Post Break-up Syndrome: 5 crazy things we do when he’s not anymore into you

We all have our love and loss stories, or drama to say the least. Yep, you are not spared from the theatrics so let’s face it. The word drama fits the tragic heartbreak story you, me and almost everybody has gone through at one point – like how the shoes fit Cinderella. You can bet your boos Cinderella either had the smallest or biggest size that it didn’t fit anybody.

       Well, I won’t be talking about shoes, let’s save that for later. But comparable to however big or small the shoe sizes were, are your own version of drama and its dynamics (Pa tam-is tam-is hibi, a dako-dako eye bags, etc.) But just how far have we gone, or are you going (I’m so sorry if you recently had that tsug tsug beat run slow and weak) until we’re kind of cool with it? With this posted as a question and something to ponder on, I had my own share or reminiscing. (Fade in: Reminiscing track. Fade under)  

Here’s some silly things we do. Guilty or not guilty, go find out! Read away!

1.      Stalk like a pro.

      If you’re still connected on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you’ll realize you’ve never visited his page as much as you do now. You follow itsy-bitsy updates like who he becomes friends with or recent places he’s been with who, why and why details of it through photo tags or posts itself. You become keen on who he hangs out with now (Is it still his old crew or are there changes?) Well, if you’re not friends anymore because lakas mo maka ampalaya plus (bitter) you deleted him or vice versa, you’d request a friend (common Facebook friend) to check out his timeline and still do the stalking. Until you discover recent and frequent interactions with a particular someone and it’s a she! Shebangs baby! But forget the bang, we won’t fast forward to that (HAH!) because this leads to…

2.       Compare and contrast

So there’s a new girl. Well, not totally a new girl perhaps but exchange of likes and timeline posts and comments are getting very obvious (You mentally keep records of likes and comments and even remember exactly what photos these were). So you start stalking the girl. And you start to compare who looks better, who’s smarter, what does she have that you don’t have or the other way around and end up either liking her or hating her. (I’d go for the latter). You hate, okay let’s use the word dislike. You dislike her like you dislike dropping your newly-bought GTech pen because it won’t work anymore (Odd analogy?) You look for faults and measures of qualifying yourself better than her or the best your ex ever had BUT if you obviously know she’s isang paligo, okay 10, better than you that you can’t find faults, you criticize her grammar.  Yes online grammar through posts and captions to the extent you mentally correct them and could almost smash it on her face. Hahaha. Even capitalization and spelling. Then you get the lead. Yay!

3.       Word of the day: His name or her’s. Yes, the new girl.

So you see common friends around especially his guy pals and instead of just letting it go spontaneous you speak a pitch higher than your usual when you mention his name. Well you don’t necessarily ask directly about his whereabouts (Curiosity to yourself) but make way to mention his name. When you talk to your girlfriends, it takes no longer than 3 sentences before you mention his name (again). Or her name and discuss how you are greatly in advantage or make fun or the mental corrections you made in her grammar. Hmmmn. Not good. Not good.

4.       Unknown caller

Thoughts about him with a new Significant Other were put at bay and focused on him so you remembered how lovely you were together and suddenly miss him tremendously you had to at least see his shadow or hear his voice. No chance to see him? No problemo. Borrow a friend’s phone, number unregistered to ex-boyfriend and ring until he picks up and you hang up. Wow, some new technique there sissy.

5.       Release your own MTV

No more wasting of energy on stalking, asking or calling and texting. You choose the perfect spot of the room. (The nearer the window with an open view and hustling hair blowing the hair is, much preferable) and hit play of the greatest bittersweet symphonies and melodies that tells the most heart-rending stories. Taylor Swift, perhaps? Yeeeeeee.

Sometimes all we need is a good cry. Let the mascara get smashed but dearie, never ever forget to retouch.  Focus on you, your strengths. Being a better person is waaaaayyyy applausable than a madiskarte ex.
