nostalgic feat

April 30. Today’s the 17th month for our relationship, just in case you did not already know.

We have been doing this (celebrating, that is) for almost a year and a half now, but whenever it’s the end of the month, I still get butterflies. There is still that air of excitement and anticipation; indeed very reminiscent of that first solo date that we had about two years ago. It was so much like in high school, but then again, it felt good while it lasted.

So, fast-track to the present. Passion has not even dwindled, as some have predetermined. Just because he is a bit younger, a few people thought that we wouldn’t even get this far into our relationship. (Even his old friends, who knew his reputation back in high school, thought the same but they were all well-meaning). And yet, look at where we are now?

It’s good to share the up’s and down’s of life with someone. I don’t even bother about fancy dinner dates anymore. But yes, he is still in touch with his softer side and has not forgotten to pamper me from time to time – chocolate, flowers (yup, my favorite pink roses), massages, and what-not’s.

And oh, I read my horoscope a while back, and it did warn me that I might be having a slight surge of nostalgia today. What a coincidence! But will those rose-colored lens of nostalgia be too hard to resist? No, it has brought me into a conclusion that there is no better place to be than right here. *blushes*

deus ex machina

Crappy. That would basically summarize my week, by far.

I know I’ve been down with the flu lately but once it’s over, what’s out there waiting for me? I hate to sound like a pessimist, but reality bites. When you are miserable, you have this weird hunch that things are only going to get worse. So much so that it surprises you when it does not turn out that way.

I am now craving a short break. Just a little time to reflect and ruminate. Indeed, I have caught myself riding the fast lane one too many times recently. So, I had to step on the brake before I go on a downward spiral.

I just need something to break this chain of unnecessary events in my life – my granma’s death, my flu, etc. It’s been overwhelming, really. Maybe what I really need is a fresh start. (And fittingly enough, May is about to unveil).

Surprise, surprise!! Tomorrow’s another monthsary!

Maybe this is my deus ex machina. A divine intervention of sorts. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. And what’s more with some plans for the end of May? A last-minute summer getaway. Hmm, it’s still too early to tell. And yet, I am already eyeing another one that could potentially fall under our “best 24 hours” list.

So, things aren’t so bad after all!
