..MY side of the story..

..BOYS are EVIL.. GIRLS are not..

this was what was taught to me when i was 5years of age..yeah, you could say i lived in a black and white world, but hey-- it kinda helped me understand the nature of the opposite sex. I mean, in every movie i saw back then, the evil guys happened to be.. well, guys. But i never wanted to be a "damsel in distress" so i figured, if I were to have a relationship, I would always be the one coming out on top. Now this, i formulated when i was twelve.. on the eve of my Graduation, the 3rd day my first boyfriend courted me.

Yes, I had a boyfriend -- in the past. He was everything i thought PRINCE CHARMING would be -- smart, hunky and a six pack!! WHOOO!! just being with him made me think of marriage (every girl's dream, might i add) and how much the other girls envied me for being with the cutest Senior nerd... being a Freshman and scoring with a Senior gave you a spot in the "Socialite's Hall of Fame".. HAHA!! However, after eight months of professing my love for him, he left me for someone else (a year after he started courting me). It was then i realized how "unfit" i seemed to be for a relationship -- yeah, i was ugly and nerdy and bitchy and moody.. No guy wanted to be with someone like me.. Hello spinsterhood!!

And then I remembered.. September 12, 2002. out of boredom, i decided to engage myself in some Chatroom action over at the local music channel.. at that time, i went ga-ga over this certain boyband and freaked out at the fact that i met someone who was just like me.. what surprised me all the more was that this new "someone" i met.. was a guy.

Yeah, we exchanged numbers and started texting each other... yeah, we were textmates who happened to have a similar taste in music (back then.. things have evolved right now but it's still okay..).. the one thing i never saw coming was that this guy i was texting back in 2002, would eventually be someone else years later. And as he probably would have said, we went through a lot.. A LOT.. of deep shit just to make that happen.

I called him Shaft.. oftentimes when i got mad at him, i'd call him Amiel.. During our first go, we fought a lot.. but hey, im guessing it was normal for 14 and 15 year olds to clash when they didn't arrive at something called a "compromise". We fought over the lamest things in life and finally ended it in 2004.. or so we thought.

To my surprise, he stuck with me.. he was the type of guy who'd usually tell me "see ya around" after we fight.. but whoa!! staying for 4whole years with the same girl-- being with her for 2 years and courting her AGAIN for another 2 years-- yes, people.. WHOA!!! sheer patience and determination.. and those happen to be the two things i love about my guy.. i admit he isn't nothing like how i envisioned my IDEAL guy to be: he aint chinito and shit, but hey-- he's better than all those chinito guys combined..!! he's smart, he's serious, he's passionate, he's funny, he holds my hand when he knows i need him, and he's just amazing.. he surprises you when you least expect it, and that alone gives me a reason to love him -- i love surprises to the max!!


Yeah.. we're together now.. since July 21, 2006 -- know your digits. And for those who couldn't swallow reality (i know there ARE some of you), embrace it and face it. +I LOVE HIM and HE LOVES ME+ and nothing could ever come between us..
