Fashionably Late and Tasteless

Dear Diary:


Today I had the chance to chat with three of my colleagues. Juene, Sila and Mar.
Juene was actually dropping by to visit Sila and Mar before she's off to university to study.

There, Juene talked about her ex whom everyone kind of despise and angry at.
They asked me if I ever met him somewhere for the past few weeks. So I admit yes at the Mall last Friday.

To be honest, I kind of forgot who he was. He said hi to me, to be polite I said hi back to him. For an hour I kept on asking myself who he is, until I arrived at my place then I remembered.

Anyway, the point is, We were having this talk about relationship. How happy Juene is with her new partner. How she won't change any of her partner appearance. So I said, he's too simple and floppy.

There Mar interrupted our talk.
"Believe me, you don't want to change anything. you'd rather keep they way it is." She said.
For 5 years she had to hide who she really is in front of her ex in order to impress the partner and his family.

After that, the whole story turned into me as I am too choosy and materialist to them. So I asked why and how.

It snapped for awhile how true what they said are.
I prefer my partner to be fashionable. They agreed.
I prefer my partner to be rich. They agreed.
I prefer my partner to be good looking. They agreed.
I prefer my partner to be understand me. They totally agreed.

They were few statements they said about me which are true in a way.
I told them, I keep this Locman watch from my ex. It's nice so I am still wearing it.
I have a few of his shirts that he can't wear. I decided to alter them first to fit my size and taste.
I keep a few of his books in me, still inside my room.
Then I kept on hinting him before about this Nike bag that I ended up buying myself after the big quarrel. I need therapy.

All they can say was, They are not surprise!

Hey! all the stuff were after we broke-up what.

They advised me not to change a single thing about our partner. You'll end up hurt in the end as it boosts their confidence and to better looking. What??!!!

Maybe this is now and I keep it to my mind for my future reference.

Thank you diary...
