Broken Promises
Are promises really meant to be broken?
I always ask myself if this saying is true. Sometimes I believe that its true or maybe people nowadays just don’t value the real meaning of the word PROMISE.
I’ve been disappointed a lot of times. You know when you get so excited for a gimik or something that you planned and then suddenly the night before or the morning of the said plan your companion is suddenly going to back out. I hate the feeling I feel after that call or text that our plans aren’t gonna push through. I mean don’t people even have the decency to call or text days before or maybe not make plans at all if they’re not sure if they really want to go or not. I hate this feeling because I sometimes do this to my other friends who really don’t deserve it. Maybe so I wouldn’t be a total loser that I’m the one people always get bailed on, sometimes I want to be the one who cancels an event.
I know you’re wondering why I’m suddenly interested in writing about this topic. Well, that’s because I’m still a bum! I’ve got a lot of time to think of a lot of stuff. So, I remembered my friend… we always make plans but guess what? Up to now no plan ever pushed through. Maybe it will take a while before a gimik is going to push through because my said friend left Manila. I wouldn’t say where because that would be a dead giveaway. The sad thing is weeks or months before she left she promised that we were gonna go out and spend time with each other. We kept planning, as usual… but you guessed it... plans never pushed through. It was very, very disappointing because every time we had a plan I keep the whole day free. I even kept one whole week free just in case she decides to have a spur of the moment plan to meet up but she didn’t. at the end of that week I received a text saying that she’s leaving the next day and she apologized that we didn’t have time to gimik. I just told her to take care and have a safe trip. Imagine we’ve known each other for a very long time since we were kids, when we were finally old enough to hang out we always make plans but as I said when our gimik day is approaching something always comes up. Let’s give it benefit of the doubt maybe it wasn’t really her plan to always ditch me or she doesn’t enjoy my company…
