They Failed!



...One of the reasons I wasn't in the mood to blog the past couple of weeks was that my unico hijo Mark and GF Dee decided to terminate their 3 year-old relationship just because of failing to endure the downside of LDR ( Long Distance Relationship )...And come to think that Mark barely made it to his second month in UAE...Not, that they're perfect together, but all those years that they were "on", I've witnessed the ups and downs, and how they both managed to hang in there. I remember the last couple of days prior to Mark's departure to Dubai..It was very emotional for both of them, and even at the airport, everyone tried to hold back their tears seeing them clinging to one another up to the last minute. But I guess, youngsters these days have trouble dealing with physical absence, and despite the modern technology in communication, they are prone to further vulnerability to succumb to failure. They mostly cannot delay the gratification of their whims. Patience, as well as perseverance don't mean that much anymore, unless it's a matter of life and death...It's a waste of emotional investment. I liken it to stock market : When it's UP, it shoots like a rocket, and when it's DOWN, it plummets like a skylab...Hayz!

...And you know what's the hardest thing to do? TO START A NEW RELATIONSHIP ALL OVER AGAIN!...I am exhausted already, just thinking about it...But, oh well, that's their life

They're such a beautiful couple. Why does it have to end?

Honestly, what will become of me?
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me

But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less

I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon
So that they could die

Die, die, die

And the sun was wondering if it should
Stay away for a day ?til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling
And the clouds were dropping
And the rain forgot how to bring salvation
- N. Furtado

Elz,

It's so sad when my daughter went thru a break-up. I cried so much, it kinda brought back how her dad and i split up. It was so sad. And my niece w/ her bf of 6yrs. The guy cried so much to her mom and me. It was like we couldn't hold back tears!!!! Just the time wasted and it never became fruitful...

I must admit I was really in shock and disappointed...Come to think that they've not given each other the chance to even re-adjust was a major failure..She gave him an ultimatum to quit his job or else!...How can that be? Mark, even now is still on probation (6 months) after training...It's not something that he can just back out just like that.. You see, that's what happens when two "rotten" people fall in love...They are both super spoiled, but, they have to grow up..

I guess, jealousy on the part of the GF had something to do with it...She couldn't stand the thought of Mark flying or socializing with lovely, young co-FAs..She even removed him from his FB network...

Like I said, this was the best time for them to test each other's loyalty and sincerity...I wasn't expecting this break-up to happen this early...They could have given each other more time and valid reasons to call it quits..

Jo, sonny wants to fulfill his dreams while he still can because once he decides to settle down someday, he won't be able to fulfill them anymore. And being chosen as one of the FAs from among the thousands of applicants was a rare chance, so he grabbed that once in a lifetime opportunity...Was that a mortal sin?

Tess, it takes two to make a relationship work...My thinking is: Would it make any difference if they were engaged before sonny left? Would that serve as an "assurance" for the GF (unfortunately, now EX ) to hang in there? Or was the absence of a more solid "promise" that really tore them apart?

MIGZ, sa totoo lang, I'm always involved naman kapag Mark and Dee had major issues in the past 3 years...Para akong nasa gitna ng nag-uumpugang pader, because both of them will make "sumbong" and it is my nature NOT to side with anyone as much as possible, specially if I know that my sonny is wrong. And then, I also end up being so stressed out because I know my son...I guess, being a spoiled child, he has a low frustration threshold, and at times, gets very anxious and hysterical...

I know, Baby...and come to think, I was even planning to hold a birthday party for Dee this end of the month...She's like a member of the family already...I remember back then, when she and Mark had petty quarrels, she was like a Chinese. She'll show up in our front door very early morning just because Mark wasn't answering her calls. Now, all that, for nothing!

Elz,

The case with both my anak and neice they had promise ring. It wasn't in the cards. And so sad coz all the time invested in trying to make the relationship work. Kaya, i was crying so hard just couldn't believe it. Especially when they are so happy together each time you see them. I just don't get it life is so unexpected.
