Flipping Memories.

Do you remember the times when someone said some nice things to you and you just want to remember it so you screenshot it to save it in your phone?

Maybe that's not what you did, but I certainly did that. And during that time, you just want to make sure all those screenshots got backed up so that if anything goes wrong with your phone, you wouldn't lose all that sweet things that someone said to you. I did too.

Then when that someone who said those nice things about you left, you decided it's time and erased everything about that someone from your phone. Instantly, you felt like you've grown that little, grown to be able to let go. But maybe one day you were looking for photos on your phone and came across this one photo that you missed out while deleting the rest, and coincidentally enough, it is the first photo that both of you took together. The one that you loved the most because both of you looked so genuinely happy together and his hands over your waist holding you so close. Inside, you just cry a little and shrugged it off.

Life goes on and each day, you forgotten him a little more than the day before. Each day you convinced yourself that,"hey, you both were good together, things were great. Though it ended, things were great when you both were together." And you convinced yourself to take that as a romance that you'll never forget. It's okay to have just a piece of him in your life/heart. And you feel better already, not thinking of him as often or sometimes not at all.

Fate plays another trick on you, remember those photos that you backed up? Yup, they surfaced again. This time not only with the conversations that you both had, but with all the photos that you both took together. Curious as you will always be, you read through the conversations thinking that it'll probably not affect you cos you've been through this, you've convinced yourself. Then all those nice things he said to you, those words that cared, those affection he showed, the words so dear to you, started hitting you in the face.

You probably never thought you would take such a long time forgetting this person, because let's face it, you both weren't together for that long. But he's the only one who cared about you, the only one that put himself second because you're the first. No one you've ever dated has done that. That's why you're so hung up.

Though those images made you cry a little, but it made you smile too. Cos you suddenly felt the way you felt when he said those things to you, the silly faces he made to you, the things he did on purpose so that you would blush. And you decided again, let him be your summer romance.

Because he's just the process in your life and so are you in his. Flipping through these memories did make you sad, but don't forget those memories made you happy too. It's never going to be easy, so don't give up so easily.

Five And Dime Eatery - Salted Caramel.

A few years (months?) back, Sherin and I decided that we should do cafe hopping together but we never got to it because we haven't went out together before and it might be awkward (I guess?). But since her exams ended and we've said that we would do that together, we decided on Five And Dime Eatery!

We ordered Miso Duck Salad for starters, Sherin got their famous Mentaiko Pasta and I got a plain Cajun Chicken for myself. I really can't recall the price for the items but we paid about $40 each including another two cups of drinks.

The Miso Duck Salad tasted great! I loved it! Miso with a hint of Wasabi, hey I'm a lover. Mentaiko Pasta wasn't all that bad, it tasted like sushi and at the same time, another familiar taste that I can't describe. Sherin loved it! But it's not my kind of taste though. The Cajun Chicken was great as well, the sauce was however tomato-y so not really to my liking. I'd very much prefer mushroom sauce or black pepper sauce to tomato. Anytime. I ordered Nutty Chocolate and it tasted like too much of a gelate (gelato-gelate?).

Overall, I thought Five And Dime Eatery is worth the visit. I like the ambience and the service crew was incredibly friendly, makes the visit to the place even more delightful!

After dinner, we didn't want to go back home as it was just 9pm or so, so we decided to drive down to Salted Caramel! Sorry, no photos of the ice cream cos we gobbled it down! :-)

If things aren't good, that's not the end.

Part of recovery is about addressing painful things. If you ignore them, they become triggers.
Things cant be easy but they can still be good.
