they said i gained weight

Hmmmp…

it pays to wait

"hui nganong wa man kay uyab"

"istrikta man gud ka"

"standards,standards..wa nay ayo"

i've been told about these things many times and these are just few of the many statements.years ago,i have a long list of the things that i'm looking for in a man.i've been telling myself i can't have those qualities in just one person.that would be impossible and would require years of praying,petitions,novenas, a number of masses and offerings.haha...it came to a point when i had to let go of that checklist.i'm left with three of the most important qualities.first is,the guy should become my friend.because if he is,i would feel comfortable and there would be no pretensions. second,a family-man.i wanted him to be family-oriented because i am too.third,my family should like him because i don't wanna choose between my family and him.lil did i know that just when i've let go of all the other qualities,God is working on my relationship.i would say i've been praying for that person.my friend nadina used to joke about my 20pesos every sunday.whenever i leave home to hear mass,she would always tell me "nik,ang 20pesos para sa imong bana.dapat lang i-pray and halaran".i know it's funny but prayer works wonders.i'm not saying he's worth 20pesos but there's nothing impossible with prayers.He prepared someone for me who i believe has met all the qualities.i dunno but i've been looking at it in all angles and i believe it's him. God has been so great.God gave me someone beyond my expectation.he's more than what i asked for.i know it pays to wait.

hmmm..

years ago, i found myself sitting infront of my sister while she relates how her bf that time went all the way from manila to baguio just to woo her. it felt like she's part of a koreanovela. my eyes twinkled seeing her so kilig.i was at awe and felt hopeless thinking no one's gonna do that for me.lo and behold!reggie made it real for me.i was on cloud 9 when reggie told me he's coming to cebu.oh boy!he just made my day when he sent me a copy of his e-tkt.my officemates nadina and dax kept on singing "i will cross the ocean for you" right after i told them.hahaha...*kilig*kilig*i didn't expect he would do that.i know some pips wondered why he went all the way here and didn't go directly to our hometown.some asked why he has to go to cebu knowing that i'm also sched to go home for our town fiesta.i know many were surprised to see us together and wondered if it's really us.i know many raised their eyebrows and eager to find the answer.YES,it's US.

the countdown begins

While we were having bfast earlier,Debbie was saying that it’s four months to go and it’s December. She’s right it’s September 1,2006 today. then I said “oh my God!it’s BER,pasko na!pero malamig ang pasko.” our other housemate jaja having heard what I said reacted, “haha…as if wala ka naanad(as if ur not used to it).” she was right but it’s different now.*sob* hehe…hmmm…I can hear the bells ringing,the simbang gabi,gift-giving,food,caroling,xmas tree,parties and a lot more. christmas would always be my fave time of the year. cheers to a merry xmas in four months!
