Oh My Janey

Proud Girlfriend

My eyes welled up and my chest swelled with pride when I saw Alex on stage. I try not to use cliches but I have no idea how else to explain how I felt yesterday. Alex graduated yesterday and I thought I’d end up crying but I thankfully didn’t. I am still a little frustrated with myself for not being able to take better pictures. It was afterall his graduation and I couldn’t even take a good photo. I’m really disappointed with myself. But this post isn’t about how I fail in photography.

It was incredibly hot and we were all sweaty and yucky. I couldn’t fathom how the graduates felt! it was so hot you’d even sweat by doing nothing. It was a good day nevertheless, and I cannot help but feel happy when I think about it. It was also the first time that I met  Alex’s mother. I was so nervous that I got extra hyper before I met her. Heh. But it turned out well that I even got to watch the whole graduation with her! I am not exactly sure how she thinks of me but she made me eat tons of stuff so I’m guessing that she likes me a bit. I am crossing my fingers here. [Read more…]

I’m Home

Last Saturday, I went back to Elbi to watch my Alex’s volleyball game. It’s basically the highlight of my month because no matter where I am, Elbi will always be my home. I was smiling the whole time just because I was in Elbi, and no hunger or fatigue could have brought me down. [Read more…]

ThursDate

Thursday will always be my favorite day of the week. Back in third year college, thursday would be the only time Alex and I would eat lunch together. My college roomie also said that I only wear perfume on Thursdays. Hee. Now that I’m already working, Thursday is officially the day we have a date since that’s the day he goes back to Manila. So I don’t know. I love Thursdays, and I have nothing else to say.

The Photogenic Hands

If there’s one thing I learned from Alex, it’s that photographs aren’t the only way you can immortalize a moment. Maybe I’m just giving a justification for Alex’s constant refusal to be photographed. Heh. But I really think the best way to actually to make a moment last forever is to fully be there. I’m not exactly sure what I mean (heh) but when I’m with him, taking photos aren’t as essential as being with him.  We’re not one of those couples who have tons of silly photos together. We do have silly photos but it’s not… tons. It doesn’t really matter because we find other ways to have fun besides making silly faces at the camera. Also, we I don’t need a camera to make silly faces. [Read more…]

The Year I Grew Older But Not Taller

It would be hard to compress in one post everything that happened in 2010. Too many things have happened and it would be beyond me to enumerate everything. I have so many ups and lows this year. Yet, I still feel like no matter how many bad things take place,  I can still say that this is a good year. Then again, I am also quite relieved that I’ve reached 2010 with high spirits.

With just a few hours left, I’m going to say goodbye not just to a year but also to a decade. I wouldn’t even attempt to point out the high points of the past ten years. Besides the fact that I am lazy, I also do not have the luxury of time. But this surely is one memorable year.

When I asked my boyfriend if there’s anything he doesn’t like about me, he was said that there’s really nothing he doesn’t like. I prodded even more for answers. Then he said that sometimes he’s “amused” at how gullible I am about life, how clueless and childish I am about the real world. I understand what he’s saying. I know that I can be pretty daft about the serious stuff. I am pretty immature. I was glad, though, when he said that I am changing and I am learning. He said more mushy things but the point is, I think I grew up a lot this year. After everything that has happened, it is quite impossible not to change. [Read more…]
