Happy 26th Monthsary!

Today we mark the 26th month of our relationship. Lots of things has happened. Some of them are bad while most of them are good. I can still remember how many people had tried to stand between our relationship. They almost succeeded. Almost.

Memories of those times are still vivid in my mind. It's not because i haven't forgiven those people yet and all the things that they've done in trying to destroy our relationship. It's my own choice to keep those memories fresh in my mind for as long as i want. Main reason is because i've learned a lot of things with those experiences. As a matter of fact, i might want to thank them for what they've done.

To someone whom i used to trust the most, but did nothing but just betrayed me. You never know how you made me stonger with what you've done. You used to tell me that you envy me because i am strong. Well, You might be envying my strong personality for the rest of your life. Because i'm braver than before. Thanks to you. You're forgiven. But completely not existent in my life any longer.

To the girl who has tried to take Leo away from me. I'm so sorry but you failed to do so. And don't dare to say that you were just forced to do that because i provoked you. I never did that. In time, hopefully you'll realize that its not good for anyone to mess up with someone else's life. It's definitely not correct to have fun at the stake of other people. And you're also forgiven.

To Leo, who has exerted so much effort to make this relationship stronger and to be almost close to "perfect"; Thank you. For all the laughters, the headaches that we've shared. Im grateful coz i have you. And i'll forever be. I know that there's no certainty that we 'll be together until the end. But its more than enough for me to have you around now. Bhe, You've done your part in this relationship so damn good. I just hope that in my own simple way, i made you aware how important you are to me and how i love you so.

To myself, well, Congratulations! People may wonder why but there is really a long story behind why i am congratulating myself. To simplify, its because i was able to keep a relationship and take care of it this long. There are a lot of things aside from that but i'd rather keep mum about it. Just don't want to mess things up when it's running smoothly.

So i bet this writing is enough to cover the celebration of our 26th monthsary. Too bad Leo and I can't celebrate on the exact day. But definitely we've found an alternative way to do it. Love you bhe. And may God will continuously bless our relatioship...

Adjustments period

Photos here were taken on a later part of 2005. Probably around September. We've just started the relationship. Getting to know each other, most of the time arguing about a lot of different things. But at the end of the day, we'll kiss and make up as if nothing happened. But deep in our hearts we know that those arguements and misunderstandings helped us both to be better persons individually and as partners.

At the start of a relationship, what we people normally do is just look at the positive sides of the person whom we believe we love the most. But if that feeling that we're claiming as true love isn't genuine at all, i'm pretty sure the spark will immediately disappear as soon as you discover the "not-so-good" side of your partner. Everyone of us has a good and a not so good side. We have to admit that. And no matter how hard you hide it, people around you will still see that as time goes by.

I'm thankful that it didn't happen to our relationship. We've passed to the stage wherein you'll only show your good traits and will exert so much effort just to avoid disappointing each other. That isn't bad after all. Now, we don't only treat each other as boyfried and girlfriend. We also consider ourselves as bestfriends. Another thing to be proud of, huh?! :-)

How it all started...

I was finally able to create our own blog. This site will contain almost all of the things. Flashbacks from the past, present happenings as well as our plans for the future. As my first post, i want to reminisce about how we met and of course how exactly we became together. Well, nothing so extra ordinary about it. It just so happened that we both used to go to the same place with our friends back then. Wondering where that place is?... Yes! cafe in Recto along the university belt. Its ironic cause people always say that when you meet someone in a bar or in a place similar to that, never ever take that person seriously cause if you do, you'll just end up hurting & heart broken. I used to believe that saying, i really do.

Up to now, i still also can't understand how in the world Leo convinced me to go out in a date alone. I know for a fact that during those days when we first met, having a serious boyfriend is really not part of my plans yet. I just hang out there with my friends to play billiards, have some fun. And there are instances that we meet new friends. Some of them will start courting me or will show some sort of affection but i just don't take them seriously. Not because i want to play with them. Plain & simple, i just want to be alone for sometime. But it seems i have broken my own plans because Leo came. I'm pretty sure Leo share the same thoughts as mine.

Now look at us. We'll be celebrating our 26th monthsary on the 27th of this month. Isn't it great?! We're getting stronger everyday. We've encountered a lot of obstacles (who haven't, anyway) but we were able to handle all of those. That's the most important thing. I know there are more to come. We're expecting that. But we're confident enough that our relationship is strong. That is something that we can be proud of.

Till here for now. Expect more posts in the coming days... ~wink~
