Dear Diary,

Kahapon, walang nangyaring kakaiba. Amidst the sea of flowers, I was the only fish who didn't get any. Kahit chocolate, wala. Umasa ako, diary! Umasa ako ng bongga. Pero wala. He just greeted me. And no, it's not 'Happy Valentine's Day'.

It's "Good morning."

Dafuq, di ba?

So imagine my surprise when he showed up at my apartment earlier with a bouquet of flowers in his hand and a huge teddy bear on the other.

"Nakalimutan mo kahapon 'no?" tanong ko sa kanya.

Umiling sya. "They were practically shoving the flowers under my nose, you think I'd forget it was Valentine's?"

"Then why didn't you do all these yesterday?" simangot kong tanong sa kanya. Nagmukha akong kawawa kahapon. Kahit nga si Lester may nareceive na flowers.

Ako, nganga.

"Yesterday was St. Valentine's death. Do you want to commemorate his death?"

Ugh. I never should've asked, diary. He's weird through and through.

Anyway, the date was fun. He was really different. We visited an art museum where you can't really talk aloud dahil kabuntot mo yung guard. Then we ate at a nearby hotdog stall. Tipid-tipid. But it was fun because it's him I'm with. His jokes were priceless, diary.

He never fails to make me laugh. Mina ng jokes yang si Migs e. And when he needs to be serious, he gets serious. He told me that I wouldn't feel special kung kahapon namin ito ginawa. It's a common feat during Valentine's. Lahat halos ng babae may bitbit na bulaklak. Lahat may ka-date.

Why would I feel any different?

He has a point though. Wala akong masyadong nakitang magkadate ngayong araw. E paano ba naman, kahapon kaya ang Valentine's.

He made me feel special today. I have waited so long to for someone to do that. I'm so glad he's finally here.

In love,

Ingrid

P.S. Magkano kaya ang nagastos nya ngayong araw?
