The results came in on Friday. I'm surprised that I did really well last semester. I even received a solid A for my sociolinguistics paper. Surprise surprise! I thought that maybe I had screwed it up, what with that nasty piece of research and all. And Semantics! That went quite well too! Had an A-, really wasn't expecting that because I didn't think I did that well in the exams, maybe I did much better on my assignment? And I'm surprised to get B+ in everything else, considering I kept skipping classes for my other three courses.
Went to uni on Friday too, to get my courses for the next semester sorted out. I'm not loving my new timetable too much. Although I don't have any classes on Mondays and Tuesdays but my timetable for Wednesday through to Friday is packed. All I can do now is put my hands together and pray that I do not have to sign up for a tutorial scheduled for Mondays or Tuesdays, so I can keep my them free. Oh please, oh please! Taking another five courses this semester as well. Busy, busy.
Then went to catch a movie with friends, since we finished registeration before 5pm. HE didn't text me either throughout the day.
Hopefully I'll be so busy I won't have time to think about HIM.
Yesterday was Saturday. To sum it up, there was a certain feeling of disappointment and of emptiness. HE never texted me the whole day, after what we said to each other on Friday night. I really cannot truly be nothing but only a friend to HIM right now. It hurts.
I went out. Went for sushi and then some shopping with Belle and Feli. I even bought a dress. I haven't voluntarily bought a dress, like, ever? So, I really like this dress, expensive but I thought it was pretty. Belle and Feli thought that the fastest way for me to change my appearance is to get a whole new different wardrobe. Trust me, Belle even went as far as saying that she's going through my closet and chucking out things that she feels no longer suits me. Haha. I find that funny. But I really DO need a new wardrobe. And new shoes. And new hair. Like, now. Both Belle and Feli has been really good to me. And Ivan too, of course.
Then I met a guy friend for a movie. I won't mention names. This isn't a rebound or anything. No. I don't need a guy to make me feel loved and complete, especially not now when my feelings are all jumbled up and I still think of HIM daily. I cannot get into a new relationship before I completely get over the old one. It won't be fair to a new guy when I cannot give him 100% of myself. Anyway, this isn't a date. Just spending some time with a person whose company I enjoy. I really haven't been to the movies with him before, or indeed any other guy before, for the past three years.
He was a bit late. Half an hour late. But he did offer an explanation. He dressed up. And mentioned his friend teasing him that his dressing up was because he thought he was going out on a date. And he had some fragrance on, but I suppose it was normal for him to do that. He even offered his wriste to let me have a sniff at it. So we bought tickets to Alvin and the Chipmunks, heroes of my childhood, haha. He paid for the drinks and the popcorn. I paid for the tickets. And then we went into the cinema. Weirdly, he was a bit of a gentleman. Even if he did know this wasn't a date, and I was just a friend. Oh, anyway, he's not interested in me anymore than I am interested in him. He opened the door into the screening teater for me.
So before the movie started, we talked a bit. I told him that "a broken heart is a heart that has felt love". He laughed. And I asked why he was laughing. He told me that he's been there and said the same thing before. And he thought that it was funny that he'd hear what he'd heard from me. He mentioned that if I were to hear something that I myself had mentioned some time back, it would also seem funny to me.
And he sat with he arms folded throughout. It was a cute, funny movie, I forgot about HIM momentarily. And just when I realize that I'd forgotten, HE'D immediately return to my thoughts. Anyway, I thought he had a cute way of laughing as well. He sounded like a child when he did laugh at the funny bits in the movie. And there was this moment when I swear that I smelt his cologne. The person to my left was a kid, and kids don't wear perfumes, so it had to be him.
Then we went to BIG to pay my dear sis a visit. He didn't think we looked alike, thank God. Sis didn't think he was cute, and honestly neither did I, but I do think he is endearing. After a bit we excused ourselves and went to get something to eat. He wasn't too keen on eating. He thought he's gained weight, but he did want to go get a root beer.
So we did. And he asked if I wanted to split a meal. What I immediately thought was, I wasn't going to bite into the same burger. He said I could have the fries. So I did, and he ate the burger. And we talked about things, my break up and all. He assured me that I wasn't fat. He merely mentioned that my hair could do with some work.
And then I had to go. My siblings wanted their McDonald's fix, and I had to go get it. But what I didn't expect was that he went with me. And he sat with me, waiting for my bro's quarter pounder. Besides Daryll and Joshua, I don't think any other guy has been so 'gentlemanly'. Honest. Ok, so Daryll wasn't much of a gentleman. But he does really care about me, and we are really comfortable with each other.
He went home when I did. And later, on MSN, he mentioned that I looked good in office wear and said that maybe a more mature style/way of dressing suits me better. I laughed and he said not to take it as an insult. So I took it as a compliment, and it really made my day not so bad after all, what with not hearing from HIM the whole day.
Anyway, HE did MSN me too, much to my surprise.
HIM: Hi
ME: ?
HIM: LOL
ME: *silence*
HIM: You're a mean mean chu
ME: Why
HIM: Only you will know why
ME: *silence*
HIM: Hmm...you there?
ME: Yes?
HIM: What you doing?
HIM: Class start de?
ME: Yea
HIM: Already started?
ME: Commencing
HIM: Owh
Most weird. And this morning he texted me all the smileys available on his phone. Wonder what he expects me to respond?
