Two years, eight months, three
weeks and six days on Saturday, June 23, 2012… Just another work of destiny; I was looking for a perfect match; you were looking
for a perfect catch and then, in a twisted work of fate, I met you.
And it all begins…
A girl can like a guy for all his sweet antics but she can only love a
man with a sincere intention, a man who doesn’t promise all his wealth but all that
he is.
The short-spanned courtship…
Courtship is no longer about the length of time but the feelings evoked, it's when both of you try to create a portal into each others’ reality. In each passing day you’ll see that what was once a vague portrait of your future is now beginning to crystallize into a happy ever after of a life together. You'll always start thinking of TWO..
I've been given a bouquet of flowers, but I never thought you’d do it almost every day and thrice a day! Mommy
even asked me, “Is he planning to turn this house into a flower shop?” So did
my friends, so did I. But being important to someone’s life, other than your
family and friends, is such a wonderful feeling. Love teaches you to see the
world in different perspective, suddenly; a heaven on earth.
On food: You bloated my stomach and stuck in there NO BABY. Eating is
an essential part of our story; our love blossomed over bilao and the bests of
Palmeras, boodle fight of Alberto’s, Curacha de La Vista, lechon and a long
list of carbs and fats. Our sizes bear so much significance to our love: the
bigger we grow, the stronger the bond.
Why I finally said, YES…
Because I don’t want to be on a
date every day, I don’t want to be fetched from house to school and vice versa,
don’t want to be seen with a guy, don’t want to be treated like a Princess, I
don’t! But I was controlled. And it was a very unusual feeling, you got me so
confused, all messed up. And worst, you got me needing you… a lot. And being
needed in return was a great feeling too, so what can I do? I guess, that’s a
love come true?
What’s love got to do with it?
It’s not always about flowers,
chocolates and food. There will certainly be rough times. So what’s our secret?
WE FIGHT. (Like WTF happened?! LOL.)
We fight for each other NEVER against each other. The goal is, to get to the bottom of the problem, adjust if there’s a need and
strengthen the relationship. We can have a healthy argument without ever losing
respect for each other. Focus on the goal.
We’re a team, that’s why we sort
things out—together. So it’s not always about love. It has to be commitment.
The sweetest things he did…
The Perfect Date with Ondoy. Date
at La Vista del Mar in the midst of a typhoon. Truly, love respects no
obstacles. I had to catch my breath when I saw where we’re heading. It was the
tree house reserved exclusively for the two of us. It was so serene up there.
The soothing sound of the waves, the cold breeze that relaxed my mind and eased
every inch of the tension between us with the tiny-twinkly lights from afar set
the mood for a magnificent evening. Everything was magical. And it was just the
start of his surprises. When we reached the table positioned at the balcony, I saw a big bunch
of flowers delicately arranged and, I think, a card with his dedications
inside. My heart could have collapsed if not for the inviting smell of delish
food. After the dinner, when I thought that surprises were over and done with,
a waiter approached us and with him, was a cake with three words that blew me
away. It was so surreal. And by that time, I was sure that it was the greatest
way to end a date.
The first February 14. The
first to reserve that roof deck of
Grand Astoria Hotel in Pasonanca. J
How amazing is it to be in a huge place at the top of a building with nothing
else but just a single elegantly arranged table of two chairs at the center, a
heart-shaped pink cake with “I love You”, bouquet of flowers with candle
lights? Not to mention a spotlight that would make you feel the most important
lady in the world. And of course, the man you love on your first valentine’s
dinner.
Thank you so much for that memorable evening. Surely, it wasn’t the
grandest date of a lifetime or the most expensive. But I wouldn’t ask for more.
Not when something like that was prepared wholeheartedly. J
The promise…
The promise is to stick together
through thick and thin. No ifs. No buts.
No regrets, no holdbacks, no
second thoughts…
Happy 1000 days, love!
1K days, 2 people, 1 Destination..
'happy ever after.'
