me and my big mouth

i was hoping to get something for today's very special occasion. well, i was really keeping my fingers crossed since i made it clear (quite clear, i should say!) to joseph that we shouldn't be so extravagant with gifts and just save the money for our upcoming wedding. of course, it was all drama (but with a certain truth to it) after finding out how much it had once costed him when he sent me two dozens of roses a few days after we officially became a couple.

so much for being dramatic and all. oh well... now i know... when you want something, be direct and straight to the point. :P

anyways, to continue my story, i felt a bit sad after coming home and finding out that i didn't get a measly single rose from my baby. everybody at home was teasing me, "you and your big mouth! you have nobody else to blame but yourself!" now, that pretty much made matters worse. not to mention that i felt that i was also coming down with the flu or something. sheesh! what a way to spend valentine's day!

and so i sent joseph another dramatic line, saying i wasn't feeling good (which is true!) and i wasn't up for chatting on skype. i was hoping that he would reply that we would call me via landline instead so i wouldn't have to sit in front of the PC anymore. he just replied with "sige rest ka na lang." that's it? by this time, my family was laughing. i promptly replied with a line that was a bit more direct. this time, i got a better answer.

i logged onto skype and right away i knew that he knew already how i truly felt about everything. that was good enough for me. of course, being the emotional person that i was, i shed a few tears. sigh! i miss the guy. i wish he was here or i was there. can't wait to see him in august.

speaking of skype, we just started using this new program a few days ago. it's voice chat, but definitely better than YM, i should say. but since i'm on dial-up, the incidence of lags is inevitable, especially when you're also surfing the net simultaneously. i suppose if the other party and you are both on DSL, the quality is just like you're talking on the phone. and it's for free, mind you! that's the best part! :)
