I had an especially wonderful time with my Oli these past 2 day...this means a lot since our relationship has been on the rocks lately. Well, so far I've been able to think unselfishly and of course it has done wonders to our relationship...duh! That's really my biggest problem, not only with Oli, but with friends, family, other people in general. I grew up so used to always getting my way that now INFINITY and GRACE are merely terms in my philosophy class that I study to pass...
I remember reflecting once and getting sad because although I've been learning so much from my theology and philosophy classes, I could never really apply what I've learned to my life. It's not that I can't but I just won't. You can say that it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but then as long as you're alive, there is hope! Spiro, spero.
4th Year Anniversary
Yesterday, March 21, 2003, was our 4th year anniversary together. Most people are amazed when they hear that we've been together for so long; one of our friends even said that we've been together longer than some married couples have. But what really touched my heart and I am sure, Oli's heart too, was what his barkada/friends told me...
We were at JV's birthday party Friday night (comment: it was super fun, great food and people were throwing each other in the pool) and when Oli's friends heard that it was our anniversary too, they started congratulating us--as in shaking our hands and saying congrats!. One shook my hand and said that I wouldn't be able to find a man as good as Oli. Amen to that. Four years takes much much more than sweet stuff and romance. It takes a tremendous amount of understanding, patience, sacrifice but most of all, love. Not just love, but GENUINE LOVE.
This I believe is the most important--genuine love and this with all my heart, I believe that Oli feels for m--for I have not known, felt and truly believed that someone could love me like he does. Yes, he has his flaws as we all do, but what he gives and shows to me far far outweighs his shortcomings. Just thinking of how much he loves me moves me to tears.
Five Thousand Pesos!
Do you know that we spent around P5000 last Friday! Yes, we couldn't believe it either but our nearly empty wallets don't lie! Let me recount what happened…So it was our very special day and we decided to spend it at Greenbelt 3 with the nice fountains and ambiance.
