Oh no! You didn't!

Oh yes, I did.

My emotional what not has been very obvious based on my last few blogs. I even forgot to blog about my own birthday just because I was way too low on energy & enthusiasm about life. Choz. But last Friday, I was informed that the project I was removed from was well, let's just say I'm back on that team again! Yey! The past week has been such a blessing! Of course more than the big project, there were other small miracles that happened. 

The next day, after work, we celebrated Seph's birthday at Tides. There was me, Rob & Eda. He only has three friends. Haha! I'm kidding. Anyway, I don't know why we finished at 3am but we're not THAT intoxicated. When we got to our home, they slept right up. Not sure if it's alcohol or slipping pills they put in our drinks. Eda of course wasn't at all sleepy cause she just woke up before heading to Tides (that's also why she's late). I did sleep too and woke up to find both of my friends gone. kthanksbye.

Presenting.. the birthday boy.. He always sleeps in pictures.. ☺

The next day was church day! I'm so glad that Rob & I are now attending worship regularly. No more lazy ass, lame, stupid excuse not to go. I felt it was just right to go & allot something for God since we have been blessed with so much. Plus, Victory Fort has church for kids. It was just so awesome to have a class for them wherein they could really get to know Jesus with programs that are age-appropriate. Imagine how happy we were that Jieshua was sharing to us all the things they did - crafts, role-playing of bible stories etc. It was just the best!

Here's our picture from last Sunday.. ☺

And here comes the main event of this entry.. 

I wish I didn't but of course, I did! I forgot that it was our monthsary last Monday! Oh the horror! I know that you might think it's nothing but Rob & I really do celebrate monthly anniversaries. With all the happenings and the sleep-deprivation (thanks to saturday night), It totally slipped my mind. I woke up Monday morning, told Rob about my dream, prepared to go to work and left. Rob was apparently waiting for me to greet him. I had a lot of things to do that day and all that mobbed my mind. Just when the van going to our site in Ortigas was about to leave, I decided to check twitter, maybe tweet a little.. TO MY HORROR!!! Rob tweeted just before I left home "Happy Monthsary!" OMG!! Imagine, my jaw dropped, literally.

I thought of a plan. I will continue ignoring & acting like "I forgot" and then surprise him. So I hurriedly texted him that I wanted to have lunch with him, in which he politely declined saying he was gonna go to the gym. I found the chance beneficial so that I could buy something for him and he'll be totally shocked when I give him the gift. 

So I continued ignoring his hints about the event that day, went to buy him something and worked..

He came to fetch me after work. I gave him the gift and confidently told him that I was intentionally trying to make it seem that I forgot but I didn't. He laughed and told me that he knows I forgot, read his tweet and then made this plan. He knows me so much sometimes it's scary! So we laughed at it. He gave me a paperbag with a pack of cashew inside and a card (with corny jokes) with lots of erasures cause the card was meant for "special friends" aka GIRL BEST FRIENDS.. Haha! But I really appreciated it! Raise your hand if you're as lucky that your guy gives you cards. ☺ I didn't even give him one. I just wrote a letter. xx

We went to Harbour Square near CCP. This was his special request. This was where we used to hang. This was where we last dated before we broke up last year. Hoho. And I was shocked to see that we were there in less than 20 minutes! Did we fly? 

God, it's been so long since we've been here. BGC and Greenbelt has been the new thing for us because it's more convenient and Harbour is kinda stigmatized due to the untoward events in the past. I felt like a David facing my Goliath. 

The usual.. Army Navy's burger, chicken & onion rings. plus Starbucks.

Feeling photographer. ☺

Failed attempt to have a glorious panoramic picture of the Manila Bay... 

I am really sorry that I forgot but it wasn't all bad. ☺
We spent our night celebrating our love, talking about life and facing inner demons & fears.

I would like to end this entry with a screenshot of my previous professor in Lasalle & now a very good friend, Ariane Borlongan's Instagram quoting me from one of our conversations. I told him that the last part I got from the bible...

I really do feel like a hero or something.
