This week I got this surprising early-morning note from hubby when I opened the laptop:
(notice the colors? it’s our wedding motif =D)
It soooo simple but it surely made my day! My heart melted. Simple and little surprises do keep the flames within. Keep it up D! It works wonders. Thank you for everything. I LOVE YOU TOO!
Chocolates are infamous in courtship. I’ve read somewhere that the connection between chocolates and courtship was built because of the former’s aphrodisiac effect. If I remember my behavioral psychology right, I think it has something to do with conditioning also – wherein the lady pursued will associate “positive” feelings to the giver. Well, let’s not go into the details of that stimulus-response/conditional-unconditional stimulus theory anymore…the bottom line is: to countless ladies like me, chocolate-giving is undeniably charming.
I, too, have my own one-of-a-kind experience of the chocolate-love phenomenon around four years ago. It was in an instance when my relationship with D was on the verge of doom. Due to disappointments and all, I wrote and sent him an email that contained words of frustrations and despair.
Subject: I need a KITKAT!!!!
I guess it wouldn’t take a genius to interpret the subject because of its popular line on the TV ad. I was disheartened and determined to have that break!
Bothered and apprehensive throughout the day…I just waited for his reply – expecting him to concur to my decision…BUT to my dismay, I received a reply from him…
Re: Care for a CLOUD 9 instead?!
Oopppssss…that sweet line had me - right then and there! I was amused and consoled by his wit of using another chocolate name (locally made here in PI) to convey the desires of his heart. Albeit I was certain to have that break, deep inside, I was clinging to that hope that he won’t give up just like that. Fickle eh?! Well, going back to that reply, it was backed up with assurance of a better relationship of course (which he fulfilled so far) …and that was the last big fight we ever had so far.
Literally speaking, who would have thought that someone would exchange an imported chocolate (Kitkat) 
for a cheaper one (Cloud 9) 
which can be bought at P3 only - the bite size?
Truly, chocolates make wonders =)
How about you? Any unforgettable tale on chocolates and love? Tag me along…and let’s tell the world our story =)
Hubby is in a far away land for a month now and I am truly, madly, deeply lonely. For over five years, my day is incomplete without him. Yes, we made it a point to spend time together everyday and it is an irony that it’s impossible to do so now that we are married. Gosh, I am used to having D around and our current situation is distressing. Every love song that tells about being apart suddenly becomes overwhelmingly meaningful that it gets into me — sooo badly! I thought that missing someone like “crazy” is figurative but lately, I say it’s literal. I could say that numerous songs definitely convey how I feel that’s why MUSIC has been my perfect companion nowadays.
One day, D sent me a text message: “If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am. Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?” — an excerpt from “If You’re Not the One” by Daniel Bedingfield. Yes, I heard it before and I thought it was about a desperate guy who is obviously hopeless romantic. But when I checked it out, I felt its passion — and I listened to it as if I have never heard it before:
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at allI’ll never know what the future brings
But I know you’re here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life withI don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my lifeI don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms
Hmmm…beautiful!!!
I MISS YOU D! Hope to see you soon!
