Questions

It’s a weird, crazy question, but I’ll ask it anyway…
Why do all the senti stuff in my life recently, always seem to happen in the mess hall?
Of all places?! And Gloria’s food?!
First, it was there (over breakfast and hot chocolate) when I realized just how deeply I had fallen for ‘someone’ one early Tuesday morning. And it’s also there that I often get to see that certain ‘someone.’
And now, this…
I was finishing my breakfast (adobo rolls, as usual…), minding my own business when I received this text message from a friend back in high school. The poor guy said something about “people having their own share of pain” and stuff… It was a short message, and at the end he asked “but why do I have all the pain?”
I was like… “huh!?” (Pentium I, processing…)
I was surprised because this guy and I weren’t really very close back in high school. Oh, we were a bit close, but he had his own barkada, the “in” group of boys who called themselves the Malditoz. So, him opening up to me about his problems was totally unexpected. The other reason is that it’s been quite some time since he last texted me, so to text me now early in the morning, something must have been really troubling him.
Why do I have all the pain?
Whew, that’s heavy… to claim to have all the world’s pain is… I just can’t imagine how it must feel…
I replied, asking him about it. I had a strong feeling it had something to do with love matters… He was kinda the hopeless romantic type… But for heaven’s sake, of all people, why ask me about those stuff? Sheesh, for crying out loud, I can’t even fix my own mess… (And speaking of my own mess…)
I put down the phone and downed the last of my hot choco up to the last dreadful dregs… And just when I looked, ‘someone’ had just entered the mess hall…
Shit.
Was it some kind of cruel joke?
(Now, I wish I had saved the message.)
“Why do I have all the pain?” indeed.

About Me


Name: remrick
Home: Surigao City, Philippines
About Me: Let me tell you what I'm not: I am not predisposed to bare my guts and soul here in the internet for the whole world to see just for the sake of it. It's just that I like writing, in the free and unstructured way that blogging provides for. I simply want to express what I think and feel. Is that too much to ask? Which leads me to my next point... I am not invulnerable, in spite of all my attempts to put on a face of cool composure, and desperately wanting I was good enough to fool myself. In short, I am not really what I seem. So, would you still take my ramblings seriously?
