Needy

I am no expert when it comes to relationships. I used to think that commitments are so overrated that I gave up the idea of being into one. I hate romance. Never did I watch those baduy love stories for chrissakes (well except for One More Chance just because, duh?!) 

But look where I am now? I swallowed the words I said before. Turned my back to bitterness and took the chance of falling in love. The past 9 months was like a roller coaster ride - the emotional kind. But at the end of the day, I still find myself falling in line for three hours just to reach the climax of that ecstatic feeling. 

Not everyday's peachy. Its not always hearts and flowers. Sometimes its just heartaches and thorns. 

Girls are too emotional. They cry for no reason at all. I hate the rain. I am too random. And Im out of words. But Im still full of tears. 

I want to feel needed. 

an attempt to write about anything unrelated about 3am

What's with 3am that makes people all nostalgic and reminiscent of the past? We start to track the first ever status update we made in Facebook. The first tweet ever posted in Twitter and that first photo ever took in our Instagram. We start listening to songs that we usually hear everyday but for some reason when we hear it at 3am something - a name, an event, a place - suddenly pops out of our head for some unknown reason. Making us remember things we shouldn't. The 3am syndrome is like the #throwbackthursday of one's day. For some it sucks. But sometimes, mapapangti ka na lang din. 

I was browsing through a friend's album and I happen to ran across this photo:

 

It's our first ever photo together (Yay!) I know this isnt an attractive first picture of us with that sampayan kind of background. And not to mention, J almost fading into that sampayan background.

I remember that day from last year -- November 11, 2013, after midnight. It was her mom's birthday celebration. A party that I never wanted to go to in the first place. But remembering it now, Im so glad that I did. :)

That picture of us was the start of our life photo album together. Eight months passed and look where we are now?

Never did I thought that I will get in to this point of my life. -- several destinations traveled, stories shared together and countless photos of us taken. Haaay. :)

Ive said it before and I will say it again. I HSVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY.

For our "pseudo monthsary" celebration. :)

I dont have to say it. Coz you already know I do.

XO

Random Thought 041

You're probably gonna kill me for saying writing this.

I'm having the post-Valentine's syndrome feeling. And I'm hating it. I blame Facebook and Twitter for being sulky and all that today.

I feel sad not because I am not happy. (labo!) I feel sad because I did not get to spend our first Valentine's Day with you.

But what the hell, I'm happy naman with you everyday. :)

PS. I'm a girl.

15 First Dates (Yep! Not 50!)

EXCITING. That's how I can describe our 1st date. Well, technicality wise it's really the second. But I don't want to consider driving me to the airport at 3 in the morning as the 1st. Hihi! ="> I was really excited to see him after the bull sessions the previous night. It was the first time we went out together without our friends coming along. But don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like the moments we spent together with friends because God knows how happy I am when we are with them, but this first "date" was special. It's the very first dinner we had after airing all the feelings out. No  awkward moments. Really. And that's just happy. :) -- 11/14

RANDOM. We are geographically incompatible. But you make distance seem possible. You called late in the night and asked me out. Everything's spontaneous and random when it comes to us. We never make plans but we always make it happen. Late dinner at a random Mexican restaurant in the north completed my whole weekend. I started and ended what seemed to be the perfect Sunday with you. Thank you. ="> -- 11/18

UNPLANNED. Well, what's new with this? We always go on dates naman without making plans eh. Maybe because we both know that we suck at that. This doesn't make any difference with our previous ones. What better way to have the third date? As mushy and cheesy as it sounds but we went for the classic movie x dinner date. Despite the short notice (For we only talked this over for 5mins), the rush hour and the hassle of commuting, it still turned out pretty well. Amazing, actually. :)

PREMATURE. A night before our planned date, he sent panic to my system again by saying he's "on the  way" to my house. We were on a "hall pass" the weekend before, so we did not get the chance to see each other. I like random nights like this. I like making random act of sweetness for you. Like giving you a random stuff and you giving me that random smile. :) - 11/28

DISAPPOINTMENT. The night was going smoothly. We were all lovey-dovey. Hearts and flowers everywhere. Serious talks. Heart-racing conversations. The can't-eat-can't-sleep-reach-for-the-stars-over-the-fence kind of feeling. But the abrupt change of the wind happened the moment we entered the club. This Hall Pass was uncalled for. And that's just plain BS.-- 11/29

BUTTERFLIES. You know the feeling when something happens abruptly and your stomach starts to cringe? The good kind of cringe. Tonight, the butterflies made a comeback in my stomach because the sweetest thing just happened.  :) - 12/7/2012

HAPPY.  I don't know why, when. where and how. But you came and I was happy. :) This euphoric bliss I am feeling right now is incomparable. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY. I can't even stop smiling right now! Like OMG. My emotions are so overflowing I can't stop typing random things right now. Heart-racing, palm-sweating, my head buried on your chest, kisses on the forehead, on the cheek, on the eyes, everything is just plain bliss. :) - 11/09

POSSIBILITIES. It's proven that if a person wants to see you, despite the distance, despite the traffic, despite whatever reason that might hinder him, he will see you. Even just for a while. I have said it before, and I will say it again, I. HAVE. NEVER. BEEN. THIS. HAPPY. This is the best date so far. -- 12/12

RISKY. I forgot how good it felt to talk to someone about almost everything. Tonight, I got to know you better over dinner, cigarettes and beer. We were both relaxed, laughing and sharing stories like we're two old friends trying to catch up after years of not seeing each other. And then it hit me, you are not just a random guy I met. You are my answered prayer, you are my dream come true, you are the wish that was granted. And tonight, I am telling you that I am on the verge of falling for you. And it scares me. Coz I've never been in this situation for the longest time and I don't know what to do. I know you're scared too. And that's okay. Because as long as we are with each other, we can be scared together, slowly unfolding our own uncertainties and questions about each other. - 12/13

NERVOUS. Tonight, I met your brother. You know that I'm not into meeting the family and stuff like that. But you forced dragged me into this and you left me with no choice. I was shaking and was close to having a heart attack. But what the hell. I like you and I'm doing this for you. You should know that. :) Well, it was pretty okay naman, except that inside, I was screaming "get me out of here now". The world didn't end today. But I'm sure that I'm ready to explore the new world that awaits us. :) - 12/21/2012

ECSTATIC. Of all the dates, this one is the most special. It's our first Christmas together. I cried. For the first time, not because of pain, but because of joy. And I guess you know why. =) - 12/26/2012

DREAM DATE. I've always wanted a breakfast date. Not that breakfast date on an overnight trip or whatever you're thinking. I want a ma-effort morning date. Like somebody giving me a wake up call at 6 in the morning just to tell me that he's outside our house for an hour already, waiting for me to wake up just because he wants to have breakfast with me. Well, that's what exactly what you did. I appreciate the effort and your pagod driving straight from work without any tulog at all. You make distance seem possible and my mornings better. This is definitely a cross out on the my list of things to do before I die. :) - 12/28

SACRIFICIAL. I've always loved food. And that's a fact that is not new to him. So whenever there's a new discovery on the net, I immediately drag him even if it's miles away from my place. I have entered the title as such, because you sacrificed your one day of earning just to satisfy my passion (and hunger) for food. I love how you do simple things for me because I tell you it doesn't go unappreciated. I can't believe that in just a span of two months we've already gone this far. We're now on our 13th date and everyday I get happier. =) -- 12/30

BEGINNING. You are the first person I wanted to see on the first day of 2013. And thank God, you were there, though you're 2 hours late, it didn't matter, cause you still showed up outside my house even if it was just for five minutes. You see, this is what I really like about you. You find ways for us just to be together even in the most impossible situations. :) - 01/01/2013

FIFTEENTH. Spending the whole day on the first day of the year with you is something I will not forget. This is our 15th date, and I'm just happy that nothing has changed yet. We're still the same from the first time we met last summer. Just so you know, the kilig's still here. It didn't leave my system since the first date. -- 01/01/2013 - 01/02/2013

I used to be allergic with the thought of marriage and kids. But I'm considering it now. Not now but in the future when I'm settled and stable.

I used to think that relationships and commitments are overated, hassle and baduy, but look where I am now.

I hate chick flicks and love stories, but now, I am making my own. :)

Random Thought 040

It was a long awkward silence. We both know we tried reaching out to each other but we just couldn't let go of what we want to say. Nobody want to go first. So I gave up. I rested my shoulders, leaned back to the car seat. It was really frustrating.

Fog starts to blur the vision of the windshield. I sat straight again and did some doodling. on the foggy windshield.

"Alam mo ba kung ano to?"

You stared for a moment, perplexed but you managed to whisper "doodles". 

I just smiled back and said "Tayo yan, may direksyon, pero magulo"

Never Date a Guy Who Smokes

Never date a guy who smokes. His whole system is covered with defamation and pretention. His creativity is shown on how good of a liar he is. His silence is disturbing. He will never tell you the truth, instead he will sugar coat it with sweet words that will surely "sweep you off your feet" He is an overthinker and will annoy you most of the time for his reasoning is far beyond normal.

Never date a guy who smokes, He will make a fool out of you. He would lie to you, tell you things you want to hear but in reality, it's not really what he is feeling. He will argue with you until you get tired and accept your defeat. He is a good heartbreaker. A confused and troubled person who would make you feel unimportant and unloved. And in the long run, he will blame you for the things he did wrong, for the things you did and for the things you did not do.

Never date a guy who smokes for he has a big ego. He is a jerk and will say things that hurt. He will send you mixed signals. You're all lovey-dovey today, then starts ignoring you the next day. Calls you just to say how much he misses you and before you know it, he drops your calls and does not reply to your texts. And because you're too hung up on him, no matter how fucked up this was, how he messed up your life, still, you welcome him with arms wide open.

Never trust a guy who smokes. He is weak. He will not stay true to his words. HE WILL BE UNFAITHFUL TO YOU. He may be brave but he will not fight for you. If you date a guy who smokes, you should know that he is like the smoke -- "here now, gone in seconds"

Or better yet, find somebody who smokes. I challenge you to date him. Be his "game changer." Be the reason why he would like to quit this habit. Be his only habit. Play his game. Listen to his stories. Be there for him. Bring him cigarettes. Be the girl he is scared to lose. FIND OUT WHY HE IS DOING THIS.

If you meet a guy who smokes, ignore him, dump him, and I beg you to NOT BELIEVE IN HIM.

To the guy who used to bring me ice cream in the middle of the night and the jerks I know, SCREW YOU. I'M ON PMS, BITCHES.
