Can't Get Enough of You (*_*)

This is really mushy. UBER mushy. Sorry, just can't help to post. He has already turned my world upside down. Never in a million years would I thought and expect him to be saying these things to me one day. *Blush.

Thankful on Thanksgiving Day :)

Since it's Thanksgiving, allow me to pen the wonderful things I'm thankful for in my recent life. :) Thank you dear God:

1)   for him, yes for him. :)
2)   for the good health of my old folks.
3)   for not giving up on me.
4)   for wonderful people at work.
5)   for photography
6)   for nature.
7)   for friends.
8)   for trials.
9)   for financial provisions.
10) for love. :)

Thank you as well for this sunset on a Thanksgiving day (taken on top of our house). I am one of the fortunate ones who works for American companies, thus, have today as a holiday! ;-)

Won't Last a Day Without You

"When there's no gettin' over that rainbow,

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

I can take all the madness the world has to give...

But I won't last a day without you..."

Our typical day starts with him greeting me good morning. That's the cue to our day-long chat, a day of chitchats about anything under the sun... in Singapore and in the Philippines. Him in SG, me in PH or wherever it is in this planet that we feel like talking about. :)

We share everything, from the mundane tidbits of our day to the most treasured dreams in our hearts. Trivial things suddenly become the source where the sincerest and simplest of affections flow. Eat muna. Rest ka na. Bangon na baka malate ka. Drink lots of water.

Sure, our days are not perfect even if we have each other on the other line. We face challenges at work. We deal with stuff that test our faith. We walk in two different worlds where we don't physically see each other everyday. That's the reality of him being there and me being here. Long distance as they say.

It's hard now and I know it'll be harder in the next coming days, months, perhaps years. Right now though, it's enough that we know we have each other, that we can talk (thanks to technology) in any means possible without depleting him of his resources (long distance calls, I know they're expensivel.. hehe). :)

What's keeping me and us now is that at the end of the day, we know we have each other. Our talks at night about how our day went, the people we met, the things that made us laugh, keep us going. Sealing our nights in prayer is always, always, the sweetest thing in this world that I will never ever trade for anything, not a million dollar.

Yes, no matter how hard the day is, I can't last it without him. He's always enough for me. Always.

It's his Birthday Today!!!

And look, we're messing around in Skype:

And he misses me: :)

One Sunday at the Airport

At NAIA Terminal 2 one November day; 11:00 AM

Sipping coffee at Ka Kun Kaya, waiting for my 12:05 PM flight, surfing the net and perusing your flight itinerary with a sheepish smile on my face. Yay! You are really going home! Why did my heart skip a beat on that? I guess, I'm excited and anxious. Yes. Excited and anxious to see what lies before us upon your homecoming.

*Hush. Be still my heart.

Bagay Tayo Bagay

This is how it all started officially. Well, it has started that one night in October when he met me for a dinner (you can call that a date). You may not want to read this, this is so mushy it’ll kill you. Don’t say you weren’t warned. :D

.  .  .

HIM: Me nabasa ako, sabi Nya, Hindi tayo Tao, hindi hayop. Bagay tayo bagay.
ME: Joke ba yan?
HIM: Oo, joke sya
ME: super slow ako ngayon.... sorry... di ko magets...
ME: sirit..
HIM: ano ba! Yun na nga e, bagay tayo as in bagay
HIM: I mean, gets?
HIM: Hahaha
HIM: Actually, parang Hindi kape kelangan mo, tulog
ME: WaaAaaaah... oo... sobra.. incoherent na ako...

LATER

ME: hay naku nagets ko na ung joke mo!!!
HIM: Hahahaha
ME: You think so???
HIM: Hahahaha
HIM: What do you say?

PAUSE

ME: Lam mo minsan, mas malabo ka pa sa mata ko.
HIM: Hahaha, okay.
HIM: To answer your question. I do. And I do hope that you and the Lord have the same opinion. Though I'm not going to rush my case. Pero nandito lang ako.

LONG PAUSE

ME: Sleepless and speechless...
HIM: hahaha, never mind it now. Im stupid, I know.
HIM: Wow. Irish debt crisis
ME: Don't you dare change topic..
ME: you've confused me enough already.
HIM: I think so. I think I may have to call you. Let me know if your free to talk.
ME: I’m going home na (5:30 PM)
ME: let's talk. 11:00 PM. will catch some sleep first.

.  .  .

11:00 PM. Phone ringing. Oh gosh.

“Hi...”

You were saying, “So Lai... I’m now crossing the line...”

Holding my cellphone tight, I managed to keep my heart from jumping out of my skin. I still couldn’t believe I was hearing these words from you.


The rest folks is history. :)

Remembering Singapore

A good friend of mine working in Singapore has sent me these photos in the last few days via his iPhone3! I swear I'm going to get that phone when finances allow (unfortunately not so soon). On why he is sending me random photos, I'm not particularly sure. It's going to be a long story altogether if I tell you the timeline of events leading to this and you might form your hypothesis and conclusion on the matter before I can even form my own. I'm touched for the thoughts and the effort to capture then send me the images more than the photos themselves. (*_*)

I've been to Singapore twice in 2008. I've seen the glorious Fullerton and the grandiose Esplanade. These photos make me want to visit SG for the third time. I'm sure there will be A LOT of changes. Wonderful changes. *Wink.

For a Change

For a change, I come in at 7:30 AM! *Clap clap to me! :)

I woke up with a heart still beating fast just before 4:00 AM today and immediately began the day in prayer. Yesterday was beautiful, wonderful and fabulous all rolled into one that my heart couldn't seem to sleep while my physical being dozed off.

God you are really awesome! While I was talking to you this morning, I realized the reasons behind the mistakes, broken dreams and failed relationships. How all these things led me to where I am right now, how you orchestrated all of these to give the kind of people I need and I will love. I'm grateful God. The beautiful things that I'm experiencing right now may be too beautiful for words, still too far from reality, but they make me see the world brighter.

Still more to come to this day. :)

Here Without You

"I'm here without you baby...

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby...

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me, yeah"

.   .   .

So that was one of the songs and so many things that we talked about last night. Yay! It's just 8:20 AM in the morning and already I'm blogging about you. Yes you. I am 100% sure that no one reads this blog anyway and that is including you so I think I'm perfectly safe here. :)

One of the greatest, if not the sweetest thing, I found out from last night was that you are praying for me. Just how awesome is that? I thank God for you, for the friendship. If there's got to be more to this, it's up to God's will. I'm happy with what we have, here (although we're miles apart) and now. ;)

Coffee Break & Blog Break

I am very susceptible to falling in a deep sleep at this very moment that I am not allowed to rest my back on any chair or wall.  It's only 12:28 PM, I already had my lunch and now, I'm enjoying coffee over my free time---my blogging time! I had a wonderful quiet time with the Lord yesterday. I prayed in the morning, in the MRT and in the FX going home. Pray unceasingly, right? The truth is I'm hurting right now over what's happening with my career. But in times like this I realized I feel God's presence more than when everything is just normal.

I wrote in my last post that I resolve not to be depressed anymore. I'm doing just that. I mean I'm hurting, yes, but I'm not depressed. Because you see when I'm depressed, I really really look depressed. It's like there's a big cloud hovering over me. I look like a dementor!

I've been stalking one blogger and I get inspired with her blog. For one, she's a Christian. Second, she's about the same age as me. Okay, I'm one year older than her but that doesn't make a big difference. Hehe... Third, she's chic, she's a hopeless romantic and she loves photography and blogging. So my point is, I see myself in her! Only she writes way way way (like gazillion times) better than I do.

Honest, she inspires me to write more. I mean what's this blog all about right If I don't write in it more? Besides, writing is really therapeutic for me even though I write mostly about nonsense stuff.

See, I don't really have one particular subject here. I just write whatever comes to my mind. It's much better this way sometimes right?

.   .   .

Time check: 12:42 PM. I'm done with my coffee now but I'm still sleepy. I feel much lighter thought that I've poured out some of my thoughts in this pensieve of mine.
