Bear Hugs

June 30, 2010
Today was a day that surely wasn't gonna be forgotten for a while, not only by me, but also by a whole lot of other people. Some might say that it's just another holiday or just another day of salary collection, but for some it was monumental!

Three things happened today that made it monumental:

1. An inauguration of a president
2. A premier of a famous novel-turned-movie
3. Rekindling of a flame that was almost put out

So my day started like any other, except I had no classes. President Noynoy Aquino was inaugurated today. I thought to myself that it was another rest day, which was great. But I did make plans with a girl I loved, lost, and now, love again. She reached me through Facebook and text messages, and we agreed to meet. I was nervous because of the fact that we have been apart for a year now.

But it turned out great. W e went to drop off something, buy a book, then ate lunch, then watched a movie. We reminisced a lot, shared a few laughs and teased each other just like we used to back then, only this time we went all out, because no one was there to judge or hush us up. I had one of the best days of my life as of late that day. It was funny how life plays you.

But what was really funny was what happened a few minutes after we met. We were sitting ona couch in this open cafe. As we were talking, asking stuff about each other and sharing the warmth of each other in a hug, a person promoting a gym approached us on two different yet, succeeding occasions, with a few minutes' interval. They asked if I attended a gym and such, which I replied to positively. Then they asked about the girl I was with, who I was wooing. But they referred to her as my girlfriend, which made her giggle, and hug me more. And then I courteously sent them away by saying she didn't need one as of now. I was really gonna crack up if a third one followed, but we had to leave.

All in all, it was a great day. I only wish it was the same for her, and I do hope that that day wouldn't be our last.

Oh, she calls me her "teddy bear" because I'm warmer than usual and a great hugger.
