It was only last week that we buried our beloved mother, Cory Aquino. She was considered the mother of the free Filipino people who restored democracy. It was a dark and stormy day when they announced her death on August 1.
Her burial was a special non-working holiday in the country. That day, I went to Joey's house. As soon as I went inside, rain pummeled the streets. I was thankful I didn't have an umbrella with me. I said hi to his parents before we went off to RVM in N. Domingo St to visit Lola Sinta.
We were more than surprised when she asked us about our relationship. That happiness should not be the only thing that would sustain our relationship. It immediately felt like an orals exam with our theo/philo teacher.
I told her that I never thought life would be so much happier with Joey around (naksss). I've always felt that I want to be better and be a better person. And of course, I'm very much in love with him and I feel that even if that phase is gone, my genuine love is still there.
The love and care he gives me is so much more than what I ask for. He has taken good care of me and has never done anything that would hurt me. I love him for that. =)
We had lunch with Lola Sinta at QC Sports Club. We were watching TV, which was showing Cory's casket being circled around Intramuros. Hundreds and thousands of Filipinos braved the weather just to be with her. They were all wearing yellow and was waving the "laban" sign she was very famous for.
After lunch, we dropper her off in the convent before we headed to Starbucks to study for GRE. Our GRE is scheduled on November and we're reviewing as early as now, especially the math part. I've gotten horrible at math. I'm glad Joey's there to help me out. He's so much smarter than me in math and he knows all the shortcuts to solving problems... hehehe.
Today he's in Laguna for his project's cutover. Yesterday, we had brunch in Bonifacio High Street and watched brainless zombie movies (Dawn of the Dead). He's not much of a horror flick fan but I liked the plotless killing and splatter of human and zombie flesh.
We went around the place, browsing through books and enjoying the good weather for once before he would check in at Linden Suites.
Sometimes, the time you had with a loved one isn't enough. The words you say to that person could not really capture the feelings gushing in you. But I guess that's what makes a relationship special. It will take the rest of your lives to understand the incomparable, incomprehensible love you share and the unimaginable, overwhelming desire to be one with that person.
Yes, I'm in love. =)
