LIVID

"No dear, I'm not mad, I'm LIVID!"

My bestfriend Abby used to say this a lot back when she was still living in that Land of Promise called America. Right now this best describes how I'm feeling about another friend's insensitivity and stupidity. A heartbreak I can take, but not a friend's betrayal.

And to you dear friend: Just because I choose to be nice to you all the time doesn't mean that I can't see right through you and your schemes and just because I don't sleep around like you do
doesn't mean I don't have the capacity to understand what's going on. I've always been smarter than you could ever hope to be so don't think you can put one over me. Just remember, even the most foolish guy can distinguish between dross and pure gold. Now he may be foolish enough to choose dross over gold but he sure knows what he's getting. As they say: "Lamang tyan din yan!" It's nothing to be proud of.

WARNING:

I am not nice. In fact, nice is the last word my real friends would use to describe me , so if I'm consistently nice to you, beware! I probably don't consider you as a real friend.

I've never denied the fact that I'm a brat. I'm selfish. And if you think that I'm childish because I choose to give in to my bratty nature then so be it. But just because I'm bratty doesn't mean I don't have what it takes to be profound and mature. I'm just being true to myself. I have already accepted my strengths as well as my weaknesses.

But I'm wasting my time here--you just don't have the capacity to understand. So, never mind!
