Anniversary Special ღ

I’m finding it hard to start this blog post; not because I do not have something to say, but because I have a lot of things to say and I can’t find the right words to literally explain how contented and overwhelmed I am at this very moment.

One year of officially being with the one I love the most, and seventeen months of having him as a special person in my life is unquestionably the longest time that I’ve used my heart for the ultimate purpose it has other than to keep us biologically alive – to love.

I can say the most hackneyed line that suggests that time flies so fast is true. On a daily basis, I just wake up having him as my first thought, and then he stays on it the whole day that sometimes I catch myself having a detour off of my real world just to daydream about him, and every night he is the last thing in my mind and there are plenty of nights when he is there in my dreams too, not to haunt me, but to make it sweet & special – it just goes like this everyday. No wonder I can say to myself that it’s hard to believe it’s a year with him already because every ticking of the clock, our hearts beat as one, which made me forget about the time, the period that we’ve been together, and just think about my undying love for him – the love that keeps on growing every single day. I can’t believe that it is still possible for me to fall in love with someone any more than I already was, but I was wrong.

People say that he’s too lucky to have me in his life, but I tell them that it’s the other way around. I was the one who is so blessed to have him in mine. Until now, I still can’t find the right reason that is enough for me to say that I deserve someone like him. What he sees in me for him to stay committed to me this long a time? I really don’t have any idea. But whatever it is, I am more than thankful.

Enough with the brimming sweetness. I’m writing to share with you the happiness that we have had for a two-day celebration of our anniversary. :)

Due to my being locked up at home every Sunday (Disclaimer: saying that my parents are strict would count as an understatement), we were not able to go out on our Anniversary Proper. Nevertheless, we were able to get pleasure from it by being sweet all throughout the day. He was teasing me that the only important reason to celebrate that day is nothing but Easter Sunday. And he’s just so cute whenever he teases me. Hihi.

Greeting each other at twelve midnight is too mainstream, but for me, it’s still one of the sweetest things ever; to stay awake and wait for that special day to arrive – it’s just too incredible.

The day went well and I have to say that even though we are not together, I can feel him beside me. If I could, I would pick him up in my mind and heart and then hug the life out of him. Hihi. >:D<

Facebook also served as our instrument to make each other feel extra special that day. For our seventeen months of being together, I’ve known him as a person who is not showy. Honestly, I prefer one who can sweep me off my feet by his words and actions every now and then. He does it less frequently; that is why, when he utters the words that I’ve been dying to hear, I can’t help but melt into a puddle. Anniversary statuses are the best, that’s all I can say. It’s kind of a tradition every month. But it gets sweeter and sweeter. Hihi.

Sweet, yeah? Hihi. :) And for the good night message, we’d go for short yet sweet. Hihi.

We’ve been busy the whole week; I went to school to process my scholarship renewal (one of the things I’ve been super thankful for) and to enroll for our summer classes that will start next week (April 16, 2012). #FML Meanwhile, he’s been busy finding a company for his internship, then he went to Laguna to have quality time with his family, and he went to school too to enroll for his practicum. We agreed to meet on the 13TH, and it’s on a Friday. -_- As usual, it has been a difficult time making my parents consent to our anniversary date. But of course, I made them agree to it by the end of our conversation (through a series of white lies, though).

Friday came, and I thought we would suffer from Friday the 13TH-bad-luck. Thankfully, everything went well according to my plans. Hihi. Finally, we met each other after a week of missing each other so much! :”> Seeing him just makes me feel like I’m floating on cloud nine. I was dumbfounded when he told me that our date will be on SM Megamall. All throughout the week, I thought we’ll just be spending our day at Trinoma. Haha. I still can’t get over my foolishness. Hihi. 

First thing we did while waiting for lunch time is to play at World of Fun :”> Basketball, a game where you will protect the hole on your side and shoot the round object to his (Ugh. Whatever you call it), car racing, motorcycle racing, and my new favorite: Terminator Salvation!!! \m/

The gun was freaking heavy that’s why I am now suffering from body pain, but it’s super worth it! I enjoyed a lot. Hihi. 


After an hour in the arcade, we went outside the mall and I have no idea where we are heading. I just smiled to myself because that’s how I like it – when I don’t have to think anymore and my boyfriend would just lead me to the next place we’re supposed to be at. We kept on walking until we are in a place named “El Pueblo”. I asked him why we’re there and he told me that we’ll eat. I was astonished because there are a lot of restaurants in there. We kept walking until we stopped in front of Racks. My eyes widened because it’s part of the list of the restaurants I’d like to eat at. “Wow. This guy is just so a-m-a-z-i-n-g,” I told to silently myself. Hihi. :”>

Again, he already knows what to order so the only choice that is up to me is what side dish and drink shall we order. I am proud to say that it is my first time to eat lunch without rice (just bread and pasta) and I still managed to get myself full and feel bloated afterwards *brrrrrp* :3 Hihi.

It took us a long time (almost two hours) to finish our food and because it’s too many, I was unsuccessful so we just took it home. Hihi. The food is so yummy and I find myself drooling every time I think of it! Hihi. Finally, I’ve tasted the best ribs in town. ;) A million thanks to my thoughtful boyfriend for treating me at Racks El Pueblo. *_*

It was my turn now to give him some stuff. I feel so small for my simple gift for him, which is why. :( So I decided to buy him our favorite: MILK TEA. I ordered Milk Winter Melon Tea @ Gong Cha. Of course, it’s the best milk tea in town! Even though we’re still full, we kept on drinking and drinking. Hihihih. <3

My gift for him (Compilation of letters for him)

We went to Trinoma again so I could buy him a cake @ Cafe Mary Grace (baked goods in there are also the best). I made him choose the flavour that he likes, but he didn’t! He told me that he would walk-out if I buy him one. Errrr. -_- I still can’t forget how upset and disappointed I am that moment. I just bought boxes of cheese rolls and brownies for him instead. :| Ugh. Failed plan because of his blackmail. I will never let that happen again! I swear. Well hopefully, he (and his family) liked it. :”>

It’s time to go home now so we went for a bus ride. Having him beside me, holding his hand and hugging him and talking to him about random things, laughing and smiling for childish reasons... Just the best feeling I could ever have :”> He is the first person to make me experience all the wonderful feelings in the world and I know deep inside me that he will be the last too. <3

We went home dead tired, but knowing that you’ve spent your whole day with that special someone you are willing to share your whole life with makes all the body aches worth it and you would still end up smiling despite all of them.

The night has been quiet and sweet between us and to end our two-day anniversary celebration with a sweet text from him is truly beyond compare. I’ve had the best date ever!!! <3

Who wouldn’t fall more deeply in love with a guy like him? He is the best thing that ever happened to me. He really is. :">

Thank you, Louis Dominic Cuevas Hernandez! You are awesome! <3


I vow to have the endurance that our love demands.
And no matter what challenges might carry us apart.
We will always find our way back to each other.
