Exes & Ohs

Meet Darla. She’s Denver’s super ex-girlfriend. She is now married to some South African national. I am writing about her because she just viewed my profile in Friendster. What is wrong with these people? Why don’t they turn anonymous viewing on?

Okay. Guilty. Yes, you can accuse me of doing the same pathetic thing. But at least I have the sense to turn on anonymous viewing, or I check profiles without logging on to my account. That way they’ll never know. Smart, ey?

Anyway, seeing Mrs. South Africa checking me out brings back old memories. According to Denver’s short version of it, a long time ago, she called him before dawn (overseas from Dubai), frantic, asking him why he knocked me up? Friendster was, once again, the culprit. She checked his profile and found out that he was about to be a father.

I don’t get why people are so bothered by things that should no longer affect them. At that time, Mrs. South Africa was still a Miss, however, she was thousands of air miles away from Denver, engaged to the dashing Mr. South Africa (sarcastic), and had absolutely no claiming power over my beau. Crazy, right?


Meet Deedee. She is also one of Denver’s ex-girlfriends (but he denies it from time to time). I also saw her checking me out. She is now pregnant. And I must say that her fiancé is quite a looker (unlike the dashing Mr. South Africa who reminds me of the villain in Lazy Town). He is too good looking for her wide jaw if you want my opinion.


Meet Tiny. Denver’s first love. A Sharon Cuneta look-a-like in her day (according to Denver). No, I did not catch her viewing me in Friendster. She’s the smartest one among the bunch. I did see her blog though, and she had a short entry about Denver’s fatherhood. What’s it to her anyway? But honestly, she seems to be more sensible than most of Denver’s exes. Oh, I’m singling out Deedee too. Call me partial, but my basis for sensible or smart may need validation. I review the profile (or blog) of the character in question, and if there aren’t too many grammatical errors, then they are candidates for sensible and smart.

Okay, so Tiny and Deedee, don’t need to go back to grammar school, unlike Mrs. South Africa, The Whore (I think you know who I’m talking about), and some of his Friendster chicks who in their quarter lives, still need coaching on the proper use of conjunctions.

Examples:

1. I have no interest with your husband.
2. Are you interested of buying a car?
3. Me: Feeling ka. Mag-ano ba kayo ni Denver?
Her: Asked him.

Others: (My Favorite)

Enough bashing. I’m already in better spirits just writing all that. What’s my point really? It’s funny how all women have the same bad habits. I just admitted that I am as guilty as them when it comes to checking out Friendster profiles. Why do we keep doing it though? Do we think that we are a threat to each other? Or do we just like comparing ourselves to each other? So many silly questions… What does his ex look like? Is she sexy, barok, miserable, happy, bitter? I’m sure we all have similar questions.

I think it’s part of our human nature to have great interest in the lives of people who shared themselves with the person we love. (Maybe this is not so apparent among the male species. But then they’re too egotistical to admit having interest in their partner’s past.)

Let’s admit it girls. Women are crazy, foolish and naturally chismosa. And it’s perfectly normal.
