My FUNny Valentine

Last night, I had a date with this very cute guy. The GUY surprised me with love songs. He sang every song, every lyric from his heart… “No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears, I’m here. Nothing will harm you. Those fears are far behind you…” (Or something like that) Needless to say, I found myself comforted by each song. His voice is so sweet yet so strong. And the way he looks at me… gosh! Melted me like ice cream under the sun! Aaaaahhh… Am I still smiling? I guess I am... =)
I wish that evening never ended… If there really is a cloud nine, I was there. Floating and dancing with outstretched arms…

Waaaah! Sino ba namang di kikiligin don?! Hellllooo? Ano ako bato?! Shempre ninamnam ko bawat minuto! Hehehe =)

Sandali lang. Bakit parang di ka naniniwala? At anong ibig sabihin ng smile na yan? Hmmm? Nangyari yon, noh!

OK, OK… That was partially true (and half-imagination). =) Well, you can’t blame me! That’s exactly how I felt when I heard Christian Bautista sing at the Mandarin Oriental. Two angels named Beng and Aileen surprised me and Bijoi (well, she already had an idea what we’re gonna do so that leaves me and only me clueless) with tickets to Kuh Ledesma and Christian Bautista’s Valentines concert… (Right, the smile is still glued to my face.)

I have always thought that I’m observant and that I know how to come up with reasonable conclusions. I can’t explain why during that day, February 11, 2005, I was afraid to think. I was afraid to expect. An officemate told me he thinks we’re going to Regine Velazquez and Pops Fernandez’s concert. And I replied with “Sana Gary V na lang or Christian B… pero sa Glorietta kami eh! Girls’ Night Out daw. Di ko lam gagawin namin pero sabi ni Kyaleks, 2 years ko daw tatalakan sarili ko pag di ako nakasama. Hehehe” I didn’t want to think, I didn’t want to expect… para siguro di ma-disappoint. (Takot ang lola mo.) Anyways…

Di ko na kukwento mga detalye from the dinner sa Sbarro at ikot sa mall. Mabilis pangyayari eh… Basta, sa totoong buhay, magaling ang tactics ng dalawang engels namin.. Diversion! (Sabi nga ni Legolas) Di ko napansin ang tarp ng concert nung nasa tapat na kami ng hotel dahil sa itinurong building sa other side. Pati yung poster na malapit sa entrance dahil may tinurong restaurant na masarap daw ang pagkain, and we should try the place sometime. =) (Ashus! Hehehe =))

Di ko napigilan ang sarili kong kiligin at first. You know naman, nag-try akong magpaka-demure. (Pero di ko pala mashadong kaya. hehe). Isa lang naman reklamo ko. Ang mga audience dun ay parang tuod na di gumagalaw! Iba lang talaga siguro ang pag-appreciate nila ng songs ni Kuh and Christian (o diba, close?). They were just sitting there, holding their date’s hands.. chuva! (Great! mang-inggit daw ba?!) Habang ako, well… maganda. =)

Di ko na nabilang ang dami ng kanta. Di ko na matandaan kung ilang beses nagpalit ng gown si Kuh Ledesma. Basta ang alam ko lang, andun ako, habang kumakanta si Christian Bautista! (By the way, dalawang beses lang shang nagpalit ng polo. Grayish yung una, reddish yung pangalawa. At naka-black sha na coat and pants at shiny ang shoes!)

So ganun na nga po ang nangyari. (for more details, visit ate beng’s blogsite hehehe). Nahiya pa nga akong sumigaw ng “More!” eh. Effort talaga yun for me.

Nakasakay na kami sa taxi pauwi, kinikilig pa ko. Hirap itago ng smile. Hehe =) Hindi pa ko nakatulog agad pag-uwi. KAILANGANG malaman ito ng mga housemates ko! Hehehehe =) At gaya ng inaasahan, they’re happy for me. (and I guess, nakulitan din sila. Sowee. Hehehe)

Thank you Ate Beng and Ate Aileen. “What a pleasant surprise!” is the biggest understatement of the year! (My year, that is. Or years maybe)
Hanggang ngayon, naka-smile pa rin ako. =)
