Uno!

I don't know what I did right in my 27 years of existence to deserve a brother like Gio, he is smart, caring and can I say smart again?! haha He was able to get 1.0 in two of his subjects last semester. Yeah you read it right - 1.0 beybeh! Sometimes when things don't go my way, Papa Jesus makes it a point to slap me in the face and show me how lucky I am. 

Every sacrifice I made to make ends meet and to make our lives comfortable is worthwhile. So what if my savings account is not as big as people my age? What I have is the sense of fulfillment that my brothers and sisters give me every single day. They are my biggest achievement. They will always be. And right now I am one proud Ate! :)

Yesterday.. today.. tomorrow..

Yesterday was awesome - well, my whole weekend was awesome. Last Saturday, Miguel and I went to Antipolo to celebrate Yashy's 7th birthday. Why was Saturday so special? Because you see, Yashy is Yssa and Joseph's eldest daughter, and Yssa and Joseph are my highschool friends. Super close friends. So, it wasn't just a children's party it was our mini reunion as well. It was also special because it was the first time that Miguel met my highschool buddies and it was a big deal for me. I want my closest friends to meet the person of my today, my tomorrow and my forever.

I was happy that my friends liked him. They were saying that he was easy to be with. Hindi sya alagain kasama e, I can leave him with my friends without worrying na ma-OP sya, he can take care of himself plus I am lucky to have friends who are so welcoming and supportive of my life in general. Migs and I had to cancel our November 19 date just because the group wanted to go to the beach that day. I liked that when I asked Migs if he wanted to just go with them he answered: "Kung asan ka Mahal, andun ako". He is supportive of my happiness that way. I loved how Miguel saw a different side of me, highschool friends always brings out the kid in me. I want Miguel to see the good and the bad in me. 

A negative thing though is that I am taking too much of his time already. He always says yes whenever I ask him to tag along with my friends and family, he has been cancelling basketball games and I know his friends miss him already. That's why I am letting him have some time to himself, i don't want his world to revolve around me and his work. That aint healthy. 

Just to share, yesterday we were together - we ate lunch, watched some videos and talked the afternoon away. When I am with Miguel time seems to fly away. I really don't know where the hours, minutes and seconds go when I am with him. I like that he can see a future with me - it makes my heart flutter when he talks about stuff that we can do together. I love that I am part of his goals and I like that he includes 'us' when  he is planning for his future. Yesterday, he held me while we slow danced without any music, we just talked. I felt secure and loved and happy. 

Anyhoo, this is my 100th post in this blog :) 

Toodles!

October 30, 2011 - The Jason Mraz experience

It was our first concert together. Yeah, I have a thing for milestones and the thing about new relationships is that there are tons of firsts and I make a mental note of the details of each and every one of our firsts. I am ridiculously in love. :)

I was strutting in my 5-inch heels with Miguel's arm around me while mentally humming Jason Mraz' "You and I both" a little before 8pm. I was giddy from the moment we reached Cubao area and I became giddier the moment we got to our seats. The place was packed! Good thing we got patron seats. When the lights dimmed my heart skipped a beat -- there was no front act, no silly introductions -- it was Jason Mraz right from the start 'til the very end.

There was no band just three guitars which he rotated all throughout the concert and Toca Rivera's wonderful musical hands and reggae voice. It was pure talent. I am not familiar with some of the songs he played, but I literally jumped off my seat when he sang "You and I both" and my hips swayed when Jason played "Remedy". Awesome night. Epic. It was the kind of concert where you don't need to know the lyrics of the songs to enjoy the music. We went there for the talent and it was worth every peso.

All throughout the concert Miguel kept saying that Jason M. has yet to play "I'm yours", he was about to give up hope when Jason and Toca suddenly did their bap-bap-du-bi-da-wap thing and started humming the intro of "I'm yours". I can see from Miguel's face that he was excited as ever! We danced side by side, we hugged, we sang out loud, we kissed and we smiled at each other. It was romantic. It was the perfect end to a perfect evening. 

Spell effort: M-I-G-U-E-L

I woke up with my head breaking in to two and lights blinding me. I tried getting up to take  bath and get ready for work but my head was killing me so I had to call in sick for the day. My brothers left me with pandesal and I still have the medicine that my boyfriend bought for me last weekend so I was pretty much geared up to sleep off the whole day.

I was going in and out of consciousness the whole morning -- which was a good thing, and then my Miguel decided to drop by and play nurse with me. I know how much effort he puts in just to be with me but I never expected him to come all the way to Quezon City after working from last night to 2pm this afternoon. He made me smile and he made me drink my medicine on time and he made me eat. As usual we were able to talk nonstop, he made me feel better than I was the moment I woke up this morning. I appreciated that he stayed even longer to have dinner with me and my brothers. I appreciated him even more when he kissed me and told me he loves me before he went home to get ready to go back to work again.

Thank you Love for spending time with me, baby-ing me, fulfilling my chicken joy craving, hugging me when I am cold, forcing me to drink my meds and letting me feel every single day that you love me. 

Yeah I am one lucky girl. I love you Miguel!
