Not Your Ordinary Love Story

Prologue

Ano rin kung wala akong boyfriend? Does that make me any less of a person? Hindi naman requirement na dapat you are in a relationship para magpatuloy buhay mo. 

"Being in a relationship isn't that of a big deal naman eh. Seriously."

"Alam mo sinasabi mo lang yan kasi never ka pa nagkajowa. Hindi mo pa nararanasan magka love life" my friend blatantly said to me and laughed. "Ang sarap kaya na may jowa ka. Yung may nangangamusta sa'yo, ka cuddle ka, kausap gabi gabi, and stuff alike" 

I did have flings and kalandian. Hindi ba yun counted? Tsaka I have friends, I think they are enough for now,

Nakakapagod din makarinig sa paulit ulit na mga tanong ng mga tao sa paligid mo like 'bakit wala ka pang boyfriend?', 'kailan ka magboboyfriend?' and sometimes they make fun of you and tell you 'palibhasa wala kang jowa'. 

I hate it when people mock you just because you are single and they are in a relationship. 

I'm sorry that I am happy with myself, I am sorry na hindi ko kailangan ng boyfriend para sumaya. When will people realize na hindi lahat atat mag jowa. 

Bakit ko kailangan madaliin ang sarili ko? I wouldn't settle for any guy nor lower my standards just so I can call someone my boyfriend.

I rolled my eyes.

"Alam mo Veronica, isipin mo gusto mong isipin pero masaya akong single" 

I am happy, I really am. 

Pero... 

Minsan hindi ko rin maiwasang hindi mainggit. I can't help but wonder what if I also have a love story to tell or to share to my friends. Syempre I am curious din sa feeling to have someone you call your guy. 

Ang hirap sumayang single especially if you have friends na ipapamukha sa'yong single ka and you shouldn't be happy about it. 

Maybe relationship isn't for all of us... yet
