And so said a friend when we were having an early
lunch today at this one dive Chinese restaurant on
Harvard.



How do you know that you've outgrown it, I asked.
(The topic at hand was womanising, by the way.)

Oh you just do, he said. For instance, you just stop chasing after women and just stick with one, he explained.

And then I told him, I don't like guys who think with their d..... (That's a five-letter word and it rhymes with kicks, ticks and hicks.)

That is just so boring and such a turn-off, I confided.

Not that I'm a saint, of course. HELL NO.

But the key phrase, I think, is honest effort.

I mean, you just don't roll over and play dead and succumb easily to temptation without, ahem, putting up a good fight.

And I don't know why but some apparently think that I have a lot more interesting life than I really do. If people only knew how boring, tedious and monotonous my life can be. Anyway...

Interestingly, I was talking to Riace last night. And he was like, you made an unauthorised trip. You told me you weren't going to anymore, he teased.

And I was like, I really wasn't. I missed my original flight, in fact.

And then I asked, what do you care? You're only my Plan B if at all. And I'm like what, your Plan Z? Womanising twit.

Riace is somebody who I used to see, but we managed to stay friends (he's my self-proclaimed permanent temptation who I've resisted getting back with since we broke up). In fact, we probably, ironically, gab and chat more now that we're just friends. When we were seeing each other, there were all these tension in our communication, like all these implicit and unspoken expectations or something!

Anyway, before I left on a brief holiday to spend time with My Future Dot Dot Dot, Riace was like, but you can't go. You're supposed to be on a rebound.

And I was like, how presumptuous.

And then I added, trust me, Riace. I'm not on a rebound.

And he was like, man, you get over people easily.

Ouch.

But if he and others only KNEW how sentimental I can be. But it's just not something that I show everyone. Sentimentality to me is sacred, so it's really not something that I'm comfortable showing to people readily.

Anyway...

A good friend of mine who knows what's going on had a good talk with me over the weekend. And "Frederika" was like, you do know that "Dickie" will always be "Dickie," don't you? I mean, you know, he's handsome, young, charming and spoiled.

And you might be "Marge" to him and be the one he'll introduce to people and show around, she added. But there'll always be "Silvanas" he'll hide and not just one "Silvana" but PLENTY of them.

Ouch.

Are you really prepared for that, she asked.

More ouch.

Anyway, I think that it's funny that she used those character names because "Marge" always knew what happened in the end even though she couldn't prove it.

And they might have just dismissed her as some hysterical, paranoid and suspicious girlfriend from all the madness and the frenzy.

But she knew. Oh, she knew.
