May 19, 2016, midterm exam is finally over and dismissal is quite too early. Mas mahaba pa binyahe ko, kesa sa inupo ko sa klase hahaha. So I have decided to take a detour to Tagaytay instead of going home. 

It was almost an hour and a half bus ride when I reached Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. There was a wedding being held, so I had to take the side entrance. I sat on the last seat and watched the ceremony. As usual, I day dreamed lol.

Then the boyfriend arrived. He prayed for a while, then we had late lunch at S&R, from there it took us 2 hours to finish our meal because we kept on sharing stories and telling inside jokes to make each other laugh. He was a bit of a bully, um no, not “a bit”, he is a bully hahaha! He kept on imitating me and kept on laughing every time I make weird faces and when I’m being maarte and obstinate. That is one of the many things I love about him, he never lose patience with me, I guess imitating the things I do and making fun of it is his way of not getting irritated and in return I’m the one who gets annoyed. How about that? Haha!

After, we went to Robinsons to basically do nothing. It was raining by the way, so we can’t just roam and walk around, we sat on one of the benches overlooking the highway, we talked about lots of personal things until I noticed that fog was slowly going through the high trees and covering the area, I was going crazy and wanted to feel the cold breeze in my face, it was like I went back to being a child again, the excitement and joy. I wanted to laugh at myself for acting in such way, Ano te, first time makakita ng fog?? but I didn’t care. I stood up and told him to take pictures of me.

There I was, standing, realized that the happiness I was feeling is not just because of the fog but of who I was with. I looked at him and he was there smiling, taking pictures of me. Many months with him but still the what-did-I-do-to-deserve-this-guy feeling never goes away every time I see him genuinely happy. 

You know what, I like taking candid photos of him and he doesn’t like it (but deep deep down his inner being, I know he does. hehe). I sat and took photos of him, at first he makes this serious-not-looking-at-the-camera face, while I took several shots and started calling him ”bby” with a sarcastic but sweet voice, he will laugh. I don’t know why, I just want him to look at the camera hahaha. It makes me laugh too, that’s why I kept on making him pose for a photo two more times and calls him. bby. Then suddenly, he gave up, and said I was only tripping.

The real reason why I want to take more photos of him, is to simply capture his happiness in a photo. Every person who knows how to love right will do anything just to see the genuine smile of the person they love. 

And I have come to realize that both of us are making ourselves silly and crazy just to see each other happy, we’ll always go for an extra mile even if we both know that one look is enough.

Dear U,

Thank you for today. Unplanned dates are simply the best. Today was one of my favorite. I have seen something different in your eyes, I can’t explain what it was but it makes me happy. Thank you for the endless laughter, it is always better to spend days like this with you. We won’t be seeing each other for a week but that’s okay, the next time we’ll be together, we’re going to celebrate our monthsary ❤ Papamiss muna ako 💋 I love you.
