Wow.
I could not believe that we have been doing this for 75 days already. By this, I meant that we are trying to build a relationship.
I was so happy the day you said that you’re open to the possibility of us building a relationship. There were times…
We have achieved a new first. A sleepover.
Supposedly, it was a The Voice marathon sleepover because I’m already on leave for May 9. I was excited for this but there was a change in the plan because he wanted to play and I also wanted to play. So, he’d be…
They say that life is like a wheel. You don’t always stay down because once the wheel moves, it’s just an oscillating function of ups and downs.
I don’t know what to count April as. Is it a down? I had a lot of tough times in April. Work has been so…
Remember the times when we were young and disagreements are easily settled by apologies and pieces of chocolate? Remember the times when we were young and we so wanted to have friends that we’d back out of an argument for the sake of peace? Remember the…
- It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
- A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
- The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.
- It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
- It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone but it takes forever to forget someone.
- Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
- Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go and be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
- Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
- A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may heal and bless.
- The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
- Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Love your life so that when you die, you’re the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
- Holly: I don't want to make a mistake Gerry.
- Gerry: Well, you're in the wrong species, love. Be a dog.
It’s nice to get to talk to other people. Sometimes, we’re so clouded by our biases that we forget to see the other side of the fence.
He asked me if I’m smiling. I replied with, “every time I think of you, I do.”
Thursday
Still sad that we’re not pushing through with Boracay this month. However, I realized that the heavy rains would probably ruin the beach for me. So, it’s a bit of a no regrets thing.
We talked over lunch. He wants me to come play volleyball that night. I said that I am not so sure because I have to go to work really early on Friday. I still went because that’s just how I react to his requests, I cannot say no. We finished at around 3 AM and it was raining really hard. He did not have an umbrella so I offered mine. I reasoned that the tricycle will drop me off in front of my house and he still has to walk before getting home.
He dropped me at the tricycle terminal and said that I text him when I get home. He needed to do that because I still have to walk to the terminal and I needed an umbrella. I did call him when I felt that he was home too.
Friday
I woke up with my body aching all over. To add to that, I need to be in the office at 7 AM and it was already 7:30 when I woke up. So, I decided to just take a leave today and sleep until the middle of the day. However, I needed to go to school for my 6 PM class.
They wanted me to play again. I said that I would if class would end early. I’d probably just drop by if we end just on time. The class ended early! Then, there was the project consultation which I am pretty happy about. The professor talked to a couple of groups before calling my name. I surmised that he had a lot of recommendations for the improvement of the other groups’ projects. When he talked to me, the only issue was that the regression model is not part of the scope of the class. But, other than that, there was no problem with my project. Cool, no?
I went to the court before other people arrived. I just had to go back home and get clothes for the game. We finished at around 4 AM and before going home, we first dropped by McDonald’s to buy breakfast. Then, I learned from him that someone wanted him to stay away from me. That screwed me over. It’s like I was written into a weird teenage novel. People really do that?
Saturday
Weirdly enough, I woke up at 9 AM despite not having a lot sleep. I also cleaned the house because we have decided to hold an inuman session at our house. Then it was the UAAP women’s semifinals in the afternoon.
The guys wanted to play first so instead of heading home, we have to meet up in another friend’s house and go to the court at around 10 PM. This time, play finished at around 5 AM. There was no way we could do the session at our house. So, we went back to our friends house and decided to watch a movie instead. Only two people finished the movie, me and him. We were four then and after the movie finished we decided to sleep. The problem is that we only have a single bed to work with.
That was the most uncomfortable sleep I ever had.
Sunday
We woke up at around 12 noon and we were so hungry. I remembered that my uncle will be cooking lunch because today is the parish’s fiesta. I invited the guys to have lunch at our house and they obliged.
He wanted to go home first and take a bath. So, I joined him. It is only my second time in his house. But I know his sister already. Then, I met his grandmother and his older brother. It didn’t take long for him to prepare so we went back to our friend’s house. We saw that they just went back to sleep instead of taking their baths. I said that they take a bath in my house because I am just so hungry at that time.
We had lunch and watched the UAAP men’s semifinals. Then, since we didn’t really have a lot of sleep, they wanted to sleep. We went into my room. They slept then we, he and I, watched American Idol. He loves to sing and he does have a good voice. At around 6 PM, we had to leave because I have a Sunday Club session with my other friends. They decided to play again. I said I’d drop by if we finish early.
I did drop by. Later on Monday, I’d wake up late for a great start to the week.
Summary
It was all him. Everything this weekend was focused on him and, again, I was trapped on the island.
