That was the night of my birthday, in a territory I am not really familiar in. But it did not really matter - hell did I enjoy that day with her. I knew I couldn't wait to get back home to update the prequel. That time, I really wanted to vent out everything I was feeling for her.
She really had me from the start. I instantly had a crush on her the first time I laid my eyes on her. Quickly, I started liking her. At this point that I was writing this second entry, I knew I already liked her ALOT. And of all the girls that had (and this still accounts up to the present) caught my attention, this one is quite strange because [stripped off info]. And actually, I did compare her (I rarely do this) to these other girls I have known before, and none of them matches her in some crucial characteristics.
Yes, she rendered me dumbstruck alright. I think we ALL know that by heart by now. But at the point I was writing this (and just rediscovered it the last time I re-read this a few months ago), I really did not want anything to do with her in the romantic sense. Silly me huh? I liked her so much, and damn my heart would always melt just by looking at her, etc. But I did not want to be her boyfriend, or such. The "strange" reasons I mentioned were the reasons.
Another thing that was so disturbing for me is she might have seen a part of me which isn't me (backtrack here -> http://secret--lover.blogspot.com/2009/05/that-one-good-thing-she-saw-in-me.html). I have been someone who wants everything right on the table, so as no one will be left out or lost in transition, if that's safe to say. And my friends knew that I am a person of that stature. But I felt like she saw otherwise (but not conclusive I am sure) - like I'd be keeping some for myself for no apparent reason.
Yes, disturbing but I wouldn't worry that much. Remember, I didn't want to be her boyfriend. I was just cherishing the moment. Close to heaven, yeah.
Card games. Double yeah!
At that point, I was already worried on how I would be going on when the time comes that we would not be seeing each other (for a long time, or not at all - yet to be known). I knew that day would be big for me, dunno for her. I was already thinking if she was willing to talk to me and how we will actually be in contact after that "stint". It did look quite gloomy.
That's how I ended the second entry. Worrier with a sad face.

That one good thing she saw in me...
Just two weeks ago, I got to read some of my old blogs (where my true identity was actually posted - so I won't be posting it here). And wow did I write so well before - my old entries were WAY BETTER than my entries here. My brain cells must be deteriorating fast. Not good.
Anyway, there was one particular blog I made from Friendster which I created midway from the last time I saw her to now - that was X years before. The whole blog was not about her, I swear. But there was this particular line in a particular entry that I was talking about her:
"I used to be the most patient guy in the eyes of at least one girl..."
I remember at the time I was creating that line, I was so certain there was at least one girl who sees me as a very patient person because I remember the time so well when we were together, she told me that I was a very patient guy.
I rarely receive such a compliment from anybody, so this makes a really notable and memorable one since it came from a special person. I knew she meant it - by the way she told that to me.
I knewI have alot of good things in me, but I don't know if she was able (or if she did choose) to see them. I do now know how she appreciated me (or still appreciates me), on every either little or big thing I have done for her. I do not know how she really saw me.
Yes, I admit I wanted her to notice me like how I wanted to, but I kept freezing at some crucial moments with her. I might have tried hard, too hard that she wouldn't budge. I knew I have alot of things about me to show her. It wasn't easy showing her for some reasons, but I was trying.
And this one thing I never intended to show her, the one thing I did not expect for her to see out in the open, and yet that is the one good thing she saw in me. PATIENCE.

Rendered Lovestruck?
Have you been rendered lovestruck by someone, but somehow you just can't tell him/her? Post it here:
http://www.letterstocrushes.com/
Yes, you can go anonymous in here in anyway you want. You can tell the person absolutely anything! But just don't pin any hopes that he/she will be able to read it (unless you or someone tells him/her to go to this site to read some).
What's amazing about this site is you can read these short but really sweet letters written by these anonymous (or you can actually state your name) people for the people they love. I feel really high reading these letters, and yes, nostalgic because I can very well relate to some of those, and it can just bring me back to the time I was with her.
Just pay the site a visit. Someone, somewhere out there, may have secretly written something for you. You too can do the same for another person!

Ripples of an Opinion from an Unlikely Person
Just recently, a friend of mine made his way in reading the prequel. (Note: The timing is PURELY COINCIDENTAL. This friend knows nothing about this blog. He made his way to the prequel because another friend reminded me of it). This friend is a kind of person who likes to joke around and, though personally I know some of his life stories, he rarely talks seriously. Being this kind of person, he is very well liked by people - well enough for me to trust him with my stories with this girl. So with him being a "relatively new" friend, I thought maybe it was time for him know this part of my life.
Reading intently, I knew he had something to say about what he was reading. He shown different facial expressions and reactions while he was reading it. But I was not worried about anything, except for one thing. Aside from the prequel, I shared bits and pieces of our stories. He knew just enough to make his own justifiable comments about us.
And he did.
Eventhough I did not tell him alot about what happened between us in our short encounter, he knew and felt positive about one thing - she liked me. And he also knew I liked her alot. That was the same thing my sister told me years before.
Of course, I wanted her to like me at the time we were together and the months after that, but I couldn't entertain the idea - generally, because I am a very pessimistic person in nature about the stuff of the heart. But had I not been entertaining the wrong things? Was I being stupid because I was blindfully afraid? Had I realized that I would be regretting later on if I didn't do such moves? Or did I know this will happen and still chose to freeze?
I did. I did regret it. Until now. And mind all of you, I rarely regret.
Going back to this friend of mine, I was talking about not worrying about him except for one thing. I can sense that he is a smart person, and I can sense in him that he feels that I still like the same girl. Ultimately, I still want this anonymity. I do not want anybody to know about this but her (soon!).
The ripples of what had come to pass is now becoming something big - big enough to wipe the smirk off my face. Looking back, I have been saying to myself "It shouldn't have happened this way," or "I should have been a bolder guy," and stuff like that. Man, it's hard. We should all remember - The biggest regrets will always come from the things WE DID NOT MANAGE TO DO for whatever reason.
So, for all of you, whatever happens, if you have the chance, go and kick their asses and get the girl!

Get Out of This System!!!
I am stuck in a place where I am not entirely happy in. This feeling sucks big time. I just want to get out of this system, and make my way to where she is physically and emotionally.
Why can't I move as of the moment? Two big reasons:
1. Global economic crisis
2. Swine flu outbreak
These have been globally discussed, and I believe these need no introduction.
How about you? How are you affected by these two global factors?
