I tried doing other things to let the tension subside. I started going out. I went to see friends. I did virtually anything possible to keep myself together.Then one day, I decided to give it one last shot. To convince her to come home – to us.I went on and asked Ludi to send her a message and let her know that I was in the lobby of her office. My old office. She was kind enough to see me. But the air wasn’t the same as it was before. “Hello, Audrey.” I said nervously. “Hello, Paul. How’ve you been?” she replied. “I can’t say that I’m okay. But I’m glad to see you. So… I dropped by to ask if you’d like to get breakfast and talk about things?” “Oh… Uhm… Sorry… I can’t. I still have a lot of work to do.” “Come on, now. For old time’s sake?” “I really can’t.” “Come on, I can wait for you. I think we can have a decent conversation and go through things like we’re supposed to.” “Paul, I can’t. I have a lot of work to do. Have you been eating? I heard you were wit
We now jump into the now, I just remembered having set up a blog from a while ago. I started working on it again when I found an old comment for one of my old playlists.It made things worse realizing that the same “A” who suggested the song for my playlist was Audrey. My Audrey. The woman who gave me everything and used to love me.Shortly after that, I pulled up Facebook only to find a shocker. A clip of Audrey. Out and about. But she’s with someone else. They were having breakfast. And you can go on guessing as to who she was with. I also found out about other things that I would no longer would want to write about seeing as it’s f*cking tearing me down to pieces just thinking about it. Thinking maybe they were just stories made up. I still think that she wouldn’t do me like that.In spite of how long it’s been, I constantly have to remind myself that she’s no longer coming home. And that I May never get to see her again in this lifetime.Going back to the first time I

So, I’m not really great with introductions. But this is basically a story that I’ve been meaning to write for a while now without really knowing why or what I would really want out of it.Anyhow, I am Paul. I am a normal guy, “street smart”, pop culture-savvy, music enthusiast, creative, and always curious. My curiosity would almost always get me into trouble. I also usually have a lot of thoughts in my head which makes me an overthinker.However, my ultimate dreams are simple. To be able to build a home, nothing grand, just something that I could be comfortable with. To save enough for when I grow old, so that I could finally break free from the corporate world which has held me hostage for the longest amount of time. To be able to just sleep sound and not having to worry about the alarm going off.These thoughts have been running through my mind since I was a little boy. Yes, my curiosity already knew about those things even when I was young. I would often sneak out at ni
Hey guys! This is Black Banter, and welcome back to my blog. See what I did there? Haha! I’m thinking about changing my intro, so you’ll probably be reading weirder intros moving forward. Speaking of something new, I’m again on the hunt for new songs for my playlist, “Emotional Banana”. Please don’t ask about the name – it is what it is and I love it. I haven’t talked to you guys in a while. How are you? What have you guys been up to? I hope y’all are doing well. As for me, well, still moving on from heartbreak, as you all know. After being almost a mom to my kids and almost four years of being together, she decided to end our journey. Time doesn’t make a person the right one for you, I guess.Anyways, I can’t wait to listen to your song suggestions again. Let’s help each other embrace the pain we’re all currently enduring. Let’s revive this joint. And maybe - just maybe - we’ll be able to let go.I’m finally back on track with my blog. It feels so familiar to be writing ag
Hola! Hope you guys are having a wonderful time unlike me.I have been constantly checking out the new girl at work, but I can’t seem to really talk to her. Something in me just pushes back, and I really don’t know how to initiate a conversation. At that time, I really didn’t want to botch up my chance in getting to know her better. But time is running out. Seeing that she is so beautiful, I am not the only one who’s attracted to her. I wanted to make a move — but I’d simply let fate determine if she was to notice me.I had been working with the company for quite a while, so much so that they had picked me up to do support for other employees. I was going about my day when lo and behold, a message popped up and – you already know whose name came along with it. “Hi! Uhm, I’m trying to figure out how to fix an issue with a customer. Can you help me, please?” said Audrey. In my mind, I was like, Oh my god! This is it! What should I do? “Hello, Audrey! Sure
I was under her spell but I was not alone. A lot of guys have also been constantly flocking around her like vultures. She had that effect – the “Audrey” effect. But I was determined. I also didn’t want to have anything in common with these guys. I’m trying to simply utilize proper timing. “Paul, you really have to make a move. I’ve heard that Albert is being pushed by his teammates to pursue Audrey,” said Liana while shaking both my arms. “Wait a freaking second! First of all, I am not deaf. Second of all, I can hear you and lastly, I can hear his teammates wooing from here.” “What are you gonna do about it?” “I don’t know. Although it makes me grind my teeth.” A habit of mine which Audrey hates. “Well, you better get a move on, boy.” “I know, and I am just taking my time. I did tell you about my conversation with her a couple of weeks ago. Haven’t I?” “Yes. But Albert isn’t the only one trying to get her attention.” “I also know that he’s not the only o
It has been almost 6 months since I met Audrey, and my heart still flutters when she laughs, when she smiles. We got to dance to her favorite songs on a rainy morning. Eventually, we were having our first “breakfast” together. And yes, it’s just the two of us. Sitting in front of me, her hair has grown longer but still frames her face well. When she smiles and her round eyes squint, it feels like McDonald’s served more than McMuffins and coffees, but a shot of romance too.“The world's not forgiving of everyone's fears... The days turn into months, the months turn into years... So just for the moment, let's be still...”McDonald’s does know how to set the mood. “Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked shyly. “Oh, uhm, nothing. Your hair looks good on you,” I replied. “Uhm, thanks!” she said smiling. “Hey, Paul. Why don’t we play a game?” she asked. “What game?” I asked, confused with what game she had in mind. “It’s an easy one! We’re just gon
