Finding Romeo

Fairy tales! Who didn’t grow up reading stories of Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, and Ariel? When I was young, my mom reads them to me all the time. Each story ending in “happily ever after” made me hopeful that one day I will find my own prince… the one who will sweep me off my feet , ready to give me the world.

But NO, I didn’t find him. There were a couple of frogs but there was no prince… not even a knight. 

You know who I found? This guy.

People around us were not very optimistic about this relationship. We’re too different they say. He is such a geek. He is too simple, which is one thing I will never be. He loves the outdoors and I love malls above all places. Our food choices do not match. He is a healthy eater, I don’t even eat vegetables.  Oh yeah. We don’t have much in common.

But it’s been a year. And so far, I have nothing to complain.

He is hands down the most intellectual person I know. Even his random snippets of wisdom leave me awe-inspired every time. He is very patient and understanding.  He is such a sweet soul. Sometimes, I have to check if my teeth are falling off because of too much cavities. He’s very spontaneous.  He never ran out of ideas on where to go and what to do. I really enjoy each conversation, no matter how silly. He makes sure I’m always happy. And I am. Full-stop.

Okay, tama ng pambobola, lumalaki na ulo ni Roma.

This is just the beginning of the rest of our lives together.  Are you ready babe?
