Unlearn

Music playing the background
People chattering about
All these noises around me
Yet only your voice resounds

Beatiful shapes and colors
Scenic, majestic, grand
But all I see is gray
When you're not by my side

Batanes Trip - North Batan

This is a diary of my travel to Batanes.

Basco Airport

We landed at Basco Airport at 8:28 AM. Similar to Caticlan Airport, it was a small airport with one landing strip. After getting off the plane we were asked to register before reaching the arrival area.

It was drizzling when we arrived. Or maybe it was the low clouds. Either way, you're bound to get cold and wet with this kind of weather.

After arriving at the hotel (which was only a few minutes away), I was given some papers to fill out. I was then escorted to my room. The room was pretty decent and had the basic necessities - comfy bed, lights, hot water (yes, it's a must!). It also comes with an air conditioning unit, which I probably won't need given the weather.

Rejection

From thehappinessparadigm.com

"I no longer wish to speak with you."

It was all that was needed to be said to put me back in my place. I was thinking, hoping actually, that she still wants to be together. That she wants to give us a second chance. That she still longs for me the way I still long for her. I guess I was too far from the truth.

Thinking of being rejected is one thing, being actually rejected is another. It's something that, no matter how long you psych yourself for, will never be prepared. Especially if it's something you really, really want. You think that you've prepared yourself by hoping for the best and expecting the worst, but when you're in that situation, you forget about expecting the worst and just hope for the best.

I guess I had it coming. After all, I was the first one to let go. When I said I want out, I was being impulsive, into that moment. I shouldn't be disappointed that I had been rejected. And yet, it feels like someone just punched a big, gigantic hole in my chest.
