two years of togetherness...
Yep, we celebrated our 2nd anniversary last January 3. It was a tuesday, so we didn't get to spend the whole day together, but we had dinner together. It was simple, but definitely unforgettable.
I was actually having a fit about it days ago, because it seemed to me that I was the only one excited for that day. I even almost gave up, and told him never mind, he doesn't wanna celebrate it anyways.
Work was busy for me so when that day came, it seemed so usual, nothing extraordinary, or rather, the thought that we were celebrating our second anniversary was the only special thing that day. We were texting and I wanted
sana to have dinner and a movie perhaps, but he insisted that we just stay home because he wasn't feeling well. And then I dunno if I was being intuitive, that I knew him so well, or
ga-feeling lang talaga ko. I kind of sensed that he was up to something.
He better be, I thought. So I pretended to be a little disappointed and said okay.
So I left the office a little early, and dropped by G4 to get him an anniversary gift. I got him a stuffed piggy, not because I'm a Chinese Feng Shui fanatic, but because I just found it so cute I just had to buy it.
Fast forward to when I reached his house, I saw him run to their backyard, and I thought,
Aha! I knew it! I know where his surprise was planted. But I wouldn't wanna spoil everything by being a know-it-all (I would hate to ruin his surprise), and seeing how he carefully tried to surprise me, I pretended that I didn't see anything and went to meet him inside the house. While at the shuttle I texted him that I was so hungry, so he didn't prolong the anticipation and showed me his "surprise" - the candlelit dinner that he prepared for us. And although I was just pretending to be surprised, I really appreciated everything. The fastfood-bought food, the additional dish his dad cooked for us, the papaya which he knew I needed, the candles. It seemed strange, but he still swept me off my feet, still does, never fails.
So we had a sumptuous dinner, with his dog Grigio panting as our background music. He's jealous of me raw, says my babe. And then we went to his room to talk more, and open gifts. He got me a really cute belt bag that I totally loved (it's pink!) and he loved my gift. Of course, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. We named it "Babita" and we took a picture of us for, me and him, babita and guyito. Just spent the rest of the time chilling, talking about life, work, plans, or non-plans. I quarreled with him for quite some time, just about things that I get paranoid with. And as always, he reassures me that everything is, and will be fine. A few hours later, he had to bring me home, because it was getting late.
So that was it. It's a little ironic actually, how things seemed so
kulang, so
bitin, but left me feeling so complete, and contented. Besides, its not actually how we celebrate it that makes it special, but just the thought that we've been holding on, together, loving each other for two fruitful years. And like I always tell him, I just pray that we'll be counting more years together, even until we're both too old to count :))
another adventure for COSMOGIRL!
