Thirty minutes ago, my celfone played my message alert tone (”Ooohh it’s youuu, sweet babbbyyyy…”) for three consecutive times. Upon checking my phone, however, it alerted me for neither a missed call nor a text message. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
At first, I wondered. Second ring, I got scared. Minumulto ba ako? Third ring, I was in the verge of panic! What if that was an intended message about a very important matter I’ve been waiting for the past few days? What if it was from someone I’ve been waiting to call?!
Then, I started blaming SMART. Yes, the network provider. Was it a system error? Was somebody trying to mess up with my prepaid account? Kainis. I was left with no choice but to text five regular visitors in my Inbox, asking them one by one if they were the ones trying to reach me a while ago.
Only one replied so far. I appreciated this person’s immediate textback considering that he was a thousand miles away. We ended up picking up where we left off and exchanged a few three-page texts. “Hindi ako ‘yon. But do tell me if makuha ka diyan sa ina-aplayan mo ha. Gusto ko na ring umuwi, walang career path dito. And you’re right, iba pa rin sa Pilipinas. So, go for whatever that will make you happy. I’ll see you as soon as I get back. Ingat.”
Sigh. Nakaka-miss din to have someone who will be there to take care of me, support me in times like this, and assure me that everything’s gonna be okey. While I got a few good friends who cheer me up every now and then, iba pa rin ‘yong someone who will really be there for me during the good as well as the bad times.
Some people think that I have become cynical about love. Of course not. I’m still looking forward to meet that person who’s gonna shake my world! Literally and figuratively. Hahaha… “Gusto mo na ba ulit magka-lovelife?” a friend asked me a week ago. “Oo naman.. oo naman!” But I’m not forcing it. I want my next lovelife to be as spontaneous as can be. Just like in the movies.
All this time, I’m waiting for my own Henry Roth (50 First Dates) or Robbie Hart (The Wedding Singer) to come along. If he’s from the past, present, or future, it doesn’t really matter as long as he’s someone I can laugh with, cry with, fight with, make up with, do crazy things with, argue and talk with. More than anything else, he must also be my best friend.
Because it’s our friendship that will keep us together once all the passion and romance fizzles out. Again, just like in those movies I’ve seen.
how about Zohan? ha ha ha…just kidding…
wow… Just reading your blog, I feel like romanticizing back the moment when I first met the love of my life while watching the movie TITANIC…ha ha ha..
I’m with you when you wrote about love that comes spontaneously…. i could have all the time in my hand but not as spontaneous as love that I’m expecting to come but what the heck, i know it will…..one day…
That’s the spirit! Yup, it will come.
Alam mo, what the signs are saying about Librans being most compatible with Aquarians may be 100% true after all. Kahit lagi kong nakakaaway ‘yong officemate ko dati na Aquarian, we easily patched things up kasi alam niya rin kung paano ako amuin.
Saka, in your case, I think we have so many things in common. Pareho tayong kind, fun-loving, at (hopeless) romantic. Pinanood ko rin ‘yong Titanic kesehodang mag-isa ako at nakatayo ako for almost three hours. Hahaha…
Another thing, the Librans and Aquarians are some of the most flexible/adaptable people I know. Kahit saan mo sila itapon, they can survive.
Thanks for the comments, by the way. Ang tiyaga mo ring magbasa at magsulat. I have also read your poems. Galing!!! So full of emotions and all. You could be a good lyricist too, you know.
uhh…thanks…shy naman ako ha ha ha…. yes..and I really have to agree with you…survivor am I especially in time when I am totally cynical and chaotic pag in love…pero ngayon medyo nacocontrol ko na ang emotion ko…sana???! or sana nga???!! maturity counts talaga…and as far as you’re comment me na maging lyricist, fantasy ko yun na may makapansin sa poem ko para lagyan ng tono…kasi pag gumagawa ako ng poem, nasa isip ko lang ang tune, pero di ako marunong kasing maglapat ng tono..so sa wish list ko muna siya for the meantime..
PS>.I’m really grateful for Christy na mapakilala kita kahit so on line lang…your wisdom transcends through the busiest net gateway…
