2014

It was supposed to be striking whilst the iron is hot. Capitalizing on the opportunity. That has always been an effective guiding principle. That was not the case though. The momentum that was gained was lost. It was halted, rather abruptly. Was it destined? Certainly not. There is no such thing. Everything that transpired was a result of questionable decision after questionable decision. Not by mere destiny. 2013, by far, was the best. The same cannot be said for this year, admittedly.

Looking back on the year that was, it should have been a lot better, considering all that was accomplished the year before. It's almost over and there's not much left that can be done to change it.

Interestingly, the one reason that made 2013 the best year of my life is the same reason (or motivation) why it would make 2015 even better. That's the only thing I'm holding on to right now. The only reason I wake up every single day. The only motivation I will ever need.

Forever

It was supposed to be just another day in the office, as cliche as it may sound. A day that was as normal as any day could be. Then came that fateful hour. That date with her that proved to have vitally affected the subsequent events. It was just a regular dinner, we talked as if it was just nothing. But we both knew that that event had a very significant meaning, not just for that particular night, but for the days that followed. We knew that something was going to change, that something was going to begin.

That's pretty much how everything started. How the best time of my life started. The first night that I got to talk to her. Finally.

Since then it has been nothing short of dream-come-true. Yes, as cheesy as it is, she's been my dream come true and everyday I am grateful that I was given this opportunity.

Today we are celebrating our first year together. I've written a couple of short pieces about her and for her. This is no different. It's my simple way of letting her know how thankful I am that she is in my life. Also, I want to let her know that I don't intend to be her whole life, I just want to be her favorite part of it.

Happy anniversary babe... :)

I love you forever.

6th And Counting...

Today is our sixth month together. To say that the last 182 days have been the best days of my life is a complete understatement. Every single day I look forward to seeing her, whether it be at the office or some place else. Our next six months though is gonna be a bit different. She's leaving the office next month so no more lunch date with her. That's about 30 days from now. But I'm not gonna ruin our day with me thinking about it too much. I'll deal with it when I get there. For now, I'm spending the entire day with the love of my life and not give a shit about everything else.

Happy 6th month babe!

I love you so much Cai...

I love you to the moon and back.

Just Like A Splendid Love Song

I know I should be apologizing. How dare I use this for my blog. I'm sorry but I could not put together words that would aptly describe what my last five months have been other than what I borrowed from the band. It was filled with joy and the feeling of being complete and content with what I have. It was indeed like a splendid love song.

Sometimes I still ask myself if all this is real. If God really brought us together. Hell, my inebriated ass simply could not believe. The past five months have been the happiest by far. It didn't run as smoothly as I would want it though. There were ups and downs along the way, I wouldn't deny that. But hey, it's all part of the whole process. And it's all worth it, if you ask me. I wouldn't want it any other way. Like what I usually tell her, this right here, is my favorite part of my life simply because she's in it.

Whenever we are together, it's as if the world ceases to exist. We never seem to give a shit about what's out there. To borrow a line from the song, "...just the two of us painting a world of our own. Everything is perfect. Just like a splendid love song." This somehow epitomizes what "us" means.

As much as possible I want her to stay behind the camera. I want to keep everything as private as possible. I have to be pardoned. I have to be forgiven. Because if you are in love, you want people to know. And that is one of the reasons why I am writing this - I want people to know. More importantly however, I want her to know. I want her to understand what the last five months meant to me. I want her to understand what she means to me.

Happy heart's day babe!

I love you Nica, with all my heart.
