I get quite frustrated when I see couples looking oh-so-happy together. Jealousy or envy, perhaps? Probably. They just make me more bitter that the boyfriend and I are miles apart from each other. I don’t like the distance. I really don’t. I think I’ve even cried more in the last couple of months than I ever have my entire life.
I actually dreaded Valentine’s Day this year. Afraid that I’d end up moping and feeling sad that we can’t be together. But, things turned out pretty well. We spent the first hour of the day talking online, like we do most nights. Then, in the middle of a busy day at work, I was surprised with an express delivery of a dozen red roses. <3
I gotta say that they’re the most beautiful roses that I’ve ever seen. And I’m not saying that because it came from JR, but really, they’re perfect! I have them sitting on the table next to my bed, and even if it’s been almost a week, they still look fresh. :)
After work, I hurried home and we spent the night keeping each other company online, the way we would’ve spent the time if we were physically together on a date - fooling around. =P
So, in the end, spending Valentine’s Day apart wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Sometimes I really should be more optimistic than I claim to be. =P
Thank you for the wonderful day, my bebe! Even if the situation has been hard for both of us, you really make a way to make me happy. I LOVE YOU! :-*

My brother celebrated his 25th Birthday at Fez, Serenda Saturday night. It was one helluva party filled with overflowing booze (open bar!!!), yummy food, 90’s music, mad dancing, and lots and lots of people.
We turned the place into one big (well, small actually) dance floor. The DJ played 90’s music that made our feet and body go wild. Think Spice Girls, Janet Jackson and Macarena! Hahaha! Dancing the night away was good. It helped wash down our alcohol intoxication. Too much lychee martini, apple martini, beer and flying tigers for everyone.
Here’s a bunch of us dancing away.

I just realized that I’ve only been blogging on a once a week (well, more like on a once in two weeks) basis. At the moment, my life has been pretty much routinary. That’s why I only blog when something comes up… or when I snap out of my “I’m too lazy to blog” phases.
I’m here blogging, which means that I do have something to share. The highlights of my week, that is.
February 13, 2007:
Pre-valentines day date with JR.
His one-week trip to Singapore made us miss each other too much, that we opted to start our Valentines a day early. It was just a simple date around Glorietta, where we always are. We had dinner at Mexicali, followed by dessert at our favorite Starbucks (Glorietta 3 - the one inside Make Room).
Long conversations are something that I enjoy a lot when being with him. That, and our endless camwhoring! =P

2006 passed quicker than I had imagined, and just as I had predicted, the whole year was definitely full of wonderful memories.
- Early on in 2006, I finally got my driver’s license. I had been putting it off for years, and pushing myself to take classes was indeed one of the best things I did. I enjoy taking public transportation (learning how to commute when we moved back here was something I was really proud of), but I also enjoy having the comfort of driving myself anywhere I please.
- 2006 also gave way to numerous reunions with old friends from Brunei, including this one. Of course, more pictures can be viewed in my Multiply account.
- Graduating was my biggest achievement of the year. Walking up on stage made me feel so good, especially since I had a medal pinned on my toga for an honorable mention. :)
- As a graduation gift, my parents bought me my MacBook, which actually still keeps me up all night. I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it! XP
- Our Singapore Trip was probably the highlight of 2006. Ten days spent with JR, sight-seeing, shopping and meeting up with my dear friends. It was one big adventure that definitely tops all the adventures that we’ve had as a couple. <3
- Family occasions are something that I love, and my parents’ 25th Wedding Anniversary was a family effort that we all enjoyed. Despite the obstacles that popped up along the way, we still managed to push things through beautifully. :)
- 2006 was also full of love, and celebrating our 3rd year together was fun. Probably the best anniversary spent together. <3
Greeting the New Year was extra special, because JR spent it with my family and I. He came over early in the morning of December 31st and tagged along as I did my errands the whole day: shopping for bathroom fixtures with my mom and dad, doing the groceries, mass at 7pm, and then making tacos and onion rings for dinner. By midnight, we were out on the street watching pretty fireworks. We don’t buy fireworks/crackers, so our New Years are always spent watching our neighbors light theirs.
We watched….

This December, just like every year, was a very busy month for me. I love the Christmas Season, because it’s always a perfect excuse to make new “projects” and go around to run some errands.
Because I find it easier, I will make a semi-detailed sharing about my December (so far) in bullet form.
- I love buying things for people. I enjoy surprising my family and friends with out-of-the-blue gifts. But Christmas is definitely the time of the year when people around me actually expect to receive something… because I’m always more eager to give! =P
- I shopped for gifts pretty early this year. I was even done with most of my list before the first week of the month ended. I happily wrapped each of my presents… something that I really enjoy. And even volunteered to wrap my mom, dad, JR and my brother’s gifts! =P

Who would’ve thought that a simple bet made between two platonic friends, would actually be the spark plug to a wonderful romantic relationship? Or the simple fact that the internet and the world of blogging could actually bring two people together?
I would’ve never thought it possible, but amazingly on October 16, 2003, it happened to us.
A number of those who still read my blog are actual witnesses to our love affair. From the time that we were just friends, to the times we started hanging out, and eventually to the day we officially got together. They’ve read about our happy moments together, and have given advices and support during our tough times too.
Last Monday marked the third year of our relationship, and I guess I owe those people - our friends, a post about how we celebrated our special day.

Anna. 25.
