Well. Sometimes people will never get other people. Why call them friends even? But if you feel that way then by all means talk, because that gets you somewhere. If they refuse then you know what to do next: call someone randomly and blab until they get annoyed. Or whatever, I know that won’t really work.

But this, I don’t call “emo”. Sentimental, maybe. Or some adjective incorporating “regret” in some way.

But you have my phone number, right?

Oh, but I know you’d rather not.

(Funny enough, word verification threw “abhor” at me.)

remember, i lost my phone? i don’t have anyone’s number anymore.

The only thing that I see that happened to you is that you have grown.

You were exposed to the real world when you worked for a while Liz, and somehow, it gave you a new perspective. Maybe the popularity of your blog went to your head, maybe it didn’t. Maybe, they are annoyed with the “newly improved arrogance”, maybe not. But who can tell for certain except your friends themselves. Also things happen for a reason right? Maybe you could start searching for the answers there. Whatever you find, I can only assure you that it will provide you with more growth.

the so-called popularity of my blog went to my head indeed. and yes they are annoyed by it, who wouldn’t be?

if only this growing up business were easier.

we are young..we will experience we all need to experience in order to feel human. even if that means more time or less time.

shucks! i guess it should be “you are young”.

take care liz and take care of your friends too… pero wag mo naman silang ihatid sa pedestrians crossing..

maybe the it.s not about you talking to them, lecturing them or advising them or telling them..how about listening..(i learn that when i realize this beggar needed an ear instead of a helping hand)

hey it is just me. solitude sometimes is a gift..you can integrate the “me, myself, and i” acquiant them to each other r reacquiant them..ah basta.

I haven’t been reading this blog, so I apologize. But that’s the one with the 2MP camera? Ouch.

Wish I could reach out somehow, still, though.

Your friends should not try to force you to change. Personally, I find it sick when somebody stops me from talking about something or someone I love.

Also, there’s nothing wrong with being emo. I ridicule emos only if they do no attempt to cheer themselves up or if they wallow in their lonliness (and possibly self-pity) for prolonged periods of time.

I am currently emo too, FYI.

dave, good point, maybe listening is the key. but i’ve been listening to much lately i end up not saying anything anyway and feeling awkward because i don’t know what’s acceptable to do.

niko, don’t worry. shrugging things off works wonder for peace of mind.

ade, i woulnd’t put it that way. i’m sure they simply want the best for me.

lol, the required word in order to post this comment was “abhor”

anyway, liz, i think you know more whats best for you than your friends. if youre happy with blogging and lovelife hehe, so be it. they will surely understand. or maybe you are just paranoid of not having enough time to hang out with them and you will that you are losing them.

PS

sorry di na extend yung deadline ng contest

who need friends anyway? they’re just envious of you. the whole world is conspiring against you Liz. it’s time to bring out your mad-evil-genious self. annihilate everyone.

(word verification says “urged”)

[QUOTE]They don’t like my newly improved arrogance[/QUOTE]
Your arrogance has improved? Good. You’ve always been intellectually arrogant. I’ve always liked that about you since I’m also a bit intellectually arrogant =)

When people don’t spend enough time together, they tend to go out of sync. Maybe you just need to spend more time with them. if you really can’t relate to them anymore though, don’t feel pressured to change. Find people who are at the same wavelength, people whom you can share your new interests with.

A lot of people are willing to lend their shoulders for you to lean on or cry on, if need be.

BTW I replied to your text msg. I’m not sure if you got it. If you need help, just tell me. I’ll help you any way i can

Ooh.. I’m feeling the emo-vibes on this one.

Maybe you’re just very, very tired. I usually see you in the OSAD desperately trying to get a nap and relax and stuff.

But yeah, you haven’t been spending much time with them recently… uh…

SCHOOL RUINS FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIPS! ARGH!

funny. all the advice. no offense..=)

note: i’ve been getting reactions regarding my word verification thing. what up with that?

totomai: issokay. i’m sure there’s next time. thanks for the ‘mature’ advice. how’s thailand doing? are you still in thailand?

paolo: er, i’ve never been not evil. why’d you move your address?

jaywalker: i’m shy.

ting: i haven’t been seeing you lately. where the hell have you been? hopefully, eating.

paul: tha fuck?

thailand is hot lol. yup, 8 more months to go.

inform kita agad kung may bago silang contest hehe. ingat lagi. no need to be emo. lol

Hey Lizzles. I apologize now because I’m going to sound like an old fogey but here goes anyway:

The expectation that compatibility comes in the form of a right fit, whether in romance or friendship may be asking for too much. It shouldn’t be too hard yes, but it isn’t effortless either.

That said, I feel that your friends should remember that you never really stop getting to know a person. The moment you do, you trap them in a tiny little box. It’s quite convenient but grossly inaccurate. Acceptance seems a amiss here.

But then again, you were never one to seek acceptance anyway.

We have much to talk about. When can we meet for coffee?

hm. silence can be golden. gives you time to think and go ‘nuninuninuninuninu…’ anyway. estrangement is bound to happen in any relationship- people go separate ways and at times those ways rarely have anything in common.

everyone’s a bad friend/boyfriend/girlfriend one way or the other. we’re human after all, we’re greedy, selfish, self-serving organisms. we adapt and change and evolve in ways not necessarily beneficial to all. And a lot of us forget that. it all starts with tolerance and as Adam said, acceptance, for the other. and if one cannot tolerate and accept the other…? you’re headstrong. que sera sera mi bonita amiga. the world only stops revolving if you decide it does. knowing you, it won’t.

drop a line one of these days if you’re so inclined. you know where and how. see you around

boss: hopefully next week. on wednesday!

marcus: i guess.
