Clueless

My parents are so clueless! I had never told them the actual reason why my ex-boyfriend and I broke up because:

1.) My lovelife is my own friggin' business
2.) I don't want to hear them say, "I told you so."
3.) Even if I tell them the truth about WrongAtAllLevels cheating on me, in the end, I will still be the one who will hear their loooooong lecture about waiting for the right guy, not taking your boyfriend seriously when you're still studying and of course, pre-marital sex.

For the last few days, I have recently been going out a lot at night because a few of my highschool classmates are currently back in Zamboanga. Except for the occasional reminders not to go home late, I never heard them say anything bad about my frequent going out. It was only yesterday when I found out from my sister that my parents have been incessantly nagging her about telling them the reason why WrongAtAllLevels and I broke up. It seems that, for them, my frequent barhopping was some kind of defense mechanism. They believed that I don't actually enjoy going out a lot at night and that my recently frequent barhopping was apparently my way of trying to prove something to my ex-boyfriend.

My Gaaaaaddddd! After all the times that they had scolded me for all the screw-ups that I've done, it amazes me that my parents still don't know me at all. FYI, one, although I like to stay at home sometimes, basically I still love going out at night, especially with friends. The only reason why I didn't do so for the past few years was because my ex-boyfriend didn't like it. Two, it's been more than two months since WrongAtAllLevels and I broke up. My actions don't have anything to do with him anymore. Three, despite the absence of a boyfriend, I am happier now. Why should I waste my time being defensive or trying to prove anything to my ex-boyfriend when we're not even talking to each other at all?

Sigh... my parents are so clueless... Strangely, I love them anyway.
