Forgetting

At the heat of the afternoon, I had lunch with Connie and Leng at Dencio's Paseo Center. Since they wanted to smoke, we stayed outside where the only things that cooled us down are the electric fan and our bottomless iced tea. So as much as I wanted to try to smoke a cigarette, I had to pass because the heat is already making me melt.

As usual, we mainly talked about our relationships with the men in our lives. How hard it is to forgive, let go, and move on.

The Connie said, "Maan, naisip kita kanina. Naisip ko na sana yung pagmamahal ni Red sayo, ganun din si Joven sa akin."

Then I asked Connie, "Mahirap ba talaga makalimot? Nakalimutan mo na ba yung ginawa ni Joven or naiisip mo pa rin?"

Connie replied, "Dati araw-araw kong iniisip. Ngayon, manhid na ako. Balewala na sakin."

Then I asked again, "So paano ba makalimot? Gaano katagal? Makakalimutan mo ba talaga?"

Then Connie told me something which very much enlightened me:

Mahirap talaga makalimot. Hindi yan agad-agad. Hindi mo rin masasabi kung gaano katagal bago mo makalimutan agad. Pero makakalimutan mo rin yan.

Bukas pag gising mo, maaalala mo sya. Sa susunod na araw, habang nag-tu-toothbrush ka, dun mo maaalala. Sa susunod naman, pagkatapos mo maligo. Hanggang sa matutulog ka na, dun mo lang maaalala. Hanggang sa once a month nalang. Hanggang sa hindi mo na sya maaalala. Or kung maalala mo man, sobrang paminsan-minsan nalang.

And for this, I salute Connie. Isa kang henyo.

Who is Maan?

---

Very talkative, very frank to the point of being tactless. Major hyper active and super kulit. Tampuhin, selosa and madalas may topak. Psychotic but bearable most of the time. Pakialamera. Addicted to those excel quizzes and surveys forwarded through e-mail. Have learned how to say no to FREE FOOD and resist the temptation of buffets. Listens to The Morning Rush with Chico and Delamar and is a major fan of Sex and the City. Fiercely loyal to friends (especially the under dogs). Can't dance, can't sing, can't act but very OA (Outstanding Actress). Doesn't smoke, drink nor do drugs but definitely a great girl to hang out with (sagot ko na ang kwento). Cynical on the outside but a hopeless romantic deep inside. Tries not cry over a guy but will shed buckets of tears while watching a movie. Escapes from the real world by reading books, watching movies,and tv shows. Dreams of travelling the world someday and joining The Amazing Race with a friend who knows how to swim, ride a bike and drive a car.
