on july 4th, 1983

a baby boy was born.

who would turn out to be

a man with an endearing personality,

a man with wisdom beyond his age,

a man with such a genuine heart.


and today he turns a year older.


to a wonderful man...

geek, a happy happy birthday to you!

i could clearly remember it.

it was a june afternoon.

as i exited the airport doors with my trolley in one hand and 2 boxes of krispy kreme on the other.

you were there.

standing

waiting for me.

wearing a red shirt, slim jeans, white sneakers

and that wide smile on your face.


that was the first time i saw you.


and remembering that really brings a smile to my face.

just one the many happy memories of you.

that i hold dear to my heart.

“sir, kayo po ang groom?”

one of the attendants at the bridal store asked me.

“uhm, no” i answered sheepishly.

but what i really wanted to say was, “excuse me, ako ang proxy. proxy ng groom. pero pwede ring proxy ng bride.”



close friend will get married this july. she looked radiant when she tried on her gown (again. for the nth time :D). and paired with her four-inch purple stilettos. aaaahhhh stunning.

earlier today, i was browsing through the chat archives of my ym. i have this habit of reading old ym conversations i had with friends. i usually laugh at the things that i say and stuff that my friends and i talk about. it's really fun to look back and reminisce.

then, i stumbled upon the chat that i had with my ex. it was one of those very few chats that we’ve had on ym. very short conversations actually. nothing really special.

what really caught me was last conversation that we’ve had. it was the conversation three months after the last time i’ve heard from him. i was already starting to move on at that time. but a part of me was still hoping that we could still have another chance of getting back together. in short, i was still holding on.

so, he went online on ym. i summed up the courage to message him and said hi. then, a couple of kumustahan and updating.


lee: it was nice to talk to you again
ex: thanks lee
ex: same here
ex: ingat ka lage ha
lee: yep i am
lee: ikaw din take care of urself always
ex: :)
lee: ei sori nga pala last time ha
ex: saan?
lee: ung last text ko sayo
lee: medyo nagalit kasi ako nun
lee: sori
ex: di ko maalala
ex: wala ka namang nasabi ah
lee: hehehe ok
lee: pero just the same
lee: sorry
lee: akala ko kasi galit ka sakin
ex: wala yun


i really didn’t know why i asked for an apology. maybe at that time i thought that i could be the one to blame why he left me for no reason at all. i guess i felt a bit guilty. after that conversation, i actually felt a whole lot better. i think it was at that moment that i told myself that i have to move on and be over about him.

i love to hold on to memories like a child to a balloon. but sometimes there really is a time to let go and appreciate the freedom that comes along with it.

and then, he made his way through my life again with this incident. lol.

i laugh and i cringe. hahaha.

oh well, i hope he’s doing good right now.

with all sincerity. :)

well, lee, i guess ur stuck with me now.

and stuck i will gladly be. i will cling on you.

how about i’ll be the one to cling to you? better yet, let’s cling to each other...

i like that idea better. :)

...

My partner once told me this:

remember i told you dati na lucky ang someone na makacatch nimo... :) i am lucky then...

but then, i told him:

i am lucky also because you were there to catch me. so, we're even then. :x

...


you just don’t know how much

you’ve made me

so happy.

thank you!

to us, a happy 1st year.

:)

it’s been a while since i’ve written anything here. a lot of things have happened during the past months but i just didn’t have the energy to write.

work (and stress) has eaten so much of my time in the office that i barely get a chance to do my usual “intense” bloghopping like before. and when i get home, i just want to plop down on the bed, just laze around and watch the television mindlessly. i just want my brain to be devoid of thinking.

i really missed writing here. this was my exercise. my brain exercise.

and now, i feel like my brain juice is all dried out. i don’t even know if i’m making any sense here. rambling. spewing non-sense.

brain freeze.

ugh! i really need to have a brain work-out.

oh! i met rio dela cruz (that famous marathon coach) yesterday. he’s really cute. he reminds me of my partner.

that’s all. ay thank you.

bow.
