When you stop looking for Mr. or Mrs. V, Valentine that is.
I remember the days when I always said that prayer or made that wish for a Valentine. A wish for someone to spend your ’special day’ with. A prayer for someone who will give you a kiss, a hug, a smile. Someone to listen to what you have to say, when nobody else will. Someone who looks at you and could see nothing but the best in you, the beauty in you. Year after year I will make that wish. The Valentine never came.
Then, after 10 years - right at the moment that I let go - the instant that I said, ‘It doesn’t matter’, my knight appeared. It happened at the most unexpected moment in my life. I wasn’t ready for it. That was three and a half years ago. We are still together today.
I tried to make logic out of what happened. How and why did it play out that way? I kept trying to find a way to understand. One night, as I was sitting alone at home I thought, ‘I know why!!’ V came at a point in my life when finding a Valentine didn’t occupy my daily thought. I was ready to enjoy ‘me’. I had learned how to be happy - without V. I was content and I was ready to enjoy life, even if it is just ‘me’. It was that which made the difference. My knight saw me as one who no longer relied on ’someone else’ to experience LIFE! I didn’t project a person who will sit at home, wait by the phone, sulking, and waiting for V to call or write. I didn’t care what V was doing, what V was watching, and why V even mattered. This time, I’m going to be V!!! I thought to myself, I am important too.
I was coming home today, after long hours at work and late nights of blogging. I was tired, I was hungry, and I was ready to eat my dinner and sleep. As I drove to park at the lot, my headlights lit up the door to my house. There was a box sitting by the door. Instantly I knew. My knight sent me a bouquet of flowers fresh from Holland. I ran, took the box in and opened it. Inside the box lay two dozen red roses!!! All because, I stopped looking for V, and V has found me. I LOVE YOU POOH!!
Isn’t this beautiful!! HAPPY VALENTINE’s DAY EVERYONE!!!

HI JC, my sweet daughter.. oo nga - guilty na nga ako eh.. ano ba talaga ang ire-regalo ko sa kanya?
he’s into computer games like world of warcraft - - pero i just bought him the extension last christmas at tsaka yung guide…
bigyan nyo naman ako ng suggestions.. he just bought a new laptop pero binili nya rin yung mga accessories.. so wala rin akong maidagdag dun.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!! tulong please!!! i’m going to see him this weekend, dahil hindi ako natuloy last night due to the weather conditions here!!

HIndi lang langgam ang nasa monitor ko; HANTIK!
Higanteng langgam! Suggestment ko sistah, quiet night at home - ipagluto mo sha ng special dinner, yung feeling maybahay talaga ang drama mo. Piktapos set-up mo ng maganda yung dinner nyo, with kandila and roses and wine… O davah, personalized ang touch?
CHuva sistah, mega type na naman ako ng comment sa Jamora consultant na site…nakita ko kasing naka link dito sa site mo, hehehehe… Piktapos kong itodo yung papoorriiii, alang nangyari. Kailangan dw naka log-in ako bago mag comment! Hoy, reynang talipandas, saan naman ako mag log in dun? Siyettt!!!
