Broken Trust

Friday, June 8, 2012
Aside from work that's definitely keeping my plate full these days, I've also been contemplating on whether or not I'll write a post about something that I went through these past weeks that I felt like wasted my time and made me very disappointed in the people I thought were my friends.  I remember saying in my last post that perhaps I'll write about the jungle and its inhabitants.  Well, I finally decided that I will.

I have a lot of "friends", but I only have a handful of people I consider true friends.  Respect and trust are two very important ingredients in what I call friendship.  These people I consider true friends don't talk behind my back.  If they see something wrong, they'd tell me directly.   If, for some reason, they tell me one thing, they will not alter their stories regardless of who they are talking to. My true friends know that I hate lies.

Fairly basic expectations from friends, right?

My life became kinda complicated these past weeks because I was dragged into an incident I had nothing to do with in the first place.  Part of my job as a financial/insurance advisor is to ask for referrals. There I was just minding my own business when an irate ex-girlfriend had a dispute with the guy I was asking referrals from.  I didn't know that there was a text war already going on between them. Thus, my involvement in what seems an endless brouhaha. Honestly, with all the stories I heard from both of them, the "he said, she said,"  I don't understand their point of dragging me into their mess.  Really, I don't! Whatever is going on between the two of them is not my business and I have no intention of making it my business.

Forgive me for ranting, but I'm just letting off steam.

With what I have on my plate now, I certainly don't have time for this nonsense. Oh, and by the way, I'm sorry to say that I don't have the cure for insecurities. Lastly, one is not called a Christian by simply KNOWING the Bible and attending church service.  It's LIVING it.

you should have told the truth when you were asked about who is asking who. it turned out that you volunteered the information and you were not asked,,,

Pia said...

anonymous, i feel so sorry for you. i pity you because you couldn't get past this absurdity. do you want to talk about truth? are you, yourself, being truthful? truth is absolute. either one is telling the truth, or one isn't. i know i am telling the truth, are you? don't point your finger at me; four fingers are pointing back at you. i'm sorry, anonymous, but you will not have the pleasure of getting me to admit something i didn't do. i kept quiet all this time because i thought that's the best thing to do, but you just wouldn't stop. how about this: to each his own. you believe what you want to believe and i will stand on what i believe. stop trying to prove me wrong because you can't. you just can't. i'm not known for lying.

i am responding to your comment because you've crossed the line. this is MY space. and why are you here reading my post anyway? if you don't like what i write, then don't read my blog. it's as simple as that.

a lie only becomes true when you believe it. so sorry for you also, i just heard that you destroyed a friend inspite of that friend of yours helping you in so many ways.... have a pleasant day

Pia said...

my day is pleasant. thank you very much. and what a name you chose to use. "chuck u" is f*** you in chinese, right? and you call yourself a Christian??? seriously? i hope you learn to get all your facts straight before using them against me. you don't ask for directions from someone who's lost, right? get the picture?

i'm sorry to disappoint you, chuck, but i don't destroy people. that's not my forte. i know how to be grateful to people who've helped me in so many ways. so having said that... believe all the stories you want to believe. and yes, lies do become true when you believe them. enjoy your weekend.

chuck u. farley is an american name and if you can't figure out what it means, well sorry. you said you don't destroy people but how come people around you despise you. it all came when i never asked. one human being commented about you without me even asking about it. Voila! what a coincidence and WHAT A SHAME! and if you think that person is lost, i don't think so bec that human didn't even bat an eyelash and it was all FLAWLESS! you said you were not known for lying, oh well, you know the truth, i hope you won't distort it. this blog is full of Christianity but how come you won't face the music with your head up high, bec it is written also in the bible that whenever there are disputes, Christians should settle it, settle it face to face not through, social media like this BLOG! you are putting this in the court of public opinion Pia and as a "christian" you should not use the net bec you know they can't air their side. sad to say, someone told me about this blog. tsk, tsk, tsk! oh pano na, buking ka???? piece of advise, don't get too close to guys esp guys that you really don't know, never ride their car alone, bec someone told me that your church teaches that a girl should not ride in a strangers car alone esp when you say that you are married...get the point?????

Instead of dwelling on your difficulties, FOCUS MORE on the fact that God is for you and His POWER is at work in you. God can even use your enemies to promote you. Be GLAD and Be STILL

Pachuchay said...

Ay umiinit ang ulo ko dito girl! let's make this Chuck like a wood to chuck. Pia, Anonymous doesn't even have the guts to identify his/herself which means nagpapapansin lang yan KSP cya sistah! baka kulang sa chuck! Sorry Anonymous, pa chuck ka nalang sa iba taken na si Pia!

Unknown said...

When the enemy is trying to destroy you, it validates that you are VALUED Pia, I believe the GOD brings you out for something GREAT!

If someone hurts you, don't hurt them back because if you REPAY them evil to evil, you are no better than them...

Rachel said...

dear anonymous, i think that Pia mentioned in the main entry that she does not want to be involved with you in any way. i think that what she said is crystal clear. please leave her be.

you said in one of your replies to her post that "they can't air their side". guess what? "they" just "aired their side", right? the difficulty here is that Pia is posting in her blog using her own name. you, on the other hand, use the net to your advantage and hide behind the monicker "anonymous". you are challenging her to speak the truth…. it would do well for you to do the same. post using your own name.

i guess this is one post that has gotten out of hand. if you believe in what you claim to be, please go in peace and leave her be. each one will reap what they sow. let no one pass judgement on the other. let God do that.

Bea said...

Pi, God knows what's in your heart and God knows the truth. Even if you don't say or try to prove anything, God knows and I know that your heart is pure. I don't understand why people will really go out of their way, even read your blog just to prove something that does not even have a basis. Basis lang nila yung sinabi ng iba na wala naman silang proof. One decent and mature person would talk things out. Not like this - mag comment pa ba sa blog? We are not in grade school!

Pi, just stand for what you believe and remember, if God is for you, who can be against you? Don't worry, you don't need to exhaust so much effort like somebody. Chin up, girl! Apir! =)

Pi, huwag mo na siyang pansinin. di kayo ka-level. dapat jan ini-ignore.

Darrel said...

Pia, obviously this person is sick. She doesn't even know how inconsistent her statements are. Sino ba itong bakulaw na ito? Anu ichura nito para pag nakita kong kakalat-kalat sa kalsada sagasaan ko.

Shame on you??? Shame on you!!! Piece of ADVICE hindi advise. Bobo!

Anonymous said...

to the commenters, it's so funny that you make comments as if you know the whole story. I am sure you guys only know one side of the coin or probably, just riding with the issue..

Darrel said...

Anonymous, identify yourself! You're scared? You're the one who's funny. We are just basing everything from what is written here. You're the one who suggested that comments be posted. Dose of your own medecine! Sinong nakakatawa ngayon??????

Rachel said...

regardless of whether or not we know all the aspects of the issue, the fact remains that Pia does not want to be part of whatever it is you are embroiled in. she is trying to distance herself from all the parties involved and is trying to keep quiet about it. yet, here you are hurling accusations at her, trying with all your might to bring her into the fray, while hiding behind the veil of the internet by posting anonymously.

first of all, if you cannot reveal to us who you really are (perhaps, you are too embarrassed to say your name?), you have no right to post here. second, since you apparently can understand English and you are a sentient being, what part of "i have no intention of making it my business" do you not understand? lastly, Pia has friends who know her far better than you do. i hope that you know how having true friends feels like.

in her post, Pia had the courtesy and decency of not mentioning names. she could have written the names of all parties involved, but she chose not to. she gave you leeway. it could have been anybody, but you chose to come forward and declare to the whole world "i am that person!" courtesy and decency. Pia has these traits.

prove to us that you do, too, by going your own way and leaving her alone.

Darrel said...

Anonymous again? You people are a bunch of LOSERS! Anonymous 2, who the hell are you? Identify yourself! Because of you and your fellow muttonheads, everybody knows your stupid story. Believe me, nobody's interested in your hogwash of a story and will you stop dragging God into this??! Mangilabot kayo sa ginagawa niyo! Quote kayo ng quote sa Bible e obvious naman na hindi niyo isinasabuhay. Anonymous 2, did you read and even think before leaving a comment? This blog is OPEN to public like you said so there's NOTHING and NO REASON to hide! Who's hiding??? Kayo nga ang puro anonymous mag comment e.

Ex-gf. Ex!!! Bobo! Anong problema ng pinagtatanggol mo kung ex na pala siya ha??? If I get the story right which thanks to you natatahi na ng mga nakakabasa dito e insecurity at selos ang dahilan ng galit ng kaibigan mo. Bakit, kagwupuhan ba yang lalaking yan para pag interasan ni Pia? Kilala ko si Pia. She's loyal kaya nga loyal din mga kaibigan niya sa kanya.

"Don't point your finger to someone about CHRISTIANITY bec what you wrote in this blog is quite contradicting to your Christian views" What is so contradicting here ha? Kayo ang contradicting! Pa quote quote pa kayo ng mga Bible verses. Bobo! Na-apakan niyo ba IQ niyo?

Someone harassed you and threatened you? Baka sa sama ng ugali mo kaya ka hinaharass. What goes around comes around. Pang haharass din itong ginagawa mo diba??? At sino ka nga ba? Papanong magkakaron ng kinalaman si Pia sa nangyayari sayo e hindi mo nga maipakilala sarili mo e. Bobo ka talaga! Serves you right!

Rachel said...

you know, all this would not have blown up like this if you just remained silent. let's deconstruct this, shall we?

first of all, did Pia mention anyone? no.
next, did she give out details? no.
did she say who said what? no.

as far as we're concerned, the people involved in what Pia described in her blog post could be anybody on this planet!

do you not see what you had? Pia gave you anonymity. she was able to vent of some of her frustrations without citing anyone in particular.

you, on the other hand, decided to blow things up and claim the incident. "yes, that's us!" "yes, we were the ones Pia alluded to!" "wait! Pia did not fill you in on the details? no? well, here they are on a silver platter! hey, planet earth! read all about it!"

ahhh… such childishness…..

while a blog is public, there are ways of shielding those who may be involved in what the blog writer is talking about. that, in effect, dissociates them from the events being related. as i mentioned in my previous comment, Pia had the courtesy and decency to do so.

what you and your companions could have done after learning of the existence of this blog is this:
- check if there are any explicit references to you
- ask Pia about the entry, who she was referring to and why she wrote it. for this purpose, you can text her. if she does not reply, then it is a chance to train yourself in the virtue of patience.
- ask Pia's friends why she does not want to sit down and discuss things with you. you seem to be good at investigative work, this should be easy for you. (to be continued...)

Rachel said...

you could have kept quiet and waited for the right time to talk to Pia. you could have approached a common friend, a pastor perhaps, to act as a bridge between the two of you. instead you chose this path.

about that harassing thing? Pia does not ask other to call and harass other people.

now, sadly, i don't think that this will come to a peaceful resolution unless all parties involved take some time out and let this thing blow over first. once that happens and you, anonymous (in all your incarnations/versions), are willing to discuss things calmly, perhaps, just perhaps, Pia might be willing to listen.

this, however, i am sure of: she will not sit there alone with you.

Darrel said...

Well said Rachel! These boorish people are no better than baboons!

Rachel said...

malicious intent, you say? Pia said: "Forgive me for ranting, but I'm just letting off steam.", and that she did. if she had malice in her mind, she would have listed down all your names (plural, since there are several people involved) and written down all the events. did she? no. she just gave a very vague description of what happened. (compared to what you wrote, Pia's description was really vague and lacking in detail.) Pia's blog is public. she knows that whatever she writes there can be seen by the whole world. so, clearly, she has no intention of hiding the contents of that post. before you started commenting on this particular entry, no one knew who you were or your association to the issue Pia related in her blog entry. that all changed when you posted your very first comment. is that why you now hide and post anonymously? is that why you are not afraid to say who you are?

"let the issue die a natural death"? how can it if the parties involved kept texting and calling Pia's mobile phone? (does the message "You answer my call!" sound familiar?)

hmmm… ex-irate girlfriend… she used to be irate, but she is the girlfriend? maybe you meant irate ex-girlfriend? if she is the ex-girlfriend, then she has absolutely no right to be concerned about what the guy does, right? that's the meaning of "ex", as in "former". why would they fight? she's the "ex", isn't she?

yes, Pia contacted the guy….for referrals. she is in the business of selling insurance. naturally, she needs referrals. the guy said that he can refer her to his friends and contacts, and to anyone selling anything, that is an opportunity, a BUSINESS opportunity. calling him up for follow ups? again, this is part of her job. nothing personal about it.

ask for help late at night? perhaps, you should ask what the circumstances are first. then again, how did you find out about this? did the guy tell you? hmmm…..

all this would have just stayed as it was… a nice quiet blog entry with only one (take note, anonymous, ONE) comment.

Anonymous said...

@rachel, i don't wanna comment na sana bec what i wrote was meant to be my final comment but ask her whom she called and sought help at 2am to go to the heart center, Is she very close to the guy????? I think it should be darrel that she called bec it so obvious that she is more close to darrel than the guy.
To all, bahala na si Lord.

Darrel said...

Anonymous 2, for your information, had I've been in the country when tito passed away, I would have been there for tita and Pia. Are you insinuating that I'm a guy? I'm a girl, you moron! I know this part of the story. Nakaka-awa kayo. Pia, I'm sorry if I had to tell them this.

Anonymous 2, para sa limitado mong kaalaman, the guy texted my friend Pia if there's anything she would like him to pray for. Obviously Pia's natural response would be yes because her father was dying. Pia's IMMEDIATE family were all out of the country for your information and it was just the two of them here when tito passed away. It was past 12 ok? Did you really think, Pia singled out this guy to ask help from? Yes, she called the guy for help because she knew gising pa siya. She graciously asked if he can help and the guy said yes. Why don't you ask the guy about this because seems to me you know this couple very well. Alam niyo kung ano ang nakaka-suklam sa inyo ngayon? The situation about tito's passing and you people na binigyan ng masamang kulay ang pag hingi ng tulong ng tao. Ang sasama ng ugali niyo! Wala kayong respeto sa namatay! It goes to show na ang mga uri niyo tutulong lang sa taong ka-close niyo. Panay pa ang quote ninyo sa Bible tapos bibigyan niyo ng masamang kulay ang pag hingi ng tulong ng taong namatayan? Ask the guy about this! Ask him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pasalamat kayo at hindi ko kayo kilala. Kahit anong pilit ko kay Pia na ipakita sa akin ang mga ichura niyo hindi niya ginawa. Anonymous 2, kung ikaw ang namatayan or in a desperate situation, kahit hindi kita kilala, tutulungan kita. Ngayon, hindi ka ba nahihiya sa sarili mo at sa mga taong nakakabasa dito kung ano ang itinitira niyo kay Pia? Mag-isip ka!

Edi lumabas din ang katotohanan na selos ang puno't dulo ng away nilang mag-ex. It could be another girl that would ask help from this loser of a guy and they would have still fought over it. Nakakahiya kayo!

Pia, I'm so sorry for doing this pero nanggigigil ako sa mga taong ito. Ang bobobo.

Darrel said...

To the guy, I'm sure you are also following this thread. Can't you in any way control your ex-gf from trashing my friend's blog and taming her over-the-roof insecurities? Why are you allowing your ex to spread her version of the story when you know very well what really happened? Did you just use my friend para pag selosin ang insecure mong ex? Ngayon ginagamit ng ex mo ito against Pia? Kailangan pa bang ibang tao ang mag sabi sa iyo ng BE A MAN?????????

Rachel said...

Darrel, thank you for adding clarity to this issue!

Anonymous, your line of reasoning only reflects the absence of it. i knew why Pia needed help at that time. so, there is no need for me to ask her. it is quite surprising though that you did not know the details behind her call for help, since, obviously, you and the other parties are communicating with each other. As Darrel clearly pointed out in her reply, those were extraordinary circumstances. Had you done a little bit of research, you would have learned that that was the time when Tito passed away. it is really a very deep shame on you and your cohorts to twist the situation and turn it into an arrow that you now fire at Pia. all for what? jealousy? of an ex? an EX who should have just packed her bags and moved on?


your problem is that you only see things from your side of the fence. if you are what you profess to be, you would have been more contemplative and more civil in your approach to this matter. instead, you do defile this blog with your accusations and claims.

if we were to reduce this issue to its core, we can see that it has nothing to do with being a Christian, nor has it anything to do with the blog and its contents.

jealousy is obviously the root of all this furor. ex-gf is jealous (or, to use your word, irate) because her ex-bf responded to call for help in the wee hours of the morning. it all revolves around that, jealousy. now, she is using the blog to attack a person who simply wanted to be left alone, a person who wanted nothing to do with the ex-gf and the ex-bf… oh yeah, that goes for you too, anonymous.

that ex-girlfriend you are referring to will never find a meaningful relationship in her life (whether the current one or the next, if she is ever allowed another chance) unless she rids her system of jealousy. the way she is behaving shows that she thinks she owns the guy, because she is obviously gravely affected by anything he does, especially if it involves other women. otherwise, why would she even care? she is the ex….let me repeat that: "SHE IS THE EX".

to the ex-bf, Darrel is right: BE A MAN!!!

Darrel said...

O, bakit tumahimik? Wala na bang hihirit pa?

Anonymous 1, ibabalik ko sa iyo ang sinabi mo ha. Tsk, tsk, tsk! O pano na, buking ka???? Buking ka sa pakay mo kung bakit ka nanggugulo? Piece of advice, huwag kang mang hamon kung hindi mo kayang lumaban. Edi bumalik lahat sa iyo. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sinong nakakatawa ngayon?

Anonymous 2, I know you wanted to defend your friend. Unfortunately, you did not cover all angles before heading here and spilling the beans. O hayan, nadulas ka tuloy. Masakit ba? Ibabalik ko rin sa iyo ang sinabi mo ha. Pabida ka kasi masyado e.

Ex-bf, all this wouldn't have happened had you stepped on the brakes yourself but I guess you enjoyed watching these girls fight. Ibabalik ko rin sa iyo ang sinabi ng mga kaibigan mo ha. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!

I did not know this side of the story until you people started dropping the bombs here. Now every reader of this blog knows.

Anonymous said...

@darrel, rachel- pia sent a text message asking for prayers bec her dad was dying and the guy forwarded the mssg to his friends requesting such. Pls pray for my fatHer, he is not okay anymore. That is what the guy got

..i think this is more of a text blast to her friends

Darrel said...

And your point being?

Rachel said...

anonymous (latest), your tone is very different from the previous posts made under the same monicker. from the looks of it, you don't sound like you're female, ergo, you must be the ex-bf..... interesting.....

anyway, let's assume that you are a guy (the ex-bf). you forgot to mention that you texted Pia asking her if she had any prayer requests. she said yes. she requested for prayers for her dad. later that evening, she sent a message to all her friends requesting them to pray for her dad because his condition was not improving. this was the message you mentioned in your last post.

now that we have that sorted out. i will ask you a question similar to Darrel's: what's your point?

one more thing, all the anonymous posts said that Pia was being asked to explain her side. why is it then that you (the ex-bf) were texting her from june 27 to june 30 asking her for a chance to explain? in one of your messages you even said "Ang tanga ko lang bkit ako nagpa dala" ? what is the meaning of this?

allow me to reiterate what Pia has been saying all along: she does not want to have anything to do with you (ex-bf) or you (ex-gf) or you (friend/s of ex-bf and ex-gf). nothing to explain. nothing to talk about. everyone goes their own merry way. the end.

Darrel said...

Oops......

Rachel, he did that? Ha! This is getting juicier.

Anonymous said...

The point is, nagkakabaliktaran that is why she was being asked to explain from may to june.Who is asking her to explain?. The guy, bec Me isang tao na naiipit, the text msgs were true, bakit kaya and to support my statement who's dragging pia to the issue, she even called the guy after the burial of her dad asking him "bakit di ka nagpunta sa burol" and pia even wanted to let her mom thank the guy over the phone. Lastly, she should have responded na lang sana and nakipagusap instead of posting it in this blog, kita nyo na kayo na ang kausap imbis na siya?

Darrel said...

Anonymous, I really don't understand why you and your friends couldn't put one and two together. Where are your brains??????

First, she doesn't want anything to do with you or your friends. Does this sound familiar to you, "Leave me out of it?" How many times did Pia say this? Why do you still expect Pia to show up and explain, para maging referee niyo? How many times did you call my friend to trash talk your EX? And isn't it right that your EX was able to talk to her too on the phone? Isn't it also right that after Pia spoke to both of you, you asked what your EX said and Pia's response was, "no nalang, lalaki lang ang gulo." And I will use my own words for this, north and south ang kwento mo at kwento ng EX mo. Kuha mo? So one of you is definitely lying. Anonymous, Pia has nothing to explain to anyone of you. When you got to know my friend, weren't you already the EX? So that means, even before you met Pia, you already had issues with your EX kaya nga kayo naging EX, tama? So who's dragging who here? Ang issue niyo SELOS. You should be resolving this on your own, but then again, EX NA NGA E! Si Pia ba ang susi sa pag-babalikan niyo? You know why Pia agreed to sit down with you, that's to talk about business. Walang kahit anong personal.

"Pia should have responded at nakipag-usap?" Didn't she just do that before all this blew up? Basahin mo uli yung isinulat ko earlier ha.

Second, kami ang kausap mo imbis na siya? I'll re-write what I just wrote, ok? PIA DOESN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS! Is that clear enough? Tagalugin ko? AYAW NI PIA NG KAHIT ANONG KONEKSYON SA IYO O SA MGA KAIBIGAN MO!

Third, "instead of posting it in this blog" Nagbabasa ka ba ng thread na ito o panay lang ang banat mo? Basahin mo ang mga sagot ni Rachel para hindi ka nagmu-mukhang tanga.

Fourth, may isang taong naiipit? Sino, ikaw? Talgang maiipit ka sa ginagawa mo. E ang bobo mo e. Para sa isang lalaki, napaka daldal mo. Obviously, nagpapalitan kayo ng EX mo ng kung anu mang kwento. E kung tumahimik ka nalang at huwag pumatol edi sana walang gulo. E bakit nga ba nakikipag paligsahan ka pa sa EX mo e EX ka na nga?

Fifth, "bakit di ka nagpunta sa burol and pia even wanted to let her mom thank the guy over the phone." I think you really need a brain operation. What the hell is wrong in that? You were the one Pia asked help from, hindi ba? Of course tatanungin ka niya. May I remind you that that event was deeply personal for the family and for Pia to ask you that, she considered you a friend. Tita wanted to thank you on the phone for your help? YOU NUMSKULL!!! Bobo ka talaga! Can't you see the whole picture here? Their intentions are PURE!!!!!!!!! Magpapasalamat sa iyo sa ginawa mong kabutihan sa kanila. Nakakahiya ka talaga. Nakakahiya kayo!

You should be ashamed of yourself. Pia has avid followers here. Now they all know the story. Like what Rachel and I said in our previous posts, no one knew about all this until you brutes started dropping the bombs. What goes around comes around.

Darrel said...

Another thing, "The point is, nagkakabaliktaran..." Anonymous, I'm not quite sure if it's just me but I don't understand your point. Nagkakabaliktaran? Do you mean because there's the "he said" and there's also the "she said?" I read somewhere in this thread that there's also the "Pia said?" Can you for once remove Pia from the equation? Matatahimik ba kayo with only the "he said" and the "she said?" Or isn't it that kayo mismo ng EX mo nagkakabaliktaran ng statements? Nothing Pia say or does will ever solve your problem. Kuha mo?

Rachel said...

anonymous, for you to even think that Pia had any other motives than to express her gratitude for the help that was extended to her is a very good indication of your character (or lack of it). haven't you heard of the saying: "we see the world, not through our eyes, but through our biases"?

put yourself in that situation:

your dad just died. you witnessed it. you were by his side when he breathed his last. grief, anguish and a sense of loss are now tearing at your hear and mind... then it dawns on you: you and your mom have to set aside your grief and prepare for the wake and the burial. it is past midnight. your mom has to get her stuff. you have to get your stuff. your brothers and sister are not here. where will you start? how will you do it?  who will you call? a friend? perhaps.

then someone responds.... he extends assistance and accompanies your mom. during the wake and burial he does not show up. what would you do? ask him why he did not show up, right?

you know what anonymous (all of you)? aside from having issues about jealousy, you are also plagued with narrow-mindedness, near-sightedness, lack of compassion, a very bloated sense of self-righteousness, selfishness, and a dearth of common sense.
if you were in Pia's shoes at that time, what would you have done?

let me point out another thing.... i don't know whether you've noticed it or not, but Pia, Darrel and I have not mentioned names. you post as anonymous, we address you as anonymous. you post as chuck, we address you as chuck.

Pia knows who you are. yet, she chooses, CHOOSES, not to mention your names. no phone numbers, no names, no nicknames.... nothing. what does this mean? you can still walk away from this... and Darrel can't run you down on the street with her car.

to the ex-bf, she once thought that she could trust you and count you as a friend, not an acquaintance, but a friend. she entrusted her mother to you. did you know that that takes a very high level of trust on Pia's part? you blew it.

you know what? you just lost the chance to know what it is like to have a real friend. an honest, trustworthy, God-fearing friend.

to the other parties, you must learn to look beyond your noses, your biases, your issues in life, and see things from the other side of the fence. the world does not revolve around you. you have to learn to have more compassion and understanding. you did mention the term "Christian". i do not know whether all of you are. i know that the ex-bf calls himself by that term. ex-gf? not sure. do you not think that having compassion and understanding is part of being a Christian? it all falls under the "love your fellow man" commandment.

did Pia wrong you? i don't think so. in the first place, before you started commenting, no one knew any details about this incident. you, anonymous, provided the details. as i mentioned in a previous reply: IT. COULD. HAVE. BEEN. ANYONE.

you tried to distort events to put Pia in a bad light. however, regardless of how you try to twist and turn the events to suit your intentions, it will simply not hold up to the facts.

the most shameful and utterly demeaning part of your tirade is the way you (plural) attempted to use the events surrounding the death of Tito, to make it seem like Pia had other intentions. she texted for prayers. true. she need help. true. she wanted to express gratitude for the help that was extended. true. she entrusted her mother to you: true. she trusted you: sadly, true.

and yet… you, all of you, see her in your jealousy-tainted eyes and portray her as someone who engages in prevarication and fabrication of facts! SHAME ON YOU!!! ALL. OF. YOU!!!

Pia has kept her peace and refrained from posting a reply hoping that you will do the same. it is my hope that you will come to your senses and let this issue rest.
