About Me

From the small town I call home, Philippines
Hello, I'm Chai and you've never probably heard of me until now. I may be familiar to you because I've met you once when our souls crossed paths. In my past life, I was probably a princess living in Old England, or a World War II chronicler assigned to document the devastation in what is now called Turkey. I may have been a street urchin or a painter or an old Hollywood actress once. But the life I've chosen to hold on to is the life I'm living in right now and I'm glad I can share it with you.:)

A sad thought:

Regret comes--

--when you think you've done the right thing, only to find out mere moments later that everything will only backfire on you.

And contrary to popular belief, it doesn't take shape after you've eaten a gallon of ice cream nor after losing your virginity to someone you don't love.
...

Twisted analogy, I know. But tonight I want to write about regrets.

I usually don't make a habit of doing things that I know will make me feel better even if I don't want to, but this is one of those days when I wish I just didn't open my mouth AT ALL, let alone entertain the thought of wanting to make things right in the first place just because I'm SUCH a good person.

Sometimes, the isolation can prove to be such a bitch. I'd like to think that the only reason I'm on such a Mother Theresa-ish mood is because I have this longing to go back in actual society where people really interact and not wait for divine intervention to keep things going.

For a moment I made myself believe that trying my best to let my ego down will reap good things for me. Apparently, it's what other people try to shower that seed of humility with that makes or breaks the end product. It's so upsetting how selfish others can get when you so obviously try to renew your ways to make everybody happy.

Sometimes, doing the right thing hurts. And sucks.

And it's funny how feelings and perspectives change in 24 hours.

hahaha. i think i have a clue na?

i was tearing up for the same reason a while ago. some petty law school childish whathaveyou happened and i chose to ignore it. i hate fights. i avoid altercations. and mostly, i dont give up on people easily anymore.

doing the right thing hurts but it is very rewarding in the end. as i have been told once {and i've said this twice in 24 hrs already}, nothing worth it is ever easy. :D

Meh. I dunno. Life is a jumble of complications as we speak. I'd like to think I'm just being paranoid again, but certain events (and people) make it seem more real.

But how you said it made me feel better--"Nothing worth it is ever easy."

Thanks.:) I'll try to have a better day today.:) HUG!
