signs and symptoms

"you always do this to yourself," maffi reminded me the other day while i was telling her about my escapade with men the past few months. there's ab who i have been seeing since january and has not told me anyhtign about what he really feels for me and yet, he constantly bugs me about my feelings for ron. then there's this guy i constantly call "kuya tony" who everybody thinks i am with since i am always physically seen with him. there's MARK whom i went out this week ---he was fun to be with. then there's jay, whom i just started hanging around with three weeks ago and we are clicking closer than ever.

i am losing my patience with ab because he is too slow in telling me how he feels. and kuya is purely just a friend to me. mark is just a fun fella to kick it with . but jay, he is so much more like me. i hate to say this but he reminds me so much of ron besides being both korean. and then when i told maffi about how he gives me the "thrill." and then i added that i will be avoiding him.

maff questioned why i always do this to myself. she said that she noticed that eversince high school that when i start to like anyone, i do not tell them what i feel and i chicken out. and i am doing it again now with jay. i told maff that jay does not knwo anything about me exceot i sued to be from jefrox and that i am a nurse. otherwise, it is killing him that i know so much about his culture even his language. and i am scared to share one pinch of me to him.

truth is, i could not tell maff that i have not changed since high school. i am still chicken at this thing called love. i am so afraid to love again after what had happened on the last one. and since, i am feeling the "i-like-symptoms" from jay, i am starting to dwell on my past experiences and i am being to develop the "i-have-to-avoid-this guy" symptoms again. i do not know what lies ahead. i i only know i am scared. one thing i know for sure is...time will come when i will be ready to love. who knows this might be the start? what i wanted to tell maff was i am still coping that is why i am avoiding the men getting attracted to me. but it will take baby steps until i let someone conquer my heart again. for now, i am just letting the symptoms kick in.

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.
