Not ready to love

Naming a blog post can be difficult, especially for a blog like this, where I normally write about daily/trivial/boring stuff. (So you guys have nothing better to do than to read my blog? LOL)

It's especially at times like this that I feel like writing.

I am feeling kinda lost. I hope by writing i can somehow straighten my thoughts a bit.

Woke up.
Had breakfast. (Two slices of multigrain with Nutella plus Coffee)
Lazed around a bit on the bed, checking phone, FB, instagram, twitter, emails, whatsapp, etc.
Washed up.
Went to work.
At work, did a bit of this and that. Lazed around, bought lunch and ate in the office. Lazed around, finished work.
Tried to nap. Ex msged me.
Can't sleep.
Feeling weird.
Feeling disrupted.
Had dinner. Didn't feel like studying.
Wanted to play Dota, but had internet connection problem.
Fixed problem. Insisted on playing at least a game.
Feeling guilty.
Had shower. Writing this now. And it's 11.20pm already.

I did a rough calculation the other day. I am spending at least RM 4500 a month to live here  study here. Yet, I don't think I deserve this kind of lifestyle.

For the past two days, I had been doing pretty well with reading the materials I have to go through for my project. But not today.

Tomorrow at 1pm, I am meeting with my supervisor. I wanted to impress her. I always have some sort of ideal, ambitious goal. But somehow, I will get distracted, mood got affected.

My ex is back in Sydney. I told him I couldn't make it tonight because I had to study. Well, turned out I couldn't study.

With my ex, the feeling is mixed. At night, when I go to sleep, I will still think about him from time to time, quite frequently actually. Think about his smile, his boyishness, and the good things. It's probably a way to calm myself down so that I can fall asleep feeling loved and peaceful.

But at other times, I would be reminded of those bad times with him. I will think about 2013, how stupid the year's been for me, or rather, how stupid i was in 2013.

On one hand, I wanted to hug him and sex with him, on the other hand, probably the more logical side of my mind, I know I probably shouldn't see him again.

It's the similar kind of feeling with Apps. Grindr, JackD, I haven't chatted 'properly' (define properly: nice, long conversation, can be flirty but doesn't have to lead to sex) with anyone for like a few weeks already.

No dates. No sex.

I don't understand why do I still check the app throughout the day. I know I can't go for sex dates, they will kill me. I know 99 percent of them are not looking for chats/friends without benefits.

And I also will not be attracted to people who say they are looking for bf. Because you can't go look for a bf. You are not hunting for a deer for BBQ. Relationships are complicated. You can't just want it. And usually people who have that 'looking for bf' on their profiles are either just looking for sex or they simply don't know and have never experienced love.

Yeah, to sum it up, my love/sex life has been dry to the max. Maybe that's the reason I am feeling disorientated?

KK and Chris invited me to their place for a party this weekend. I already said yes to them. I am trying to 'force' myself to go out more.

I really can't envisage myself having a love affair in the next 2 years at least.

I am simply not ready, mentally, physically.

I don't know how to care how to open my arms and hug someone. For now, I just want to protect myself. I just want to complete my studies, get a nice job, feed myself and my family well. And then I will see.

For now, I don't think I am attractive. From my words, if you are sensitive, you should be able to tell.

I got to satisfy the lower hierarchies (according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs) first, before I am ready for something of a higher level like loving someone and achieving self-transcendence.

  1. Just let it flow. If it happens, it happens. U will never be ready for love. U just learn to adapt and accept it along the way

  2. I have the same problem! Which is why I started numbering the posts.

    You'll fall in love when you least expect it! Focus on the other aspects of life for now so that when you do find that someone special, everything else is in order :D

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
