It's been years since she borrowed-no, took-my nickname and used it as her own. As if using it would automatically transform her into the person that she's not, into the person she tries so hard to be (i.e. ME). I have chosen to ignore it all these years but as I was browsing through the updates on Facebook just now, I saw some of her updates and seeing MY name with her surname and profile picture (that darned profile picture) just made me snap.
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines NAME as a word or phrase that constitutes the distinctive designation of a person or thing. If so, what is this person's (or thing's) "distinctive designation" exactly? What is distinctive about a person if she tries to be someone she's not? Surely, nothing genuine. And what is it about me that she feels the need to go through the motions of taking something that's not her own? She even went as far as getting into the same college where I graduated from. And her boyfriend's name is Alex, too... I wonder if she did that on purpose. The worst thing is, everybody in the family knows what she's doing... and she is part of the family. Hindi na nahiya.
I guess she's just someone who will never be able to discover who she really is... or perhaps she doesn't want to seeing as I'm here anyway, so she'll just be whatever I am or will be.
I pity her.
Well, you are one interesting person. No wonder people would love to be you (die hard for it actually).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ja. I appreciate that... :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Ate Jaja. Ngayon lang ako napadpad sa blog mo :) I'm glad I did. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteJaness Ellao is right, there's a reason people love to be you: you're fun and cool and interesting and funny and smart and beautiful. And I think no other Jaja could come close to what and who you are. :)
Oh, it's me Joy. :)
