I Love Our Alone Time, Together

Yesterday, I went home to an empty house. And the first thing that came to mind was "Yaaay for alone time." I just finished my final exams for my summer class and in a few weeks time I will be starting my (hopefully) last semester in law school. Honestly, I don't know how to feel about it. I'm happy, excited, nervous and overwhelmed all at the same time. Okay back to my point, I immediately thought about the things that I will do. Clean the house, do the laundry, organize my closet, sleep, and blog. That was the plan. But instead this happened.

Believe it or not, B and I were on it for 7 hours. LOL. We actually used to talk on the phone a lot when we still lived an hour away from each other. It just seemed we haven't talked in ages. But I'm not complaining, instead I was like this the whole time.

We talked about everything from the most important to those non- sense things. A lot of thoughts have been going on in my mind lately, it's like a party scene inside my head and I felt relieved and happy after talking to him. He always knows the right things to say and do. #LuckyMe. When he told me he'll be back soon, my immediate reaction was when when when? I think this was me then.

I can't wait for him to come home, just a few more days and he'll be back. I swear this is how excited I am. ;)

So, I guess I'll have to do all the things I had planned on doing yesterday today instead. It will be one busy Sunday for me. Happy Weekend lovelies!

A Perfect Quiet Weekend

Sometimes all you need is some quiet "alone" time at home, good food, a bunch of good movies, and a whole lot of hugs for your weekend to be perfect. I know I do. ;) Yes, that's my perfect weekend. And I am just so lucky to be spending it with a guy who thinks the same. His friend called him and wanted to grab some drinks with him but he passed up on it and decided we go to the grocery instead to see what we can have for dinner. Oh sweetie that made me real happy. :)

So, over the weekend, B and I detained ourselves inside the house because we'd rather spend the time cooking dinner, making nachos (and eating it while watching movies), washing the dishes, doing the laundry and ironing clothes. Haha yes, it may sound silly but I guess we're just silly that way. That's us and I love how we are. ;)

And guess who's doing the cooking now? Yup, that's right, I can now say I'm domesticated. I think I'm beginning to LOVE that word, I just love saying it, domesticated. LOL. I don't know how B tricked seduced got me into it but I suddenly found myself in the kitchen actually cooking, I guess he really has his ways.

 

And I think two menus in one week isn't bad for a starter right? Thank God for the internet, learning becomes so easy these days. Haha. Both of these were his specific requests, that one on the left is Chicken Afritada and the other one is Bulalo (Beef Shank Soup). I'd say not bad for a first- timer. I'm proud of myself. ;)

And what I LOVE about weekends like these is waking up to a peaceful, sunny Sunday morning with a perfect view and an awesome guy beside me. Our conversation Sunday morning went like this:

Me: B, wake up it's 9am already. Do you want breakfast?

Him: Waaaah, Sunday na agad di pa ko nakakatulog! (Translation: It's Sunday already, I haven't even slept yet!)

Yeah, those are the kind of talks we have. And we ended up having breakfast at 10 after I threatened to drag him out of bed. LOL. And the rest of our weekend was peaceful. He is into Adam Sandler movies nowadays so we watched a bunch of them.

A perfect weekend deserves a perfect song. And I am just inlove with this song right now. I think it's my new favorite song. Hoping everyone had a nice weekend as well. ;)

It's Over

My guardian angel, in my pocket today.

It's finally over, our midterm examinations that is. And I couldn't be more relieved. I can finally get back to my normal life now and that includes blogging. And so while B is out having drinks with the boys tonight, I figured I owe you guys an update. Being away for a while made me realize how much I miss my blog and blogging. I fought the urge to open my laptop and blog over the past couple of days because I really have no choice. LOL. While away from here, this is what I have been up to.

How can you resist this?? Tell me, how?

And then again there's nachos! :)

So, there. All these time I've been away, I have been trying to be a diligent student. Haha. Oh, probably you'll notice (or not) that this isn't the first time that these nachos and salsa are appearing on this blog. And probably this will not be the last as well. Who knows maybe next time I'll do a post on this recipe. ;)

Bittersweet Weekend

Last weekend was supposed to be fun because it marks the start of our Christmas break, meaning no school to worry for the next three weeks or so. The normal reaction  should be "Wooot!! School's out, time to party!!" right? NOT. I said that would be the normal reaction. But if you're a little less normal like me, your reaction would be, "Oh no, three weeks of wondering what to do, where to go, of debating whether to catch up on my backlog readings or not (though I know I should), and of course, three weeks miles apart from my awesome guy.

Okay so the weekend.

I swear this was me last Friday!

And this too. LOL

Friday was our school Christmas party. But guess what? We decided not to go. Who on their sane minds would miss an event like that? I'd say B and I. Yes we're just weird like that. :) So I just stayed at home, spent some time with my Dad watching basketball and edited my blog. Notice the changes? Hope you liked it.;)

Saturday, I was about to go shopping with Mommy but had to cancel the last minute. Last minute, like we were already inside the car and I had to get down. LOL. It's cause I suddenly realized that it is B's last weekend here in Manila before he goes home to the province to spend the holidays with his family. So yeah, I begged off the shopping trip and decided to just spend the day with him. And I know I made the right choice. ;)

December 2010

It was also the start of the traditional Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo, a nine- day novena mass usually held at dawn. It is believed that once you complete the 9- day mass, whatever you wished for will be granted. ;) I decided to attend the anticipated mass Saturday evening because I am not really a fan of waking up so early in the morning, much more at dawn.

How we spent Sunday.

Sunday was B's last day. *sniff* Just thinking about it makes me really sad. I woke him up in the morning, but he refused to get up. And because it's Sunday, I gave in. Haha. So Sunday was basically just a stay- in- bed day. Thank God for NBA TV. :)

And before we knew it, it was already afternoon and we have to move because both of us we're starving. We walked, like we always do, to where ever we decided to eat, bought our daily fix of buko juice, went home to clean the house and started to pack his things. After I made sure he's okay, I had to ask him if I could leave the house first before his friend arrives to pick him up. *sob* I just cannot stand the sight of him leaving, that's why. I can still remember how much of a cry baby I was last summer when it was time for us to leave his place. My friends can attest to that. ;) About an hour after I got home, he texted me that they are about to leave.
