Girl Meets the Family

I am in awe. I just came from a long day with the guy and for some reason, I just met his family again – correction – I met his entire clan once more.

It’s funny how nerve-racking things like this could be. I had to be dressed well. I had to smell great… Forget the ciggies and the goth-looking fashion statement I had – I wore a pink cardigan to meet everyone.

It’s weird because his mom still chooses not to talk to me.

This strikes a lot of fear for me, primarily because if he is really to go through this with me, the whole “I want to marry you” thing, then it has to be for real. And his family is really important. I don’t want to be one of those people who can’t get along with her husband’s family. Nor do I want to go crazy and really push the envelope too much. I do hesitate too much when it comes to his mom. It is not natural at all when I’m with his mom. It scares the living daylights out of me.

But it’s something I have to go through.

It’s like jumping across hoops of fire. Get burned, get scorched, just get through. Hopefully there will be less hoops of fire along the way.

Girl Meets Reality

A funny clip from Will and Grace reminded me of this song. Grace’s husband Leo leaves New York for business. It’s pretty amusing because she pops on her video recorder and sings a song for her hubby. Comically speaking, it’s one pretty funny idea.

I can’t really imagine singing a song on a video. I have done it once. And I sent it to him. I doubt that I’ll have enough gumption and courage to actually post it online. Nonetheless, I’m talking about this because he’s about to leave again.

Earlier, whilst waiting for a cab, I can’t help but be a little misty-eyed. Why does a great day have to end? I know that I have been “hogging” him the whole time, nonetheless, I wish that he will actually stay longer. I sincerely wish that the remaining week of his visit will run incredibly slowly. If I wait for him to come back, it would be 2010.

I know this seems like word vomit, but I am feeling mixed about this. I wish he can stay and I know that he has to go. I know he has to work and take care of his business there and all I wish for is for him to be in my arms. Everyday that he was away, what kept me alive and waiting was the idea that he will be back and will be in my arms again. It seems like everyday is a battle to stay sane from missing him and from so much loneliness. When he left last time, I cried for a whole week. No one knew. I didn’t want people to find out that I was that affected. Now, I vowed that I will never cry. I will not cry. I will be stronger and better and will draw from my memory everything that we did together – the trips to the mall, the making-out, the movies we’ve watched, the food we’ve shared (guess what, I think we’re at that level where we can pick out food from each others’ plate), and the laughter that really makes me feel that the intimacy we share is real. Laughing with each other and at each other is incredibly wonderful. I just wish it can go on like this forever.

Girl Meets Cuddle Time

I seriously need some cuddle time with my hunny. I am already missing him.

We’re a proud long distance relationship couple, thus my need to blog about most of the things I want to talk about. I have never been this in love in my life and while I know that most people are bound to sigh and just ignore me, I am just going to have to say that in this life, I think I seriously have found the one.

We just announced to the world that we’re getting engaged. On Facebook, in front of our family and most of our friends. I am seriously excited. I can’t wait for him to get back home and really be with me – for real. It has been daunting being away from him. It has been even more daunting that we can’t be together for a long time. He’s been in Toronto for so long and I’m still stuck in Manila. Primarily because of work, and family…

The Girl

He’s now with me, and I can’t wait until we can actually be together in one house.
