on roses and prayers

two months since my last post. hihihi... what can i say?

a couple of weeks ago, jheng told me stories about st. therese and roses. you pray to st. therese and you could either ask questions or make a wish and then you could ask for roses as a sign that she favors on saying yes to your question or granting your wish. my section during 1st yr HS was st. therese but i forgot about her story. all i coud recall was that she was associated with roses.

2 weekends ago, mikey and i went with kuya and aira to the mall of asia... get along with everybody else's hype. geez it was sooo crowded we decided to go to glorietta after all to watch xmen. we left aira and kuya in the crowd hehehe.

ok... mikey had this bad, bad headache and he was bitching about it. mega sungit. i asked him, "mapula ba mukha ko?" 'cause i was really conscious if i might have applied too much blusher. ay irritation ang mama, and he answered "hindi" even though he hasn't even glanced at my face yet. ay... pissed of ang lola! away na 'to! ayoko nang sinusungitan ako... if you're a bitch, ay mas bitch ako... hihihi... edi mega dedma na nga. he was trying to say sorry, and i was just nodding my head and he claimed i was making him irap! hehe syempre deny ako. well, i might have made irap at some point... kainis eh.

ohwell, so we were in a taxi, making suyo and dedma (tahimik ito hindi naman kami gumawa ng eksena sa taxi hehe) and i recalled about st. therese. and i said a silent prayer... please show me a rose if he's the one for me. but then we were along edsa and it was most probable that we'll see those little children selling roses... so i made bawi the prayer... ay, st. therese, yellow rose na lang kse madali lang pag red rose... and with that, we got to glorietta without seeing any rose... wala.

so i forgot about it... and i was slightly making pansin mikey na... pero that doesn't mean hindi na kami inis sa isa't isa. ohwell...

just to give a background, mikey isn't the i'll-give-you-roses-everyday type. i know that there's this single instance he sent me a dozen of red roses during our 1st yr anniv last may. other than that, even if we've had a couple of fights, he makes up by saying what i need to hear or doing what he needs to do.

ok so going back, after we bought our movie tickets, he started with the saying-what-i-need-to-hear part and i was cooling down na... and all of a sudden, he said "teka lang dyan ka lang"... and ran off somewhere... it turned out, he ran off to buy a rose... syet!!! the prayer! and i was standing there, speechless and all and teary-eyed 'cause i could not believe it. but.. it was a pink rose, not a yellow rose. we happened to be standing in front of a furniture shop and i told him about the prayer and the yellow rose. he told me na wala naman yellow rose dun sa flower shop... and i turned around and faced the furniture shop, and there it was, a bouquet of yellow roses. and he told me, e hindi naman binebenta yan e, display yan! hehehe my prayer was, after all, "show me" not give me...
