Mean in spirit
I opened my friendster account yesterday and saw that an ex-girlfriend of a college classmate wished to add me as a friend. I was really puzzled at this development because we never talked before, not even to acknowledge each other’s presence.
I accepted it and opened her site after. I got really disturbed when I saw that below her photo (she was in her bikinis and boy, was she hot!) the caption says “pak****t.” The word is a Filipino slang for f*ck and it’s a bad, bad word. In her shoutout there was a sentence that says “pawang katotohanan lang, (insert name of the current boyfriend here), pawang katotohanan lang (only the truth)”
Immediately, I knew that this was a hate account.
I’m tsismosa (busybody) enough to know that her relationship with my classmate ended on a sour note. And that her ex went out with her former friend whom she used to trust with her complaints and lamentations about her relationship. I think she felt very betrayed when she learned the two were going out.
Anyways, even when she got herself a new man, her former friend kept on texting her about staying away from her ex and to stop stabbing her in the back. Ironic, huh?
I think she wanted to get away from an asshole of a boyfriend and a freaky former friend that she kept her silence. Yet, despite that, something like a fake account in friendster comes up.
It just felt so cruel to me that something like that would be done to her. I talked to Patrick about it and asked him to give me her number. I said I would tell her about it because it’s just not right.
I texted her, gave my full name, told her about it and apologized for meddling. I did not receive a reply. I figured that she didn’t want to. Well, she didn’t have to.
A few hours later while Pat and I were having our dinner, he received a text from their common friend telling him about the fake account and that they suspect that the current girlfriend of her ex was behind it.
I would have to say I agree. Besides the motivation, all clues were leading to her. I wanted to ask that crazy girl what’s the matter with her. I mean something must be fuelling her wrath to do this to a former friend and her boyfriend’s ex.
These are my theories: 1) She’s insecure with her 2) She feels her bf still feels something for his ex 3) She can’t accept the fact that the other girl is over with him and has now a better-looking and most probably, a better boyfriend in tow 4) She has no friends to stop her from doing something as stupid as this.
Ooooh, it’s fun to speculate about other people’s lives! When I got home, I opened my friendster again and found that the poser account was deleted. I suspect whoever did this received a lot of threats and hate texts last night.
***Where does one get that kind of hatred? Personally, I get so mad at someone that I imagine myself slapping them hard on the face and kicking them in the stomach with all my might. That’s as violent as I could get.
Sometimes, I plot doable evil things against them, but when the moment has passed, I’m no longer interested in following through. It just takes too much energy to hate. Energy that could be used in front of the mirror, combing my hair and putting on moisturizer... or shopping, scrapbook making, designing stuff.
Speaking of hatred, I’ve been following the Virginia Tech Massacre for days now. I feel really sorry for the victims. But I feel sorrier for a country that wants its citizens to protect itself from guns by allowing them to have one.
In one CNN special, it was said that Cho wanted to surpass the Columbine Massacre. He succeeded. Congratulations! Not.
I wonder, how many more kids out there would want to follow suit and surpass Cho’s record? It’s a friggin’ contest where the targets are lives. Heaven forbid, but if this kind of massacre happens again, I hope the barrel points to the very people who support gun law.

i've hated a lot of people before. exes, bitchy gfs of my exes, pathetic neighbors but after a few months sometimes years, i forget the feeling. i become indifferent. sarap pala to see somebody who has caused you pain and not feel hurt or angry. hay naku, some people just do not have anything better to do with their lives. ang tagal na ng college di ba? ako good memories na lang naaalala ko. =)
good thing, wala pang nangyayaring ganyan dito sa phils. nakakatakot lalo na pag malapit sa loved ones mo. sana it won't happen again in the US or in any other country.
