7th M♥nth

At Marina Bay Sands Skypark :)

February 2, 2011 - His last day at work after tendering his resignation. This is also our first day to roam around in SG. We only have 7 days in our itinerary before we say gooddbye again for the second time, after officially being a couple.

First stop: Marina Bay Sands Skypark. :) It had just rained that afternoon, SG was slightly damp. We went up to the Skypark to get view-struck. It was beautiful up there with a 360 degree view of the city. Thank you Singapore for treating him well... and for being a beautiful pitstop in our love story.

Me in probably one of the happiest days of my life. See the glow? ;)

Tourists chillin' out.

1. 1. 11 :)

There are days when you couldn't wish for more. Today is one of them. :) It's a new year. I have my special someone beside me.  We held hands. We took some photos like I always wished we would.  We witnessed a beautiful sunset. It's indeed a wonderful New Year... and I believe, I truly believe... the best is yet to come. My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude for the One who made all these awesome things possible. (:

"Every long lost dreams led me to where you are,

Others who broke my heart, they are like Northern Star

Pointing me on my own, into your loving arms,

This much I know is true...

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you..."

We remember moments

I have welcomed December with all my heart together with all the things attached to it: 13th month pay, chilly air, longer nights, glittery lights and grandeur christmas trees, amongst all other christmassy stuff.

Oh dear life, thank you for being so goooood, awesome gooood to me lately and sending me all these awesome moments to record in this online diary of mine, save for later recollections in life.

Cherishing every moment of it, 
Lai

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: :)

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.
