Dear Diary,

The date on my title will always be my favorite date aside from my birthday and our anniversary. Everything started on that date. Our love story.

Okay that was cheesy. Hihi :">

I guess that's how a person is when he/she is in love, right? Sooo, back to my story.

Only a few people in my life knows this date. Maybe because we never opened it to anyone aside from our most trusted friends. This date had been like the "trial and error" relationship. I can't remember exactly what happened but all I know is he did something good to make me happy. And in return, I told him that he could ask 1 wish from me and I'll grant it whatever it may be. At that time, I already knew that he liked me. But all I can offer him was friendship. Or so I thought. I tried to push him away from me, but the more I push him away, the more he gave in. He pursued me despite everything I did to him. Hence the "good things".

He can't think of anything to ask so I suggested some, like a gift, a hug or a date. I knew he'd like the last one because he's madly in love with me. Lol But then we modified it. Since I agreed that I would grant anything he asks, he told me he wants me to be his girlfriend. For a day. That caught me off guard. But then I'm the kind of person who sticks to his word and so I agreed. We had planned this "bf/gf for a day date" 2weeks earlier. I wasn't excited about the day or anything. I was just feeling normal. No expectations. No looking forward. Nothing.

And so the day came.

It's still fresh in my memory until now how it all happened. We met at a mall near my place. I was late, as usual. (Told you I was not looking forward to it! :P) I was wearing a red sort of hoodie paired with a leggings. (I am not fond of wearing denim pants >.<) While he wore a yellow checkered collared shirt with a crisp fabric (Yes I am that attentive with details. Haha!) and pants. I liked what he wore that day, compared to our "first date" months before that. He looked mature and young at the same time. He didn't brought a car that day so we took the cab. We both knew what the day was all about but he never made a move on me. He didn't hold my hand, or kiss me on the cheek or whatever normal couples do when they see each other. It was a bit awkward while we were on the cab. We just talked about random things, mostly about school and friends. When we reached our destination, we ate at Mcdonald's first. I just wanted to eat some fries while he ordered a burger. We talked some more and when we're done, we went out to shop for Christmas gifts for our own respective families. I told him that I wanted to go to the bookstore first to check out the planner I had been planning to buy, a Belle De Jour planner. But since my money is set aside for gifts for my family, I didn't buy it. Besides it was still early to buy a planner, I could buy it when January starts. So I just scanned some books in one corner of the bookstore. When we were about to go out of the bookstore, he handed me his purchased item and said, "Merry Christmas!". It was the planner. I was seriously surprised and overwhelmed that time. I was so lost for words because I didn't think he'd buy it.So I just said my most sincere "thank you" to him. :')

That's when I thought of buying something for him too. Since I knew he loves listening to music, I bought him a pair of earphones so that he could replace the one he was using. Because the one I gave is cuter. :P Haha! So we shopped for gifts, strolled around the park near the mall and had dinner at a seafood restaurant. He knew I love crab that's why he brought me there. There's a funny thing that happened in the restaurant. We ordered so many food--crab, shrimps, fish, etc. It was like a feast that night! And when the bill came, we were shocked by the price of the crab. The price of it was measured per gram of the crab. Since we ordered a big and heavy one, just imagine how much it was. And to my surprise, he paid for everything. He didn't let me pay even a single centavo for the bill. I was amazed by that move, to be honest. :)

If you're wondering, what moves did he do that day as my boyfriend? Well, none. We were still like best friends hanging out on a Tuesday afternoon. Nothing unusual happened.

Then we went home. While we were on the cab, he held my hand. He was sincerely saying thank you for the chance. Although he didn't use the privilege. I was moved. :"> I hugged him and he held me until when we reach our house. That's the time I knew I was falling for him.

I never realized his care and respect for me until that day happened. I thought to myself,
"I am so lucky to have this guy in my life. A guy who doesn't stop loving me despite everything I did, my imperfections and my failure to love him back. But now I know even if it is hard to admit it to myself.... I love him."

The day ended. He told me that he was not sure what to feel. Whether to be happy because we were together the whole day, or sad because his chance ended. Then I just kissed him goodnight three consecutive times. And then he left.



Since that day, our relationship never returned the way it was before. We saw each other almost every day that week. We were together on Christmas Eve! :D We held hands, kissed every time we see each other and acted like real boyfriend and girlfriend, although I still didn't reply "I love you too" each time he says I love you. I just want to show my love for him thru my actions, instead of telling him that I love him. That kind of relationship lasted for 2weeks until I made it official on January 3, 2010. A week before my 18th birthday party.

On those days, I was always happy. Euphoric, actually. =D

Aaahhh, reminiscing good memories makes me nostalgic. How I wish I could repeat those things over and over again. But now, I am still very happy that I am with the one person I want and grow old with, ze boyfriend.

There you go! One personal story from meee :>That was a horribly long one. Haha! And for today's story, there is one thing that happened earlier, ze boyfriend lost my iPod touch. But since it's our 3rd anniversary, I could not be mad at him. I was just like this the whole time we were together --> And I could not stay mad at him, he kept me laughing all morning. =))

It was definitely a GOOD MORNING.<3




Praying and wishing for more years together,
Secret Diary Keeper
