for now

to my dear husband,

the past year hasn't been very good.  ok, it has been tough.  ok, it has been very, very, very tough.

remember this?  i was very excited then.  i even swore that we'll never be tangled in an LDR again, but look at us now.  we are back to zero, back to where we were a year ago.  we don't have to ask why.  this is the point where all we could afford is to look forward to better days, nights, and lifetime.

for now:

no more bus rides together.  this was taken when we went to the office-that-shall-not-be-named.  we were carrying a big bag of papers.  it was a long ride home, but it was a joyride.  you fell asleep because you were tired.  i love long rides with you!


i sleep with the lamp on now.  you know i'm matapang that way.  nobody accompanies me to late night trips to the toilet.  solution: i don't make late night trips to the toilet anymore.

no more room service of lucky me pancit canton when i'm working from home... complete with iced tea.  after i eat, you diligently collect the plates and glass.  tip-top room service.  serbisyong totoo.  kapuso na, kapamilya pa.

nobody shares an egg with me during breakfast.  i used to take the yolk (aka cholesterol), and you take the white part (aka protein).  now, an egg is all mine.  i'm not happy.

these are your 2 spots when you fetch me from the bus stop every night.  first stop is for bus 12, 21.  second is for 358, 17.  it's always a comforting sight to see you waiting each night.  sometimes, you sport a happy aura.  sometimes, when the boredom is that bad, you definitely look like you badly need a hug.  for the past two weeks, i still try to look for you each night.  maybe you might be there waiting for me.  so dramatic!  bongga!


no more wacky shots with keyla.  we both know it, keyla loves you!  

no more meriendate - our favorite prata.  cheese and mushroom for me, onions and egg for you.  happiness is cheap, if not free. :)

no more picture taking anywhere and everywhere.

no more occasionally unhealthy dates.

for now, my dear, for now.  i miss you.  i'll see you soon.  i'll see you when the execution of the most perfect plan takes place.

love,
your wife
