Back to the Future

Not much has been rocking my world, lately. Could be the lull after the tumultuous love affair that just ended between me and my business. Hehe.

I'm glad I was not yet that emotionally attached to it; otherwise...

* * * * *

In other news.. parang reporter.. some well-meaning friends are sharing my happiness over my decision to set a date with Mr. Frog and settle things with him.

Some are that happy to the extent that they have started painting rosy pictures of me, Mr. Frog and our brand-new friendship in the future.

But if you ask me, I'm not quite there yet--the rosy part of the future. First thing's first. When he returns, I'll (gulp!) call him up; set a date with him; and sink or swim. Dapat swim 'di ba! Hehe.

Should things get settled between us, then that in itself would be an ultimate happiness for me. :o)

Haay... sana nga...

I can even joke about his new date now; how we can all get together (me, Mr. Frog, our common friends & his new date).. and make her kilatis. Hehehe. As if.

Sabi nga ni Lou, libre lang mangarap, so mangarap tayo to the max! :o)

Lou also expressed certainty that God will grant my desire to reconcile with Mr. Frog, because reconciliation is God's will, after all!

Besides, He wants me to have peace. And most certainly, being the God of Peace, He'd also want me to be friends with Mr. Frog, again.

* * * * *

If all things fall into place, it's going to be another merry Christmas for me & Mr. Frog, after all. Sana nga... :o)

I Shall Return!

Walang kokontra! I am going to talk to Mr. Frog and get it over with, for the last and final time. Lou will take care of the invite spiel and I the conversation "script" (on my counselor's instructions).

I shall be ruthless to my feelings and stay true to the script. After all, THIS HAS GOT TO END!!!!

I'm tired; I want to be happy; I want to move on and have new relationships. MALE relationships! ...preferrably with a real man who has the backbone to drive the relationship forward... and will not leave me hanging, nor my heart bleeding.

We have 2-3 more weeks to prepare for D-Day, until he comes home from a training abroad sometime in November.

* * *

To all my friends:

I know you love me. I do thank you for that. I appreciate how you have stood behind me until I was past the emotional pain care of Mr. Frog. I also know that if you had your way, you will probably put him behind bars, if only to make him pay for how he murdered my heart without mercy.

But no matter what you say or what you think of him, now, I have made up my mind. I AM GOING TO TALK TO HIM. And that is that. If you really want to help, just please pray for both of us.

Bombshell

Wish it were me. But it's my business I'm talking about here. A.k.a. "The Bomb!"

Yes, fellow earthlings, the business i was madly in love with only a few weeks ago bombed out on me on its debut.

Gawd. How can I compare how LITTLE I earned, compared to the humongous effort that went into the actual preparation. It's like comparing a teeny-weeny ant to a mango tree that it's sickeningly funny. Waaah!!!

Having hit this hard reality, I resolved to cease operations, from henceforth. And I did.

I didn't regret having done so; I still don't.

Lessons were learned along the way; and that's what matters most.

Despite the financial loss that accompanied the disappointment, I vowed to make a comeback. And I will. A wiser, better equipped entrepreneur.
