Unusual Day

February 2, 2014. Sunday. 7:30 P.M. Somewhere in Robinsons. Gym-check! Then thought to hangout here in my favourite spot to read and write. The last time I was here was for my birthday. It was Christmas all over and today it Chinese new year. I like it ‘coz I like celebrating ‘’whatever’’ in my own little and simple way. Now, I am having Buko fruit salad shake for this unusual day. ^__^.

 

It has been two months since I started going to the gym and for the first time I totally missed to bring my workout bra. I must have placed it on my bed and forgot to pick it up. Well, I ended up using my casual one which is now soaked in sweat and I couldn’t just wear it. I haven’t been out in the public without bra since I was in first year high school! In this country, it’s unusual for a woman to be walking around with their breasts almost bear. So I’m wearing an extra confidence instead. And for the first time, at this very moment, I am glad mine are not that big! Hahaha Well, if anyone notices (someone already did), at least I don’t fidget.

 

It’s rare for anyone to try approach me because I look serious, if not snobbish, when I don’t smile. That is what everyone says. So only those who know me have the guts to interrupt my peacefulness. And those who are not intimidated by my looks. Today, at the gym, someone approached me for the first time. She is Linda, a 40-year old new member, who is quite talkative but I didn’t find her personality to be irritating. She was making friends with me so we chatted while waiting for the next group exercise, Zumba. She is married and has three grown up kids, 2 boys and 1 girl. And the conversation, like any other, never missed the ‘’lovelife’’ part, so it goes something like this…

 

 

Linda: And you? Are you married?

 

Me: No. Not yet, at least.

 

Linda: Well, a lovely lady like you I’m sure you have a boyfriend.

 

Me: Well, yes and I broke up with him. I saw no future. I was the man in the relationship. I HAD to be the man. LOL

 

Linda: Good decision. Any suitor?

 

Me: Nope. Men upon seeing me, often if not always, assume I have a boyfriend who is crazy to let me go. So no one dares. I haven’t meet the one who is brave enough to man himself to me. LOL

 

Linda: (Laughing) He’ll come at the right time. I think you are wise but when you are in a relationship, just remember, to never stop looking after yourself ‘coz some men will forget your worth later. So stand your ground.

 

Me: Thanks. I will remember that. I’d rather be alone if I feel worthless anyway.

 

 

Then she talked about her relationships, past and present. Her story is quite something and I like the fact that she is sharing them. I really appreciate people who I meet in the highway of my life. They always have something to bring, no matter how small it may seem. Some stay. Some are passing by. They either taught my mind or touched my heart. I hope I have imparted something for them too. Something that is good to remember about.

 

Now, I’m cold and in need of a bra haha The shake is not helping my situation LOL Well, ‘til next unusual day, blogger! ^__^.
