Daybreak

… a day during our Island Hoping in Visayas on March. As breaking the dawn we decided to take a walk along the shore to pep up and enjoy cool breeze of the sea, pampered our feet tapping fine granules of white sands and greeted the good day and kissed the morning sun. Under the purple sky, we indulged our eyes as it slowly bare scenic picture of the beach and I enjoyed picking tiny sea shells like token to bring home. I started to pack things during sunup and got surprised by the depiction registered in my digicam. It was great but I got more amazed as I hardly recognize a familiar image on the side- it was me and I totally have no idea about it. Sweet. Isn’t it nice to be with someone who’ll always there with you in bringing the best out of this life? This is my favorite picture during the entire trip. Very picturesque because it captured the calmness of the place, drama of the lights and solemnity of the moment. More than that, I find it very special because it depicted the love in the heart of the caring person who eyed on it. (Panglao Island, BOHOL)

Feast for Unknown Occassion

No offense and no intention of boosting myself. I just want you to share this.

My financial condition was very liquid lately. During payday, I receive mine in full for the whole month ( I was not able to collect the other payday though) and last week I got my last paycheck from my recent office which took four months to process. To my surprise, I receive double to what I expected.

So, I sum them all and kept portion for the savings, another part for my Mom (its my obligation), I settled my cards ahead of due dates, and I spoil my younger Sis with two pairs of shoes of her choice and some tops (an advance birthday gift).

Last week, I dine in my favorite Italian food shop known here for its big servings-heaven for people who do not include the word "DIET" in the vocabulary. With me were my Sis and two best friends from former office. We got too bloated after not just because of those foods but more of it were air reaped as we shared boisterous laughters. Believe me my girl friend “M” marked as queen of talk and laugh. She’s totally hilarious.

The following day, I invited four of my closest friends in my present office including my boss for lunch. After minutes of walk and shop hop, we all decided to dine in a Filipino resto along Glorietta 3 best known for its watery local cuisine. Its an Eat-All-You-Can. Too delighted with great foods. we extended our lunch break for another hour (not bad coz I’m with the boss). No foods got escaped from these greedy eat lovers. We really made P289 worthy up to its last centavo.

On weekend, I was In the mall and captured two familiar faces among the crowds- a sweet couple, former officemates and seldom seeing friends. We shares hours of good laugh and nice conversation over delightful food.

This lunch, I brought my division to share a 3 KFC Bucket Meal. I sent the invitation via e-mail right before lunch. Being the newest specie in the division, I took the opportunity to be-friend with the group. For months of working here, I never had casual talk with them other than work. I don’t want to create a nerd image here. And I think I made a good work- it was really fun-full mid-day. I spent for 3 Bucket Meal and gained a dozen of new comrades. Ei, my Sis joined us- she's few blocks away from my office.

All of them ask the cause of the invitations- I refuse to comment but at the back of my mind, the answer is there… its for our 2^nd ANNIVERSARY.

I'm alone now...

Yeah, you read it right! ... and times like this remind me of bliss moments together. I really miss it. These are what I love about my relationship…

1. waking up every morning and getting welcome with a very familiar face glancing at me

2. Seizing sunup with hugs and kisses and still finding it sweet even after more than 6 hours of sleep,

3. free-cuddles for half an hour until alarm begs us to get up and rush

4. taking every day’s breakfast together while discussing today’s errands

5. wishing me a good luck, a nice day ahead, I’ll miss you, see you this afternoon, take care and I love you through a single act of kiss before going to work.

6. a regular phone call in the mid of the day to confirm if I already had lunch.. follow-up question- WITH WHOM? (in a very suspicious tone)

7. playing tug-of-war WITH time just to rush off office and keeping myself waiting in a regular place where we always meet heading home

8. Dining together

9. being pampered with fine touches of powder to relax upon getting home

10. having a company and sharing big laugh in watching comedy until midnight

11. doing shower together

12. asking for more powder to dry and relax

13. enjoying minutes of conversations until getting sleepy

14. good night kiss

15. sound sleep

That’s the routine, but lately, my life turned out of ordinary. I woke-up in the mid of the night find myself in the empty room hugged in pillows. There were mornings when I kept myself awake much ahead of the mobile phone which suppose to buzz me up. There is no morning rush, yet I can finish my routine in a snap. No two sets of uniform to iron. I don’t even take my breakfast. Worst, I can leave the house and nobody wishing me the best of luck for the day- as if nobody care for me. (Sighs). Getting home is not as excited as before. Watching movies is the only way to kill the time. Comedy is no longer that funny. No more shower before bed. Nobody pampered me with powder, I can hardly reach my back. And to ease the feeling of emptiness the least thing I can do is to grab my notebook and browse our collections of photos stored in it…somehow it can bring me smile. The silence of the night added the feeling of aloneness and the thought of missing somebody really kill me. I never had good sleep just like before. I hate feeling like this…… being alone.

Ei, we are not breaking up. And I don’t think it will happen. The universe knew how much i love my relationship. My other half is in the business trip for four days now and I still have to wait for six days more- looking forward for weekend to come. Seriously, it too bad to spend days in a way that I am not used to be.
