"You should forget HPM."

Huuuwaaattt??? Forget him? Oh my! Is that possible? It's hard because we are friends.

That's the very root of these all: we're JUST friends. And maybe we will not be in a more intimate relationship anymore. Too bad.

Maybe I have to set and implement my standards now and disregard exceptions. I have to start cleaning up the mess in my life and clear things that are left unclear and hanging. Just give me time.

-_-_-_-_-_-

Bakit lahat na lang ng tao ganun ang iniisip tungkol sa amin? Namimisinterpret lang ba nila kami o sadyang parang "kami" at hindi kami aware na ganun na pala?

Fantastic 4
Mood:  happy
Topic: Movies
HPM and I had a date again, just in SM Manila to have dinner together and watch a movie, Fantastic 4.

We met at Mcdo-Mendiola since he was absent from the office and he didn't want his officemates to see him roaming around the area.

First, we had our dinner at Goldilocks (low budget - hehehe!). Sinigang na Bangus ang Fish Steak were superb! "Diet ka pa ba?" he asked. Well, if it's him who's with me, I couldn't help but eat more. He's actually my perfect eating buddy.

Then, when we're done, we headed to the movie house, Cinema 2. The film has just started. We're both deeply absorbed by the movie we haven't had the time to talk and cuddle. Sigh. But it's ok, we're really not sweet in public. Do I have to explain? It is simply because of one reason: we're just friends.

Fantastic 4 is a too short it finished before 8pm when it only began past 6:30pm. It's not that technically amazing but it's a nice film. A so-so film, I may say.

Going home, HPM went with me to the bus terminal, bid farewell and kissed goodbye. Goodbye!

WRITER'S NOTE: He's going to Laguna later today, Friday, to attend his office's 2-day team building seminar. I will miss him.

My Very First Entry
Mood:  happy
If I Ain't Got You

We were both strangers to each other. I had a boyfriend and I know, though he hasn’t admitted yet, he also had a special girl at that time. He used to do unusual and funny things that made me notice him whenever we crossed paths; there he slid intentionally on the floor, made face like a clown in front of me, smiled at me up to the very tip of his ears, watched my volleyball game (of course, I’m just assuming that he was there to watch me play), walked with me along the hallway while telling nonsense stories and funny jokes, and the list goes on…

We started dating in January 2005. My then boyfriend and I were in a cold war, no one dared to admit who was wrong. I tried to apologize but my ex wouldn’t want to listen. He ignored me for months, hanging me down the middle of nowhere.

Thanks to HPM for being there for me during the time I should be weakest. He tried to make me happy by filling in the absence of a boyfriend who I loved so well (Well, past is past) but wasn’t there.

HPM and I started dating in the same month, January. I still remember the first movie we saw, it was Elektra. And yes, I could say that in just a snap of our fingers, we clicked. There was a spark! Later soon, we’re dating in a regular basis. Until now.

My most favorite part of our “date” is when he walks me to the bus/jeepney terminal after movie-watching, malling or food tripping. The talks and conversations arouse me, not in a sexual way but in the intellectual aspect. He’s such a sensible person; a man of wisdom per se.

That’s not all. My most favorite part in my most favorite part (hahaha!) is when we say “goodbye” and “take care” before we part, he looks me in the eye, and kisses me on my cheek – partly touching the endpoint of my lips. Can you imagine how romantic it is?

Well, I’ll live it to your wildest imagination, guys. For now, let me end this very first article about our special friendship story by wishing you a nice and happy day, and stay in love always!
