think rainbows

I wish I could just blog more often. But then...oh well, at least I could still blog from time to time. =))

Last Saturday, November 21, I went to Eastwood with some of my closest friends from college. That was the first time I was able to go out with them again after college. And that was the first time that I saw some of them since our graduation last March. HAHAHA. I know, ang tagal na nun!

The real purpose of that gala was to surprise Angeli. It's actually her despedida. The original plan was to watch New Moon then she will treat us or something, for her despedida nga. But since no one confirmed if they are available for Saturday, she thought that hindi na matutuloy. But Joyce thought that we could just surprise her. Fortunately, almost all of us were available that Saturday, and we were able to give Angeli a good surprise! It's so nice to surprise somebody and see that they really were surprised, hahaha.

We ate first, then decided to play sa Timezone after strolling around the new Eastwood mall, then nag-Videoke din. Inubos lang yung card sa timezone then we went home na rin. Napagod kami lahat dun sa last na nilaro namin, I can't remember what's it called, basta yung may binabato ka. And ang dami na naming bumabato, but na-fail pa rin kami ng dalawang beses, hahaha.

This Saturday, we will be watching New Moon daw, sana payagan ako, haha, because I really enjoyed their company again last Saturday, and I'm sure mag-e-enjoy din kami this coming Saturday. =D And we still have one more Timezone card para ubusin, hahaha...

*i'm looking forward to seeing my other college classmates as well! sana matuloy yung christmas party, =D*

I’ve waited 365 days for this day to arrive. It has been exactly one year that we, Ifor and I, have been together.

Very much unbelievable; very much incredible; that’s all that I can say. The way I felt when I realized that we were approaching the celebration of our first year together, the celebration of my first anniversary ever, I just couldn’t explain how excited I was. I never even thought about it that way, that we were to spend our first anniversary together like that. My first anniversary with my first ever boyfriend, my first ever relationship. I felt that we were so happy together during the past months, days, weeks, and I really couldn’t ask for anything more. We’ve shared a lot together already, and I know that there are still more to come. But I couldn’t help but notice that at least, in our first year together, we didn’t have any big problems at all. We enjoyed each other’s company, knew and learned new stuff about each other. We had some misunderstandings, some sort of petty quarrels and stuff but I think that’s normal in a relationship. But no big difficulties or whatsoever. And we’re very, very much thankful for that.

We talked about what we were going to do to celebrate our first anniversary. Of course it has to be special. It’s our day! We decided to play Bowling since it’s something that we always talked about, and that we haven't tried together. Ifor plays Bowling, though they do the duckpin instead of the 10-pin. And I told him that he should try the 10-pin sometime, and so we decided to do it during our anniversary; to be able to do something different, something we haven't done before together, something unforgettable. We met here at the office, and then we went straight to MOA and did our usual activities whenever we go there. We ate, talked about stuff, about us, about our anniversary, played arcade, and then we did the highlight of the day.

The first time we played, I think only 3 or 4 lanes were being used, so there weren’t really a lot of people. I have played 10-pin before but I’m really not that good. I just play, that’s it. He was pretty excited because it’s his first time playing 10-pin and I was excited because the last time I was able to play Bowling was last April. During the first game, he won, 91-85. At least it was a close fight! Hahaha. While we were playing, we gave each other our gifts. I gave him some homemade pastillas, which I personally did, as well as a letter. I couldn’t think of anything else to give him but I wanted it to be special and with a personal touch. It was supposed to be the scrap book, but I wasn’t able to do it. Then he gave me a card with a pop-up picture of 12 Hershey’s kisses which he personally did, which was really, really nice, and a CD with 12 songs in it. He was really worried because he couldn’t give me anything much more than the card and the CD but it really didn’t matter. Actually, those were the sweetest gifts he ever gave me because it had his own personal touch. And I like personalized gifts.

Then we took a little break, we walked around, played arcade where for the first time, we had a tie when we played air hockey, 4-4. Though some of the goals weren't counted, and technically I still won, but still, the score's a tie, haha. When we got back to the Bowling center, there were more people this time. He was sort of frustrated about his performance during the first game we had and he needed to make a comeback, or something like that, and we were both bitin with the first game, so we had a rematch. I really didn’t play well the second time, hahaha. But he did! His score was 161. And mine? 61. HAHAHA. E kasi naman, he had three strikes na magkakasunod, and I had one. Hahaha. Then after the game, I was hungry already so we looked for something to eat and after dinner, we went our separate ways again, we went home. (He didn’t forget his promise this time!)

I really didn’t want the day to end anymore. I was having so much fun, and I was enjoying myself with him. Even though we were only doing much of the same stuff that we are doing whenever we see each other, it really didn’t matter. It’s our day, it’s our anniversary, we’re together, and I think that’s all that matters. When I arrived home I wanted to immediately listen to the CD that he gave me because I was so curious of what songs are in that CD. There wasn’t a list included or anything so I really had to listen to the CD to be able to know the songs included in it. I didn’t finish the songs anymore because that was already kind of late, I just wanted to know really what the songs are. First song pa lang, it made me smile already. Kilig! Seriously! Hahaha. I mean, coming from him, and knowing that all the songs are for me, it was really sweet. The card was supposed to be the inlet for the CD, kaso it didn’t fit anymore so he didn’t put it anymore. (In the front of the card, it was written, ‘All for you’) I just smiled the whole time that I was playing the CD and I felt like my heart’s melting or something. Then after I listened to the songs, I went straight to bed and guess what…I cried! Can you imagine how happy I was feeling at that time! This is the first time ever that it’s happened to me, crying tears of joy. It felt weird actually, because I was smiling all the while and then I just cried. Hahaha.

But I never thought that it could actually happen to me. Or at least that he could do it, or at least that it would happen at that time. It was just a different experience for me and thanks to him! He didn’t need to do anything super special or super bongga to make me feel like that. Now I’m looking forward to all that could still happen and all that we could still share together.
