First Anniversary

I thought that only the priests could teach me good lessons through their homily during the midnight masses. I didn't expect that I'll be deeply touched by an old couple beside me two midnight masses ago.

During the rite of peace, as we were greeting each other with "Peace be with you", I heard the old man saying "I'm sorry" to his wife with a kiss on the forehead. Isn't that sweet? It's one of the sweetest and touching scenes I've ever witnessed.

I don't know but for some reasons, guys find it hard to apologize for their mistakes. I noticed it with my dad, my brother and some guy friends. And even TJ, I witnessed how it is hard for him to say "I'm sorry" everytime we have misunderstandings.

Few weeks ago, our relationship was really on the rocks. I had sleepless nights and puffy eyes for how many days. I felt my Christmas would be gloomy but I guess, our love for each other didn't let our relationship end just like that. I apologized for my mistakes when we talked over the phone. He didn't. But to my surprise, he texted me and said sorry. Maybe he realized that he also had failures in our relationship. Well, past is past. We're starting anew now after we celebrated our very first anniversary yesterday in Subic with his family.

I gave him a scrapbook  with twelve pics representing each month that we were together. I am happy that he liked it. Actually, I was sad the whole day because he didn't greet me as soon as he and his family picked me up at our house. I hated him for begging him to greet me. (I know, pathetic much.) And the only response that I got from him was a smile and a very sweet hug. Well, TJ is a guy full of surprises. He greeted me when they brought me home. It's part of his plan. Although it wasn't the way he planned it because my father showed up. Haha! At least, he made an effort.

I am happy. I am really happy and I know you can feel the kiligness in me while reading this entry. I thank God for giving me a not-so perfect but a very, very wonderful guy. I hope that we'll grow old together just like the sweet old couple I met in the church.



Again, happy anniversary to my one and only love. :)
