A Journey to the Way We Were


I'm so excited coz in a few hours my hubby and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary. Tomorrow will be a special day for us as we go back to the places we visited a few years after our graduation. Most of all this one very special place where we officially became a couple -- while sipping our favorite frappe.

A few weeks ago I was browsing through my files and came upon my saved collection of Friendster blogs which I like to share with you as we revisit the days when we were just starting to enter into the best thing that ever happened to us.




Happy 5th Anniversary Honey – Hao Ma!! As I said before… Let’s stay together, forever. I love you so much!!




(1)  He's Somewhere Out There   2007/01/20


As I start the year I begin to think --- its 2007, I’m already 26 and time really flies fast. I start making plans... For myself… but somehow can't manage to come up with long term plans as I used to. I begin to worry--most of the time think of the future. I don’t want to grow old alone and stay here. I used to foresee my future as a happy and rewarding one--of course with my own family by that time.
 
My friends who know me best are asking -- when are you going to have your special someone? I guess they know it really takes a long time for me to get over a break up and enter into another relationship coz it’s been like that ever since. The last time took 3 years. But not because I’m not yet over my ex… I guess it's because when I’m ok I tend to enjoy life more---alone---but with my friends of course**u know what I mean by alone. I become choosy in a way. I easily lose interest in someone I thought I like especially when I sense he's not that interested anyway. I’m not really sure what I’m looking for in a person. But one thing's for sure -- no matter how long it takes, I believe there's someone out there for me... my better half **future better half, shall I say. Maybe our paths haven't crossed yet, or maybe he's someone I already know. But one day when the right time comes... we both will know and realize >>> YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME… THE ONE I WAITED FOR, FOR A LONG TIME. Now isn’t that the nicest thing that could happen to someone? And that's definitely worth waiting for.
 
>>>In the end it won't matter anymore how long you've waited, how painful life has been--- It will be worth everything. When you find your happiness all will make sense. You'll see the fruit of your labor. You'll never know how it feels to be truly happy unless you experience pain. And you'll just remember all the bad things that happened and realize you've been thru the worst and you survived.




(2)  To Wherever He Will Lead Me   2007/03/08

Many people make many different plans for their future -- how to spend the years to come and who to spend them with. I used to be one of them. Not that I'm saying I don't have plans anymore but after spending many years of setting my mind to something and almost living it, it just came to a point where I suddenly woke up and found myself stranded---in an isolated place where no one can reach me. After the trials I just had to fight then realized I've been thru the worst--thru the lowest point of my life… and I survived!! Now I have everything (**almost) =)... But one thing's for sure. I know I'm stronger... been thru many trials… experienced a roller coaster of emotional turmoil but managed to surpass them.

Now I'm in the stage of my life where I'm still finding myself. My happiness maybe. Serenity --- I used to pray for my dreams and plans to come to reality but now I pray for Him to guide me---to wherever He will lead me--- now I can say it's up to You. My decisions are not my own anymore but Yours. I still believe in my destiny and now I can fulfill it though I don't exactly know what it is yet. I thank Him for the trials that made me stronger and a better person. Each day I learn to appreciate the things and people I used to take for granted. He gave me a new beginning. Many years have been wasted but still... As the saying goes -- Better Late Than Never.




(3)  -= the ‘one’ for me =-   2007/04/06


Nothing feels more fulfilling than finding your one true love amongst all the people in this crazy world we live in. I spent my life trying to look for him and realizing in the end I made a mistake, falling for the wrong persons. Just when I'm about to give up... there he was... I found him at last!! Now I'm complete. My life couldn't get any better. I found the one person for me---my destiny--- early yet to say but I've never been this sure about anything. All the pain, trouble and tears I experienced before are worth the wait and if I had to go through the worst again to get to where I am now, I would. He's my 'perfect' better half and this by far is the happiest I've ever been. I couldn't ask for anything more... I love you honey… Stay with me forever


 

(4)  I found him at last 2007/05/18

This year started good for me. Before 2006 ended around October, I came to many realizations after getting thru a lot in the past months. Trying to find myself, looking for answers, feeling alone despite many people around me... Then I started praying for my destiny. I start to ask Him--Is there really someone out there for me? Or I’m "doomed" --to live my life either being alone or waiting for someone who already belongs to someone else like I used to do many times before. After a few weeks a big sign came right in front of me... At first I didn’t take it seriously and thought it was just a coincidence but after a few more weeks I started dreaming of someone -- someone I already know from my college days --- a very good friend whom I haven’t heard from for a few years. Again I didn’t want to take it seriously but the dreams came so regularly so I thought, these are not just coincidences, these are definitely SIGNS!

So I started looking for him. At first there was a bit of hesitation coz there were so many questions bothering me like what if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore or he's already committed to someone or we were really meant to be just friends...things like that...but I thought it's worth the risk... he's worth the risk... and if there was someone I could trust it's definitely him. Knowing him for many years now, he's a good person (as I remember). He never made me feel bad. He was the one person who has always been there to cheer me up, looking after me from a distance. Then after asking around (asking almost everyone possible) just to find him… After almost losing hope coz he's nowhere to be found, as if he literally disappeared, I found him at last!! Here in Friendster... hehe. A lot of 'kamustahan' came. I was so surprised to find out he's working in China (at that time I thought, this can’t be, wala na talaga, I’M DOOMED!!!)... But then DESTINY found its way... NAKS!!  Just last month he came home for a few days vacation... we met... then there was magic!! --- DEFINITELY MAGIC!

Now I'm complete. He completed my life. Now we take things one step at a time, making plans, trying to make China and Philippines as near to each other as possible =)  I never thought this is possible, we never did... but what can I say--DESTINY WILL REALLY FIND ITS WAY NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE OR HOW LONG IT TAKES.




(5)  TEN YEARS AFTER 2007/06/01
 

1997... Section B118 - SW403 - MIT IE 1st year block section... It was the first day of school that he claims when he saw me sitting in front of the classroom. He was among the pinakamagulong boys sitting at the back making fun of our profs and classmates laughing at almost anything possible (yes, that's definitely him!!) We became friends talk for hours over the phone, then we parted ways almost 3 years ago. I dreamt of him (almost every day late last year) and I decided to search for him. Surprisingly he's in China!! But love came through (wink)… Whoever thought after ten years we'll be a couple? A "perfect match" most people say. He says he's lucky but I think it's the other way around. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have someone as 'perfect' as him (perfect na sana manginginom lang… joke lang**pero half-meant** sigh)

So why after ten years? Why only now? We've been asking the same question over and over (but it feels so good - the thought of the one for you is someone you already know many, many years ago) After coming across many signs then later on realizing he's someone I would wanna keep for the rest of my life (how I wish), then searching for him almost anywhere possible (while at the back of my mind ang tanga tanga ko dati nandito lang sya palagi), I’ve proven he's really my destiny.. THIS IS IT!!! I LOVE HIM. .. I REALLY DO. I love him with every inch of my being... from the smallest thing he does to the biggest... no doubt... I love him.. Coz he loves me with all his heart  (feeling!! =) ) he makes me laugh, he's caring, sweet, overprotective, paranoid (na rin gaya ko), smart, good looking, tall, understanding, full of life, optimistic, responsible and not to mention patient (ten years ba naman) There's no reason for me not to fall for him. Ever since he's always been there watching over me... I do believe he did love me ten years ago, he still does now, and he always will. He's someone I want to grow old with and have a family with… someone I could trust... who will take care of me. I feel safe when I’m with him. His love is more than enough for me. God lead me to him - my missing piece - and our feelings will stay this way ten years after and for the rest of our days...




(6)  -I LOVE YOU-   2007/08/19


i love the way you smile... the way you laugh

the feeling of your hand against mine

my head against your shoulder

the way you stare at me as if you're looking through my soul

the feeling of security when im with you

i love it when we kiss.. when we hug

i love the thought of you silently loving me since college

i love watching you sleep like a baby

i love it when we talk about anything & everything til we fall asleep

i love the moments we share when we laugh at the simplest things

i love the feeling when you're being insecure coz it shows how much i mean to you

i love your face, your height, your eyes, your built, the way you dress up

i love the thought of us growing old together

needless to say... i love everything about you. Now i know you're my missing half coz you're the only one who made me felt this way. I know my heart's finally in the right place. I love you now and I will love you for the rest of my life.
