for some reason, people–women to be exact–who were linked to me in the past, somehow can’t seem to stay there.  i mean, not that i don’t have anything against old “flames” coming back, it’s just that when i finally have moved forward from a painful relationship that never materialized in the first place, these women magically crop up out of nowhere and catch me when i least expect it.

 

first incident:  this past saturday afternoon after logging in to check my friendster account, i was surprised to see “new messages” link on my profile home page.  now, rarely do i communicate through friendster so, i was quite elated and immediately clicked on the link.  it came from someone named “anghelica,” and the subject read, “hi!!!”  the thumbnail image beside the name contained a group picture, so i didn’t get to see who exactly was she.  i barely remember anyone with that name, so i curiously checked what the message was about.  translated, the exact entire message read:

 

 

only a few people who are my real friends knew my family.  i then clicked on the name to check out the profile.  the main picture on the profile was still hardly recognizable due to the number of people on it, so i didn’t get to see where she was on that group.  but one photo on the picture gallery caught my eye and i immediately realized who it was.  it was donna, whom i last spoke to–well, through text–around the same time last year.  well, it wasn’t really quite on positive terms as the exchange of messages were kind of in an argumentative format.  she’s the same donna who, weeks after the exchange of those messages, i came to find out (through friendster nonetheless) that she got married.  i guess some of you who regularly follow my blog remember her, or how i put her up in quite a pedestal.  yes, it was her.  i kinda lost track for a couple of seconds after realizing that the message came from her, and then thought whether i should reply or not.  after giving it some thought that it’s been one year since our last “conversation,” and that she’s already married and there’s no way that a relapse of what happened a couple of years ago would happen, i decided to reply back.  it was a short reply, agreeing with her that it has been a long time since we’ve last spoken to each other and jokingly added that she got married and all without her telling me.  i also included my mobile number for good measure, since she first offered hers and ending it by telling her that she can call or text me anytime “as always.”  to tell you the truth, i’m not expecting anything out of that.  i mean, i got used to her “disappearing acts” before, so it’s nothing new.  it’s no big deal if she does or doesn’t contact me.  the only burning question is “why?”  why the sudden re-emergence?  why the sudden contact?  just like with the hundreds of other questions i have had with other women in my past, these would surely end up being unanswered, even in wishful thinking.

 

second incident:  a text message arrived on my mobile phone just before i was about to have lunch.  unlike the first incident, the message was a simple, “how are you?” translated in the vernacular.  and, unlike the first incident, this came from that, uh, how did i describe her in one of my previous postings?  hmmm, let’s see…  a “no-good, stupid, social-climbing, paris hilton-feeling, slutty whore-bitch.”  yep, that’s her.  the HR girl named candee.  there, i finally mentioned the name for the whole wide world to know.  and my reaction to her message?  pressing the delete button and eating my lunch.  good thing i didn’t lose my appetite.  ’nuff said about her.

 

it has been a weird (long) weekend and a weird start of the week so far.  “expect the unexpected,” as they always say.  but speaking of women, i’ve been thinking of having my own list of who in my book are the 10 most beautiful women in the world.  it’s a fantasy list i would aptly name, “markie’s angels.”  sounds corny, but i couldn’t think of any other way to describe the dream women for me.  and to give you a hint, the number one on my list right now is not filipina, though they so far dominate my list.  once i have it all figured out and finalized their rankings, i’ll take time to post them here complete with information, pics, and a short explanation as to why they are on that spot.  i’m single, so i guess it’s time to make this blog a single guy’s blog.

 

i guess my chances of having a relationship will be the same as me getting to have a date with any of the women i have on that list:  none.
