A trip to Intramuros

 

Spending a day with someone on a beautiful place is such a wonderful thing. All of us want that kind of feeling, having a walk in a park with your beloved one, holding hands while saying sweet things to each other. Well I had this very, very beautiful experience with a woman that I know I will spent my whole life with. And it is so memorable, and I got to know her more that day.

It is August, and it is raining all week long. The news is saying that there is no storm, but the rain is so strong and pouring heavily everyday that you’ll think that there is one.

I and my beloved have a plan to spend a day on a historical place in Manila. At first we are hesitating making this trip because of the heavy raining, but we want this so much we still went, ride the bus to get there. We had this relationship just 3 months ago. We are still on a fresh relationship, and we are still getting to know each other. So in the bus I got to know that she is very active and funny. She doesn't want to get bored so she does things to prevent that. And I, I just realized that I loved her more because of that attitude of her.

On our way to Intramuros

On the bus we took pictures, well it’s a public bus so who would have thought that we will have great photos there. I know she is beautiful, but I never thought that she is still more beautiful that I was mesmerized. I got to know her more just during that trip, on the bus, she wants to have fun all the time, and she always does the cutest things. Some would see it childish or so, but to me it is just funny it makes me want to spend more time with her if possible all the time. That moment I felt I was a very lucky man. That feeling I wouldn't forget.

Take a rest!

Pictures of our past presidents are in line here except that handsome man :D 

Snapshot!

      

So we arrived at this historical place in Manila. It is my first time there and to me this is a great place to be. It is an old place, can be a romantic place especially to the both of us, and fortunately the rain is just mild that it makes the place glittering. As usual we took pictures, and it is fun. That was the first time for me to have fun taking pictures. So happy that I don’t regret going there even it is raining.

I'm paying for our entrance fee when she took a picture

Here are the tickets!

We walked throughout the place and had fun getting lost. And then we went to a park located at the end of that place. It is former fort back in time and it is very beautiful. The place is well maintained, and it is very clean. We had a great time there; the rain didn't even make it worst or something. The first time I saw a cannon “haha” it was great. We saw a picnic area and a gazebo. We stayed there for a while. Then we went in the museum inside the park, a museum of our national hero. It was very historical and would be very educational, but to me I was just focusing on my woman how I saw her very astonishing on a dim place. As I took photos of her inside the museum near the artifacts placed on glass in dim lighting, I was smiling and thinking “wow” just wow. So this museum has a second floor, on the stairway there was paintings, and on the second floor there was writing on the floor itself writings of our national hero. After that we exited the place, and it was raining very, very hard, but still we went on and explore what is left to explore there. To take cover we went back on the gazebo somewhere in the picnic area. And it was raining very hard that time. And also the wind strong it gave me the chance to hug her tight and it was lovely. It is heartfelt, warm, and pleasant that I don’t want to let go of her.

We have fun taking pictures on this.

She's making fun of me!

Amazing!

After the rain diminished we walked back, took so awesome pictures and then went home.

It really was very rewarding, it is a very nice moment thanks to my beloved leafy ^_^ the place was great but she made the experience more special. 

One thing I have realized, being with the one you loved will make the day special, astonishing, and pleasurable. That day, the cold rain and strong wind didn't even made our day gloomy instead it made the day, the every moment we have been together that day a special, lovable, and ravishing experience that I would not ever forget.

My better half

No one can predict when our true love will come, that’s why many people are searching for it and sacrifice everything only to found out they have chosen the wrong one.

I've been in many kind of relationships, official or unofficial. I've been cheated and experienced different emotions about what we call love and mentioned some of it on my other posts. I've decided to stop searching and focus on my studies since it was my last year on college until one man came. He’s not a totally stranger because we have mutual friends. What I love about the situation is that he came on the time that I stopped searching. At first, I know I like him but not sure about what he really feels about me. Until one day, I heard from a friend of mine that half of what he said to me was not true. I felt sad and so much down, I got angry but I can’t stop communicating with him.

One April night, we went to the place that was now a memorable one for us although it’s not as beautiful as you may think. He confessed to me his feelings and I know he was sincere, it’s a different kind of feeling I can’t express. I've been in different kind of situations about love and I know this was different that’s why I give it a try.

Our start is not easy, we almost give up. Too many high walls between us, religion, friends, situations, etc. We are in a different religion and we both know that if we want to continue our relationship until the end, one must sacrifice. Our mutual friends have different opinions about us, I know that what others might say doesn't matter as long as we know what we really feels but I’m an extrovert person, it really matters for me. Another is a gap of 4 years; well it’s not a big issue.

First holiday of May, we went to another place that was memorable for us. That was the first time I kissed him on his cheeks and I love his reaction. We decided to be friends at first and know each other more before any decisions should be made. In the middle of May, we visited a park, I know it’s a date and that was the time he asked me a question I know you already guessed. Maybe the time was short, but we both know that it was real. Somewhere back to my past, I believed that short courtships lead to short relationships. But that time, I don’t know why I entered that kind of relationship; maybe I guess it’s because of love. When you advice love to other people, it’s easy but when you are the one who is in love, I bet all those advises will be a shit and the feeling that you felt that time was the one who will decide for you.

It’s been 7 months since that special day. Yes, only 7 months of forever. I didn't regret anything in the past, I want to thank them. Because of them I’m now on the right man, my better half. They say that when you meet every day one will be weary, but I’m proud to say that every day we are both excited to meet each other and we always meet every time possible. We always talk and we always think of each other. I say its true love.

We both changed for a better us. We have plans for the future and starting to build goals to attain that dream. The high walls that once between us were now a bridge and I like the way it was built. We are not a perfect relationship, nobody does but I love the way how we treat each other through ups and downs.We are like an ordinary couple, celebrate special occasions, exchanging sweet words, holding each other tightly, proud of each other, going out with friends and family, got angry with each other, etc. But there’s something I know that was different… We both love each other even though we always argue about simple things. We don’t care how bad our temper was, we won’t leave each other and that’s final.

The one that got away

I once said...  

"She is beautiful, nice and I know she will take care of him...."

Now it's proven :)

There's a man I describe on my past posts about a love that never started and never ended. It's just like a feeling of getting closer with each other until the time runs up and both of you didn't have time to talk about deep feelings and never had a chance to end it.

Like what the statement above says, I once told my friend that when I saw his girlfriend, I feel that she was a great person and surely will love him more than I can do. Now as I wrote this on my blog, that girl prove me that she really deserves him. I once regretted that man, but now I am happy for them. Thus, I also have a relationship that was a very happy one.

Now, I just smile whenever I saw them. He was still like before, smiling at me like a very close friend. But we both need to accept things that our choice decides through the help of what you call destiny.

He will always be my ONE TRUE PUPPY LOVE. Never started and never ended, we just feel it coming but didn't reach the destination for both of us.

Tree of Love

Like a tree standing alone
   without leaves is almost lifeless.
But with you by my side
   is like a tree full of leaves.

Each leaf is about happiness, joy,
   thrills and some of them are sorrows.

All of them are experiences,
Many will fall but new leaves
   will grow to replace fallen ones.

Hoping someday
   when we are strong enough,
We will bear fruits together.

This was the poem that he gave me in the middle of July. A tree represents our relationship. Leaves are our experiences in life. Without leaves it's nothing. Some leaves may fall but that tree will surely replace it. The last paragraph tells that when we are already old enough to face another chapter of our lives together in front of God, fruits which represents our future children/s will soon be made. :D

love is undefined

love is undefined for it has too many definitions. Its meaning was based on the situation. But it has common feelings.. Love is when you're falling in love with that same person everyday without asking yourself why and giving so much reasons. Reasons for loving someone comes when you value that attitude/character more than that specific person. why? Simply because, what if that person lose that kind of attitude, will you still love him, or your feelings will changed? Therefore, its okay to love a person for too many reasons just don't forget to love him more than anything else. Love without a doubt.

"Love is a feeling when you feel that you are going to feel a feeling that you've never felt before."

greatest mistake I've done is the one I don't regret

The greatest mistake I've done is the one I don't regret because it's the time I know my feelings are true and things happened like everything's perfect.
Oh YES! It feels like perfect that I'm afraid it will end that soon, and if that day comes........ I'm not prepared...

And its there

Nothing hurts than being disappointed by the one person you thought would never hurt you.
