The sun never came out today. It has been a day of downpour and sordid skies. Rainy season, I think, has finally begun. And it may last until about November or December, when everybody would be glad to celebrate the holidays cool and dry. But for me, rainy days will always be here. I just love it when it rains. It seem to console me and match the mood which I usually find myself in. Seems that only the skies, brewing storms, can everunderstand how I feel.

As usual, nothing much today. I’m still doing what I’ve been doing for the past few months: reading, reviewing, and sleeping. I need to finish my second pass reading of physiology by tomorrow so I could get to test myself with the sample questions. Eight days more and judgement days will begin (medical board exams will take 4 days). I want this to be done already so Icould turn my attention to more important things, like mourning.

I’m still depressed about this guy that I liked. Yes, we are friends and all that. We are even texting one another right now. However, I still haven’t fully accepted the fact that this is all we’ll ever be. Just friends. He’s simply not that romantically interested (though most of the time it would seem otherwise and people around us would think that we are romantically involved. Sad to say, guys, we aren’t…) And I still feel jealous whenever he talks about any female friends going to his house (God knows what they might be doing there in his room. He even implied once that they were doing something else there. I could only bit my lip and keepsilent but tears were already flowing…).

I remember that time the I proposed to him. Yup, I did that. Stupid me. I proposed to him that we put the relationship to the next level since we are doing so good as friends and that I care for him. He told me that we are already doing good where we are. I didn’t push it anymore. Then I
remembered that there was one time he told me that he wished he was my boyfriend. Maybe he was just drunk then. But we were just finishing up our first round of beer then. I don’t know. I was confused. With the recent events (which I could not elaborate more on because I have to protect some people’s interest…), I only slowly realized that he may not want to be involved in a relationship as of the moment. I supposed that should be of some consolation to me, but I don’t feel that it is. Day in and day out I wanted to show him more affection but I just cannot because I am limited to being a friend. And this is where I should just be while he may be galloping around and breaking girls’ hearts and just being the usual charming bachelor he is. People hear me talking like this would have said that I should just get over him and get a life of my own, since that is what he is doing. Easier said than done. I just can’t. Not right away. There are days that I felt that I have fully grasped that fact he couldn’t be mine (as evidenced by some of my previous entries). But then there were days that I would suddenly remember that I still do have some feelings left and that it would not be easily set aside. And it is a cycle that I don’t know if and how it would end. I have debated with myself if I’ll tell him all these things. Part of me says that I should since he has right to know it because we are friends and that maybe by telling him so he would have a sudden realization that it is me that he wanted all along. Another part of me says that it would be a waste of my time and it would just make me look like an idiot. I already know that he wouldn’t completely understand me because it never happened to him (most people who did not experience these kind of things would mostly regard my feelings as superficial. I hate those people…).

And the debate continues. Maybe after the board exams I’d write or email him a letter, though I’m not yet sure how and what I should tell him. For the mean time, it would just be me, my journal, my tears, the downpour of rain and the sordid skies. Hope, my Muse, will be the little firelight in the darkness. I just hope her wings won’t be dampened by the endless fallof rain…

While most Filipinos would spend much of their evening watching, “Mga Anghel na Walang Langit”, “Kampanerang Kuba”, “Meteor Garden”, “Darna”, or “Engkantadia”, I usually spend an hour of my early evening watching the newest and hottest reality-based TV show in the Philippines today. It’s more exciting than the said telenovelas because everyday something significant happens that propels that whole story forward. Day by day, character development among the players were apparent. Moreover, whatever the ending of the story would be, I’m sure it would be make an important impact in my life. I’m talking about the drama-filled and comedy-prone saga of the President: Guilty or Not Guilty.

It’s quite interesting, actually. An unbiased observer would find amusement on how the pro-administration members and opposition members hurl criticisms at each other. A little highlight would be that one of the Department of Justice Secretary hurling below-the-belt comments about an ex-president’s daughter and how this ex-president’s daughter retorted to every insult on live TV in one of the popular showbiz talk shows, after which the president personally called her and asked forgiveness for the nth time. And then, there’s the endless changing positions among the politicians and opposition witnesses, who were condemning the First Family for being connected to jueteng payola, suddenly saying that they were just forced to do so, but adding that they did not lie in their statements (that’s somehow contradictory, isn’t?).

Oh well, tomorrow would be a more exciting episode. Tomorrow the Committee on Justice hearings regarding the impeachment proposal will start and the Jueteng hearings in congress, with the opposition saying they have a new surprise witness (how could it be surprise when they have already announced the name?) to present who will give undeniable and credible evidence connecting the First Family to jueteng.

More of this tomorrow. I still have to watch ABS-CBN’s Pipol episode tonight about Commissioner Garcillano, the supposed COMELEC commisioner PGMA was talking to in the Hello Garci tape, and Michael Angelo Zuce, witness as to how Lilian Pineda gave out money (supposedly from jueteng payola) to COMELEC commissioners during a dinner in the Arroyo’s La Vista House.

I just hope this is not one of those long-playing dramas on TV…

Nothing much today. It was already 6am earlier when I decided to end my studying and slept. Woke up after 5 hours to continue where I left. Then I got busy with the review materials sent to me via email, checking which would be worth my study time, printing some of the questions while the other lengthy ones I put in my PDA. Was talking with this guy that I like over the phone and having a nice time at it when someone called him from the other line. He answered the phone and then told me he’ll just call me again. He hadn’t called again. Hmmm…I wonder who that other person was…are they still talking now? Why hasn’t he called again? Are they having a nice chit-chat like we did?

Jealousy starting to stir up again, I guess. So, I decided to continue with my review, while listening to Nina songs, trying to put a stop on the wheels that have started whirring again inside my mind. I can’t think about him now. Not when the board exams are so near. I drowned myself with Nina’s songs like “Love Moves” and “Through the Fire”. Then I started to dream how it would be like if I really know how to sing and I could sing these songs to him and some others which he like. Or maybe we could do sing a duet of “The Closer I Get to You”…but he doesn’t know that song hahaha. Oh well, maybe if I could sing he would take more notice of me.

No, no, no. Daydreaming again (actually it’s already 12:18 am but then, whatever…). Got to stop this. I have been in a situation like this. And I know where this would lead me if I do not get a grip at myself.

On with my review. After checking emails and my blogs…
