life's little surprises

2 weeks ago, we were not at our best.

you were there, i was here.

you think this way, i think otherwise.

you do the most "normal" things, i get upset.

every little thing is foul.

every little thing is magnified.

then i told myself a good movie with good friends is a good thing to do on a good, long weekend.  fine, do your stuff and i'll do mine (plus, i'm really excited over this movie... why not, it's thor!)  when was the last time i watched a movie?  all done, tickets were booked courtesy of elzie.  she even sent us the confirmation number.

then one of the most bizarre things happened.  elzie told us that due to "technical issues", our movie tickets were not booked.  ergo, movie date is cancelled.  fine.  "what about the confirmation number?" i thought.  being the gullible person that i am, i believed.  no doubt, no questions asked.

then came sunday.  i had to go to church alone.  kuya, april, and keyla went to a baby shower party.  i was feeling a little sad hearing mass alone, but i realized a me-time isn't that bad, and in fact it was very good.  i felt very peaceful, very one with my God.  after mass, i roamed around pasir ris west mall and looked for anything interesting i could find.

then i got a phone call from tita.  she was asking me where i was and what time i would be home.  odd, i thought.  tita never calls me, never asks where i am and what time i'll be home.  i told her i'm about 10 minutes away from home.

then i arrived home, the wonderful baby girl greeted me with cheerful shrieks and laughter.  i carried her and we went to my room.

then i found flowers on my bed.  who could be sending me flowers?  i asked tita but she didn't answer.  fine.  maybe those are from kuya.

then i found you at the door, with the biggest smile on your face, the warmest hug in the world, and one of the most priceless moments that halted time.

then i remembered again how you seldom give surprises but the ones that you execute are just the cutest and the sweetest.

then i'm reminded once again that i'm spending the rest of my life with you.  bati na tayo.  fine.  

PS: i missed thor.  it's a connivance.  a pleasant connivance :) life is wonderful.
