Painting The Silence...

Today, I got a y ea r older.... meaning, another year filled with memorable and happy moments passed by again... For my birthday, I got twenty-four pieces of t wo-toned Fuschia and Baby Pink Ecuadorian roses... I can't believe the size of these flowers.. They're ev en b igge r than my fist curled up. They're humongous and equally gorgeous... Leihson sent me this beautiful bo uquet together with a special cake, a big gall on of chocolate ice crea m and two delicious home-cooked seafoods ~ squid adobo and sweet/spicy shrimps, all done by his mother, Nanay Lut, an exceptional cook, by the way... There are no words to define how grateful I feel for the way these people remembered me.. At work, me and my officemates together with some of ou r friends shared a small blow-out celebration.

"What qualities am I really looking for in a potential mate?" My pal asked me this 'coz she was wonde ring why I don't seem looking for someone special when in fact, it has already been more than a year since I last got ou t of a relationship. She even said, if she were in my shoes, she could have had her pick by now, considering she has a thing for one of my prospective suitors. But honestly, I don't have any idea either. I guess I'm at that stage where I'm enjoying to the fullest the "benefits" of being a pursued-single. I find it funny that most girls my age would worryingly cringe at the ide a of not being settled yet, with fear that they might not find anyone at all.. You see, there are a few different kinds of girl-species and I ...
