There's a lot to smile about nowadays. Am actually grinning like a satisfied puppy!
Okay, first is Robbie's 3rd birthday. Nephew's turning to be a brat like his tito. A spoiled yet intelligent brat. Turned down everything his mom and lola wanted to buy him on his birthday, like a $400 toy car or a bike that's priced the same. And what did he want? A trip to the mall (with me as the yaya), a few rides, and snacks at Jolibee. I love kids! And after all that, he muttered "Wala kasi nakikinig sa gusto ko eh!"
Right. We grownups should listen more to them - could save not a few bucks if only we listen to what kids want for their birthdays. Of course, this only means one thing - a much more expensive Christmas gift for my nephew. No matter what, he deserves it (for the maturity he'd shown, beyond his age). Besides, by then I would have found the perfect puppy for him.
Next is AIBO. Yeah, yeah, Sony discontinued development/production of these robot dogs but I still can find something on eBay. I've always wanted one, but somehow it was too pricey for a toy. Now it's become more affordable, given the fact that you can't buy one brandnew anymore. I'll settle for the updated support, though. I'm getting mine before Christmas.
Then there's DA. Ahhh maybe this is what "effort" means - patience. Patience is a virtue I do not posses. Last night we were even discussing an out-of-town trip together. Of course, knowing his job takes priority over everything else, we'd be lucky to see the toll gates of the SLEX this month. Yeah. Where can I buy patience anyway? Kahit perfume lang, pwede na.
Sunshine, over coffee last Sunday evening, said that being in a relationship does not mean you and your partner have to see each other regularly, as in weekly. Ohmigod, when did Sunshine become a relationship expert anyway? But it got me thinking, how often do I really want to be with DA? How often should we be seeing each other before we can be called a couple? Is it our being together that defines the relationship? Given that, or the alternative proposition, I'd rather we define our engagement in how much time we spend together than how long we stay apart.
Never been a fan of long distance relationships. We're not even apart, just two cities separated by the traffic congestion of EDSA. But it's beginning to feel like we're at two places separated by miles and miles of distance. How much of this I can take in the long term, I can't say for sure.
Of course, when I said DA is worth it, I wasn't thinking much about the "situation". His work comes first, and he has a killer of a boss. On the other hand, I'm the one with flexible time. So I figured I could do the adjustment. I can mould my schedule to his. Not the other way around. But control freak that I am (yeah, add that to my being a retard), I now doubt if I won't make demands sooner. I will. Watch me.
Still, lots to smile about. Sunshine knows why. Right Ms Owner of Dainty?
By the way, saw gymcrush jogging at midnight again. Grinning like a kitten now.

Kudos to you for being the bigger person and adjusting. However, I hope DA is going to make adjustments on his side as well. It's not going to work if you're the only one working.
I also agree with you when you said you'd much rather "define our engagement in how much time we spend together than how long we stay apart". My Partner and I have been spending a lot of time together. In fact, it's every free chance we get. But it doesn't mean expensive and hours and hours on end. We just meet up for coffee and talk. Sometimes, I workout in the gym he works out in so we can spend time after.
Like you and DA, EDSA is the only thing separating the two of us.
Much luck to you.
p.s. I Don't mean to sound like an expert. Those are just humble opinions, my friend.
*smile
Hmmm not to be too cocky but I guess it's all about getting what I wanted. So if it means changing something that I can so I could have what I want, fine...
Oh I made it sound as if I'm the only one working on it :-) which is not the case. Takes two to tango sabi nga nila. I may be the whiner, but DA does his own shit that makes it possible for both of us to enjoy this thing between us.
I'm glad to hear that. Good luck to both of you! :-)
By the way, I share the same sentiments about making the needed changes to get what we want hehehehehe I'm a brat and damn proud of it hahahahahaha!
ano ka ba...as I said, it's a challenge we're trying to face noh? And it was SUNSHINE who said you don't have to see each other regularly to build a relationship. Siempre I disagreed, that's why I have doubts about me and DA making it through.
