sentimentalism

“The problem with you is you’re very sentimental…” Sounds accusing, but most of the time this comes as a reminder from friends who care.

Though sometimes, this is being confronted by a defensive me… “so what’s wrong with being sentimental?” I would snap back.

This morning, I realized sentimentalism is a real problem!

I have a package of pili nuts in my drawer at the office. I think it was there since November. I remember a friend from somewhere brought it when he came over here in manila. I was touched by the thoughtful gesture because the guy happens to be my crush. I wanted something to remember him by, so I saved that pack.

Of course, I still remember the guy, but the pili nuts already forgotten. Two hundred and sixty seven days later, I opened the drawer, gone were the pili nuts along with some documents I need to use now for my report…

So what’s wrong with being sentimental? La lang, dinadaga lang! Bad trip!
