Way back in high school, I remember that my friends and classmates regard me as a “love guru”. Haha! I find it really funny when I think back of those crazy high school “love affairs” that I had. Mind you, those were not serious ones. I could say that I was just one crazy love freak at that time. My love life had been controversial with my friends and classmates. They knew how easy and how hard I fell in love with someone and they also knew that one of those people who took my heart away was the guy who became my first boyfriend, my first love.
I was in junior high school when I had my first relationship. It was a long-distance relationship. We barely see each other because I would only see him twice or thrice a year: during summer when I go on vacation to the province, during August when he comes over for the city fiesta and during November when I visit the province again to pay respect to my deceased ancestors on All Souls Day. It was difficult for both of us. In fact, because of the time and distance that we were apart, I would sometimes forget that I was in a relationship. Despite this not-so-ideal love affair, this lasted for four years and a half. Sounds unbelievable but it really lasted that long. Just like any other relationships, this one had its own doses of challenges and struggles. This was the reason why my love life had been controversial and this was how I learned to give advice to others who were also in relationships because at that time, only a few of us in our batch were involved with someone and those who weren’t involved but were interested with someone would ask questions and they would approach and confide with me about their concerns. I was pretty helpful that I would spend time after school hours to talk to them and give them advice. For me, it was just a nice gesture of a friend to another friend. What are friends for?
Moreover, I also experienced having flings and Mutual Understandings (MU’s) with guys older than me and someone younger than me. To make the story short, I really learned a lot from these relationships and these helped me to handle my succeeding relationships better than the last ones.
