One day, my didi and I argued on something just can't recall the specific argument but normally as far as I remember, we usually had this "lover's quarrel" because of his insensitivity and my lack of communication to him. To all the women out there, let's not forget in mind that men are men and not like us, they just don't read minds they need to be told in some ways. So there's my first stuffed toy named "Elqz" was born. Why Elqz? Simple, comes from LQ(Lover's Quarrel)... Upon arriving in Manila he gave me "Seyf" very very cute stuffed toy I liked it too.... Seyf for safe trip, we just strolled in one of the malls here and we find Seyf. Actually, he was in the corner alone and it seems that nobody picks him so we did... Lastly, one night we agreed to meet and had a dinner but before having our dinner I saw something in his hands, a plastic bag with a little fur and since I asked him about it, he opened it up and voila! comes "Special" I named him Special since it was the first time he bought something for me on his own. I super loved those three but "Special" is the best unfortunately, Elqz is the one who's always with me since he is washable and is bigger compared with the other two.
Chocolates! I love eating chocolates too! but if I get to choose between flowers and chocolates? before flowers and now? still flowers! ahahaha. My didi loves chocolates especially dark chocolates but any chocolates will do for him. Everytime he's given by his colleagues or a friend or a relative a present from abroad like chocolates, you'd expect that I also have my part or sometimes if it's good only for one person, he won't eat it right away and will bring it with him when we meet and we eat it together. That's how sweet he is and loving and everything! I'll never trade him with anything!!!...
Then the food trips! I like exploring on food and he too. Unfortunately, we don't have that very good appetite. I was the one who loves ordering different kinds of food and he will end up eating it all alone 'cause either I'm already full or don't like the taste that much. Can't enumerate all the food trips we've done, so lots of food trips almost every week, some are cheap ones some are expensive and we're just making the most of what we have.
But aside from this,he always gives me flowers during our monthsaries and everytime he likes to buy for me even without occasion and his first bouquet? Guess when? on my first birthday since we started dating officially as "in a relationship". Since we worked in the same company, he untiringly picks me up and we went to the office together, our office is a bit far and we had to commute twice going to and fro. There's a mini-flower market on our way to the second "jeepney", it's just near a church in the city, so everyday I smell those different scent of different kinds of flowers and I just liked flowers! I envy those men who bought flowers for their loved ones and finally I was able to let him know how I loved flowers, a piece of it or two is more than enough for me and so since then, he sees to buy some for me every month. This "act" stopped since I had to move to Manila but in less than a month he got a job here too... and one of the most memorable flowers that he's given me is during our 2nd anniversary, bought a big big bouquet and was so happy and feel loved! Before, in Cebu he always tells me that he is shy of buying flowers the more here in Manila,(also just to give you an idea of my didi- he is a practical person and want to spend only on those worth it things) and bouquets here are even more expensive compared in the province, but he managed to buy one and walked quite a distance just to bring those flowers to me, upon seeing him with flowers in his hands, it tears me up with joy and can't say a word, until now, I can still recall the feeling. Soon, months before our 3rd anniversary he has to move to Malaysia for an opportunity,I admit I'm very very sad and wished that I didn't approve this but it's his career opportunity and seeing him fulfilled makes me happy and fulfilled too, so days before he leaves, I invited him for a dinner but he declined :( he told me that he'll just be staying home preparing his stuff and told me to stop by before I'll go to my boarding house and so did I. I was really really surprised seeing rose petals on the floor and there he is smiling at me and voila, I burst to tears and just embraced him sobbing then he told me to open the envelope, the more I cried and requested him to read it to me instead and can see his tears also rolling down on his cheeks while reading his love poem for me. Di, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you and love you too, you may not know it but every act you make and by just telling me that you love me is already a gift for me.
Lastly, his greatest gift ever! Is his TIME spent with me. No matter how mad, OA, stupid I am and the care and the thoughts. As the saying goes "it's the thought that counts". Thank you di, every minute is surely treasured. Hope that we will be together again soon.
And that's why I titled this "gifts". This is the story of my remembered gifts from my didi. Please do apologize me if I missed a thing. :D Thank you and love you always......
