10 Good Facts of Being Single

I AM S I N G L E!!! I'm not bragging to anyone that my relationship status is currently single and for that, I want to be courted, because, to be honest with you I am not ready. Lol

Having been single, I realized several things. Candidly, it feels strange to be alone, doing things on your own without someone who used to be there for you, is quite depressing. Yeah right! I must concede, sometimes I feel that and I bet most of you here have been through this.

It’s unexplainable yet you cannot dodge from this agonizing circumstance. It’s actually nerve-racking but you can't do anything. You really have to endure the pain and get used to it. Being single makes you so melodramatic. You prefer to be on your own, resort to different kinds of defenses, you’re constantly in deep thought, at times unfocused, likes to listen more to sentimental songs, watch love story movies, and read quixotic pocketbooks. It also makes you startled and makes you weep most of the time. You even experience sleepless nights, tardiness from your usual routine, forget to eat or lack of appetite (but in my case I love to eat more than I usually eat). You keep on denying that you don’t have feelings anymore to your X, but the truth is your sort of regretting that you decided to break up with him and even thinking if you ever made the right choice.

(Perceptibly, these are my sentiments)

On the other hand, allow me to share ten (10) good facts of being single. Further down are the following facts I grasped of having no boyfriend for a month now:

First:           SUBSTANTIVE TIME FOR MY SELF: because I love so deeply, I don't have any more time for myself. Oftentimes, I give my whole time to the one I love forgetting that I should also spend time for myself. But it's absolutely typical. Once you love someone, you will always give much time for the person you love and you completely overlook the things you should do because you prioritize first the one you love more than yourself. Right now, I have so much time for myself and I can do anything I want without considering someone.

Oh! its ME

Second:        UNLIMITED MOVIE MARATHON: I'm addicted to movies. I can watch movies from dusk till dawn. Then sleep for awhile and then watch again. (laugh)   Before, I cannot do movie marathon since I have to entertain my boyfriend.  He would resent if I’ll choose watching movies rather than talking to him. But at this moment, no one could stop me. I can watch unlimited movies any time I want.

I love Walt Disney 

Third:           CATCH-UP WITH THE NOVELS I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH READING     (specifically, Harry potter book seven and Breaking Dawn): I also love reading books but to tell you frankly, once I started reading I couldn't control my eyes from falling asleep. That's why until now, I couldn't finish reading the books I should suppose to read due to my sleeping habit and of course due to my X boyfriend’s demand. Since, I am on my own now, I can catch-up any time from reading and one thing is for sure I'll soon be done reading it.

Catching up

Fourth:        EXTRA TIME TO SLEEP: as I have said, sleeping is my habit. Customarily, my X boyfriend and I argue because I used to sleep. He hates me when he’d come to the house and while we are talking and watching TV or movies, I eventually sleep. He’d always complain and grimace if he would see me in deep sleep. Its good thing that since I am not in a relationship, I can sleep every time I want to sleep without bearing in mind that somebody will grumble.

Love to sleep

Fifth:          BONDING MOMENT WITH MY FAMILY:  I never have the occasion to bond with my family when I was in a relationship. If there’s an occasion that I’m with them, it’s definitely once in a blue moon. I’m always ousted with family outing for I will choose to be with him than to be with my family. I have come to a realization that family should be first. It's indeed blissful to be with your family and share your laughter with them. So, I am now on the process of bonding with them.

Sixth:        STARTING TO DEVELOP MY POTENTIALS: this is in reference to blogging. In truth, I am not confident to share my ideas and express my thoughts and emotions to others. I know that I’m not good enough to flaunt what I have. I used to write by my own self and usually put my writings into scratch papers without somebody reading it. I know I am not so good when it comes to communication both oral and written but I’m aware that I can do a lot of things averagely. I do believe that our Creator purposely plan this. When my relationship status becomes complicated, a real friend of mine introduces me to the blogging world. Then it makes me decide to try this out. At any rate, there's no harm in trying. I’ll see for myself if I’ll enjoy the new world or not. I also realize that I should come out from my shell and see the other side of the world. I have to try to do new things and not to be comfortable on the things I usually do. It's now the time to change myself for the better. Thanks to Ate Mayen, she enlightens my mind to enhance my unrevealed potentials.  Though, I know I'm not good, nonetheless I'm happy that I can do this thing. I never really expected that I could come this far. I’m a frustrated writer, anyway.

Broadening my horizon

Seventh:      REVIVING TO PLAY STRING INSTRUMENTS: I used revive because it's been a long time since I was able to play string instruments. I'm a music lover and basically I know how to play guitar and bandurria (a flat-backed instrument with five double courses of strings). I was a Rondalya member during my elementary years and started playing guitar when I was in high school. For the past three years, I seldom played guitar. I bet you know the reason, my life revolves with him. I don’t have any regrets, but I just thought of, I certainly miss playing guitar.

This is my favorite past time

Eight:          CREATING POEMS AGAIN:  I'm not only a frustrated journalist but I'm also a frustrated poet. Forgive me dear bloggers, sometimes I'm not sane. Lol

A long time ago, I fabricated poems. I actually have compilations of poems but sad to say, someone get it from me.  I will start again from making poems and I assure you, I’ll let you read and be updated as soon as I’ll be able to make it.

I'm into poetry

Ninth:        EXCITED TO ENROLL FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER: I'm taking up Bachelor of Laws. I'm still an incoming fist year this semester because I still have first year units to take but hopefully by  2nd semester I’ll be 2nd year if I’ll be able to pass all of my suicidal subjects, so cheers to that. Anyway, I'm excited for the next semester because it means that I will be busy and I wouldn’t think of him most of the time. I’ll have productive days again and my boring days will turn to days of tedious reading. Albeit, it's mentally draining and it’s suicidal but I'll be happier than to entertain my silly emotions. I will probably have chaotic schedule, meet up terror and hilarious professors, drink cobra every night, read until three in the morning (very rare =)), sleep most of the time because I'm already tired and reading is my liquor. HEHE!! But above all, I’m excited to learn new articles and statutes (law) and to tell you sincerely, I love my chosen field of profession, though it’s rigid but I intend to do the best that I can to graduate. I know God will make a way to fulfill my dreams.

I'm studying here at the College of Law 

Tenth:       MORE TIME TO BE WITH MY REAL TIME FRIENDS: well, I don’t have much time too to be with my real time friends. I won’t discuss it further because there’s only one reason behind it. But most importantly, I have more time to be with them right now. We have communications, although hardly ever. Nevertheless, I’m happy that despite the distance we could still greet each other and bring up to date with our experiences.

My lifetime friends (the nurses)

Thank you for reading my blog. Hope you enjoy and hope you learn something from here.

Have a blessed day to all of you.
