THE SIMPLE THINGS JUST ARE


Now that you are there and I am here...

I'm having instant coffee instead because you're not here to brew me a pot and brewing coffee for one just doesn't cut it... besides, finding a pot of freshly brewed coffee makes me feel almost like a queen whenever I don't have to brew it myself...

it feels like I'm in limbo and so the time I sleep and the time I wake up are often up for grabs, and my daily routine has gone out of whack...

once or twice, I've thought about opening a bottle of red, or a bottle of white, all the time battling with myself between prudence and flippancy, all the time letting prudence win so no worries there...

all the leftovers in the fridge are gone...

a letter-envelope's corner is sticking out of the mailbox...

the kitchen trash bin is taking too long to fill up...

the lady in Carl's Jr. is not impressed that I am now taking out taco salad just for one...

AT&T is getting impressed with our phone bill...

our neighbor has been happy cause I haven't had to do the laundry and she's been spared the drone from our ancient dryer for 5 days and counting...

I've been thinking of you every second.

Oh, pardon me. I forgot.

That one hasn't changed.

thanks Tintin. hay ewan ko ba, 17 years na kaming ganito, hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako masanay-sanay. I guess it's one of those things there's just no getting used to. sigh...

hay, i really, really love the way you write. kahit kailan you have a way of putting things into words that each entry always differs from the other. kaka-inlove ka talaga magsulat, ateng :)

alam ko ang feeling mo, ateng, kapag wala si fafa. ako man, iba ang pakiramdam ng mga gabing nasa trabaho si jun. mas secured ako kapag kasama ko sya.

thank you sa inyo ni fafa sa CD!! I received it today and pinapakinggan ko sya ngayon. :) sino ang singer nito? nasa first song pa lang kasi ako. pero first song pa lang gusto ko na sya. ilalagay ko sya sa mp3 player ko :) thank you so much...

thank you Ateng. mabuti na nga lang at naimbento ang blogging, at least may outlet tayo sa pangungulila di ba? hehehe...

Ateng, yang CD na yan yung tag ko sayo. Ang playlist andun sa post na On Books and Music. Pero wag mag-worry, email ko sayo ang playlist. Mwah!

naku Jennipeng, hindi lang ikaw ang umaasa na makabisita ako, ako din! ako din! (ok ba sa emphasis? hehehe) dangan kasi ang mahal ng pamasahe sa eroplano dyan. :(

He promised us that you will be with him the next time he comes home. We miss you, too.

Don't worry, he'll be home soon.

I hope so Tito Rolly. I just wish the next time I'm home, it won't be because of some emergency in the family. Gusto ko naman sana bakasyon lang talaga.

Well, thanks to the berks for keeping us both company while apart. :D

I like how you wrote about the changes in your daily routine as a result of Jay's absence. I feel the same way too during those moments when I'm back to being alone after spending time with my love.

Btw, I found a good calling plan so as not to impress the folks at AT&T too much. :) Take care, Jet.

thanks c. uhmmm... knowing what I know now ;P, yes, I think you might need that calling plan badly.

kamusta na lang kay love m... err... love mo :D

"It's in the simplest existence,in the humblest company and in the emptiest moments that I learned to appreciate what I had... and find happiness right where I was. I didn't have to reach far and dream big. One can only be as big as one sees oneself. The world will always be bigger still... and God, even more."
