I know what I want.

Dear Future Boyfriend,

As promised, here I am writing another letter to you. This time, it is as usual, dreamy and emotional.

I wrote my first letter to you sometime in 2013. I am a bit lazy to dig into the links, but it is just there. Today is 2018. You’re still not here. It still has “Future” on it.

I cry every night. Sometimes, it’s just quick tears and there are nights that it would be for an hour or until I fall asleep. Crazy, right? I felt relieved that I didn’t cry while I was in Okinawa. That would have been weird and would be embarrassing to explain.

I am scared that I may not recognize you because I have been trying to live my life as happy and grateful as I am now. I have been living a far too independent life, with a well-hidden emotional longing for you, that people see me as happy and contented and composed without you in my life right now. There is no way that I would give a hint unless otherwise they are good as deciphering tone and reading between the lines. Not a lot of people are.

My friend just advised me today that I should never, ever settle for anything less just because I have a ticking biological time bomb.

I would always be asked, “What are you looking for?”
Then, I would answer, “Someone with very long patience.”
I would jokingly add, “I am high-maintenance, IQ-wise, after all.”

I know what I want.
Someone who would choose to stay.
Not someone mesmerized by mysteriousness.
I don’t like to be chased.
I don’t want to be followed.
I want to be considered as the other-half.
I don’t want to be put in a pedestal.
I want to be handheld side-by-side.
I don’t want to be prized.
I want to be accepted as I am- an emotional rollercoaster with pretty much predictable states.
I love to be surprised.

Because I will take you as you are. I won't settle for anything less after all, right?

Then my friend told me, “Please be that same patient person.”

What do I have to do for you to find me? I am not really sure if I have been doing something significant for that matter, but all I can say is that I am tired and so I cry.

God reminds me that there is no fear in love. I have no fears of you not finding me. I trust God that He will lead you to me in His due time, just like how He had fulfilled my other wishes in the past. I just want you to know that I am sad and tired at this moment.

In the future, if you see me, please always have your arms wide open, ready to welcome me and then kiss my forehead and then just hug me for a bit longer than usual.

I have to sleep now. It’s past midnight.

xoxo,
Kat

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

-
Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....
