Birthdays are supposedly the celebrator’s best day of the year. Yesterday was Dylan’s birthday and surprisingly, it was one of my best days.

I gave him a tie (for the wedding), that Rod Stewart CD he’s been dying to have and a day. I know it doesn’t sound much but looking now at how the day played out, it is actually a long day to have played out.

First, I “gift-wrapped” the tie and “re-packaged’ the CD. Only the celebrator knows what I did with this. It was one of our longest mornings and nothing could’ve matched the perfection. Then we had a hearty lunch involving cheese and barbecue ribs. I swear gluttony is the theme of the day.

We hit the mall for Dreamgirls. Nice movie, though a little oversung at the end. But we enjoyed it nonetheless. We had the whole afternoon planned out and he was supposed to bring me home by the afternoon. Knowing his family troubles and how he doesn’t want me to be in the middle of it, I didn’t question his decision.

His wish was granted. His mom invited me for dinner. So we rushed to his mother’s home in Quezon City, where we had a dinner mixed with Italian and Chinese. It was one of Dylan’s best evenings.

Heck, it was one of Dylan’s best days.

So what made it one of my best days? That day made me realize the one thing I never thought I would.

I do love this person. I love this person so much; my heart broke when he hesitated to bring me home to his family because he doesn’t want to bother me with their troubles. I love this person sincerely that I wish his family no less than the best, no less than the happiness that I feel in my heart when he looks at me.

I love him. And it’s the best day of my life… to realize that I truly deeply love the person I am with. And that life now is worth looking forward to.

Flashback 2 dance recital

February 24, 2007 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I successfully passed my product training. We start with our nesting period next week. My shift sucks, as usual. Call center shifts are not always favorable. But nonetheless it’s workable. I start at 12mn till 9am. I hope all goes well. It’s my first time in collections, and I normally hate collectors, but now that I am one of them, I might as well change my opinion somehow.

Dylan was here earlier. We (us and my folks) went to Daniel’s recital. It was a blast. We really had fun. It was my first time to see my brother perform. It was funny though, coz the emcee kept on mispronouncing words. Honestly, I was half stark raving mad. Unless you are a communications major, you won’t understand my anger.

He introduced his girlfriend to the family. She looks like Juliana Palermo. I prolly shot about 23 videos and I will try to upload them to YouTube. They’re quite a lot and judging the fact that we only have dial-up, it might take ages before it finishes. I guess I hafto ease it bit by bit.

If ever I won’t be able to hit it with YouTube, you can count on my Multiply account.

Right now, my mother is recalling every single detail of the day I got mugged to my grandmother. Ugh. The pain – it’s all coming back to me now.

Dylan said he tried to recall if he ever went to his brother’s affairs. I felt bad when he said he can’t seem to recall any. Ever since he moved out, he has missed out on a lot with his family. A part of me felt a tad guilty about it, because I know I hardly missed any event in my family (and now it seems to me like I am rubbing it in his face), but I know that wasn’t his intention.

My guy has to let air out. He can only hold his breath for so long.

He asked me if he needs a counselor, prolly to assist him in setting his priorities, the “things to straighten out” part of his life. But then again, I don’t have a stupid partner. He already knows what to do. He’s just taking another deep breath, and to some, deep breaths can be quite a while.

I am now getting a clearer picture of what I want in my life. There are things that I can never really solve, and I don’t have to bother myself with that. I think that’s a good thing for me to remember. It’s a good wake up call so I can now stop beating myself up for every problem in the world I cannot solve.

The lines became finer at this point in our relationship. I can now say that when I have a family of my own, I will not miss an event in their lives.

My brother rocks! ;P
