Conk me with a wrench if you want to, but this I got to share.  (I apologise to those who are very mushy when in a relationship.)
Gone are the scary times when I had to text some forty-something horny man. Here comes the frustrating times of dealing with a lovesick/heartbroken nineteen-year-old.

I have a guy friend who loves A Bathing Ape and hiphop music, but none of these are connected to what I'm going to share *hahaha*. This guy was very in-love with his girlfriend, so very in-love that he insists that he's loyal. And so very in-love with his girlfriend that it annoyed me too much.

Now you might be asking why I'm annoyed.

Read this and imagine this scenario.

Me: "Hey, 'musta na? (Hey, how are you?)"
That guy: "Eto kasama ko gf ko. (Here, with my girlfriend.)"

Next day...


Me: "Hey, 'musta na?"
That guy: "Eto natutuwa! Girlfriend ko kasi ang lakas maglambing! (Here, getting so amused! 'Cause my girlfriend is soooooo sweet!)"

Another time...

Me: "Oist, 'musta na?"
That guy: "Eto, kasama gf ko. Grabe...alam mo ba ang gf ko eh napakaganda at napakalambing sa'kin! Eto ako sa bahay n'ya, and she's cooking for me!...(I'm here with my girlfriend! You know what, my girlfriend is so pretty and very sweet! I'm right here at her house and she's cooking for me!...blah blah)

You know what? I'm absolutely pissed off. It's pathetic. I don't like it when one has to mention every single thing about his girlfriend. I mean, is there anything more can he share to me, besides his girlfriend? I don't care if his girlfriend's pretty or sweet, or funky, or intelligent! I even managed to mediate in their argument, just 'cos his girlfriend isn't openminded. She was insisting on something that she though as a "dirty joke". Yeah, whatever.

I stopped texting him. Whenever he texted me, I didn't reply. I was just wasting my time with him.

Suddenly, 3 days ago. I was eating my fave pancit canton when a I received a text message from him. Yes, him.

"Nizzie, please reply. I need help. Please. I want to die..."

So, ever the worrywart, I asked him what was going on.

"Niz. Break na kami ng gf ko...(Me and my girlfriend broke up)"
"Bakit kayo nagbreak? (Why did you guys break up?)"
"Nasasakal na daw sya eh. (She's all choked up.)"

Now the girlfriend thinks she's being smothered up by her boy.

"...and I want to die."
"Sige, magpakamatay ka't di na makakaalis sa lugar ng kinamatayan mo ang kaluluwa mo. (Go ahead and commit suicide. Your soul won't escape from where you died.)"

He replied: "Eh ano'ng gusto mong gawin ko? (What do you want me to do now?)"
I said: "Maghanap ka ng pwede mong gawin. (Find something to do)"
He said: "Kelangan ko s'ya...(I need her)"

I didn't know what to answer. His sadness is irritating me, but is very contagious.

The next day (yesterday). He texted me, asking for help again. He wanted me to find him a new girl. *slaps self on the forehead*

So I hurried up and asked help from my friend AJ, and he gladly sent me a mobile number by business card. It was my pretty classmate Eya's number. So I sent that number to my guy friend who-desperately-crying-out-for-help. To my amazement, Eya and my guy friend clicked. They are now text friends.

What's embarrassing to know is that my guy friend admitted to Eya that he's in-love with her! Eya was like, "OK".


He's broken-hearted, and emotionally-dependent---and I don't know what to do. I feel like I am annoyed and concerned at the same time.
