whew! i had a really really busy weekend last week. long weekend at that.

saturday we went to duluth. that's where lake superior is. it is debatable if this lake is indeed a lake or an ocean. as far as i know, large boats (i.e. oil tankers) cannot dock on lakes. i even saw a photo of the Normandie at the museum. and if i am not mistaken this was the same ship my dad took me to when they docked in Batangas in 1997 (?). and yes, i did miss my dad when i saw the ships and the orange lifesaver... senti shit!

and did i mention that it was a 150-mile drive? ONE WAY??? good thing my car had a cd player and my tita let gave me a couple of really nice cds... cruisin' cds. ;)

and then we headed out to albertville. outlet shopping. i could have enjoyed it if i didn't drive more than 300 miles. and i could have helped the US economy (that's my way of saying i'm splurging).. not that it needs helping though.

then sunday we took empress to the hospital. di ko pa nababawi ung tulog ko. deym! i received a call from rizza that empress fell on the stairs of her new apartment. that crazy girl. later that day, i found out she called me first but i didn't answer -- she knew i wouldn't be up coz the sun wasn't out. she's one observant girl. anyway, its good to know that the baby's fine.

monday -- independence day -- well.. rizza and i went to watch the parade along kerber road.. nothing spectacular. then we went on to watch the fireworks at lake ann. then dito ako nasenti hahaha. lech. here are a few random thoughts (as far as i can remember):

1. sarap siguro may kaakap na guy sa blanket under the stars and watching the fireworks.

2. pwede ko kayang gawin to sa pinas on new year's eve? hahaha. asa pa.

3. next year kaya makanood ako ulit ng ganito on july 4th on a different state? AND/OR matupad si #1?

4. kelan ba ako uuwi ng pinas?

5. magkakaboypren pa kaya ako? hahaha. yan po ang million-dollar question.

wag nyo na sagutin yung mga tanong na yan. pag nag comment pa kayo eh mga wala kayong kwentang tao. hehe.

piz out!

see items 1&3.
i was able to do that last weekend with my hubby to be :)
it just amazes me that sometimes, God answers our prayers a bit too long than we hoped but when it happens... MAN! i tell you. it's deja vu.

to think i almost passed up on this one kasi i was too lazy to get up...

September 21, it was a sad friday. Subsob sa work and I felt so lonely. In my mind "One week pa lang since huli ako nagpunta sa kanya, pero bakit parang antagal na, missed ko na sya :(". Then I told her "I missed you hon, do you feel the same?", she answered "Ewan ko". That was 4:45 in the afternoon. By 5:00pm, I made up my mind, pupunta ako sa kanya; and that's is more than 550mi away. I don't know pero iba ang adrenaline ko that time, sobrang excited and high in spirit. Co'z I know in just a few hours makikita ko na naman yung mahal ko; ay mali. 9hrs nga pala ang travel sabi ni mapquest :(, ay bahala na. 5pm I went out of the office. Uwi muna to get my stuffs. And sa kakahalungkat ng things ko, may nakita akong 2 sachet.... Extra Joss!!! Buti di pa expired, pwede pa hehehe! Tamang tama to para di ako antukin sa byahe hahaha!!! With that, I forgot to take my dinner. Ok then, larga na!!! I headed as fast as I can to I-75 Northbound, this is the first challenge, this will be a more than 100mi long drive in a 65-70mph speed limit. Then I-20 Westboud for 318mi. It's already 10pm, aba nagtetext na sya, isip ko "Naloko na, sigurado yari ako nito. Ah basta miss ko sya... bahala na pag nagalit, importante sa akin makita ko sya kundi mababaliw ako sa lungkot". The first text message shows anxiety, the second is anger, the third is mixed anxiety and anger. Then I decided to call sa house nila para ma-assure ko na may magbubukas sa akin ng pinto. I just hoped na di si kumander ang makasagot. I pulled over in the nearest gasoline station, looked for the phone booth and dialed the numbers. Then someone answered, buti na lang di si kumander, I said "Uy Paul", Paul said "Uy Zayd!!!!"...... I answered "Anak ng!!!! wag ka maingay!!!! Narinig ka ba?", He said "Di naman, bakit ba?"... I said "Just be quiet. I'm on my way to your place, I'll be there in 1 and a half hour". He answered "ok". I'm now in I-57, this will be a 55mi drive, then I-67, this will be 88miles... and now I'm now in I-270... the last phase of my journey, only 5mi left to meet my baby. I knocked at their door twice, nobody is opening the door, I thought Paul could have slept while waiting for me. Then I knocked again, finally he opened the door. What a relief. I went to Weng's room, then I saw her innocent face, sleeping. Stress is washed away by my happiness, the happiness to se my girl again. I approached her silently, slowly hugged her. But to my surprise, nagising sya, and akala e rapist ako. She was pushing me away as hard as she could. Then I said to her, "Hey it's me, honey it's me". Then she looked at me, then we hugged each other. After that I apologized to her for me not saying my plans of going to her place. I know that she will be worried about me travelling during night time. I apologized and said that It will not happen again. I just want to surprise her. And I missed her so bad. Then Saturday, we had a good time together ;-D

I know it's crazy, and everybody tells me that it's crazy. But I don't care, I just fight for what I feel for her. I'm so in love with this girl...
