i’m done.

THIRD friggin time this year, i’ve been dumped. this time by some french guy. he wasn’t even good looking. i was trying to “settle” - go for the nice, caring, sweet, decent job, around the same age, reliable yadayadyayadya but not good looking guy - i had developed a theory that good looking guys’ eyes wander easily.

apparently, my theory was wrong…..go figure……..it’s ALL men.

i MUST be doing SOMETHING wrong. why don’t boys KEEP me?!?

“Travelling with a companion, with a wife, with a girlfriend, always seems to me like birds in a glass dome, those Victorian glass things with stuffed birds inside. You are too much of a self-contained world for the rest of the world to be able to penetrate. You’ve got to go kind of naked into the world and make yourself vulnerable to it, in a way that you’re never going to be sufficiently vulnerable if you’re traveling with your nearest and dearest on your arm. You’re never going to see anything; you’re never going to meet anybody; you’re never going to hear anything. Nothing is going to happen to you.”

- A Sense of Place, Michael Shapiro

You are simply not lonely enough when you travel with companions…spells of acute loneliness are an essential part of travel. Loneliness makes things happen.

I feel so FREEEEEE

i am sooooo happy!!!! With absolute happiness, I tendered my resignation at the firm.

~~Quit my job~~
~~Buy a plane ticket~~
Fall in love

I have always loved traveling. I don’t care if I have to do it alone sometimes. If nobody wants to go with me, I don’t care, I will go anyway. My travels give me something to look forward to.

I have 3 weeks of holidays before I join the new firm. I am going to explore Eastern Europe. I love Eastern Europe. I wish I could marry an Estonian man.

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:27:09 +0100

For nearly one year worth of work i got a total bonus of xxx pounds. when the partner of my firm called me personally to tell me the bonus, i nearly fell off the building. it’s not even enough for me to purchase a decent air ticket back home!

i was in total shock.

i cannot believe that they can even give out a bonus as pathetic as this.

this is beyond INSULTING.

even if my previous firm, which i thought was shit, even during the worst of the recession even an idiot would get at least 5 times more, obviously if not more.

granted, we are just glorified powepoint and excel monkeys.

STILL!

they released the list of people promoted through email. i was not one of them. i could count the number of people on my fingers. which is pretty much 0.000000002% of the whole company?!?!

i hate this job and this company………………………..

i have never felt so stupid, useless and disrespected in my career before. i have no friends in this company i have no one who “has my back” i have nothing to look forward to work each day. if my social life weren’t so awesome, i would have gone INSANE a long time ago!

I did it once, can i do it again? (via onlyhappythings)

I met another boy. wow that was fast haha. good for me.

he is also a pakistani. FAIL!!! why do i keep meeting paki guys? I’ve never known a single paki guy b4 I came to London! There seem to be sooooo many pakis and muslim guys in england………and woooo alll sooooo cute!!!

FAIL!!!

this one embodies the stereotype of a muslim pakistani guy i think, i had in my head before i met my ex (who is an useless muslim since he smokes/drinks/sleeps around).

this one is a really really nice sweeeeeet guy. he is a gentleman, pays for all my meals, properly dines me. he has never drunk alcohol/smoked in his life and i suspect he must be a virgin. what a perfect human being!

but he said something very troubling the other day… we were talking about politics (YAWNZZZZZZZZZZZ) and he said “do you know of all the good things the Taliban has done? the western media does not show you all this, you must learn!”

I was so shocked i could barely speak.

DISAPPOINTED!

troubling to note he seems perfectly normal though, has a good job, seems like a really kind sweet guy.

i had a dream that i will marry this idiot. FML!

Sun, 19 Jun 2011 21:58:03 +0100

Arrrghhh i just feel like TOTAL crap. so the guy who i was so damn crazy about, dumped me and then called me to be “friends” and before I knew it, we were sleeping together again. And for some reason, i didn’t ask him whether we were a couple or not.

he hasn’t called/texted me in over a week, since i last slept over at his place.

i hate him, he was just using me all this while. probably wanting me to be his fuck buddy or “friends with benefits”.

ASSHOLE!!!!

One thing I have learnt is that just when you feel like giving up, when you feel like everything is going wrong in your life, you need to HOLD ON! hold on to that thread for dear life!!!!! Once you gasp that breath of air, you will be a stronger person.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

how i dealt with the break-up.

On the day itself (Exactly 2 weeks ago)

call all my girlfriends in my phonebook and bitch about the ex. ALL were in agreement that ex is a jerk and i should cut all contact.
deleted ex’s number, emails, messages.
did NOT cry
watched my favorite movie, which is a ridiculously dumb american comedy
slept

Woke up the next morning with a smile, work was craazzzzy the whole week thankfully. but anytime i got a free second, I thought of him.

Then, I ate and ate and ate, loads of chocolate, lots of fatty foods and drank lots of coke.

Oh and wine and vodka of course.

also got 2 new men, but didn’t sleep with them simply because I could only picture the ex kissing me.

along the way, I got not one but THREE calls from the ex. one to “say hi”, one to “say hi again” and one to “seek if I wanted to catch up over a bite”. ALL my friends were in unison to say it was just a booty call.

it just made me eat more and drink more. i’ve not eaten this much since i came to london!

my friend noticed this, and said I’m undergoing depression and should take care not to gain weight due to my sorrow.

Horrified about this, I went to weigh myself.

I was shocked to find that I had actually LOST 2 kg. I am now a grand total of 101 lbs (46 kg)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what’s happening??!?!?!?!?

the guy i was CRAZY about for the past 4 months broke up with me.

he called me on saturday and said “i think we should see other people”.

code for - i’m dumping u, bitch!

he accused me of cheating on him, which i did but there is no way he could have known, so I denied it.

he said, he’s been seeing other girls, which crushed my heart.

granted i cheated on him (yes, I did sleep with 2 other guys - one french guy and one american - but it all meant nothing to me), but it was only because i was SOOOO angry that he was deliberately ignoring me - hurting me deeply.

he said he doesn’t think there is anything in the long-term for us.

he may be right, but i think it was too soon to decide that. this is my SHORTEST relationship ever. i’m heartbroken, to say the least.

on the phone my voice cracked and he asked, are you going to cry?

I said no, and let out a wimpy laugh, but deep inside i wanted to wail my eyes out.

after i put down the phone with much dignity, I deleted the call I got from him (i had already deleted his number + all related data the previous week when i didn’t get any calls/texts) and prepared to cry but no tears came out. only my heart felt extremely heavy. i guess I don’t cry easily, even in the comfort of my own home.

suddenly i had the worst feeling ever.

I felt ALONE.

ever since i started dating him, i had neglected all my regular going out activities and any new-found friends i had in london.

it was only then i realised i had no one. i had alienated all my friends and family for the sake of a man i barely knew! and obviously he never appreciated me.

i had also neglected all my career goals/aspirations. and everytime he retreated from me, i just responded by hitting the club, getting drunk and getting another man.

i need to get back on track.

i need to straighten up my life.

this was a REAL wake up call for me.
