We Find Hope in People

I accompanied my mom today at Fr. Suarez's Healing Mass and an incident really caught me. 

There was this old couple sitting on the next row to my seat probably in their 60's. The lady had brace in her neck, the same type that PGMA had before and his husband was sitting next to her. Then I noticed that their hands were locked into each other. It was the sweetest thing I saw at a church. It's as if the husband was saying, "be strong, we can do this..am here for you. You'll never have to go through this alone, for I will be with you." 

What made my heart melt and even got me teary-eyed was when the husband stood up and leaned over to give his wife a kiss on the lips. Yes on the lips, in public. Like he was declaring to the whole world how much he loves her. Even though his wife couldn't reciprocate that kiss he just went for it.

This I think is the reason why people still hope and believe that a love as great as this still exists. A love that stays strong even in the toughest circumstances. A love that will help survive and overcome all the hardships and pains. A love that is so true and would really last a lifetime.

Thanks to those 2 for reminding me of all that. 

XOXO,

It was a Good Friday Indeed! :)

Have you ever had that feeling of having a hangover from a certain event / day in your life? You keep on rewinding back the conversations, remembering facial expressions and smiling like crazy every time memories of it pops into your head.

At first I was kinda nervous, I did not know what to expect. I was thinking if there were things we would talk about or would there just be dead air most of the time. Yes, we've had a good conversation before but there was alcohol involve so that doesn't really gauge if we do get along. You know how alcohol can instantly light-up a conversation.

But It was just a perfect day, having great conversation about life, love and business over coffee then continuing it over dinner as if you don't run out of things to talk about. In the middle of those talks he does simple things and surprising gestures that makes you smile. He cracks a joke once in awhile that makes you laugh and some heartfelt stories as well that makes you go.."awwww." Everything was spontaneous, I could sense that he wasn't trying or making an effort to please me it all just came naturally.

Every girl wants to be respected and treated as a princess and he did just that. Just when I thought that gentleman guys are non-existent anymore, he proved me wrong. Opening doors for me, getting me a tissue when I accidentally spitted a jelly because I was laughing over his story, serving food on my plate, lighting my cigarette for me, going down the car with a small umbrella that only one can fit so that I won't get wet (he ended up getting wet instead) and got out of the car and walked me to the house to say goodbye. Oh, he din't even try to kiss me, just made beso and hugged me, that for me was the best thing he did.

It was too surreal, that sometimes I wonder if any of it was true. I even thought that he might have read my blogs that's why he knew what I wanted a guy to do for me but he doesn't even know I have one. It's been awhile since I was out on a date, well I'm not really sure if you could call it that way but I must say this was one of the most unforgettable one. I'm not sure though if there's gonna be a part 2 but at least I've experienced how it is to be treated well. That in spite of knowing a lot of men who are assholes and rude there's still that guy who thinks that I deserve to be treated with respect and am never gonna settle for less than this on my next one. 


Till now I still smile whenever I recall memories from that day. :)




XOXO,

You Make Me Smile! :)

Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times starts to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed

Sing like bird, dizzy in my head

Spin like a record, crazy on  a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just a thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

Even when you're gone,
Somehow you come along just like
A flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain, and just like that.

XOXO,
