gift of ironies

a lot of my friends would know i tend to be mushy at times...(pagbigyan na ako please? hehe) there was one time when a dear friend from college just uttered "migs is hes' GG (short for Gods' Gift)"..and that, of course made me pause...at that moment, i was fighting to show my affirmation to his statement to show that at times i can control not to be mushy (siyempre hirap na hirap na ako nun!), i knew deep down there was some truth to it...


some? yes, because after being together through the DW (Discovery Weekend), i came to realize he is actually not just God's Gift but a "surprise package of ironies" for me...the days we spent together nurturing our relationship were founded on meaningful laughter and tears --- shared during a short drive from work to QC; shared while watching a feel-good movie; shared with our dear family and friends. we would share a laugh or cry tears together after looking past our separate lives yesterday...while watching a sweet movie (sige na, mas madami ang iniiyak ko...) just like "While You Were Sleeping". remember that nice scene in that Sandra Bullock flick where the whole family of Bill Pullman went over to the train station to join him to propose? my heart just melts when i recall that scene...as just recently, after i felt how it was to be proposed to by the man you love who knelt down on one knee and said "Happy Anniversary...will you marry me?", i did not only share laughs and tears with him, but with our dear families and friends...being asked to recount the heart-melting moment of the proposal just made me cherish it over and over again. it was indeed special that whenever we all hear the music, that's it. everyone is just moved by it. there are laughters and tears...of joy.


i love to laugh (ganyan talaga pag mababaw ang kaligayahan..hehe)...i don't mind the tears (obviously, mababaw lang talaga ako - madaling patawanin at paiyakin)...since i believe they are part of God's Gift to me and part of the memories i will share with my GG...
