How do you know you've moved on?
**********
Last Saturday night while in the middle of having dinner with some blog friends, I saw a familiar face.
He's cute. No, he's handsome. Emanates a sexiness, that was all too familiar. He's attractive, no doubt, but that was not the reason why I kept glancing back his way. I know that laugh. I know that face.
It took me a good five minutes to finally remember.
The guy I saw was Jason.
Once upon a time he was my obsession. I stalked the guy after something happened between us. After that steamy afternoon in my room. After my grandmother caught us in the middle of doing the dirty deed.
I still remember when his birthday is. That for two years, I anonymously sent him birthday texts, and call his landline just to hang up (I know, I was such a loser back then).
It all came back when I finally remembered who he is.
And all I could think about...
Meh.

He was one of the two UP graduates who made me cry. Who in a way broke my heart. I thought I'd feel something again after that.
But there's nothing.
I guess that's how you know you've moved on.

TRUE! I do agree, that we know we have moved on, when the reminders of our painful past no longer open our wounds or ache the scars of our beaten up hearts.
congratulations! clap clap!

"it's all coming back, all coming back to me now"
ang cute!
Engel,
Who knew, after all these years, you would meet again that night ?
So, you feel nothing?
Not affection, nostalgia, resentment? No fondness for the memory you shared? No sadness for all that might have been, and all that was and is no more?

p.s. So mahilig ka sa taga U.P.? =)
You've moved on when you don't remember, but rather reminisce; when you acknowledge rather than recognize.
Sometimes we just try to make ourselves believe.
i've been there. i know the feeling. :) parang pinipilit mong hanapin na meron, eh wala na naman talaga.
time really heals all wounds. :) glad you've moved on.
yet another jason.
oh, to reach the state of no longer feeling anything. it's what we all hope for.
yup have really moved on kung di ka na apektado pag nakita mo syang may ksamang iba. and kapag natatawa ka na sa sarili mo whenever you recall the crazy stuff u did when you were still obsessed with him :)
UP graduates. Hmmm. Always been fascinated by UP graduates.
coincidence that two up grads made you cry? uhmm, how about graduates from other schools? heehee. =)
I will just say AMEN to that. :)
How was the blogger meet-up?
Heard it was quite fun.
i think somehow it's instinct. in my experience, napansin ko na lang, naka move on na pala ko.
p.s.
nasobrahan ako ng isang "p" eh. pup ako. so di na pala ko qualified sayo. JK, lol!
tumpak,pag wala ng paki or wala ng kabog ng puso,congrats to ur heart na nun success ang paglimot!hehe
good for you. hi-5!
well good for you that you have moved on already..

Aantayin ko din yung araw na wala na kong mararamdaman. Kasi mahal ko pa din siya at ang sakit sakit na. Hahaha.

@johnstan: ewww. celine dion! :D
@darc: thanks.
@canonista: yup, although the past wasn't really that painful come to think of it. it was some childish infatuation when you think about it.
