One fine Thursday evening, three friends (a plain but big-headed guy and2 gorgeous gals ;) ) met in a small shop along one of the streets of Metro Manila, to talk about some business and, of course, to keep up with each other's personal lives. Apparently, Lance just broke up with his girlfriend of 7 long years. Aubrey and Diana, both starving already, and thinking that he was such a big jerk for breaking up with her, thought that they need to talk about it over food. And so they went to the nearby KFC and ordered a bucket of original and hot and crispy chicken with four fixins just for the 3 of them. Here's some part of their conversation:
Aubrey: How long did you say your relationship was before you broke-up last month?
Lance: 7 years
Aubrey: Wow! And the nerve of you to be the one to break-up with her considering you're the guy. That hurts! For her, I mean.
Lance: I know. It's just that I woke up one day and thought that I had enough. I got bored. It just doesn't feel right anymore.
Diana: That was it? That's your only reason? That's so shallow!
Aubrey: You said you only see each other twice a week. How could you say that you've had enough?
Lance: Well, 7 years is a long time.
Diana: Exactly! It is a long time. A long time for you to waste.
Aubrey: Is it final? I mean, don't you think you can still get back together?
Lance: I don't know.
Diana: So what do you do nowadays? You go out on dates?
Lance: Yeah. I go out on dates. A friend of mine even gave me a text mate. The girl was texting me but I wasn't replying. And then I looked at her friendster account, it was set on private, so I only saw her primary photo. She was pretty in the picture. But what if she was gay? I mean I only saw her face in the picture besides, a lot of gays out there look pretty. I had to see her in full. So I added her as a friend, she accepted it, and when I saw her pictures, gosh, she's a winner! She's even a contestant at a bikini contest. Plus she have big boobs. Then I frantically started texting her, sending her quotes, but she wasn't replying to me anymore.
Aubrey and Diana: (Laughs) Maybe whe she saw your pictures, she couldn't take it. Nyaha!
Lance: I even told her, "why aren't you texting me anymore?". But she's texting me now once in a while. We'll see.
Aubrey: Did you try to ask for a guilt-free pass from your girlfriend before? My boyfriend's asking me for a guilt-free pass, jokingly, or not. I told him I'll never give him one.
Lance: No. I didn't need to. Because even when we were still together, I'm free. I can do whatever I want. She wasn't prohibiting me from doing anything. She gave me that freedom. But I didn't abuse it. Although right now, I'm sorta having an unlimited guilt-free pass. My friend saw a receipt from Baclaran Apartelle and he asked me how I got it. I told him I just picked it up somewhere, coz I needed receipts for my reimbursements.
(Laughs)
Aubrey: Eeww! Of all places, why do you have to go to Baclaran for a quickie?
Lance: We went to church.
Diana: What, you went to church after to wash away your sins?
Lance: No. I went to church first to ask for forgiveness for the sin that I was about to commit.
(Laughs)
Aubrey: That's how you go on dates?
Lance: Don't be such a manang! That's how things are nowadays. We live in a liberal world.
Diana: Oh, please!
Lance: Anyways, when I remember what happened to us, I still get sad. I feel like I wanna cry. But it's different from our first break-up. This is our second break-up, you see. When we first broke up, I really cried hard. This time though, I'm sad, yes, but things are much easier to bear. She went to my shop one day to talk. She said she want a smooth break-up. She wants closure. And we had it. She told me that even though I'm like this, you know, she was happy when we were together. (teary-eyed)
Aubrey: Wtf! Don't tell me you're crying?
Diana: He is crying. Look at his eyes! Oh, please, stop that. I feel like laughing so hard.
(Laughs)
Lance: 7 years
Aubrey: Wow! And the nerve of you to be the one to break-up with her considering you're the guy. That hurts! For her, I mean.
