my exbf and i were smokers even before we got together. it was one of the reasons why we got close in the first place. he was the chain smoker, and i was the social smoker. i never bought myself a pack. when we got together, we both decided to quit, and for 2 1/2 years we despised cigs, and even alcohol. then summer of 03 we broke up. i found out he started smoking again, so did i. i felt bad and still feel bad for the fact that we both have started smoking again. but more disappointed at him because i know quitting will be a difficult thing for him.

when we got together, we both decided to quit...

for some strange reason, i find this endearing on behalf of both of you. sometimes i wonder whether we could ever have made a commitment like that. so I guess understand why you feel let down... quitting was something you two did together.

yeah, being addicted to each other may be the perfect -- yet extremely psychotic -- relationship.

i agree with youre comic strip though.

give up smoking and then just go for sex all the way. bakit? kase ito ayon kay SHaron Olds, sa kanyang tulang "Sex without Love". an excerpt:

"They do not
mistake the lover for their own pleasure,
they are like great runners: they know they are alone
with the road surface, the cold, the wind,
the fit of their shoes, their over-all cardio-
vascular health--just factors, like the partner
in the bed, and not the truth, which is the
single body alone in the universe
against its own best time."

be better dear. let's all wait for love to come our way again.

is smoking a good bad habit to pick up? ;p i'm looking for one. in trying to console my own soul too.

i don't think it's called a habit. in most forms, its better known as a vice. ha.

but you're right. sex na lang. that's a good habit to pick-up.

Kevin: Did you know that cigarettes are a shield against meaningful interaction with people?

Kevin: You let somebody move in with you, you make all these little compromises to smooth things along, and the next thing you know, you're on some macrobiotic diet and you're listening to Joni Mitchell.

And like some addict I hold on to the memory of her, hoping to squeeze what little I have left. But she is the drug I can no longer afford. And cannot, quite frankly, so easily clean from my system.

it sucks to feel this way. though the option of not feeling this way is always "available", we all still choose to take what we can get. for all it's worth. and oddl enough, it's almost worth everything.

if you mean that this feeling is simply a 'choice', then i'd beg to disagree. though i agree that i've picked-up quite alot from this mess that is my life, i think i would've chosen to feel something else other than this... then again, maybe i understood you wrong.

i meant that the other feeling is just there. and no matter how many times we force ourselves to sort of choose that feeling, we still end up feeling whatever we want to feel. parang it's a choice of the heart and not of the mind... labo na ata. ehehehe :P
