syempre ang tagal ko na di nagpost...work, school, PC in my parent's room and the retirement of my digicam are just some of my excuses. gusto niyo pa ba ako magkwento? kami pa naman eh so pwede pa..hehe.  how do i start? how it all began buh? we were introduced by a common friend. (may 2006 actually NFF ko pa lang siya before) when she learned that i was single, she immediately thought of setting me up w/ her boyfriend's friend who was coming back from iraq. (who she said grew up in baguio din) we spoke on the phone muna. kunwari pa kaming dalawa na no care...iyong tipong parang pinilit lang i-set up. i did not have an idea on how he looked like. he had a deep voice so i assumed na he was a tall guy. first conversation pa lang we laughed a lot na. kalatkalat nga lang topics na pinaguusapan. he continued to text me after that. after 2 weeks, we finally met in person. pa-effect pa iyong friend namin. sinurprise pa ako kuno. kunwari she wanted to meet up w/ me. iyon pala daladala na niya si robert. as u can see he looks like your typical rugby boy este noypi pala..haha..joke! pero there was sumthin 'bout him na naisip ko na parang "hmmm...pwede.." we got to hangout a couple of times w/ our other friends before he went back to new mexico where he is based. i felt there was an attraction na pero syempre it was too early too tell. baka natutuwa lang ako kasi mejo weird iyong humor niya. ang gulo din na makulet. before leaving he bought me a bouquet of roses and a necklace. di nga lang nya nabigay sa akin personally. i had my usual crazy ideas pag may gumagawa sa kin ng ganito: iyong nagsetup sa amin ang nagpilit na gawin iyon for me naintriga lang siya kasi i'm a no-bf-since birth this was his normal routine kasi this was something so typical that any guy would do he continued to text me and i found myself replying naman. looking back, i think i was even trying to make my response as witty as possible kasi kung success he would be calling me and we would end up talking for hours. this continued for a few months until he came to california again. pero parang stopover lang nya kasi he was gonna go to PI for a vacation. this time he gave me a bracelet naman and he was able to tell me in person how he was beginning to feel for me. pagnag-uusap kasi kami sa phone halos puro patawa lang. (alam na namin na inaantok na kami pag nagiging seryoso na usapan) the more i got to know him the more i see myself in him pa: aside from the weird sense of humor, we laugh the same way bulag din siya (malabo din ang kanyang eyes kaya feeling ata niya maganda ako tapos feeling ko maganda din siya..haha) ano pa ba? sensitibong manhid? bobong nerd? pikong sutil? mayabang pero olatz naman? puro contradictions noh. so feeling ko talaga i've found my weird counterpart talaga. kaya "hearting" him was oh so naturel..parang it was "hearting" myself lang. (syempre lumabas nanaman pagkanarcissistic ko.) fastforward na lang tayo to december 2006. he came to california again to spend the holidays. we got to spend time together. we just spoke about "us" na lang towards the end. i had no reason na para patagalin pa kasi i was already sure na i wanted him in my life. we were already able to talk about my fears, doubts and anxieties. he was able to give me answers that were fairly reasonable. (ewan ko kung ganun lang siya talaga kagaling mambolex..haha) fast forward tayo ulet to the present. we were together nung v-day weekend for a lake tahoe trip. syempre sinundo at hinatid ko siya sa airport. we spent 4 days together kaya super sad talaga when he left. so ngayon back to our long distance affair. here's a slideshow i did. (parang ang cheezy nga eh...well i guess that's a good sign..at least i still have symptoms of bein in ) |
