The two of hearts

It was the third week of training and the very first day of our product training. Everyone was busy talking about the upcoming pay day and what they should do with their first salary.

I remember talking to the guys about going out and having a drink when I got an email from this girl 'Gen', a very quiet girl from Cebu. I didn't know anything about you that time apart from your name. But it was all about to change.

I looked up and saw you looking at me for a second. Smiling. A bit shy and pretended nothing was happening. I quickly typed a reply and before I knew it, my inbox was full of your emails. The first thing I did when I came to training the next day was check my emails. I was excited to hear something from you. What you did with your day or what you were thinking at that time.

Over the next few days, I bought you 'dinner'. Well not really dinner, it was a cup of hot chocolate. I know I said I was going to buy you dinner but I didn't have enough money that time. Every time you go out the door, you'll pull my hair playfully. It was like you saying "hey, I'm here behind you". But other than that, we pretended nothing was happening. We were just two strangers, getting to know each other, trying to be friends. We shared stories about our lives and noticed our similarities and small differences. We shared stories about our life, our personal love stories and relationships and poured out our problems through emails.

You told me you had a crush on me. I made you admit (this sentence won't be compete if I don't add a smiley. So I will) :P :P :P and Danica told me the exact same thing the next day, that you liked me.

One day everyone was on the 5th floor getting their items from the lockers. And I can't remember if it was me or you but someone was definitely sitting on that couch and asked the other person to sit down and have a chat before going home. I can't say that it was the start. But it was at the next level of just 'emailing'. It was the same on the training room though. Since we were a few feet apart we exchanged emails throughout the 9 hour training and after that when we still couldn't get enough of each other we went to the 5th floor to talk.

I remember being so sleepy. I was dozing off and jokingly said that a kiss would wake me up. After lunch, we were in the elevator about to go back to the training room when I asked for a hug and guess what? You kissed me! Yes you.. you serial kisser you! You kissed me. I was shocked, I was surprised and I couldn't move. I didn't kiss you back and I can imagine your face blushing as you hurriedly rush back to the training room. Took me a while to regain my senses but yes I'm now awake. You didn't look at me when I entered the room and our first few emails after that was awkward.

It was another start. It was on a higher level of emailing and even a higher level of just talking on the 5th floor. We kiss when no one is around and we find ways and places where we can just hug each other. Mind you, this was a building with security cameras everywhere. I'm sure the security was watching our every move and watched us like Big Brother. We didn't mind. We kissed and hugged and kiss and hugged.

I was confused, I didn't know what I was feeling. Every time I get a text message, I'll jump up to see if it was you. I check my email a million times everyday and yes I had that urge to bring up your name in every conversation. I can't think properly and it was a natural high. I was falling for you. Plain and simple. I was falling in love.

What day it was? I didn't know. I had no sense of time and the date on the calendar didn't matter. I know something important was going to happen that day, but I was too distracted by your presence. By that shy, very cute smile of yours. I was distracted by the camouflage too! (Haha. No need to get into details)

Something important did happen that day, you said I love you and I didn't say "I love you more", my heart did. I didn't even have to think about it. It just came out like a burst of emotion waiting to be said over the last few weeks.

I could go into details on how our relationship evolved, but that would have to wait till next time. But eventually, we both moved in together, we got our own apartment and we were oozing of sweetness. Something no other couple had. If you want to know what happened after that "I love you more", then you'll have to keep checking this blog. He he he

After 2 years, are we still oozing with sweetness? What do you think?

I want to dedicate this last paragraph to Mary Genevieve Judilla for being the most wonderful girlfriend a guy could ever wish for. Happy 2nd Anniversary. I can never thank you enough for all the precious memories and for every smile you gave me. I guess I'll just spend a lifetime thanking you.

"I love you more."

Happy 2nd Anniversary my baby GP

I met my baby at Sykes. We were at the first few days of training and we weren't that close back then since I was the most silent one there while he on the other hand was the most proactive of all the trainees in that class. A week or two passed, we started exchanging emails. We started sharing our love life with each other. We had so many things in common. We both like shawarma and pizza and we love going to places with each other. We watched a movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean' in Ayala, it was our first real date. I am so happy each time I'm with him. Every person around us at that time will always comment that we looked so in love and that we looked good together. Weeks passed and we got even closer.

One day, I dreamed that I admitted to him that I love him and that he turned and walked away without saying anything to me. That dream made me sad. I had to tell him about I dream I had about him. I don't know what it means. At first, I felt really shy about it. I wasn't able to blurt it all out. He even brought home that night. It was the first time I ever said 'I love you.' and what made me really happy was that he said he loved me more.

A month and a half after that moved in with him in the apartment he was sharing with 7 of his friends and we started doing stuff together. We both resigned from sykes and we were looking for another call center to work for at the time. To make that long story short, we applied and got hired at SupportSave and we met so many friends along the way. We moved to a different apartment with just the two of us and we started buying stuff for the house. It was fun. We used to cook each other meals and we have fun doing laundry and stuff together. The sweetest thing my baby did for me was waking me up with a 'candlelit' breakfast in bed. He even had to close all our windows to make it look like night time just to make that work. He also pud glow in the hearts on the wall near my side of the bed with the words ‘i l♥ve u’ Now my baby is in New Zealand continuing his studies. Although, he is far from me I know that he loves me and he knows that I love him more. I am waiting for the day when he will come back to me.

It's been two years since that fateful day when I admitted that I love him. I'm so glad I told him about it or I wouldn't have him in my life right now. I miss you and I love you so much babyness.

HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY MY BABY GP!
