1. In hope and anticipation that Pretty Boy would call me to say good-bye and possibly be able to see me before he left, I set both my alarm clocks, woke up early and sprung out of my sheets at the crack of dawn.
2. Got lucky... around 7:50am he texted me and told me to meet up with him.
3. His bus was scheduled for 8:30am and so we didn't have much time together but I was none the less very thankful that I got to see him one more time. We sipped on coffee together and then he kissed me goodbye.
4. Ran as fast as I could in my stilettos to the street light where I knew his bus would be turning at. There it was, his bus. I waved to him and then ran home. I could feel the tears swelling up and I was ready to burst... and sure enough, I did.
5. I tried to tell myself that everything would be ok, after all, he's only 2 hours away... ONLY?! Two hours is a lot when you consider it means I may only see him once a week.
6. Tried to distract myself by making a video about my house and then by cleaning out my clothes closets. That only worked to waste a couple of hours but didn't really work to take my mind off of Pretty Boy.
6. How appropriate... it started to rain. It poured so bad actually! It rained all day and so I curled up in my covers and went back to bed.
7. I was supposed to go to the festival today with Pretty Boy but, well, that wasn't going to happen. Hannah's band was supposed to play but it got rained out. None the less, Je Min told me to come out and so I headed out in the pouring rain. It was like a flood on campus! I looked for Je Min for a bit and then gave up.
8. Ended up running into my coworker, Peter. He convinced me to come meet his students over in their science festival tent. Je Min called and called my phone like a madman but I didn't feel like being around anyone I knew. I mean, I just wanted to be left alone and, although I was with Peter and his students, they didn't know me and so they couldn't read that I was sad.
9. Peter's students got pretty loud and pretty drunk... that was my exit cue. I wanted nothing more than to go home and curl up on the blanket with Pretty Boy. I knew he wouldn't be there though and so I was forced to go back to a quiet, lonely home.
10. Pretty Boy called me and it felt so good to hear his voice. For the few minutes that we talked, I forgot all about him being so far away. But then the call ended and I was once again alone.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
When can I see you?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.
-- Lamartine
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Yo Bram!!!
You really liked the video?! ... Great! I loaded it up, edited and then after I posted it, I realized you can't really see the titles I added on the screen.
Hmmm....
As for me in motion... hehehe, sounds so funny.
I miss Pretty Boy so much and it's only been two days. I talked to him last night and, by the sounds of it, he's having a hard time. I'm relieved. Not that I want him to have a hard time but it'd really suck if he was having a blast and had forgotten about me.
As for turning out like your parents, I know you definitely mean well but it'd be better if minus the divorce. I know what you mean though.
So, how are you?
well as for the divorce, i think my dad hadnt been in that place of "i think im in love" then been heartbroken then knew wut real love was, but i know you know what it is (i think pretty boy does too?) but, ya, you know wut i mean. im ok, saw my psychiatrist FIANLLY today. we had a talk and it was intresting. i have all these depresson and anger problems. especially with what Tia told me...im in that state where i reall need a girl to have a crush on to have something to look forward too but i dont have one. its kinda rough. hopefully ill be able to post about it this weekend.
luv,
