I’m just happy coz it turns out I’m gonna have what I want with a little less effort. It’s really one of my strengths, I believe – I know how to say “no”. It had saved me from a lot of troubles and discomfort already. I’m also not very easy to be led and to some extent, yes this is a strength, too, coz sometimes people are just bossy, they are not good leaders. There has to be someone to stand up against them and say “no” in their faces! It feels nice to have my way and yeah, be bitchy sometimes.
We watched Twilight today. I’d say it’s a little juvenile. Or maybe the timing wasn’t just right. I’m so over high school, very past my teenage years when the hype spread like a virus. The saga started during a time when I’m already head over heels a boy and definitely not looking for my dream man in the large screen. But the story telling of this love story is really pretty. It’s as pretty as the actors playing the characters. Like I always say, it’s who you are with, who you watch a movie with. It’s one of the best date movies out there. I’m not into what’s fad but given the limited choices of movie in cinemas on our 35th month together, I’d say it’s a good watch. I’ve been a teen, too. I can understand what the other movie goers are gushing about.
God knows what to do. I am amazed how Patrick star has this wisdom and how it is so natural for him to not worry a lot because as he said, God knows what to do. I, on the other hand, am a natural worrier. I like how he complements me. Thank God I found him. When the going gets tough between us, I want to be reminded of this fact; a very simple fact that means a lot. Actually, when I think of it, it could be something that could get us through the toughest times in the future.
In less than a month, we’ll be celebrating our third anniversary. I want to revisit the place where I said yes three years ago. It was in Maricel’s apartment in Malolos. I now have a reason to contact long-lost Maricel (or should I say log-lost me?). I’ve got to ask her directions how to go to her old place. A s a start of my reminiscing mood, I went back to BSU today. I just wanna see how it looks now. It’s been a long time since I last went there. The hallway to gate 1, the nursing building, and the table on the administration building -those are the spots that hold value to our start. My school has become important to me in a way that supersedes its educational purposes. It’s amazing how that institution touched my life, really.
I’m happy today because the date is different. It’s different because it’s so normal. We have returned to the basics. He asked me for a date. He planned the actual date. Him dropping me off at our jeepney stop and saying goodbye right on that spot. It hadn’t happened for a long time since I am now working in Pasig. The times I was able to go to Malolos were very few. After spending nine years of my life going through Tabang-Malolos-Tabang route, then suddenly not doing it for almost two years make me miss it. Weak planning everything before, then not doing it somewhere along the way for almost two years makes me miss that, too. Those two things happened today. Two voids were filled.
We found a bookshop in Cabanas that sell books very ideal for giving this Christmas. There are inspirational and religious books. There are also planners and inspirational cards for affordable prices. I’ll continue the second part of my Christmas shopping there-this time for my workmates. I’ve started last week already for my cousins and my Nanay who joyfully pointed out all the presents she wants (she was with me at the mall last week). I have to start wrapping gifts also. Maybe tomorrow as soon as the headache’s gone.
