Exactly SIX years ago (Philippine Time).......
December 27, 2000 is merely just a date in an ordinary lunar calendar but to me I always consider that date as one of the best days of my life. Not to mention the cool December breeze and the morning mist of late December. It started over a simple text message from someone who means alot to me, that time. Ahm! Or shall I say until this very second... :D
He was whom I would consider my inspiration, or in kiddies term "crush"... lol! A text or a message from someone who matters most to you is like a melody that keeps on playing in your heart. I was in my freshmen college and he was on his senior high. We were never really introduced formally and we don't even know how things started. The smile, the text messages, and then friendship. Perhaps, that time it just came up naturally for both of us... same wavelength of thinking. Hehe!
Then came the simple text conversations, greeting belated Merry Christmas and Advance Happy New Year kinda thingy! Haha! I couldn't remember much now the conversations we had but one thing is for sure he became my "boyfriend" all of a sudden! ;D It's just funny when you least expect things to happen. You feel like you're in cloud 9 but not really. Haha! That time somehow there was a little bit of curiousity that needs affirmation to some degree before I would consider it sealed. Just like that.... hehe!
Call me crazy or whatever you wanna call me but I never really knew him that well, he was my some sort of textmate and schoolmate. Series of adjustments were one of the greatest obstacles we both had to go through. Petty quarrels leading to tears. Sacrifice and pain rolled into one. Distance was a barrier. Life was crazy but I managed to hold on to my belief that when you love it has to be unconditional, no if's and but's.
It was affirmed! We're offically on. Hihi! Now what? I was speechless and couldn't even move from where I stood. lol! I felt the blood oozing out from my heart down to the veins of my arms and legs and my stomach suddenly turned upside down. It was the very first time in my life I've been in such anxiety! haha! Probably because it was the first time after two years of being loveless that I felt love again. Ngeeek! The worst part was that time we barely knew each other (I don't know how many times I've said this line -- but it's true!). The feeling of embarrassment, what the intentions were, what to say and how to say things were just everywhere in the scenario. I must admit, I was at that time scared! Hihi!
Even with the lack of knowledge of who we were at that point in time. We both learn each others weaknesses and strengths little by little as time goes by. We've been together for quite sometime now. Though somewhere along the journey in our relationship we lost track with each other. Painstakingly admitting that life has to go on, but God blessed that broken road we both took, coz somewhere along our individual journey in life, our roads meet again. Hehe! ;D The things we do, the hobbies, the likes and dislikes we both have on certain things, the laughters, the arguments, the good old memories, acceptance of who we both are and not and the love we both share is what keeps us together even with the distance. We both saw each other grew up and transform from being a "colehiyala" to a "working guru" in our field of expertise. Hehe! As the song goes "better together" -- Indeed! We both function better together!
As the day came to an end.... The conversation ended with no goodbyes just "see you later". That night, I continued thinking about how things started, like I was tracing some geneology, but all I can remember was that smile on his face. Hmmmm... I guess it all started there... Love really moves in mysterious ways!
I love you babe! ;D
