great weekend

My weekend started off great with back-to-back interviews and a Madagascar premiere on Friday. I skipped work altogether and decided to devote the entire day to 2 things. One is to career advancement (more details about this next time) and two is to my boyfriend, who I haven't seen in 3 days (haha, kala mo matagal na matagal na.. wala lang....) Plus, Madagascar was such a cute movie. I loooooved David Schwimmer as the giraffe :)

Friday was followed by a nice, relaxing Saturday lunch with my girls, with a bit of shopping on the side. When my boy finally came to pick me up, he surprised me with a huge bouquet of red roses. Oh my gohd, it's been a month na pala and I forgot about it. (hehe, who says these things are the exclusive turf of girls? I hardly even remembered!) Afterwards, went to Mass at VV3 and finally got to introduce my boy to G (and vice versa). Glad to see that they hit it off enough for me to leave them alone for a bit :) Then it was off to a nice, cheap dinner at Seaside with a few rowdy frat boys and their girlfriends...

Today was a perfect cap to such a perfect weekend. It started slow, with me finally getting 10 hours of sleep.. then a lazy lunch with my brothers, then off to a store opening with my boyfriend in the afternoon. An uncle of his opened a shop along Wilson, and I got to meet a few more Chan's in the little salu salo there. Afterwards, got to do a little window-shopping and more eating as we hung out in Greenhills, chatting about random shtuff while waiting to meet with a certain person..

Then it was dinner with my family at night. As usual, my grandma stuffed Dennis silly-- she kept putting food on his plate and insisting he wasn't full yet, when I knew he was already eating to the brim. Haha! But aside from that, I loved seeing that he enjoyed my family's company, especially my brothers. The thing with boys, I notice, is that sports will always be the perfect ice-breaker.

After dinner, we weren't ready to part ways just yet, so we hung out at Baywalk for a while. Did more talking pa, as if we haven't spent the last 3 days together. I love lazy moments with him... not really doing anything... just talking... As we discussed different issues & scenarios, I saw even more just how in sync we were-- in terms of life goals, priorities, values, opinions, non-negotiables, etc.

I know it's only been a month, but I feel like I've known him for forever and that I've loved him for far longer than I actually have. I don't know exactly where this feeling comes from, but it just makes me feel really really secure. No matter how much things change (and pretty soon, I'm expecting a big career change), I know that I won't be making decisions alone and facing obstacles/ problems alone. I'll have him with me... him who takes me for what I am and celebrates my weak points as much as he does my strengths. Someone whom I can talk to about anything and everything... Someone I trust with my heart and with my life... Someone who'll be the staunchest supporter of everything I do and the firmest believer in what I can do... All in all, just someone who loves me. Loves me with a love that makes me feel I can conquer the world. I know blessings come in many forms, but by far this is the best one of all.
