BEING A NINJA
a close friend of mine, who happened to be also my former classmate, sent me a text message asking for a favor.
"ano yun?"
"kasi may problema ako sa gf ko pare. she found out a 3rd party. pero sinabi ko break na kami. she’s not convinced. she broke up with me. pwede ko bang i-send sa kanya number mo as my 3rd party para ma-verify na wala na talaga kami nung 3rd party ko?"
"sori pare," i replied. "you are my friend. i trust you. but i will not engage myself in fooling girls. you know it’s your fault. so face the consequences of your actions. ninja tayo di ba? don’t be like the missing-nins. hehe."
"i understand tol."
"move on pare. yan na lang magagawa mo. pag makahanap ka na ulit ng bago, wag ka na magkaroon dapat ng 3rd party."
then i added, "kung galit ka sa akin ok lang."
"wag ka mag-alala tol, di ako galit sa iyo. i admit tama ka. it’s just that i feel so helpless. mahal na mahal ko gf ko tol. kilala mo ako, i don’t say i love a girl unless i really do."
"mahal mo pero ‘nangaliwa’ ka? di ko mareconcile. kaya mo yan. i dunno when but a day will come and you’ll realize nakatawid ka na."
"yun nga mali ko tol. i was in the porcess of settling a relationship with my previous gf nung naging kami. eventually, lately ko lang na-settle out yung isa. sad to say pero nalaman niya muna bago ko pa nai-share sa kanya yung about dun."
"oooh. that’s bad."
it has always been my motto that in everything you do, do it with full responsibility. face the consequences of your actions with full responsibility.
kaya mo yan tol!
