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. :)
My name is Xyla, a 24-year-old Filipina unemployed registered nurse. I am a freelance writer for a nursing magazine of a review center. I aim to be a nurse leader in the future. With only 12 units left in my Master's Degree (Major in Medical-Surgical Nursing), I am ready to teach nursing students. During my past time, I kill Zombies, plant Cherry Bombs, Marigold and Melon Pult and make cheesy stuff for my boyfriend. I firmly justify that I am not too old for Glee-addiction. I hate prepositions. They make my life complicated.
Aww… That’s sweet! :) more years to come for the both of you, ate xy! :)

Naks naman! Ang sweet naman nun. Pero in fairness talaga may nagsabi sa akin na madaming plans na surprises ang mga guys pero ang nagsisira lang ng plans ay ang mga babae na makukulit. Isa ako sa makulit sa amin ni Toper kaya laging sira ang plano niya. Hahahahaha.
I’m so happy for you, bru!!! At alam mo yan.
More years to come to you and to your not-so-perfect but wonderful, very wonderful guy!

Thanks bru! =)

Aww yeah, that IS really sweet. I wish I was less of a guy when it comes to expressing my feelings. It’s really hard for me to say sorry, I love you and all those things. I can write them but you’ll rarely ever hear them come out of my mouth.
Anyway, happy anniversary to both of you! I’m glad everything turned out well :)

Agree ako dito:
“I don’t know but for some reasons, guys find it hard to apologize for their mistakes.”
Haha. May times talaga na ganyan ang nangyayari. Nakarelate ako ah. Haha. Pero may times din naman na kapag alam niyang mali siya, talagang siya ang nagsosorry. =)
I’m so happy for you girl! Good luck sa inyong dalawa ni TJ. Stay in love and take good care of your relationship. :) Loveyah!
