The Myrtle Experience


It is truly a tough endeavour once you have invested your trust to a dear friend, a family member or to a special someone and then, it gets broken. Trust is just like a glass, it is delicate and fragile. You have to handle it with care because the moment it has been given to you, you now own certain responsibilities. Trust, a five letter word is a serious case.


May 22, 2012--I was pissed with our smartbro broadband because I cannot access to the internet and as I was preparing to sleep, I checked the time and found out that PBB Teens 4 is still on air. I went to the sala and tuned in and luckily, my hopes didn't go down. I saw the father of Yvez in the confession room talking about Yvez and with the way he handled his matters with girls. I also heard his Dad giving a fatherly advice not just for his son but for the rest of the teenagers out there. With the kind of conversation he and Kuya had, I predicted that there must be something wrong with what Yvez is doing in the house. Certain episodes were presented, there I saw Yvez and Myrtle, and they were in the sofa. Yvez was asking her if saying I love you is wrong and she strongly said, yes because one cannot simply tell if it is already love.

 


Later on, Kuya talked to Yvez and asked him what the day today is and if there is something special happening in his life. There you go, he said it is their monthsary and he wants to sing their song (When I'm With You) as a monthsary gift. After recalling the song, he made a face palm just because he remembered that he actually let Myrtle sing that song for him. He then grabbed his guitar and asked Ryan to cover him. They went to the sala and asked Myrtle and Mariz to go to the bedroom first so that they can concentrate. While playing the song, the boys didn't have a clue that the two girls can actually hear them. Mariz kept on teasing Myrtle about the song, that Yvez must have prepared a surprise for him and that it is so kilig. Myrtle was carried away and so they went to the sala and Myrtle hurriedly went near to Yvez. Yvez then said to her that they must go back to the room because they had just broken his presentation for his bestfriend. The look of Myrtle's face, one can really feel how disgusted she is, how disappointed she is. You see, with just a flash, she discovered how such a guy made her a fool.


She then went back to the room and realized that the song Yvez just sung was the same song he asked her to sing weeks ago. Wow, that was fantastic. How could a guy asked a girl he liked inside the house sing the song which is the theme song of him and his girlfriend? Way too insensitive, right? Yvez was again asked by Kuya what is the true status between him and Kim. First, he said they were just bestfriends. Second, he said, they were in a relationship before because they fell for each other and lastly, when Kuya said Kim confirmed that Yvez is her boyfriend, Yvez then said that they are really in a relationship. Bravo, very well said Yvez!


The pieces make sense now. Myrtle then went outside and talked to the girls. She was crying and blaming herself. She accused herself being the third party, the man stealer which is so untrue. She recalled on how guys treated her before that at the end of day, still nothing happens. She even said that is the very reason why she doesn't like to entertain Yvez in the first place but because he explained to her that he didn't have any affair outside the house, she trusted him. Of course, I do understand how she feels. We can't deny it, Yvez is good looking and charming.


While Yvez was inside the men's bedroom, a voice prompt was played. Viola! Kim greeted Yvez a happy monthsary. Poor Yvez, he was trying to apologize Myrtle but then again, another unexpected thing happened. But well, every action there is a corresponding reaction.

You see guys? Why is it very easy for you to make fun of us, especially our feelings? Just because you are the ones whose going to chase us doesn't mean you now have the permission of making us believe in your lies, in your made up stories. Just because you are guys, and that society dictates that having lots of girls make you masculine doesn't mean you have to adhere into it. Just because you have the license of confessing to the girl you like about your feelings doesn't mean you have to express them drastically without even making it sure it they are real. Just because you are good looking, talented, you got that sizzling sex appeal doesn't mean you have to collect all the girls you like and those girls whom you can victimized too.

I am not only talking to all the guys out there. For us girls, the experience of Myrtle serves us a big lesson too. We don't have to undergo what she has undertaken, just reflect upon her experience and you'll see how hard it is when you are not thinking practically. She was even blaming herself, and I can really feel her because I have undergone being deceived too. The sad part is, we were the ones being fooled but then, we ended up feeling guilty. This is the reality; people will come and hurt us. But it doesn’t end there. They may have broken our trust. They may have tested our patience. They may left us in the end. But heads up, smile! The bright side is, they may have played, hurt, tested and fooled us, but at the end of the day, they injected lifelong lessons in our hearts and we will become stronger than ever. J
