Day 5

Well, well, another day, another blog.

Yours truly got unexpectedly tied up all day yesterday, and ran out of time to write.

But here I am, still without a single reader to address, save myself, but I'm persevering. You know the deal, "No Guts, No Glory", and "Big aspirations demand Big sacrifices". Crap, you say, huh!

Flashback in time, just after Day 2.

Don Juan turns teenager and goes to the city, leaving all that is dear, and comfortable, and familiar. But father says "go to the city, boy", so off to the city. He is enrolled in an exclusive school for boys, where he accidentally wins a free scholarship, and boy, does he look and feel out of place. Here, all the boys are city boys, know how to spend money (and do they spend!), and go to school in family cars. Don Juan goes to school in pedicabs.

Where Don Juan stays, living with his elder brother (and family), the rich neighbour has a pretty daughter, same age as Don Juan. The pretty girl, Mary, also goes to an exclusive school, for girls. Now, this girl may just have turned teenager like Don Juan, but man, this girl is a woman. A woman who knows what she wants, and apparently gets what she wants.

On the first week of knowing Don Juan, and becomes an acquaintance, she proposes to Don Juan, like, "I like you, you are my boyfriend now". And she gives him a brush on the lips, and leaves Don Juan mesmerized. So for the next two months, Don Juan learns the ways of a girl, or a young woman, if awkwardly. That, and how it is to mingle with (perhaps, watch is more like it) city boys, whom he has nothing whatsoever in common with, except age, and school.

And the girl really knew what she wanted, or not wanted. She wants a more responsive boyfriend who exuded confidence. She definitely does not want a shy boy who lacked worldly experience. And so, just about two months of being boyfriends, she tells Don Juan mercifully, "you're not my boyfriend anymore. We're not suited for each other". And that's that. Poor boy, Don Juan. He did not ask for this, and this is what he gets. But hey, he is learning the ropes, fast, by the looks of it.

But what is it they say, "when a door shuts, another one opens"? How about, "Not"!

That's all I have for today.

Ciao for now, and hope to see you again... tomorrow?

At your service,
Don Juan of Alaya
