblity, committment, and of course - and i think this is the most important of all - RESPECT.

And respect does not only mean being the proper gentleman or obliging partner, as traditional and feudal ideals about women says. But respect should mean treating the other person as a co-equal, a living and breathing human being.

This entails respecting his/her privacy, body, judgements, values system, ideals, and decisions.

This kind of respect is quite hard to do in practice. given that most human beings have this tendency to go into a relationship to seek for what they lack.

sabi ng kaibigan ko, "mahirap magmahal kung ang hinahanap mo sa iba ay ang wala sa iyo."

Kapag kasi nagmahal ka at patuloy mo siyang minamahal dahil sa meron siyang natutugunan sa iyo, o di kaya kung patuloy siyang bumabalik at nagsasabi na mahal kanya, pero sa totoo lang ay bumabalik lang siya dahil may tinutugunana ka sa kanya, then this means that love becomes a mere excuse for personal satisfaction and selfish interest.

Emotional dependency kills the beauty of falling in love. And people who say they love another person pero sa totoo lang ay ginagamit lang nila ang taong iyon para ma-satisfy ang kanilang urges at needs is a weak and self centered person.

Based on your post mukhang naka-encounter ka ng ganitong tao.I'm sorry if you did, but i think he is not worth your time and energy in the first place.

may nabura kasi okay na kami, for now. thanks for your comment. and by the way i've read your past blogs, and i salute you for saying those things. Life will go on and you'll find better things, and meet genuinely caring individuals. darating ang araw siya rin ang magsisi.

to wallow in hatred and to seek revenge will in the end be self-defeating. to involve everyone in your quest for justice is manipulative.

perhaps you only know half of the truth. i don't blame you anonymous.

on second thought, maybe you do know the truth but just cannot accept it. then i forgive you for saying what you just did.
