It took me two weeks to decide.

Should I still pursue her? Even all of

my fellow aikidoka are already

making a bet about how long before I

surrender and stop pursuing her.

Everybody thought that I shouldn't

waste my time for her because it

wouldn't work and I deserve better. I

Rather than being myself, I think it

would be better if I became selfish. I

should test the waters first before

doing anything else. She's became

annoyed at me for no reason and she

As lonely as I can be, I still continued

going to class focusing on my studies.

trying to avoid eye contact but I still

waved my hand. She looked at me,

smiled and waved back.

The colors came back to my life again

The colors came back to my life again.

I felt joy all of a sudden but then I

realized about my previous thoughts

about her. My emotions got mixed up.

In the end, I still can't decide but one

thing for sure, is that I'm going to

have regrets in the end.
