I should say, I had the best weekend ever! It was well-spent with the one I love and I know we’d definitely do it all over again. It started Thursday, the day of our 1st anniversary and we both decided we go to Enchanted Kingdom. Both of us are not first timers but I would say it’s like my first time still since before, I wasn’t able to ride the extreme ones. Thankfully, Paul isn’t a scaredy-cat and is game on riding thrilling rides. He made sure that our experience would be memorable for me so even if he’s had bad and traumatic experiences before (his retainers went off), without hesitation, he gave in to my request. My boyfriend is also very much of a stage boyfriend. Well, he pretty much loves taking pictures of me everywhere! Everywhere I tell you. It’s me who refuses and he gonna act up like a mother forcing her child to smile for the camera. I love him for all that he is though, including that.
So after we ate, I asked him if we could ride the Wheel of Fate (ferris wheel) so we could get a nice view from the top while relaxing. But actually, I said that so I could give my gift. You guys know me right? I’m the cheesy type. Extremely maybe. I got Paul a scrapbook and a shirt. The scrapbook contains some receipts, tags, stickers, Starbucks sleeves, exerpts from the poems I made for him, and pictures of us for the entire year we’ve been together. I made sure that we took pictures every month so I could post it on the scrapbook and voila! Here you go:
When I was about to give my gift, Mr. Romantic here had an even better idea! He always has better surprise ideas than me. When we were situated on top of the ferris wheel, he asked me to take a picture of him using his camera. I tried my best to get the best shot and while I was adjusting the focus, he handed me over a box wrapped in a very cute design. It was his gift! Of course I did not know he’d give me one! I actually thought I was the only one who has a gift to give but it turned out he’s planned for this as much as I have. I immediately gave him my gift and we both were just uttering “aww…di naman kailangan eh” (you shouldn’t have, it’s not necessary) as we opened our gifts. He was giddy as he reminisced those days while looking at the pictures, he said he didn’t expected such gift. I was stunned as well when I opened the box. Like come on! My boyfriend got me the most beautiful gold watch ever! And…my favorite lipstick! Glad he approves of the color! He’s such a sweetheart! I love his gift so much that I immediately wore it the moment I got it out of its box.
Then again, it’s not the fancy gifts and sweet mementos that matters most. When we’re up there, opening our gifts, kissing and greeting each other, what really touched me is that at that very moment, we were celebrating 12 months of us. 12 months of happiness, 12 months of petty fights, 12 months of being the best of friends, 12 months of being partners in crime, 12 months of joking around and pretending we’re foreigners (hell, do we even look like one? Haha) who can’t speak English well, 12 months of craziness, 12 months of serious talks, 12 months of everything one can ever imagine… 12 months down, forever to go.
Well our day might have ended but it didn’t stop there as I was with my love the entire weekend! We watched Catching Fire, played billiards, went to Divisoria, shopped, slept a lot, ate a lot, watched movies with his family, washed and bathed Zooey and Simba and then ate again. Haha! I would definitely say it’s the best week ever! It ended well and even though I still don’t want it to end, I definitely know we will be doing it all over again. When I was about to go home, his mom stopped me to give me a little gift that they got for me, it’s a very precious Mama Mary figurine that’s blessed in Antipolo. It’s just the sweetest!
A relationship will really get through anything if God is in between it. Paul has been and will always be my answered prayer and I know that with each passing day, our love will grow all the way.
