The day before my freakin’ twenty-first birthday. What now?
Last year, I was dreading and grieving about my age. I’m growing old. Too much responsibility, you know. But I realized that life is beautiful. Yeah, there are many responsibilities and challenges, that are given, but life wouldn’t be as exciting as it is without those. I’ll just have to accept that I’m no longer a prodigy. Haha.
Anyhow, all people grow up. All people have birthdays, which come every year.
But you know what; I think this is gonna be the happiest birthday I’ll ever have. Because my family is safe and in good health, so I am (I feel a little sore throat), and we have a pretty, clean little house, and we eat at least three times a day. Plus, in the past year, I see the beauty of life. I lived, I learned and I loved. Odd to say, yeah, I loved. I cared for someone. Technically, I care for all people, but this one is special. He might be so far away right now, not knowing that I just realized that I love him and actually care for him, but I still love him. It doesn’t happen everyday, you know. I hope he remembers my birthday.
I’m not really busy these days; I’m just pretending that I am. Haha. I’ve got nothing to do but to relax and wait for the next job. I take care of the house chores, like cleaning, cooking, laundry, dishes and sometimes, baby-sitting.
Since I’m free, Auntie Nene had me to go with them to the doctor’s office the other day.
Before we left, Sam and I took some pictures,
I look after Sam while we wait for the doctor to see her. I saw my former colleague, Ada. She’s there to see the doctor too, and she looked really sick. She asked me if I know Jerome (her boyfriend), who just moved in Wellpoint. Kristina, Mimi and he were on the same class.
She asked me if Sam is my baby. Gosh. Now, I look like a Mom.
After the consultation, we went home. They drove me home. My fratelli were home, watching America’s Best Dance Crew, season three, in DVD.
I think I have a crush on Dominic Sandoval of Quest Crew. I don’t know, but guys who can dance really turn me on. Sssshhh. :-)
I spent some time in eb chat. The folks were alright. I had an argument with Biyolog because I teased her, crushing on someone. If you ask me, she’s a bit sensitive, but nonetheless, a good friend.
MBG sent me comment, telling me that he’s doing fine in his recovery from Lasik.
For the moment, I thought I stopped caring about him, and ignored the message. But then I replied. Hahaha. I guess he wouldn’t really receive it anyway, since the new EB interface doesn’t send notifications.
Then, last night, I went online to check if Janice replied to my message. Odd enough, there’s an offline from MBG.
“is there an invisible princess lurking in here somewhere? booo. oh well. just thought id come on and see if i could catch ya. i didnt see any response to the comment i left on ebaby, so i hope ur doing well. im still kinda recovering from the surgery. i hope to talk to you soon, ill tell ya all about it. for now i guess ill just say im still thinking of ya, hope all is well and good. ill say goodnight for now…. night!”
I hope he logs in again to see my reply. I promise, nothing mushy! Hahaha.
By the way, John wrote this poem for me. He sent it the other day.
PRINCESS REGINE
Princess Regine
The daughter of the queen
Of light and spacious dreams
Who walks in sacred placess
Embroidered In the pathways of my heart
A lovely vision of satin-y white
And dark velvety curls
Her wisdom flows freely
To Touch with Splendor
The Low in Spirt
To Raise them High
On Trails of Share Happiness
And to Comfort
Those who Mourn
With Her Soft Sweet Smile
A Memory
Never to be Forgotten
It’s so sweet, except that my hair is straight, not curly.
By the way, I’m crazy about the movie, “Shall We Dance” starring Richard Gere, J to tha Lo and Susan Sarandon.
SHALL WE DANCE
Richard Gere plays as John Clarke, a lawyer who has a happy, but boring married life.
One night, he saw this beautiful, young lady looking down from a window at Miss Mitzi’s Dance School, while the E-train he’s on passed by. From then on, he always saw the woman up there.
Then, one night, John saw her, dancing with someone. He got out of the train and went to the dance studio. He signed up for ballroom dancing lessons. The woman’s name was Paulina, and she turned out to be a substitute teacher.
John attended lessons and had friends in the school. He ran into one of his colleague, Lincoln, who was known in the office as the sports buff. Lincoln was dancing in Miss Mitzi’s studio, and was actually good at it. John became happy with his new hobby.
Beverly, John’s wife, noticed the changes in John’s mood. He’s always late, but he’s was cheerful, nonetheless. Beverly thought that John was having an affair with someone, so she hired a private investigator to spy on John.
Mr. Devine, the private investigator found out that John was just dancing. Mr. Devine invited Beverly to the dancing event in which John joined in, along with his dancing partner, Bobby, and Paulina was their coach.
While John was dancing in the contest, his daughter yelled, “Go Dad!” and he heard, so he lost focus, and he tripped. When he stood up, he stepped on Bobby’s dress and it ripped, showing her undies. Bobby walked out as the same time Beverly did. John ran after Beverly to explain.
He confessed that he was ashamed of dancing, that’s why he didn’t tell her.
They make it up, but John swore that he will never dance again.
Days passed, and Paulina decided to go back to England to join the Black Pool Dancing Contest. Paulina would have a party before she leaves, and she hoped to see and dance with John before she leaves.
John and Beverly attended the party, and danced.
You know what, this is the most heart-warming dance movie I’ve ever seen. It’s about love. Though the protagonist was old, it’s still cute. The plot was so simple, but the message was so clear.
I’ll give ten out of ten stars. It’s one of my favorites now, due to the simple, yet exciting plot, superb soundtrack, kick-ass dance moves and witty humor.
Plus, the “Book of Love” by Peter Gabriel was the warmest calm, romantic song that I’ve ever heard. It pierces through the heart.
I’m gonna watch it again.
