Let me sleep For when I sleep I dream that you are here You’re mine And all my fears are left behind I float on air The nightingale sings gentle lullabies So let me close my eyes.
And sleep The chance to dream So I can see the face I long to touch To kiss But only dreams can bring me this So let the moon Shine softly on the boy I long to see And maybe when he dreams He’ll dream of me.
I’ll hide beneath the clouds And whisper to the evening stars They tell me love is just a dream away Dream away, dream away, dream away I’ll dream away.
So let the moon Shine softly on the boy I long to see And maybe when he dreams He’ll dream of me.
She was the bane of my existence a couple of weeks ago.
See, the day my boyfriend arrived in Bulacan (February 18) was also the day my cousin's classmates came over for a play rehearsal. There were about 20 of them in total, mostly young girls of about 14 or 15. They were quite a loud bunch but harmless for the most part, or so I thought.
My cousin introduced me and my boyfriend to his friends. And then it was practically pandemonium! The girls went crazy over my boyfriend! They would blatantly scream "And cute mo, kuya!" or "Isang tingin naman diyan, kuya!". I found it cute at first that these girls were going gaga over my man. It made me feel good knowing that the man they're screaming for is head over heels for me. Besides, I wasn't threatened. These were young girls simply crushing on an older guy. My boyfriend's looks must've been a refreshing change from the sluggish and mostly goofy way the boys in their class look. I was actually flattered.
But then this Irish girl just didn't know when to stop. She kept on dropping hints that she was interested. She even had the audacity to ask for his number despite the fact that everyone knew we were a couple! I took it with a smile. Naturally my boyfriend declined, meekly. Ugh! That is one of his worst weaknesses! He just can't seem to say no to people with conviction.
So my boyfriend and I locked ourselves up in the room and watched tv. But just when I thought the hooplah was over, there my cousin was knocking on the door with a piece of paper in his hand. I asked what it was, and lo and behold, it turned out to be that Irish's mobile number! Good God! That was the last straw! I nearly bit my cousin's head off when I told him to tell that pint-sized freak that the guy she's after is ! God! I would've put that silly disillusioned girl in her place myself had I not been worried about what my aunts would say or think about my boyfriend if I made a scene.
I was so angry! Did she really think she had a shot with my boyfriend?! Did she actually think my man will dump me for mousy little her?! Ha! I hate to sound full of myself but that bitch ain't got shit on me! I'm smarter and definitely much hotter!
Geez! It took a couple of hours more after those obnoxious kids left before everything was completely okay between me and my boyfriend. *sigh* I hate people who don't respect boundaries. The next time I see that bitch, and if the next time she still makes a move on my man, she's gonna get what's coming to her! I have never been the type to shy away from confrontations. And I definitely won't think twice in giving her a piece of my mind if need be.
Together forever. That was the promise. And I'll make damn sure everyone understands it!
Ugh! Have you ever felt like you have no time for yourself anymore? No time to take a breather. No time to relax. No time to just slack off and watch a movie or shop or something.
That's exactly how I feel right now.
No matter how hard I try to get things done, my errands just seem to keep piling one on top of the other. I have slideshow presentations to finish, business calls to make, and restaurant leaflets and uniforms to design. I have to yet to get started on packing for the big move to the province.
I seriously need a break, just one day to waste on myself. I need to catch up on my sleep, my gossip, my movies and my blogging. I need a little retail therapy, a little rnr with my bubba, generally just a slow-paced day.
Weekends are no spa day for me either. If anything, I think I'm even busier then. Suddenly I have four dogs to tend to instead of just one. Plus I have a niece that I babysit. Add to that the fact that I travel from the city to the province and then back.
Oh God! My eyes, my head, my entire body hurts like hell! I gotta find someone I can pay to give me a good massage this weekend.
Much too much has happened in the past two weeks. A little much in fact that I'm finding it hard to tell you about everything. But just to give you a rundown of what went on, below is a short list of the highlights.
February 15
Arrived in Bulacan. Immediately took Sapphie (one of four dogs) to the vet to have him neutered.
February 18
My boyfriend also arrived in Bulacan for a short vacation with me and my dog.
February 20
I experienced the best hand job of my life, courtesy of my bubba.
February 21
My boyfriend left for home. :(
February 22
Took Sapphie to the vet yet again as he was throwing up a lot. I swear my vet bills are racking up because of him alone.
February 26
Finally went back home. Seriously wouldn't have done so had it not been for my boyfriend waiting for my return.
February 28
Mustered enough courage to ask my folks if my bubba can work for our soon-to-open restaurant. They said yes.
March 1
Convinced my boyfriend to work for/with us in Bulacan. Also got a yes.
So summing it all up, the last couple of weeks were nothing short of interesting. And now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that my boyfriend and I won't have to be apart once I (now we) move to Bulacan.
Today is my second day in the province. And it has to be said that its mellow pace is a far cry from yesterday's stressful schedule. Crazy does not even begin to describe how exhausting it was. Right off the bat, I up and took one of four dogs to the vet for his castration. It wasn't as bad I thought it would be. Sapphie (the dog) was in his best behavior. He is a pretty big dog and I would've had an awfully difficult time had he been his usual pasaway self. We got back home at 10 am and then I had to attend to the other three dogs while Sapphie rested. I fed them, tidied up their corners, and in the afternoon I bathed two of them. My entire day seemed to revolve around the dogs. But I am not complaining. I love what I do. I am a dog person, a completely big fan of dogs! So I pamper all of them as if there were all mine.
I am definitely on a much slower pace today than yesterday. All I have to do is feed the dogs since I've already done my laundry. This is the reason why I am able to take a bit of alone time (still with my dog/bodyguard ) to check my emails and blog.
But as great as this day is going, I am certainly looking forward to tomorrow. I have finally convinced my boyfriend to take a little vacay with me and our dog here in the province. He is coming here tomorrow to stay for four days and I am simply ecstatic!
Hello, my name is Joy. I am 25 years old. I tend to have my moments of pure awesomeness, but for the most part, I think I'm kinda lame. So lame that it's funny. But you'll love me anyway. Hopefully.
