Juan vs. Pedro

          So here is a very interesting love story that I had in mind for the past few days or maybe, weeks. It is all about Inday and how she chose between Juan (the guy she likes from the start) and Pedro (the guy she fell in love with because she thought she had no chance of being with Juan.)

JUAN 

          On the 2nd month of the year, Juan and Inday got  close after their common friend's birthday party. They go to mass, eat dinner and review together with their other friends - usual things that friends do. Inday's friends would tell her that Juan treats her more special and that Juan's feelings for her is so obvious. But Inday did not want to believe any of the good deeds Juan was showing. She thought that Juan was just really a good guy.

          Summer came, and they got even closer. They continue communicating each other by texting. And they still did even when school started. More people have noticed their closeness to each other, and still, Inday did not want to assume anything. Inday was very honest to herself, that she knew she has feelings for Juan. All she was waiting for is Juan to say what he feels.

PEDRO    

          Inday and Pedro have known for each other for a very long time already. They used to be schoolmates when they were still kids. Pedro had a crush on Inday when they were younger, but Inday never noticed his feelings for her, until Inday transferred to another school.
          On the 2^nd month (same month and same year Inday and Juan got close), Pedro saw Inday again. All those “butterflies in the stomach” feelings went back, and by the next month, Pedro made a move. He asked for Inday’s number, and they started texting, and started building a friendship.

When Pedro told Inday what he really feels towards her, Inday did not know what to do. She knew at that time that she likes Juan, but she also knew that being with him is quite impossible to happen. Inday made herself available and set aside her feelings for Juan. Days, weeks, and months had past, and Inday was able to move on, and later on, got together with Pedro.

____________________________________________

         Inday was actually happy being with Pedro, until one day she realized something. There was something lacking in their relationship. Aside from being away from Pedro, Inday realized that it is always Juan who is there for her. It came to a point that Inday was in need of someone at her side and it was Juan who was there for her. It made Inday realize that until that time, it was Juan whom she really likes. Maybe, she just set aside her feelings for him, and focus on Pedro, but it was never gone. Never.

            Juan never knew about Inday being in a relationship with someone else. Inday did not know how to tell him and her other guy friends. Juan could have heard stories about her being in a relationship but he did not believe any of them.

Until one day, Inday finally told Juan that she already has a boyfriend. She also told him her feelings for him, and with that, Juan also confessed. The two realized that they like each other at the same time but they were both scared to admit it.

        Inday had a hard time deciding who to choose between Pedro and Juan. Juan is the guy she likes from the start, even before Pedro came back to her life. She put aside her feelings for him thinking that there is no chance to be with him. Pedro is the guy who she knows loves her with no condition.

She knew to herself she wanted to choose Juan. But she thought that choosing Juan over Pedro will make her hurt the person who loves her so much. On the other hand, she knew that choosing Pedro over Juan means sacrificing her happiness.

At the end, Inday chose Pedro knowing that it is the right thing to do. She put aside her happiness once again because she cannot afford to see Pedro hurt, especially when there is no reason for her to hurt him.

"We had the right love at the wrong time..."

Quite an interesting love triangle story, isn’t it? Can I be a scriptwriter now? Hahaha. But hey, I think these things happen in real life. With that, let me ask you, would you do the same thing? Would you choose Pedro over Juan? And who do you think is this fault anyway? (Personally, I think it is Inday’s.)

So yeah, leave your comments HERE. And if you want me to reply, don’t forget to indicate your email address! J Thank you!

BATAAN TRIP: Daniel's 18th Birthday!

While everyone was getting nervous about their grades last Saturday, a friend of mine was celebrating his birthday. Last October 15, Daniel celebrated his 18^th year in this world.

To celebrate his birthday with us, he invited us for an overnight in his town in Bataan. We stayed there for 2 days (October 17 and 18) and were able to visit 3 provinces.

So here’s the story of our Bataan trip J

First, 10 of us all met up in UST.

Two cars were waiting for us. The first car was Daniel’s, and inside were of course himself, his driver, Neo, Yna, Maiza, Kim and I. The next car was Greg’s and inside were himself, his driver, Lim, Ten and Mike.

After making sure that everyone’s ready, the trip started, and the first stop was at Trinoma. There, we fetch Tim, and he joined Greg’s company. The next stop was at  Bulacan, and there, we fetch Simon who joined our company. Lastly, we fetch Luchi, who was waiting for several hours already at SM Pampanga. We had our late lunch at the mall where we ate at Burger King.

When we were finally complete, we went straight to Bataan. We first went to the resort, then to Daniel’s parents’ clinic where we met his parents. After meeting Daniel’s parents, we were asked to have merienda at their resto, Nico’s Bar. After filling our almost empty stomachs, we went back to the resort. The boys played basketball while girls had fun at the pool. When they decided to go back to Nico’s Bar, everyone went back to the room to fix themselves. It was kind of scary at that time because the rain was pouring hard which later on, caused the brownout. Most of the girls freaked out. But later on, the light went back.

At Nico's Bar

We had a great dinner at Nico’s bar. The food was great, and the band was also good. Right after the dinner, we left the resto and went to 7eleven and Mini Stop to buy drinks. When we arrived at the resort, we decided to take a night swimming first. Everyone was enjoying, especially the slide. J

After the night swimming, we all took a bath and prepared for the drinking session. Only Tim and I were the ones who refused to drink. We watched them play this game called Ring of Fire while drinking. The drunk ones were so funny.

Yna was the first one who stopped drinking. Maiza suddenly blacked out. Kim started speaking in English. Neo was quite loud. Greg was telling funny stories about his past. Lim and Luchi puked. And Mike, Oh Mike! HAHAHA he was so drunk that he slept on the floor.

Some boys played basketball after, while Maiza and Luchi stayed beside the court resting. Daniel and I were at the side, too, watching and laughing at them.

When almost everyone was sleeping, I decided to sleep too, leaving Maiza, Daniel and Lim taking care of Mike. I was sharing bed with Yna. She was so funny. She gets easily awakened by little movements. After 30 minutes of sleep, Yna was awake again saying she has headache, causing her not to sleep. I could not sleep either so I told her that I am going to buy medicines. She followed, and when Ten and Daniel saw us, they joined us. After buying the medicines, we went back to our room and got back to sleep.

When we got up, we ate our breakfast, took a bath and got ready to leave. We passed by Daniel’s house first to drop some of his stuff, then we went straight to Subic. After our lunch at Shakey’s, we went to Royal. Daniel gave 30 minutes for everyone to shop. After 30 minutes, we were all back in the car. Most of the girls bought chocolates, except for Yna who bought these cute paper plates and plastic spoons & forks. The boys bought a toy gun which they used to shoot us (us who were inside the other car) when we were in SCTEX already. =)))

At Shakey's in Subic

We passed by Nathaniel’s and then dropped off Luchi, then lastly headed to UST.

It was just an overnight but it was indeed fun.

Once again, thank you Daniel for inviting us! :D
