Week 2: Roses and Rosary

It's Friday the 13th last Friday yet I was amazed by the people's positivity. In the office, everyone is uber excited for the kick-off party of our department. So, no one cares if the day is going to be in chaos, unlucky, ruined, messed up or anything negative--a perfect day to celebrate our first year anniversary.

Definitely, this entry is all about our anniversary and not about the party.

So, I didn't attend the company party. After shift, I went straight to Market! Market! to meet Andrew. I know he's been there for more than an hour, and there's no reason for me to stay longer in the office. Though, I really wanted to see Kaite (an officemate) perform. When I finally reached our meeting place, which is in front of the fountain as he requested, I'm surprised not to see him on our favorite spot. Annoyed, I called and texted him, only to find out that he's there, right behind me holding a bouquet of white roses. Awww... Just imagine my heart melting down. I am trying really hard to hide my smile, but there's no way I can help myself. Maybe I am overreacting, but to tell you honestly, this is the first time I received a bouquet of roses from a boyfriend. Plus this act is not so Andrew. *giggles*

We took a walk to Highstreet together, holding hands. We had dinner at Friday's. We didn't talk too much, but we stare at each other's faces most of the time. I find it weird that way because we don't usually go out to dine, with white roses on my hands. I feel like a celebrity, really, with all the people looking at me and my flowers. How we celebrated our anniversary can be as easy as that but the "main event" happened on Sunday.

What to do on a Sunday? We travelled to Manaoag, Pangasinan to attend the holy mass there. Manaoag church has been very sentimental to me. It will always have a piece of my heart. I took him there to formally introduce him to God. Our anniversary is like a thanksgiving for both of us. It is not really easy to keep a relationship that long. And I thank God for guiding us, and keeping us both tough to every challenge we had. I am happy with His presence in our relationship. I can say that the connection we have is not that easy to break.

Roses. Love. God. Why I Love Weekends.
