206. Is it just me? How the years are flying by without me even blinking. Nine years of you and me. Should I feel anxious and afraid that our happy ever after cannot be? I don't know. The only thing I know is that when I saw you today, on this absolutely special day, I felt truly happy and alive. There were lights in my eyes and the smile on my face was genuine and my heartbeats were faster. I was still in love.
Happy anniversary.
This year we planned a cohabitation anniversary: literally living together overnight at your place, pretending to be man and wife-- or what it could be. Or maybe just our honeymoon night, come to think about it.You came to pick me up at home, to the ruse of going to Mambukal with friends, then we went to SM to take our annual couple pictorial with the theme: nurses in love. Our pictures were adorable and the we hanged the framed picture at your place. We bought some alcohol, some maki and sushi and some of our favorite brownies for dessert. We set up the table at your place, a one-bedroom and bathroom, and you opened the present I gave you which was a foldable desk, which you loved. And you got me a pink pulse oximeter that I found very handy at work. Amidst the glow of the electric candle that I brought, and the delicious food, we toasted our love and togetherness. We talked like old friends and made love like pros. It couldn't get more perfect. We made love six times, which was a new record for us and made a lot of firsts. First time we made love while I wore a robe(a red silk dragon robe), which reminded you of a geisha. And first time that I woke you up at 4am and just basically tackled you again on the bed. I think I ended up surprising you more than I surprised myself at my boldness. I think you created a monster. And you enjoyed every minute of it. Did you know I almost cried when you told me that you did not ever regret choosing me? There I was, trying to maintain my pace and you were trying to make me cry. Sleeping together with you continues to be one of the best and most relaxing times of my life as well. The next day, we went to Balaring(a seaside community), and ate at Edgewater restaurant were we had the best ever gambas and squid. Then we went to Mambukal(so that our consciences were clear, and to have more photos). While we were there it rained pretty hard, just like our anniversary 5 years ago. Wasn't that memory so funny? We went to the butterfly sanctuary drenched in rainwater, changed and had hot chocolate while it rained. We took a bunch of pictures with the wet butterflies and bought a gigantic langka(jackfruit) for my family to enjoy. By the end of the day, we were pretty exhausted. After depositing my things at my house, we went out to have dinner at Shawarma Habibi and Qualitea at Lacson St., another new restaurant at Lacson St., and discovered the best shawarma in town. All in all, a very very perfect successful two-day one-night cohabitation anniversary. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I love you. My heart (and my stomach) was so full. Can't wait for next year.
