The Best Monthsary I Had. :))

It's when I had to wait for 3 hours in a mall because you're still in class.
It's when it drizzled and started to rain when we got to church.
It's when we had a small "drama" all the way to the new restaurant we wanted to try.
It's when we got stuffed with the food, but weren't really satisfied because we didn't get to try their pizza.
It's when I struggled not to cry and then I heard you say something I didn't like.
It's when we stood for 25 minutes waiting and waiting for a ride home.
And all the while I had to shift between laughing and crying, smiling and frowning.
Keeping myself from looking somehow ridiculous.
But what can I do? That was how I really felt.

Still as I look back, it's the best monthsary I had.
Because you took me home and greeted my mom.
And went on listening to all my rantings.
I love the way you let me explain and say what I think and feel.
Talking things over and hugging and kissing with a little bit of crying.
I love the way you wipe away my tears (literally) and say how sorry you are.
And the way you tell me how much you love me.
So there you stayed until midnight just to make sure I'm alright.
When we bid goodbye I was more than okay, smiling and happy as can be.

At the end of the day it felt as if nothing went wrong and everything was perfect.
I realized that no matter how terrible a day could be, what matters is who you spend it with.
I can't help but smile at the thought of how much we love each other.
And for the Nth time I thanked God it's us and not somebody else.
No, I would never trade that day for anything else. <3

Happy Fourth Monthsary Vhartsy :))

How Sweet It is to be Loved by You

This song is really one of my favorite songs in the world. Makes my heart go skipping with happiness even on a bad day. It reminds me of how lucky I am to be loved by the people I also love. God bless James Taylor for this! :))

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I needed the shelter of someone's arms, there you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs, there you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion
I want to stop and thank you baby
I want to stop and thank you baby (yes I do)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (feel so fine)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yeah)

How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's just like sugar sometimes)
How sweet it is to be loved by you

(Woah, yeah)

You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else
I want to stop and thank you baby
I just want to stop and thank you baby (woah, yes)

How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you (woah, now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (it's like jelly, baby, woah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you (just like honey to the bee babe, yeah now)
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

If The Shoe Fits...

I got a text message that says, "If true love is what we need, then why don't we recognize it when we see it?"

Pffft. People are natural-born grumblers.

It's because (more often than not) we make our own sugarcoated idea of what love is. We are blinded by the rigid criteria and expectations that we have so intelligently thought up for ourselves. He should be like this. She should be like that. The list goes on, and we realize we want it when it's too late.

And it's not always about love. It could be an opportunity. A job. A business. A friendship. Something that could give us happiness if we just give it a chance. We may not know, but it could be the best we'd ever have.

It takes skills to discern an opportunity and a good deal of courage to go for it.

I pray to God that I'll be able to do so. I hope you will, too.

If the shoe fits... wear it! <3

Temporarily Untitled :))

"I look like a bum who got himself a nurse for a girlfriend," you told me with the emphasis and sincerity only your eye-to-eye contact and half-smile could bring.

"We're more like the nurse-janitor couple you heard about in the radio joke," I added in a matter-of-fact way. Then another bout of laughter.

There we are in the nearest mall, me in my all-white Type C nursing uniform, and you in your green "Go Team" T-shirt, denim shorts, slippers and backpack to complete the look (I'm sorry I just HAD to be more specific on your getup for this post). But if people were keener in senses they would notice that despite our "funny loveteam" look, we are both happy, contented, and oh so in love with each other. (CHEESE ALERT!)

I am constantly amazed at how we always manage to squeeze in our irregular, hectic schedule the meager chance of seeing each other. Even if it means me walking 100kph after an exam because there's still 35 minutes left before it's your turn to go to your own review class. Even if it means you finding any reason to go to school just so we could be together on our way home. Oh, we do have our ways. Haha! :))

We'll I guess it just shows how much we love and enjoy being together, inside the bounds of rationality, of course. Talking to you is one of the best things in life. I smile like a fool and laugh my heart out when I'm with you and I don't care. <3

With this post I would like to thank you for all the things that we do so we could be together. Although it just comes naturally, not just an out-of-duty affair. I thank you for all the random times where we could sing and dance together, walk in the rain, eat till we get stuffed, whisper "I love you's" in public places when we think no one is looking, and just goof around with friends. I thank God for giving us all these funny and sweet moments that I will always remember. I thank you for the love and friendship, and for making me the proudest girlfriend on earth. :))

I love you so much! You make my heart swell with happiness and sometimes I just fear it might burst into a million pieces. <3

If it does, silhigon man nimo diba? janitor. hahaha. atik lang!! mwa. mwa. mwa. I so love you vhartsypiemyfatsunshineimissyoukaayo. :))

Due to our Pre-Board Exam activity, I was wearing my nursing uniform. Gilbert, my boy-and-friend, was going to have his usual after-class basketball game. Hence, the abovementioned attire. :))
