My birthday's almost over and i am now officially old!
Yesterday i was telling myself that my birthday's just going to be another normal and uneventful day. That i won't make a big fuss over it since my husband went home to Nova with our son and im going to spend the day alone ... trying to have some quality time with myself then join my family later when i've already pampered myself. And i did just that.
I woke up at 9:30 in the morning, (a very late hour of the day for me.) and took everything by stride. I was trying to decide what to wear to Krystel's debut when the phone rang. It was my husband, telling me he's on his way home to pick me up. 2 hours passed and i was trying not to be annoyed with his lateness when he finally made it. i was still in the room concentrating hard on the movie i was watching although i was too aware that he was already there. i tried to make "pakipot" 'coz it was,after all,my birthday. he greeted me with his exuberant "happy birthday" and told me traffic was murder. so he suggested we better get a move on to avoid a more chaotic ride. so i went inside our room to get my bag when ... VOILA! Tulips on the bed plus an extra grin on his face and a more romantic "happy birthday" followed. Haaay! I was too giddy for words.
I guess i better tell you that my husband never gives a girl flowers. the very first time he gave me flowers was on the day that they made "pamanhikan" and nothing followed that 'cept now. he's not really that showy of his emotions, especially when we're around people, that's just the way he is. But when he surprises you with his sweetness he turns it up a notch higher than expected. 'Coz when it's your birthday he completely delivers.
Last year he concocted a party for me and he himself did the cooking! eventhough i didn't want to celebrate my birthday he still did it b'coz he just wanted to. 2 years ago, he treated me and my friends to a comedy bar because he knew i was beginning to feel depressed from not seeing my college buddies.('coz i was 7 mos pregnant at that time.) 3 years ago, when we were only going out, i got so frustrated at my barkada 'coz none of them could come with me to my blow-out. he hugged me and single-handedly organized a gimmick within 30 min. so that we could just celebrate my birthday. (it was fun, we, his parents, cousins and friends had a real blast!)
So you see, eventhough we argue about silly things, and i get worked up of his wisecracks, in the end he's still that man who can make me smile when im at my lowest, make me smile just because, make me smile thinking of the days ahead.
Hmmmmm... i wonder what he's gonna do next year???
