Yesterday and the day before was one of the most eventful days of my vacation… besides the fact that i was at last finally able to enroll without any glitches, i was even able to spend more time with my now-long-distance-relationship-boyfriend.. i know it was a gloomy Friday and Saturday with all the raining and the dark clouds and most people preferring to stay inside the solace of their own homes.. but for me, i was happy.. very much more happy now..
i know i’d just keep blabbing on and on about how happy i was yesterday and the day before that and i’ll just leave you wondering why and how i became this ecstatic.. and then i’ll just throw in more blabbing just to prolong your agony.. but i’m a bit generous now so i won’t keep you waiting any longer… well, how about i start now and i’ll just immediately proceed with the events that occurred yesterday…

JUNE 6, 2009 (Saturday)
Early in the morning, i tossed and turned on my bed. I could still hear the steady breathing of my younger brother sleeping on the bed next to mine. I could also hear my mom typing on the laptop’s keyboard, and i bet she’s playing online poker again. Still, i kept my eyes closed. I wasn’t in the mood to wake up fully yet. My hands reached for my cellphone under the pillow as i looked at the time. 8:30am. It wasn’t as early as i thought. I thought to myself on what i should do if I decide to wake up fully that time. Most probably I’ll look for breakfast, but i wasn’t in the mood to eat yet. So I left the thought and tried to go back to sleep. Just then, the phone rang. I deliberately placed the phone inside our room so i would be able to answer it first thing in the morning when my boyfriend calls to say that he’s on his way. My mom was nearest to it so she immediately picked up. I made a sound to let her know that i’m awake. She asked if i’d take the call and i said yes.
As i put the phone near my ear, i heard the voice i was most longing to hear. I know i’ve seen him the day before but still, different kinds of emotions flooded me. It still amazes me to think that i still have butterflies in my stomach whenever i hear his voice and when i see him. He thought that he was the one who woke me up and offered to give me more time to sleep but i declined his offer. Everybody knows how much i love to sleep and yet that thought immediately vanished and was replaced with talking to him instead. We talked and talked and talked until I finally had to do something and he said that he’ll call again just before he goes to my house. Which he did, and i sat in front of the tv waiting for him.
Eventually, i fell asleep. When he arrived, we watched tv and then we decided to go to the mall. I asked for permission from my mom and then we were free to go. I invited my brother and my cousins but they wanted to stay in the house and play computer games instead. I promised to be home by 5pm and then we’re off.
THINGS TO DO:
- TAKE A PICTURE – we did so using Jewella… last time, we picked the white function and so we picked the black function now.. i should be able to upload the pics sometime this week.. but it was fun taking all those pictures and decorating them afterward.. i actually failed in one those pics.. i forgot to pose and so i looked not-so-favorable-in-my-opinion.. this really sent me down.. Christian even noticed it, but i denied, it would be ridiculous if i ruined the moment for just one picture.. besides, i was having a lot of fun decorating our pictures with him..
- EAT CEASAR’s SALAD and SLAMMER’s CHICKEN NUGGETS – hahaha.. and i believe i am on a diet right now, but who cares? food tripping with Xtian was fun! and then we got to talk about a lot of things and then we teased each other.. basically, the food tasted really good and we were both grinning from ear to ear..
- SING - karaoke-ing in timezone was fun.. i got to sing the songs that i wanted to sing from him personally… the playlist was fun and it was the first time i realized that Rivermaya’s 214 can also mean Valentine’s day! (notes: i answered him exactly on that date ^-^) we sang a few songs and then after that, we decided to walk around..
Basically, this is where my mood started to waver. The day just sounded so perfect and I thought that nothing else could go wrong and spoil this mood. I suggested that we go to the playground at the center of Glorietta. We went there but then we realized we had nothing to do and so we went to the Picture Card stall but decided against it since we had no more money to spend. We walked a few steps when we suddenly met with his first girlfriend. I knew all about his previous girlfriends and I also know that he doesn’t bear any hard feelings towards them. I envied all of his other girlfriends but who wouldn’t? I was simply a normal girl taken aback with surprise to see his first girlfriend who also happened to be his longtime friend from childhood and his longest as well. I felt dizzy and my eyes were blurred. The girl waved at me so I smiled and waved back. I knew her as well, for we went to the same highschool but we weren’t batchmates.
From the moment he called her name, Christian said I did the 3 signs of shock which he abbreviated as S.F.S. which stands for something that i forgot but I remember that F stands for Frozen. He then took my hand and we started walking again but this time, without any direction. I know he wanted to lift up my mood again. He has this incredible talent of knowing when I’m down and upset. I just simply can’t hide anything from him which is a good thing since at least I don’t have to be the one to tell him that I’m down.
You should know that I have a very good imagination and I do admit that at that time that I imagined things that I should not. I asked myself that maybe he already took his other girlfriends to these kind of dates back when they were together. And just imagining that the fun that I’m having with what we are doing now is nothing compared to them doing the same thing together… haaaaay, probably it’s just my mood swings, I’m just so glad I didn’t really explicitly say how depressed I am at that time. But after that, we walked and went to places until I got rid of the green monster of jealousy and finally went home happy.
When we arrived back home, we ate the turon that my uncle made for merienda. He said that he liked it a lot which really made me happy. But then he had to go home soon. I told him to call me immediately after he arrived. He did which made my two uncles tease me. Then my white uniform arrived with my dad and cousin. I immediately fit it on and was happy to look at myself in the mirror. My mom then scheduled for a massage. I told Xtian and said that he’d just contact me when he’s in Laguna already.
The massage was so soothing!!! I wasn’t even taking note of the time. I didn’t realize that an hour has passed already. I would definitely get another massage next time. Back at home, my cousin Maki was there as well, all burned by her swimming escapades. We thought of going out late at night but then both sets of parents went against it. And so my day ends, happy. It may have it’s ups and downs but then I had so much fun that I wouldn’t mind going through this whole day again and again. ^_________^
