This is a non sexual story. Time out muna. Let me just share to you guys what happened with one of the most unforgettable experience that we had.
It was one sunny afternoon. I was in the office and just waiting for something that I need to do.
“walang calls.. sarap buhay..hahah..”sabi ko kay drake
“oo nga eh.. petix mode pre.”sagot sakin
I was thinking of something that I can give to my girlfriend since our monthsarry is almost there.
“ano kayang magandang regalo pre?” tanong ko kay drake
“bakit ano meron?”sagot nito
“monthsarry namin. hindi ko pa alam ang reregalo ko eh.. pero meron na akong plano.”sagot ko
“eh ano plano mo..”tanong nito
“medyo mahirap pero magagawan ko nang paraan…”sabi ko..
days passed by and almost all the preparations are almost complete. Isa na lang ang kulang…
siya..
Since I really don’t have that much money that I can spend, I just thought about something that she’ll never forget.
And the day came… It was a sunday.
We went to MOA, get readied myself, like a normal date nothing really that flashing that I used.
“Hon, punta tayo sa MOA. Dun na lang tayo magcelebrate nang monthsarry natin.”sabi ko kay maria
“Okay. Since wala rin naman tayo talagang gagawin, maglakad lakad na lang tayo dun.” sagot sakin.
When we got there, we decided to take our lunch at this restaurant near the seaside.
We were just discussing what we are going to do when were done with our lunch.
We decided to watch a film, just roam around after the film, go to the seaside, have dinner then go to a bar with some bands.
So, there we are watching Transformers while eating popcorn.
We really enjoyed the film. Then there we are again just roaming around, kwentuhan, kulitan, ginagawan nang katatawanan lahat nang nakikita naming katawa tawa.. just enjoying ourselves company.
“punta tayo nang EGG.”sabi ni maria
“Ok.”sagot ko
There’s this bag that she really likes. Everytime that we are gonna go to EGG or pass by EGG, she will always look at this bag.
“Good afternoon sir and ma’am” pagwelcome samin nung saleslady.
“Good afternoon din.”sagot ko
Then the ritual. She went to the bag that she wants, look at it, look at the price then said
“Balang araw mapupunta ka din sakin.”sabi niya sa bag
“Actually ma’am, meron kaming promo na kapag bibili ka nang purse na to, meron kang discount sa selected bags.” tapos sabay introduce dun sa purse na binibenta nung saleslady.
“No thanks. Nagtitingin lang kami actually.”sagot naman ni maria
“Ahh ganun po ba. Well anyways, try niyo na lang po tong raffle namin. Wala ka pong kelangan bilin, bumunot ka lang po nang raffle ticket dito then check natin kung meron kang price.”pagtutuloy nung saleslady
“Sigurado ka ate? okay sige.”sabay pasok nang kamay niya dun sa isang bowl na may mga papel.
“okay. eto po.”sabi ni maria
While this is happening I was just looking at some of the things that are on sale on that date. I wasn’t really giving any interest on it.
“Thanks po. Check ko lang po to ha..wait lang po.”sabi nung saleslady
“ok.”sagot ni maria
The saleslady went to the back of the counter, look on the raffle stub then smiled. She took a big paper bag on her back then she went back to maria
“Congratulations po ma’am! eto po yung price niyo!”sabay bigay nung gift kay maria
“Really?! Thanks!”masayang sagot nito
You will really see the smile on her face and on her eyes, I know she is excited about the gift.
“Hon, pahawak naman nitong purse ko. Check ko lang tong prize ko.”sabi sakin
“okay.”sabay punta sa kanya kuha nang purse at tingin sa reaction niya.
Once she opened the gift, she got stunned at what she saw inside.
“aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!”bigla siyang napatili sa saya
It’s the bag that she really wants.
The reaction on her face, the joy that she feels, the happiness that she shows when she got what she want at the least expected time.
“check mo yung inside baka may laman.”sabi ko
When she opened the bag, she saw a card. She took the card, flipped it and then she saw a message.
“Happy Monthsarry Honey! I love you!”
When she red the message she look at me with a teary eye. She don’t know what she’s going to tell me, how she would react to the situation since there are people in the store that are watching her.
I, on the other hand, have my hand on my back, smiling at her, then handed her over the bouquet of flowers that I asked the store attendant to hand it over to me once she gave the gift to maria.
“Happy monthsarry honey, I love you so much!”
Speechless.. Just plain speechless, smiling at me, tears rolling down her face and can’t say anything.
I just grabbed her and hugged her.
I thanked the store attendant in EGG for doing the role playing perfectly.
So when we got out of the store, she is still in euphoria. She doesn’t talk, she’s just walking with a big big smile on her face.
I just let her be. Just savor the moment.
As planned, we went to seaside, just waiting for the sunset. Sunset is very dramatic, like someone going away and never coming back. It’s very emotional, very beautiful. World is so wonderful.
So she’s just telling me that why I didn’t tell him that I will buy the bag for her.
“kaya nga surprise eh!” sabi ko
“eh..basta…”sabi ni maria
So when the sunset is done, we were just walking on the seaside, holding each others hands and just enjoying the ambience.
We also ate in one of the fancy restaurants on the seaside so that we can get fresh air while still enjoying the atmosphere.
When were done, we just walked around, looking for some other place to go.
“dun tayo, mukhang magaling yung band”sabi ko
“okay.”sagot naman niya
Then we occupied the table second to the nearest to the band.
They were actually good. Singing alternative rock songs. I really love alternative rock songs. OPM and Foreign bands.
“medyo pagod na kami, kayo naman kaya kumanta. ahahahah!” sabi nung vocalist.
The crowd likes it. They are going to ask someone to go up to the stage, sing a song that they like.
“O sinong gustong kumanta diyan?!”tanong nung vocalist.
“wag na kayong mahiya, sige na…”pagdugtong pa nito ng makita niyang nahihiya yung mga tao na pumunta sa stage.
“sir ikaw, medyo may aura ka na hindi ko mapaliwanag eh..”sabi nito sabay turo sakin.
I just looked on my back to check if there are anyone else that the vocalist is pointing at.
“yes sir, ikaw nga.. halika dito”sabay baba niya from the stage then nagpunta sa table namin.
“sir, ano pong pangalan niyo?”tanong niya sakin.
“Jayson”pagpapakilala ko
“okay guys, we have sir Jayson here, sa tingin ko gustong kumanta ni Jayson.”
I know how to sing. I really don’t mind at all.
So I went up to the stage and talked to the band. They agreed that they can play the song that I want.
♫ Intro 214 – rivermaya ♫
“This goes out to the most special person in my life. Maria. Happy monthsarry honey” habang tumutugtog ang banda.
♫♫♫
Am I real?
Do the words I speak before you make feel
That the love I’ve got for you will see no ending?
Well if you look into my eyes then you should know
That you have nothing here to doubt nothing to fear
And you can lay your questions down cause if you’ll hold me
We can fade into the night and you’ll know
CHORUS:
The world would die and everything may lie
Still you shouldn’t cry
‘Cause time may pass
But longer than it’ll last
I’ll be by your side
Take my hand
And gently close your eyes so you could understand
That there’s no greater love tonight than what I’ve for you
Well if you feel the same way for me then let go
We can journey to a garden no one knows
Life is short my darling tell me that you love me
So we can fade into the night and you’ll know
The world could die and everything may lie
Still you shouldn’t cry
‘Cause time may pass
But longer than it’ll last
I’ll be by your side
Forever by your side
I want you to know
The world could lie
And everything may die
Still you shouldn’t cry
‘Cause time may pass
And everything won’t last
I’ll be by your side
Forever by your side
Forever by your side
So you won’t cry

♫ outro 214 – rivermaya ♫
“That was nice bro!”sabi nung vocalist
“Teka, teka, may band ka ba?”tanong sakin nung vocalist
“Wala naman. Marunong lang akong kumanta.”sabi ko
“Delikado career ko sayo.. hahaha.”sabi nito
“Palakpakan po natin mga kaibigan si Jayson!” pagdugtong nito
Then I went back to my seat.
“Was it good?” tanong ko kay maria
“Yeah, that was awesome!”sabay smack niya sakin.
We enjoyed the night with the band. After they performed, they went to our seat and joined us for a drink (I really don’t drink. Nagsoda lang ako nun..hahahaha..)Introduced ourselves, exchanged numbers.
“Gawin ka naming special guest kapag may gig ulit kami, para hindi ako napapagod kumanta. hahaha..”sabi ni paul (vocalist)
“Sige ba. Basta wala din akong trabaho nun ok lang naman.”sabi ko
“O sige guys, una na kami medyo antok na din kami eh.”sabi ko kay paul
“okay. sige sige ingat kayo ha and congratulations ulit sa inyo! see you guys soon.”pagpapaalam nito
We ended the night with a blast. Enjoyed every single moment of it. I didn’t expect that it will go that way. I love surprises. You should too!
