a love story part 2

this is the second part of my previous post "a love story" written last feb 16. okay. here it goes.

after my completion of 200 hours in my hospital pharmacy duty, (dec 31), i went home and celebrate new year there. i had dinner with his family <3, (next level!). went around the town using his motorcycle because we're too bored and because we want to kill the time, it's 9 pm and you know we were waiting for 12 midnight.

after new year, for 2 or 3 consecutive days, he was visiting me in the house. tambay, kain, movie marathon, but the happiest thing we did was, we played together with my nieces and nephews (God knows how much i love playing with my nieces and nephews). imagine a guy who plays with kids? very cute, right? *insert-cute-eyes-here-for-dramatic-effect. and i fell in love more. (ugh, corny! haha).

*thinking*... yes! i remember, one morning, i was sleeping so deeply in my room, he entered and woke me up! how sweeeeeeeeeeet is that?! joke! he also cooked our breakfast (because i told him so!). plus pogi points.

we went back to davao together. as usual, we're back in our routine. study and meet at least twice a week. >.<

on Valentine's day:

luckily, our school announced that we won't be having classes on v-day. so i went to abreeza with some friends, i texted my lover (lol), then he surprised me with a rose and chocolates. i never expected that he'll give me these stuffs since he had not received yet his allowance on the night before v-day and that he was problematic. plus pogi points. then dinner at tgif sponsored by my aunt and cousins. yes, he already met my aunt who exactly looks like my mother. (it's like meeting my mother at all! haha). bukingan with our love story afterwards happened inside the car with my cousins >.< we were on the hot seat.

i don't know the next words to type, since v-day was the last day we've met. we text/call/chat sometimes. i never saw him for more than a week now. >.< we're always busy with school.

ps: I EXACTLY DO NOT KNOW WHY I WROTE SUCH THING AS THIS, I NEVER IMAGINED SHARING MY IDEAS/THOUGHTS ONLINE, ESPECIALLY THIS hey-this-lovelife-you-have-should-be-kept-in-private-or-at-least-have-little-privacy STUFF. as one of the reasons of why i put up a blog is to have a memory box of what i did or what was I on that moment so before the year ends, i have to read all the blogposts i wrote, reminisce everything before welcoming a new year.

pps: i don't know what to write for a very dramatic end.

blogger customization

i've been in blogger for 4 years, and just this time tsk, just this time, i have found out that you can easily customize your blog's layout. i'm such a loser. i've been trying to edit html codes using notepad and been trying my very best to edit photos to be part of my whole layout. and i found this! very amazing blogger template tool. awesome. and presenting to you... tantararan! my new layout. since im very new to this, pls bear with my not-so-kagandahang layout. chos.

a love story

last january 4, i've changed my relationship status to "in a relationship with...", which gathered 60+ likes in just a few hour. i guess i've shaken the newsfeed of my fb friends. and i guess, most of them were shocked. who would not anyway? i've never imagined too, that i will engage in a serious relationship this college. everyone knows i'm into academics, everyone knows i'm contented with my social and emotional lives, from the love of my parents, family and friends. yes i was really contented with what i have. i've been expecting my love affair to bloom after college, or when i already have work, or even meeting a guy in med school if ever i proceed to medicine or a fil-am guy from states. but why the hell my love affair bloomed last year? haha. i don't know too. maybe because he's different, not the usual guys u see?! haha. ambot lang

i've never noticed him before. he added me first in friendster, (way back 3rd yr hs, i think!)then he posted a testimonial in my profile which i can't really and srsly remember. haha. then he added me in yahoo messenger. i don't know too, why i added him on my contacts. i only add people i know, except for some friends of friends who i met personally. yes, as what you expect, we chatted, but the usual stranger girl-stranger boy type of conversation. one thing i remember too, when i was in 4th yr hs, and he was 3rd hs, he asked me if he can woo/court me. i immediately answered no. why? because i see him like a younger brother to me, i don't know him personally, i never saw him, and i just know him through friendster and ym. years later, after the collapse of friendster, of course, we used facebook. he added me as friend. and of course, i clicked the "confirm" button. just to let him know that i'm approachable and friendly too, and because he's from isulan. after a year or months, i've been deleting fb friends, i've deleted almost 200 friends who i do not know personally, including him. then maybe after months or weeks, i accepted his friend request, maybe i was just too kind that time to accept friend requests. haha! then after some time, he started chatting with me, but these conversations were of the same type of conversation to some chicks/hot girls in his online friends.

a week after i got my new blackberry phone (this should be emphasized, omg! i got a new phone after 2 or 3 years!!!!!!!), ok back to the topic, one night when i was facebooking thorough my phone, a chat msg from him popped out. it went like this:

him: ui, 12mn na, tulog kna.
her: uiiii, hello! maya maya na ako matulog, gachat pko sa uban
him; aaaah ok, bahala ka oi.
her: ikr.
her: ui baaaaaaaaaaa, hanapan mo ako diyan ng boyfriend sa pwc bi, or sa mga friends mo.
him: aaaah, ako pala?
her: no way! bsta ha, yung model pero hnd gay. sige na ba
him: oh sige, ako rin eh, hanapan mo ng girlfriend diyan.
her: oh sure, daghan ko friends na single
blah blah.. blah...
her: matulog n ako
him: ok. ai tama pla, bigay mo sa akin number mo para matext kita kung may ireto na ako
her: ok, eto oh.

then i gave my number to him. and hey, i remember, i called him "babe", but i was joking. the "babe" was a joke anyway. i've told him "ui, gikilig ka noh?!, ako rin eh, tawagin mong babe para kiligin rin ako". what i've said that time were all jokes. i was srsly joking.

in the laboratory after 2 days from our conversation, he texted me, "hi babe! haha. sim to." then i replied. the usual text conversation happened.

he invited me to a dinner, his treat, then i said "hell yes", because first, it was libre, 2nd my sister is out, meaning i'll be alone for dinner, 3rd i was really really really hungry. the deal was on. i've said let's meet at mang inasal ilustre, because 1st, i want unlimited rice (coz i'm hungry, right?!), 2nd it's a one-ride jeepney from school and to boarding house, 3rd, it's near tesco and rose pharmacies (i was planning to buy disposable gloves that time). and 4th, i want an open air setting because i was bringing a cage with 5 laboratory mice in it! haha. hinatid niya ako pauwi.

after that, we always see each other, right after class, hanging out with friends, ktv, inuman. name it, we were on it. sabay kaming nag-grocery, nagjogging ng 4am sa people's park, lakad lakad sa mall, tambay sa coffee shop, study sa coffee shop, dinner sa carinderia, nag buy 1 take 1 ng pizza, breakfast every sunday morning. we made these things a routine!

then we were getting serious in the mid-december, when i was having my hospital pharmacy duty in koronadal. he met my father last dec 22, he went to the house, we watched a movie. then dec 27, he surprised me, he visited me in the pharmacy without telling me! (so far, that was very memorable, we never texted that whole day and he missed all my calls.). i texted the number he usually used when he has no load. it was his mother's phone number. her mother replied that he was in Norala, accompanying his tita. so that was an answer to my question "why the hell he never replied or called back". i was standing in the front counter of the pharmacy, leaning my arms, thinking of something, the patients, the nurses, the drugs. i was looking into the entrance having those thoughts. when suddenly a familiar face appeared. it was him anyway. nagulat ako nang bonggang bongga. i never expected he will visit me. >.< the element of surprise. haha

ang haba na pali nito. pagod na ako. 12:26 am na pala. biyahe pa ako mamayang 9am. sa susunod ko na tapusin to.
