The Mark II
Jul 4, 2006 Fiction
Why does he have to be so sweet? But how can he act like nothing happened? It took me a while before I was able to respond to what he said. He loves me. Or was it an act to bury the guilty feelings? What about that girl? Who is she? What if I am just the past time and she is the real girlfriend? I mean, she was at Jack’s house, too. She must’ve been welcomed to go there anytime she pleases. But I can go there anytime, too! This confuses me a whole lot. I can’t function well anymore. I have to get out.
“Thanks Mark, for everything. You are such a sweet person. You don’t know how much this means to me. You know how I feel about you, right? I’ve never felt this way in a long time. I thought I’d never feel this way again after having been broken into pieces one, two, many times.”
I have to do this. I have to be strong for myself and for all the girls like me out there. He lied to me, he cheated, he betrayed my trust… and I thought I could trust again. I just can’t understand why he has to do this to me, and why now? Before all these happened, everything was going right. We just had most of the things in our lives settled. He got a new place, bought his new car and he was promoted for a higher position at work. On the other hand, I was ready to take on the next chapter of my life. We had it all.
Months after our first anniversary, everything was pure bliss. We even had a chance to go on a week vacation in Palawan. We took a lot of pictures and all of them depict a happy couple. I know both our smiles and the laughter we have shared were all genuine. But why does he have to do it? Kill the happiness we had together?
“Mark, I do love you and you know that right?”
“Yes. Of course I do.”
“I have thought long and hard about this. We obviously have love for each other and our lives compliment each other in such a way that it is almost perfect. But I think… believe that this is not the right time for us.”
“What are you saying? Are you breaking up with me? Dre?!”
“Mark, I know it’s hard to understand what I am trying to do, but really, this would be the best thing for us right now. I don’t want to answer any questions; I just know that I have to do this.”
“I just don’t get it, Dre. Why?”
Isn’t this what he wants? He’s free. Now, he cries?
“This is goodbye, Mark. I’ll see you around.”
But is this the end of us?

Superman Weekend & More
Jul 1, 2006 Daily Blurbs, School
Warning: If you haven’t watched Superman Returns, please do not read the first paragraph!
This morning, I made it a point that I wake up early and take off to watch Superman Returns. The first showing starts at 11:30am, so I had to run. I arrived at Robinson’s Galleria by 11:20am, and yes, I did watch the movie alone. Don’t ask why. I do enjoy watching movies even if I am alone. Well, I got used to it coz when I was in Mapua, my break times usually lasts for 3-4hours, or more. Anyway, the movie is okay. Well, since I am a Superman fan (I’d choose Superman over Spiderman anytime!), I’d say that I did enjoy the movie. Although, some of the scenes are predictable. But there is a twist, Clark Kent has a son named Jason from Lois Lane, and boy did he have the strength! Well, only once in the movie that his super strength was shown. It was when Lois was in trouble and he pushed the piano onto the attacker. Jason is asthmatic, along with other allergies. I guess, it’s the adrenaline that made his strength come out.
Brandon Routh is so HOT! (Wallpaper here with Tom Welling) My take on the movie? Well, I am not so much of a fan of the comics, but I religiously watch Smallville and Lois & Clark from before, and I have seen Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies. This film is nothing like you’ve seen before, but it would give you a familiar and somewhat nostalgic feeling inside. It’s like watching your life all over again. Haha! I also liked the fact that Bryan Singer, the director, chose an unknown actor to star Superman Returns. If Nicolas Cage starred this film, I would give it a second thought before watching. (No offense meant to Cage’s fans!)
When I got home, my parents and brother were on their way to Robinson’s Metroeast, so I did come with them, too. We just ate at Chef d’Angelo and did the grocery. We also went to National Bookstore to buy me a t-square and techpen for school.
It was my uncle Celso’s birthday yesterday so we had dinner at their house. He invited almost everyone from three different streets here in our village. Well, he’s filthy rich, so that’s no problem. There were so many food to choose from, so I settled for a spoonfull or two for each. I loved the crispy squid! Yum! Tummy satisfied…
I went in to run at Keshia’s blog and I didn’t know we had an assignment for Color Theory! I didn’t go to class yesterday. I felt sick. I was vomitting a lot and I felt dehydrated. Must be the food I ate Thursday night. Seafood!
