TORPE
By:Monching



Di masamang magkagusto at lalong di masamang magmahal Ng totoo pero bakit pag tayo nagkagusto at nagmahal Ng totoo natotorpe tayo? Ung tipong lage ka na lamang nananahimik sa isang tabi pag parating sya at lage ka na lang naco conscious sa sarili mo at feeling mo napakapanget mo. May pagkakataon ding pag tinitigan ka nya bigla bigla ka na lang yuyuko na parang may ginawa kang mali, unting kilos mo lage ka na lang nag-iisip na kung tama ang gagawin mo o mali, para tayong babae parang “Maria Clara” takot na takot magpakita sa mga lalake.HEHEHEHEHE.nakakatawa talaga ang pinagagawa natin tuwing tuwing nandyan sys. Kelangan pang magpapogi, mag mukang fresh, ung mabango pa impress kung baga. Naghihintay kang sabihin sayo “Ang Yummy mo naman” ay di pala ganto pala “Iba ka ngaun ah?” mapapaYES ka sa ligaya, kakalabog ang iyong puso, lalakas ang kaba.HEHEHEHE. pero hanggang pasalamat ka lang tapos wala na hanggang dun lang. Di mo alam kung pano sisimulan ang conversation mo sa kanya, sa dami dami Ng sasabihin mo ay parang script na di mo inaasahang makakalimutann mo dahil sa pressured mo kala mo ang kausap mo ay ang mga audience na pinapanood ka habang nasa entablado, Kahit di mainit ang panahon at di ka natatae ay pinagpapawisan ka sa sobrang uhmmmm..Torpe. Ung patawa mo sa ibang tropa, kahit corny joke mo di mo na mailabas sa kanya, wala narin ung common sense mo masyado kang seryoso hanggang lumiit ung ulo mo sa kakasalita nya. ANO KA BA PIPI? ORAS NA PARA MAGPAKATOTOO KA NA, HAYAAN MONG MAGUSTUHAN KA NYA SA PAGIGING IKAW MO!!!!! Try to be your self wag kang pa winky winky tulad Ng iba dyan. Alam mo ang tunay na pag-ibig madali lang ang biyahe kaya pag dumaan sayo parahin mo at sumakay ka…. Kasi baka dina bumalik un, cguro babalik pa….. Pero pano kung may sakay Ng iba? Sasabit ka na lang ba? WHAT A QUOTES. HEHEHEHEH..Wag ka Ng totorpe torpe kung ayaw mong maging sabit. Isipin mo na lang na may babae ring torpe na di rin maamin ang tunay nilang nararamdaman. XENXA sa mga natamaan sa ginawa kong eto. Kahit naman ako ay ganito isa ring hamak na TORPE, kaya lang ako sumulat Ng ganito upang mang gising at ipaalam na magpakatotoo lang tayo. Cguro nga ayaw lang nateng makagawa o makapagsalita Ng ikababadshot nila sa aten…..Sa tingin mo????

She was the leading lady of a class-produced film were I was the director. Actually, she voted me to be the director, for which I became grateful later on because we spent a lot of time together. As we were making the script for the short film, we were making a story for ourselves as well. But of course for a good story to be a success, there has to be some type of conflict or complication. Although it was not easy to build one for our characters it wasn’t at all difficult for us. At that time I was having an affair with my brother’s girlfriend and she was harboring romantic feelings for her best friend’s boyfriend. Quite aware of the predicament we placed ourselves in, we found ourselves confiding on the pains of unrequited love and guilt of betrayal. Before we knew it, we were falling in love with one another.

Like all the first days of shooting a film, everybody was excited. There were expectations and uncertainties of how the film would come about. So were we. The truth is, I did not know what to expect of us. I was pretty positive I was not ready to let go of my previous affair and so was she. But like a low budgeted film, we could not afford to be fussy. We learned to compromise, we needed each other. We even perfected our act. To everybody we were a good match. But like in most love team, the façade fades and you find yourself genuinely in love with one another.

It was an invigorating experience, to be stripped off of pretenses and be truly in love. Of course there were the ups and downs as one could be expected but we rose above it all. When my sister told me we will not last for a year, we proved her wrong. To prove it, we moved together a short time after.

Just when everything was going great with us, my mother dropped a bombshell. I was set to leave for the States in a matter of days. By then I was already living with her for a year and a half. I should be happy, I know, that was an opportunity of a lifetime. I will get to make something of myself that I don’t think I could do if I stayed. So I left with a huge block in my shoulder, leaving her in tears with a promise that everything will be okay.

A wise director would know that in editing a film, he should be present to ensure good come-out. Honesty and communication is vital when you’re tying to get a feedback on your colleagues. With lack of proper direction, the film will not turn out good. In my case, I cheated on her & left her hanging with my broken promise. I left her to edit our love story. I got edited in the process, me and my infidelity. We still talk every once so often but I know I can never mend the trust that I have broken. I’ll forever be regretful that I have let go of the one person that truly mattered the most to me.

The author is still very much in love with her but have no wish at the moment to persuade her to give it another shot for the fear that he might hurt her again. They’re now best of friends, believe it or not, thanks to her understanding and forgiveness.
