April 1st is known widely as April Fools Day when everyone is playing all kinds of jokes and foolishness toward each other. In Philippines, April Fools is celebrated on December 28. I don’t know the exact reason for this but when I was young I always received pranks and jokes from my family and friends. There was a time when my uncle wanted to show me his new magic trick. He gave me an empty matchbox. He said if I made a sign of the cross on my face using the matchboxes’ side, it will be filled with matchsticks. Eager as I was, I did what he said and later on he gave me a mirror. There was a big black cross on my entire face. My uncle and cousins laughed their ass off. I just stood there frowning and annoyed. During Christmas season, when someone asked about their present , it is a common answer that he or she will receive it on December 28. So if your godfather or godmother told you this, don’t ever bother to expect anything.
But April 1st is never an April Fools Day between me and my hubby. Seven years ago I accepted his proposal to be my boyfriend. We never really had that so-called Filipino traditional courtship since we were friends. I got to know him when we were group mates in nursing days. He was friendly, helpful and a gentleman. One time, I asked him about the song Love Moves in Mysterious Ways. The following day he gave me a copy of the song and sang it. It followed by another song Raise your Voice and so on. I didn’t mind it at first but I noticed that he learned the songs that I liked besides he was a self proclaimed rocker J As time passed by, he watched my favorite soap operas and romcom movies. He got more interested on the things that I liked. So we became much closer and I realized that I was falling in love with him. On this day, I didn’t just find a boyfriend but also a best friend.
To my dear B or Mr. M or boy siopao J I love you and will always be. It has been 2550 days since we’ve been in each other’s lives. I couldn’t imagine life without you. We have been through a lot and I thank God for guiding our relationship. Mikka and I are so lucky to have you. I can’t wait for little Migui to arrive J He will come, in God’s perfect time.
Thank you for being there for me. God has blessed us in so many ways though he never gave us what we wanted. In life, we may fail to seek His greatness because of earthly desires. However, you and Mikka came to my life in such a perfect way. My purpose solely is to show everyone how much I love you and Mikka. That's all I care about. I'll see you soon. I love you so much.
