#Augustfeels

Today is the last Sunday of August.

I don't actually plan to write a post for today, but after arguing with someone here in my workplace, just needed something to divert my attention. 

CAR ACCIDENT

The month is almost done and just before it ends, I got into accident last Friday. We were on our way to the beach for my wife's team-building with her work mates, I was to enter the round- about, when the car exiting the round about suddenly stop and I hit him.

There is no way I could have pressed the break harder but luckily, I was able to rotate the steering wheels so instead of hitting the whole front bumper, I just broke my right bumper and glassy, I hit a Honda Accord car so as expected, his exterior is tough, It's almost like there's nothing happened in his car,only minor scratches. Mine, was, hmm.. you tell me. We went to the police station, though I know its not my fault, I hit him from the back side, technically making me the responsible one. 

I got frustrated, because I just got my car repaired like 3 weeks ago. YES. I got to an accident also last June. on the same round-about, (and on the same side of the round-about) only that time, I got hit by a big car on the back side. I was exiting the round-about when the car in front of me suddenly stop as well, but i was able to break, but behind me didn't, I brought it to the repair shop on the last week of July, and took it on August 10. 

Its frustrating cause I am not a reckless driver. Yes, I maybe a new one, but I try to be as careful as possible. It's funny because the night before the accident, I was with my friends and they were teasing me "Sulit na Sulit ang Insurance mo". This morning my Indian friend message me saying "because of you, maybe the insurance policy will change and we, the good drivers, will suffer" Its the third time I went to my insurance. I hope its the last. 

Good thing is that I have a comprehensive car insurance. I don't have to worry for the fixing of my car and of the car I hit. ADVISE TO FELLOW CAR OWNERS; Always choose a full insurance coverage cause you will never know. Tomorrow, I will go to the repair shop once again, and for sure the people there will remember me. Still glad and blessed nothing happened to us. 

HEALTH SCARE

Yesterday, I received this message from my Aunt who is very dear to me. I am hoping that everything will be fine. And matagal nya ng iniinda yang bukol na yan, so i advise her to go for it and pagtulung tulungan nalang namin., though madami bayarin lately, I will never hesitate to help my aunt, She practically raised me in my mom's behalf. I'm also very glad for a supportive wife. 

BYE-BYE BAHAY

After so many years of plan of "Ipagiba na natin" and/or "Ibenta na natin",  Yes, finally we were able to decide to do something with this house. This morning, my younger sister send us this picture of our old house. They started packing all the things that still could be use especially the NARRA chairs, tables and cabinets. Seeing this picture made me a little sad. The flashback of the childhood memories, good and the bad. The chair, my father used to sit to, the people who used to come and go, how we all live in a small space like this. so much nostalgia. 

This house became not only our home but home of all too. My friends, my sibling's friends, the neighbors, my father's barkada, It's like open to everyone. This house is the witness of everything we have gone through. I'm sad that we need to let it go but I am happy finally we are moving on. 

SEPTEMBER IS COMING!!!

Annual vacation it is, though this time we are not going home to the Philippines. We will go on a Eurotrip to visit Mom and Sis and my nephew, And we'll also try to see if Does the moonlight shines on Paris after the sun goes down! hahaha 

I'm Out!

Taking You Back To the First Day

Today We are Celebrating our 10th Anniversary of being Together. Who could have thought, that first day of August 2006 was the start of our journey to a lifetime. Its amazing to be able to spend my youth with my then girlfriend and now wife Hazel Sahar Nievera.

I could still remember everything. This is the best time to reminisce our story (or at least my fair share of the story).

 (Please don't get confuse. August 1 is our anniversary of being together, June 18 is our wedding anniversary)


FIRST YEAR 2006-2007

To be honest, I didn't court her. It just happened (hahahaha). I met her the first day of our 2nd year in college.Although, we were talking and chatting in school, we aren't actually friends. I just thought she was a high profile, socialite, and i knew then, that i could not be friends with her.

My ideal girl is someone who is sweet, kind, intelligent, not maarte, family-oriented, with good skin and hair, simple, in short someone who you can be proud of introducing to your parents, and lastly someone who, if not of my same height, is shorter than me,

I know a lot of you knows this story. I will tell it anyways.

It was the first day of our sophomore year. I have no friends in the class because my friends were irregular students. I opted to sit on the back row. It is essential (at least for me and my friends) and traditional to us guys to check on girls in the class if there is anyone who is worth our time. I searched and i saw None. Like literally no one. When we were about to introduce ourselves, Someone entered in the door, I  heard her say "good morning mam" but I didn't see her. she seated in the front row. She wear this cute pink polo shirt, and she was wearing slippers. Her hair was so long and straight like it was rebonded, it was black and shiny, and it was like love at first sight of the hair. I was trying to have a glimpse of her, when she turned on her back and we accidentally stared at each other. She smiled. To my surprise I smirked. I noticed that she was seated beside some familiar faces like my previous classmates. I cant remember why, but the teacher called me in front to get something, and when i approached the teacher, i heard someone says "Hi Xander", It was Dea, my classmate from Rizal Class, i remembered her cause her family was raised in Urdaneta as well. Then I shift my eye to her right and I saw again this pretty lady. This time I first smiled, and she smiled back. After that class, i went to the cafeteria to meet up with my friends.


 I remembered my friend Louie John asked me if there were any pretty girls in my class (I told you, its a tradition), This pretty girl  walked out from one store, and I told Louie, "that one". and then he said, "pinsan ko yan eh". I didn't believe him because how could it possibly be. How come we never met her if she really was his cousin.

Later that day we met again, in the healthcare lab classes. We were formally introduced by our friend Dea. When Dea and I were talking stuffs about our hometown, Hazel jumped in and it was the first time i heard her talk. She sounds so cute. I told her why you know a lot of things about Urdaneta.. Dea then said  "ay oo taga Urdaneta yan, Sya nga Miss Urdaneta this year eh" . I was in awe. A pretty girl from my own town?? How could it possible that we didn't bump into each other? We exchanged numbers not for any reasons. I know i like her, just on the first meeting, but I ignored it. She was just way out of my league.

She was everything I ever wanted in my life, except that she was taller than me. She seems so innocent, so sweet, and hell yeah, she came in the same town.

We only see each other on MWF cause that's the schedule of our class. That's the only time we actually talk. One afternoon, i was scrolling on my phone book, i sent her a quote. I cant remember what i sent her, but i can remember her reply, a quote as well. I felt kilig for no reasons. I'm crazy.

Serendipity

One day (July 21 to be exact), After our class, out of nowhere, I asked her if I can walk her home. She, being captured with my awesomeness, said yes. On our way to her apartment, I didn't know what's got into me but i held her hand. She blushed but did not backed out. She allowed me to hold her hand. We were smiling the whole time saying nothing.  then she let me in to her apartment. We were both kilig, I think,While we were talking random things,  I stared at her deeply and I didn't know what got into me again but i kissed her. It was amazing. It was like I was never kissed before.

The next day, we went to our class together holding hands. People were staring and asking. You know that my wife was a bit taller than me, so when they saw us, they were shocked. I, for one, didn't also know our status. Are we on? Are we dating? I'm not sure, But i didn't asked. I am happy for whatever it is that we had.

On July 25, I introduced her to my family. It was my younger sister's birthday,. I remembered introducing her as "my special friend".

Then ofcourse i need to seal it, so we became official on August 1, 2006. and the rest were history.


I felt like the luckiest guy on earth. Like literally. People see me as No one, but when I'm with her, I feel like I'm Superman. I knew, from the moment i kissed her that i was drawn to her, I knew that I love her that instant, I knew that she will be the one I will get marry with.


We shared hard times too, not everything is happily ever after, but after ten years, I am so proud of what we have become. I am still inlove with my bestfriend and still madly, crazy about her.

Happy 10th Anniversary to my ex girlfriend, Hazel Sahar. I am yours and you are mine forever,
