atty yei is a happy name!

he arrived carrying a "familiar shirt" in his left arm…he then sat on the floor and then placed the shirt near his chest…he hugged it tightly as if it is the most important thing in the world….

the shirt was the one "she" wore during a sleepover….he was able to retrieved it and now claimed it as his own….

so he looked at us…and began pouring out his emotions…

he knew that loving her was wrong….she–is into a relationship with a different man ..and him–is not officially out of a complicated one….but when asked on the reasons why inspite of this reality..he still chose to love her, he can’t find a reason.we admired, though, his good intentions…especially when he declared that he will never interfere with her personal relationships…as the most important thing for him at the moment is her happiness…and that he will just "stand near her doorway, ready to give help when she needs it"…a friend…that’s what he is….

but he will never regret every single moment that he spent loving her…as she taught her so many things….

she made her "heart" smile….as she was able to touched it in a very special way… no one has ever done that to him…

whenever he hears her laughing at the corniest joke…it sends a tide of delight..washing all his pain and sadness

with her..he can be a kid again….he can be himself…..no pretentions..and he loves such kind of freedom…

he now craves for burger mcdo and McDo’s cheeseburger….thanks to her…all the while he thought these are "tasteless" concoctions

through her…he was able to discover a different side of him..he never thought exists…he can now boldly say to the world that he now knew what love is…

because he loved her…he found out that it is possible to love someone…wholeheartedly….without asking nor expecting anything in return….

she taught him the value of waiting…and he can’t believe he can be patient….he never thought such virtue existed in him..until he met her…

AND MOST OF ALL…

she taught him that those who wait on their true love can go weary and tired at times…..but…THEY WILL NEVER LOSE HOPE!!!!

(thanks Yaku, guest blogger, nice, nice talaga, as in puwede na!)

first time he set his eyes on her he was sure he found the one he wants to spend the rest of his life with…he–who doesn’t believe in love at first sight–after seeing her–is now a believer

she lacks the supermodel beauty…but nevertheless striking…she has a cute nose, proportioned body and a pinkish face adorned by a deep "dimple"

he, a pc tweaker–is an ambitious young man—religious, good looking and loves his family very much

when she let him in into her cramped office that afternoon, he was so sure she could hear his heartbeat–no one has ever made him feel that way for quite a long time

and so…he tweaked and tweaked…while sitting only a few meters from her..he can’t help but looked…why am i feeling this way? yes..he’s talking to himself

tweak..tweak..tweak…tweak…

"what time are you going home?" he finally mastered some strength to ask

"why are you asking?" she replied..looking at him..his eyebrows twitched

"nothing" he replied.."hmm mataray"…he said to himself

and so they spend the rest of the afternoon…sitting close to one another in silence…she—busy with her accounting and he—busy with his pc tweaking

alas, it’s time to go….

"are u done?" she asked

his heart skipped a beat…she’s talking to me…he said…oh finally

"can you give me 5 more minutes?" he replied..smiling

"ok" she answered, not looking at him…

tweak..tweak..tweak

"are u done? you said only five minutes..it’s almost 20 minutes now..i want to go home" her voice boomed into his ears

he looked at her..oh boy..she’s beautiful when she’s irritated..

he then replied," done" and smiled at her

she smiled at him, too and declared "let’s go home"

sitting side by side in a jeepney..he asked.."where do you stay in Manila?"

"in Mandaluyong, in my Aunt’s house"..she replied..busy getting coins from her purse

"so we’ll both ride the MRT"..he answered…smiling to himself..he reached for his pocket…can’t believe his hands are trembling

"yes" and she smiled at him too

can’t wait for the ride..he said to himself

(some love stories are mean to be written–he he he..so to the "two of you"…enjoy!!!)

we met at starbucks..in one of its dark corners…just near a famous school where he teaches cost accounting..(the school also happens to be his alma mater)..he then ordered coffee and carrot cake.

so we sat there..in silence……i looked at him and he was looking at our cups of arabica….seems like he’s more concern with our coffee getting cold than a heart..about to freeze…

i held my cup and was about to raise it when he caught my hand and rub it with his fingers…i looked at him..his eyes…moist and watery…

      "are you still mad at me?", he asked..he tried to smile..but failed

      "no, not anymore". i replied..putting a brave face

("….eyes slowly open and words won’t be enough..but what is left unspoken burns softly in your touch"   Southern Sons’ Hold me in your arms in the background)

       "so, we are pushing through with the wedding then?", he asked

        i’ve rehearsed a thousand replies to that question…i’m so sure..after what happened..the wedding will be the main concern…i’m so certain he will ask the question..i was speechless.

      "i really don’t know…can you give me more time to think about it", i finally replied..avoiding his gaze…

       "please don’t do this to me", tears are about to fall from his eyes..he grabbed my hands..placed it in his forehead..and bowed..

("…time moves without us…this room will be untouched…we’re safe beneath the truth now…")

        "i’m not saying "no"..i just need more time…please understand…"

so, we sat there…in the coldness of the room..motionless…unmindful of the people around us…he was crying…and a part of me is dying..

("….and oh the heart in me….feels more than you can see….)

ahh…relationship!!!!

(sigh)…i’ve been wanting to update this blog since last week..but i could not seem to organize all the thoughts in my head….well, well, well, let’s try if i can squeeze all of it here at this time……

i am disgusted in the way our government is handling the news…imagine…just a few weeks ago PGMA announced to the media that one of the leaders of a known terrorist group was captured by the police…hooray!!! but..upps….the news is a BIG HOAX..the police got the wrong man….what ever happen to police intelligence?..tsk..tsk…another lapse of judgment?..oh dear, please prick me.

circle of friends….i’m so happy..so thankful to our GOOD LORD…i’m really excited and can’t wait for the next blessing…let’s continue to strive…re-dedicate ourselves to HIM…all for HIS GLORY!!!

saw a picture of an ELECTRIC CAR..sooo cute…according to the article, here are the car’s specs: it seats 4 people, can reach speeds of 30 kilometers per hour, can be charged from electric outlets or battery charger and can run for 8 hours on full charge….the article did not say anything about the price nor the car’s market availability…looks like it might not click…heard that NAPOCOR is asking the ERC for another increase in power rates..if this will be approved…NAPOCOR will pass it to MERALCO..and MERALCO will pass it to US….:(

thanks to….KFC chicken steak….i’m surviving my pork-less days…and it’s only P29….(opps…watch out for bird flu!!!)

resensa green ice tea…..been looking for an instant green ice tea on the market…but couldn’t seem to find one…until….prof mohan and i discovered these tiangge stalls at shopwise cubao…they are selling instant green ice tea for P60/packet/1 liter…we bought 3 boxes with 6 packs each…its okay…but i still prefer the green ice tea at Yashinoya

i’ve been singing this song (in my head) for almost a month now…this song speaks well of what I feel about the LORD….the transition period from being a "yei" to "atty yei" was quite difficult…and sometimes it is frustrating…i know there will still be rough times ahead…but I want to cling to the ROCK of my salvation..to the GOD who made my lawyer’s dream possible…

ONE DESIRE: You gave it all for me…my soul desire, my everything…and all i am is devoted to You…how could i fail to see..You are the love that rescued me…and all i am is devoted to you..and oh how could i not be moved…LORD here with YOU, so have Your way in me….’cause LORD there is just one thing that I will seek…this is my cry…my one desire is to be where You are LORD now and forever….it’s more than a song..my one desire..is to be with YOU..is to be with YOU…JESUS…the one thing..the one thing..i ask..is to be with YOU!!!

catch the CIRCLE OF FRIENDS on 25 november at chill cafe (http://chillcafe.blogspot.com)!!!!

GOD BLESSS!!!
