confused

he asked me to see him. i excused, "i'm too busy. i have a lot of patients." i did. i had two discharged but i also had four admissions. damn admissions. i have not seen him. it's been days. before, i see him every day of my shift. we'd have our " how-was-your-day-talks" and inside jokes. i felt guilty so from my nursing ward, i called his extension, " hey, i just want to know how your day is goin' " then he rambled, whined, and complained like he used to.

as i said, it has been days. we have not seen each other nor talked to each other for waht it seemed like months. he said he missed me and i'd always say, " oh yah, no doubt, me, too" just to keep it simple. at times my eyes were puffy, he knew i cried and he also knew it was because of this problem i have with ron. and he is probably the only friend who knew what was going on.

i left work and did not see him. i felt guilty again the next day. so i called him and asked him what he wanted for lunch. actually, i wanted to see him. i don't know why. i have ron in my life and yet, something about 'him" wants me to see him. so i bought food for him and his brother. i parked at the side curb. i got a glimpse of him from afar. i could already see his smiles. he came along, with his brother. i handed them their food. i said i was in a rush. he smiled and stared at me. i smiled back but i avoided his stares. but on his lunch bag, i gave him a thank you card with my sticky picture on it because he complained about how he never see me. now, he can see me anytime he wants. plus i gave him one of the lotions i used...he liked the smell of my hand lotion. but anyway, i left hurriedly but i told him i'll call him again when i get home.

i failed to call him because i had errands to do. at work yesterday, we had low census. i had minimal number of patients. i had every chances to see him one floor down from mine. but i didn't. i don't know why. i just felt as if it was not right. but i called him. my break times went and gone and yet i did not visit him. finally, i had one hour left and i told him, i'll bring him dinner after work.

and then i did. finally, i saw him. he greeted me with a huge smile and a loud, "i miss you, seaweed!" i smiled back. in the back of my head, i told myself, i missed him, too. but i could not say that. i was with ron. so i borught him his food in his room and we talked about our lives again. we always had wonderful conversations and laughters.

when it was time to go, i gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek like i always do. and then he said, hug him one more time...i did and then he kissed me. on the lips. he kissed me. he smiled. and i looked at him, wondered why he did that. i decided not to ask him anything. i did not need to knwo what it was for. i was curious but eh, i didn't have the nerve to ask him anyway. casually, i told him it was getting late and i need to excuse myself.

when i got home, he called, he said he missed my lips. eh. i could not say anything. i was scared. i am still with ron. but i knew how much "he" liked me. in some weird ways, he makes me happy. but he knew we could not be more than friends. i love ron but "he" has been filling up for ron's absence.

i'm confused. i decided to avoid "him" again. it's just...it's not right.

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
