Which Sleeping Style Are You?

Doesn't it feel good to sleep with the person you love? The security and the comfort. I got this email from a friend and I just find it amusing.

"mas matagal ko na silang kilala"

until now, im hurt everytime i remember these words. Two years ago, he invited me to come with him for a drinking session with his friends. It was his friend's cousin's birthday. Before that, we planned to watch a movie together and he said we'll just pass by and stay for just 2 or 3 hours. I said it's fine with me. Then 12 midnight.. he said if we could stay until 2 am. I said it's ok. And guess what it's 3 am already and we were still there!

i am easily bored and i am really not into drinking parties. and besides it is his friend's cousin's celebration. and i felt like am someone who got invited by someone who was also invited. His friends were ok. I talked with them, drank some beer and got to know them a little. But, it was already 3 am! I hope you understand how i felt that time. I was already impatient and my face is showing it. I asked my bf if we could go home. He said, if they can still stay longer because he will be driving some of his friends home. What? really, it's ok that he offers a ride home for his friends, but.. oh well..

this weekend, his friend's dad passed away. He wanted me to come with him saturday night to the wake. I said, sure. There was no problem with that. I suggested that we can stay there for 2 or 3 hours then we can go to my friend's party in Metrowalk. He said, it would be impossible because he is planning to stay there til morning. He will be driving his friend's home. His friends can commute. Why does he always have to offer a ride home?

It's really ok, but i just hope that he is also thinking about us. I know his friends can do good without a lift home from him. They could commute or whatever. They're adults! It's a bit selfish of me, but he is just always too 'available' for his friends.

i know that guys are loyal to their friends. but im loyal too with my friends. OA na kasi ung sa kanya. He said I am selfish that I always think of what I want. But no, I think of things I thought that would help this relationship to grow and learn. I want him to balance things. I never stop him to go out with his friends and i would sometimes come with him when he wants me to meet his friends.. i really don't find anything wrong with that. But of course, i also want to have a 'me' time and 'us' time like i want him to have his own 'me' time.

If i was selfish I would have said no to his invitation. But, really it was fine with me to come along with him to the wake. but i also wanted to go to the party. and i know if he really wanted to come with me, it is possible. He went to the wake thursday, then he is planning to go back on saturday night, then sunday, he also wants to be there during the cremation. And he wants me to come along! It's ok na makiramay, pero ano naman ang gagawin ko doon. I barely know his friend and his dad! (but i feel bad having said that)

Fine, he knew his friends longer than he knew me. Having said that, I told him to just stick with his friends and leave me. I know he felt sorry after saying it and he was teary-eyed when i wanted to break up with him. but still, l feel a little pinch in my heart when those words echoes again, until now specially if he wanted to spend time with his friends instead with me. But as i've said, i never prevented him to go out with them.

You see, it's only once in a week that we see each other. and i always want to have a quality time with him. Sometimes, we would go out with his friends that is also a couple. We had fun, we ate then watched a movie. Then went home. On the coming week, there was a typhoon so we weren't able to spend time together. On the third week, it was father's day so we celebrated the day with his family. And on the next coming week, he wanted to go out again with his friends.. I really felt upset. It's like he doesn't want to spend time with me alone together. It's always with his friends.. I told him how I felt and he understood. So he offered to accompany me to my lola's place in the coming weekend then we spent the entire weekend together.

He is a nice guy, I swear. If he wasn't then we wouldn't be together for more than 2 years. Sometimes, there are flaws in every relationship. And this is one little flaw that I discovered and learning to deal with. That's why, you always have to communicate what you feel. It's really important. We fight, we argue and everytime we have a serious fight, he would always hold my hand while we explain our sides. Sometimes, things dont' change in a nick of time or exactly how we want it to be. But love is patience and love is accepting each other's falut. I knew him that way, and I decided I can live with it because I love him, and I know he loves me (despite of my flaws, too).

Dinner with an Old Friend at Conti's

It has been three years before i saw her. Jaja, my blockmate came back to the Philippines for a 3-week vacay. And seeing each other is a must..

Our meeting place was in Rob's Place in Malate. RP, by the way, has changed a lot. It's bigger and better. They have a fountain outside and it's identical with the fountain found in Market!Market! Ha! Anyway, there are new shops and a new movie house and they have TATERS! I tried Naked's fruit shake and i was disappointed. I can make a better fruit shake. I just need to buy a blender.

Ok, we met jaja at around 8 and we drove to serendra to meet isah and her beau. Isah, a lil bit upset that she waited for more than an hour, thankfully reserved a table for us. You know Contis, you have to wait before a table gets vacated. So when we arrived at the restau, a table was available. :)

I ordered Chicken Marsala (which I tried to copy in my own kitchen), Jaja had a slice of cake, isah had chicken ala king and i forgot tin's order.

Jaja, the mall rat that she is, we decided to show her the new Bonifacio High Street. Unfortunately, shops were closed but it's ok. We had fun taking pictures. Good thing, it was past ten and there are few people so just look at the pictures we had. We weren't embarrassed to pose and shoot. Jologs noh?

Flirting with BF

instead of asking my bf to text me often (which he is too lazy for that), i started to play and flirt with him through text. Guess what it worked! We were exchanging messages even at 3am.

guys.. kailangan mo lang hulihin ang kiliti

We had a date last sunday and right after he went home, he sent me a message telling me I look hot with my dress and that he feels upset that i have to stay with my friends longer.

sigh.. i miss him.... :) but I learned to play as if i dont miss him that much.. but really i do.. of course, sometimes, i would love to make him think that im 'really' not into him or that he is not hot for me. guys dont like too clingy gfs, right?

of course, there are times that i make him feel like he is the sexiest guy (though,, he is not..LOL). sometimes, girls should compliment their man - even in the simples ways. Like telling him that he looks good in his shirt. I often do that. ang galing nya kasi magdala ng damit. :)

oh well i need to go back to work. til my next blog. ill tell you how me and my bf met :)

til death do we part

"In sickness and in health.. til death do we part.. "

...It's a vow
... a promise

I was at the hospital this morning for a follow-up checkup. While waiting for almost 2 hours, I found myself people-watching.

It just amazes me to see old couples accompanying each other. I saw an old man silently pushing his sleeping wife in a wheelchair. Beside me was another man reading the newspaper waiting for his wife to finish her consultation. Then a woman with a hanky wiped something away from the face of her bedridden Chinese husband..

Me? I was alone sitting, still waiting for my doctor - thinking if I will reach the age of 60 - will someone take care of me?

Sigh, then something hit me. My boyfriend, has asthma. He gets allergies when he is under pressure. He smokes, he drinks, doesn't go to the gym, loves to eat junks. Now, who do you think will take care of whom?

Though, I must admit, my bf is a caring person. He accompanied me even typhoon Frank was raging in Manila to the hospital when I was scared with my tonsils. He accompanied me when I had back pains because of UTI even if he hadn't slept yet. He drove to my home at midnight when I woke up with fever and brought me to the hospital (we were scared I caught malaria, we just got back from Palawan). And I thank him for all that.

And when he's sick, all I do is visit him and blame him because he doesn't know how to take care of himself (note: his unhealthy lifestyle). Then he complains i'm not sweet and that he could just imagine when we both get old and he's suffering, I'll just leave him in his bed. Of course when he does this drama, i still continue to rant. hehe

and anyway, what can I do? His mom is a nurse, his sister is a nursing fresh graduate and his brother is a doctor. What will my advice do? Haha.. But I think I'm a better nurse. I'll just give him 'ya-capsule' and 'kiss-pirin' cornee...

The doctor arrived just in time to break my reverie. But really, taking care of someone and being taken care of gives us a wonderful feeling.
I don't know. sometimes we want to take care of someone - the feeling of being responsible for him/her and making them feel you care. and sometimes we want to be looked for - to feel that we are loved.

Why I Hate Doctors

8:30a - arrived in Makati Med
9:00a - waited for the doctor
10:00a - still waiting
10:30a - doctor arrived
10:35a - secretary called me
10:45a - doctor told me I'm OK
10:46a - I went home

do see what I mean? if I didn't have a healthcard, I wil be paying 700 bucks just to hear my doctor say, "You're HEALED!"

On Firsts..

I must admit maaga akong lumandi.. no.. i meant, i first experienced to have a crush when I was in pre-school. then I had my serious first crush in 4th grade. and first puppy heartbreak in fifth grade. in highschool, i had a lot of crushes, from schoolmates to teachers and boybands to schoolmate's married uncle! haha but never did i have a boyfriend. i was chubby or should i say fat! who would notice me? they say I have a pretty face but who cares, teenage guys would go for a complete package, right? - pretty and sexy. sadly intelligence was not part of their criteria. and even if it was, im not that intelligent.. just smart LOL

now talking about highschool.. there was this guy, his name is lark who i learned that he had a crush on me. we were on the same year. both of us were juniors. well, after knowing he likes me, i felt like i like him too.

i think it's a usual feeling - the boy likes girl, girl learns about it, girl eventually likes boy. experienced that? maybe not for all.. but it does happen.. coz it happened to me with lark.

after the feeling became mutual (though we rarely speak with each other), my friends told me that he said he'll dance with me on our prom night. but guess what, after declining other guys (of course, i want to be available when he'll ask me) the last two songs were being played and still he didnt ask me. irritated and impatient that i was, i asked a boy instead! haha I asked Randy to dance with me. On the last song, I saw Lark, he was dancing with another girl :(

I didnt see who the girl was but later after 2 years I found out it was Nora my kabarkada. haha but no bitterness here.

I don't know, i felt that even we were dancing with another partner, i think we looked at each other. *sigh..
what if i waited? will he dance with me?
maybe i was just afraid that he won't really ask me to dance, and to avoid frustration i asked Ranil to dance with me, so I have reason why we didnt dance together.

After graduation, we went to the same univeristy. Rarely see each other.

But one time, when I went home for Christmas, we were on the same ship! Our rooms were adjacent. haha talking about coincidence. I felt like trying to relive the past. Too bad, we both had bf and gf. But we dined together.. *wink and exchanged stories of our current relationships. I was hoping that maybe well meet at the deck and imagine ala-titanic together.. haha one of the ship from sulpicio just sank during typhoon frank - that's titanic (tsk tsk, my prayers for the victims)

I was even proud to tell him I have a BF.. haha hoping that he'll regret something. LOL
