Hi Jheck,
I am truly happy with your response. Accepting my apology is more than enough for me. My friends means a lot to me. It has taken me some difficulties in life to realise that. Anyway, your happiness is mine as well.
That's all I need to hear.
Sorry, if Biboy is somehow affected by this. I understand. I've been through situations like this.
The best of luck to your relationship.
regards, arnel c",)
thank you

Birth Date Confusion
I received a message from Bhe-bhe this morning:
Bhe-bhe: Hapi bday frnd! C u n mgblow out k sana!
Jheck (thru Chikka): Salamat sa greeting. But you're one day delayed! Hmph! :)
Bhe-bhe: Ay ganun ba? Sorry. Kala ko ngayon. Cge, wag ka na lang mag-blow-out. Si joan naman sa 17 ang drama!
Jheck: sabi nga ni leigh na pinagdidiskusyunan nyo kung ngayon o kahapon. anong 17 ang drama ni joanne? sa june 1 pa b-day nun.
Bhe-bhe: Ba't di mo kc cnabi sa kin? Sabi ni joan 17 pa raw bday mo.
Jheck: kala ko kc tatawag ka kaya mo hiningi number ko. 17? ngayon ko lang narinig un a!
Lots of college friends are confused with my birth date. They usually associate it with the date I celebrated it with a party, like 9th, 11th, 12th or 13th. So hearing Joanne thought that it was on the 17th was new to me! Sobrang layo naman ata 'nun...

New E-mail Addresses
I'd be stopping my Edsamail subscription this April. For one thing, their service isn't as good as it was a few years back. Hirap mag-connect, bagal ng pagpasok ng messages, and small inbox size. Secondly, para rin makatipid sa gastusin. 700 bucks (dunno kung magtataas sila this year) each din ang babayaran ko per e-mail address. I have three e-mail addresses. Third, tutal lagi naman akong naka-connect sa net so might as well use net free e-mails. (Kung kailan naman kasi may bayad na ang Edsamail, saka pa pumangit 'yung service!)
I've decided to sign-up with Google Mail since 1 gb ang size niya. Nagpadala ako ng invitations through Biboy's add since the acquisition of gmail is through invitation only.
My new addresses are:
1. My personal e-mail add: <jheck.david@gmail.com>
2. For Yahoo! Groups subscriptions: <e.groupster@gmail.com>

Birth Day 2005
I woke up at around 11:30 a.m. I was expecting to wake up earlier than that once Biboy arrives. But I received a message from him saying that he'd be going here a little late than was planned. So I went back to sleep. Apart from that, I received a phone call from Babes. She had greeted me and she asked about Saturday's plans.
A little before 12 p.m., I asked daddy to drive me to South Supermarket. I bought the neccesary stuff needed for my Pasta A La King. When we went home at around 1:30 p.m., Biboy was already here. After finishing the cheeseburger meal (upgraded to Twister fries and Coke float) I bought from Mc Donald's and the massage I asked from Biboy, I proceeded to the kitchen and cooked.
I was quite disappointed with how my Pasta A La King turned out. The sauce wasn't thick enough dahil naparami 'yung nalagay kong tubig. Then, the pasta was overcooked which really suprised me since binantayan ko naman 'yung pagkulo nun. When I have put the sauce and the pasta together, matabang ang lasa! Sobrang nainis talaga ako. Wala naman akong masyadong magawang remedy dahil magkahalo na sila. I just added salt, pepper, all spice seasoning, and italian seasoning to it. Medyo nagkalasa pero kulang pa rin. Marami pa naman 'yung niluto ko dahil I've asked Mama and others to drop by the house. I also planned to give some to Biboy's family. Ayun, natabangan nga sila. Gusto ko pa naman sanang magpasikat sa mama ni Biboy. Hay...
Anyway, despite that, this day turned out okay. Biboy was here. At least we were able to spend our 2nd anniversary together. The letter I wrote him (To Bi or Not to Bi) made him cry. Iyakin kasi talaga 'yun, e. Hehehe.
Angel was also here. Nung pinapunta ko sina Mama, pinahatid ko na rin si Angel. Kasama ni Mama sina Tita Josie, A.R., at Dana. Binigyan ko sila ng pabaon dahil nga marami 'yung niluto ko.
I fell asleep at 11 p.m. (after watching American Idol 4) while bringing Angel to sleep. The day ended with Mommy's phone call at exactly 12 a.m.
Thank you, God, for this wonderful day!

To Bi or not to Bi
On the midnight of February 10, 2003, you called me and greeted me a "Happy Birthday!" With that, you played the guitar and sang to me, "Is it okay if I call you mine?" It was oh-so-sweet that you made me cry. No one has ever done that to me. It was then that I fully realized that I am making the right decision.
The morning after, you visited me and tried to say goodbye. You felt that it was just proper because you thought that it was hopeless to pursue me any further. "Ngayon pa kung kailan sinasagot na kita?" were the next words you heard from me. Since then, my life has changed. Since then, I never felt this happy.
Thank you for the two wonderful years that we've shared. Thank you for staying with me despite my tantrums and all my "kasungitan". I believe that you are the only now who could stand them.
I want you to know that within those years, it never occurred to me that we would be apart. I know and I feel that we would stay together for a very long time, if not forever.
Bi, you are the man of my dreams. Through thick and thin, I'd stay with you. You have asked me several times to be patient with you. This time, I'm asking the same thing from you. Please be patient with me. I know that I'm not "perfect" or as sweet as you want me to be. I may not express it all the time or show my feelings the way you want me to but I am truly and deeply in love with you. I could not see myself being with another man in the future other than you.
I love you, Bi! Happy Anniversary!

Subject: "What could be greater than this?"
As I walk down through my 2-year anniversary memories with Biboy, I am posting this e-mail I've sent to Edward. I don't exactly remember the time I've sent this but this was almost the same time the "necklace incident" happened...

Hi, Ed!
I gotta tell you what happened today...
Irvin and I are on our way to LRT Northmall Monumento to buy some bootleg dvd's. There was a moderate traffic before you reach Monumento circle. I was sort of had my eyes closed when we were on the jeepney when I realized that someone snatched my necklace. I grabbed my neck and uttered, "Shit!" Irvin said, "Kuwintas mo?" I said yes and he suddenly rushed out of the jeepney and ran after the snatcher. He ran after him along the traffic shouting,"Putsa! Magnanakaw!"
Our jeepney tried to ran over the guy but it fell short. They were running really fast when I saw them going through a street. When I felt that our jeepney was moving, I went down and walked towards where Irvin and the snatcher went nervously. I didn't see Irvin anywhere. I stood at the corner of street waiting. I was asking God to take care of him. I got really scared. I didn't know what to do. If I could just tell him to stop following the guy and just leave it be. I felt like crying already.
"God, please..." I said. I wanted to see him that instant. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad happened to him. 5 minutes passed and no sight of him. 10 minutes. Then, I decided to go through the street and look for him. I was scared that the snatcher might be there waiting to get my other stuffs or worst, I might see Irvin stabbed or bruised. When I felt that he wasn't there at all, I turned around. I saw him running towards me. I could almost cry when I said, "Ba't mo pa hinabol?" If I just had the guts to hug him that time with all those people around, I would have.
He said, "Uwi na lang tayo. 'Wag na tayong tumuloy. Malas ang araw na 'to." I agreed.
I was thanking God graciously for bringing Irvin back to me unharmed. I felt like crying but I was holding it back. Irvin was apologetic. I asked why.
He answered, "Di ko nabalik 'yung kwintas mo, e." Tears wanted to roll down my eyes.
"Di mahalaga 'yun. Ikaw lang naman concern ko, e," I said.
"Papalitan ko na lang. Promise!" he reassured me.
Then he made some jokes as if to dismissed what happened. I think that he felt that I was bothered about the necklace since it was my dad's gift to me from years back. So he's trying to make it easy for me. I couldn't say anything because I wanted to cry.
When we arrived home and reached my room, I hugged him so tight and cried.
"O, bakit ka umiiyak?" he asked.
"Tinakot mo ko, e. Kala ko kasi may nangyaring masama sa 'yo," I said as tears roll down my eyes. I was crying heavily. Sobra. He couldn't stop me. I was crying because of so many things. I really got scared, I thought I'd be losing him, and because I was happy I was with him that moment. "Next time, hayaan mo na, a? Kuwintas lang 'yun."
"Kuwintas mo 'yun, e. Lahat gagawin ko para sa 'yo."
"It's not worth risking your life."
"It's worth risking my life for you."
And tears just flowed freely. Until now, whenever I think about what happened, I still feel like crying. Everyday, he proves how much he loves me. But this tops it all. I can't believe this is HOW MUCH he loves me. What I realized though is that I really love him much, as well. Di ko kakayanin pag nawala siya sa buhay ko.

SMS with Oliver

Vehr: happy birthday! tanda na natin 'no!
Jheck (thru chikka): thank u! oo nga e... medyo na-bo-bother na ko with the fact that we're fast approaching 30. at least una kayo ng isang taon kaysa sa kin. hehe.
Vehr: oo nga eh, ky lang tlagang gnun. klangang dumaan dun. mas maganda p kung malampasan p ntin un. nkktkot lng kc prng wlng major changes, puro minor p lng.
Jheck: siguro kailangan lang maging pursigido sa buhay. pero malay natin, during the 30s dumating yung talagang success. as long as di pa tayo mamatay...
Vehr: minsan nga prng mas masarap isipin un 2nd lyf kc ang hirap ng nag-aalala. at least dun wl ng hirap. pro minsan hahanapin dn ntin un chalenj khit gno kbigat.
Jheck: sympre depende un kung san ka makakarating sa 2nd life mo, pero wala mang problema run, makakayanan mo bang ndi makasama ang mga mahal mo sa buhay? i'd rather suffer with them beside me than be happy alone...
Vehr: un nga, db sbi dn kung cno ang magmahal ng sobra s knyng buhay ay syang mwwlan ni2 & vice. we jas hav 2 acept lyf as 8 cums. que sera2.
Jheck: ei! be positive! if you truly wish/pray hard enough, things would go your way. we're still in the first quarter of the year at marami pang ang pwedeng mangyari. be it positive or not, it'd be a learning experience!
Vehr: e2 sugestion lng, minsan nlng tyo mgkita2, sn mgkaron tyo tym pagusapan buhay2, kc s bar d tyo mkkpagusap, maingay. syang pgkakataon ntin.
Jheck: a un ba gusto mo? pde naman nating gawin yan anytime. masyado ka lang kcng tahimik tuwing nagkikita tayo. di pa naman sigurado ung pdeng mangyari this sat. ang sakit kc ng binti ko. two weeks na pero mas sumakit kagabi. di ako makapaglakad ng malayo. lets see if the pain would subside. gusto ko rin kc ung enjoy ako (supposedly "tayo"). bihira rin naman tayong lumabas ng ganun. lagi na lang tayo dito sa bahay. siguro we could go to tia maria's na lang if ever.
Vehr: sugestion lng nmn un, mtgal p sat, gagaling din yan, ako nga hinabol ng aso, gani2 kataas un bakod. lam mo nb un reunion daw? c ley dw orgnzr, wan ko kung 22o.
Jheck: sana nga gumaling na by sat. two weeks na kcng ganito o. di ko siya ma-bend. si joey nagbanggit ng reunion thru friendster. si leigh na mag-oorganize?
Vehr: un ang balita ko, ky lng prng cla2 lng ang nkakaalam. pnatingin mo nb yan s doc? bk klangan n ng PT nyan.
Jheck: ndi pa. pinapakiramdaman ko pa. oo nga, yaan mo na sila. kung yun ang gusto nila e. paano kaya nila kokontakin yung iba?
Vehr: 2 wks n pnpkiramdaman p rin, medyo mtgal n yan. bhala n cla bk m2lad lng dun s nauna dati. ptingin mo n, bk klangan ng masahe, malamang.
Jheck: pabalik-balik kasi. kala ko dahil luma na ung sapatos ko. manipis na swelas. kaya bumili ako bago. kagabi lang talagang tumindi. sana makalabas ng maaga si alam para maaga rin tayong makapagkita.
Vehr: malabo. hahabol na lng kmi.
--end--
Now that I've read them once more, I felt somehow overwhelmed. The way Vehr talks about death as if it is just lurking around. I guess, he must be truly in turmoil these days. Not having a job would really irk someone up. Plus, we don't exactly know what has been going through his life these days...

Subject: Re: Little Things
Arnel,
Thank you for finding time to greet me. I appreciate that.
When I told Than-than to tell you my response re your last effort, I meant it. "Pag-iisipan ko," were my exact words. I don't know though if Than-than told you those exact words. I believe (and I feel) that you are sincere with your apologies this time and I am grateful for that. The thing is, I don't make the decisions alone anymore. I have to consider the feelings of Biboy, my boyfriend for two years now, re this matter. He knows what had happened to us. Or, I guess, my part of the story. When I asked him if it would be okay with him if we (you and I) could be friends again, he said no. And I respect that.
I hope that you wouldn't take it the wrong way. Or would take it against Biboy. He has the right to not agree with my decision since I've asked him. Frankly, just the idea hurt him. It had hurt me, too, that I hurt him with that. I've done so many mistakes in the past and I don't wanna make another more that would hurt him or jeopardize my relationship with him. Aside from that, he knows how much I went through with what what happened between us and he wants to protect me.
It's not a matter of saying that you're already "too late" in making amends with the past. It is just, "it is not yet the proper time". I am not closing my doors to reconciliation neither do Biboy. Again, it isn't just the right time. When will the right time be? I don't know...
Hindi naman sa nagmamatigas ako o nag-iinarte. I hope that you would understand that I'm in a different situation now. If I am in a different circumstance, we could talk about things anytime we want to. But I have to consider many things now. I don't know how else I could explain it to you so I hope you got my point.
Also, please stop asking Elma or Than-than to help you with me. It is jeopardizing their relationship with Biboy. He was truly hurt with what Than-than did and felt somehow betrayed by him. The last thing I want to happen is for him to have this rift amongst the people I care for and love.
Again, thank you very much for the greeting.
Jheck.
P.S. For what its worth, I accept your apology. But let's just keep it that way for the meantime...

Arnel,
Thank you for finding time to greet me. I appreciate that.
When I told Than-than to tell you my response re your last effort, I meant it. "Pag-iisipan ko," were my exact words. I don't know though if Than-than told you those exact words. I believe (and I feel) that you are sincere with your apologies this time and I am grateful for that. The thing is, I don't make the decisions alone anymore. I have to consider the feelings of Biboy, my boyfriend for two years now, re this matter. He knows what had happened to us. Or, I guess, my part of the story. When I asked him if it would be okay with him if we (you and I) could be friends again, he said no. And I respect that.

Hi Jheck,
musta na?
I hope everything is fine with you.
Happy Birthday nga pala...
I hope one day you'll give me a chance na makausap ka.
Nahihiya na ako kila Than2 at Elma.. kaya siguro thru this email
I would be able to ask you personally.
Let's talk.
We've been friends for a long time and I knew I destroyed what we've built for years.
Ang dami ko pang gustong sabihin but I rather wait till we see each other.
We never really expressed what we truly feel inside. Kahit me sama tayo ng
loob sa isa't isa we never really argued. lagi na lang tayo nakikiramdam sa nararamdaman ng bawat isa.
It's about time we tell each other face to face kung ano talaga ang sama ng
loob natin.
I am really sorry Jheck for what I've done.
I was swallowed by my selfishness and pride.
Things happened to me which I never expected. Both good and bad.
It took me a lot of effort to rebuild myself and it would not be complete if your not back in my life.
I would only be truly happy if I see the four of us sitting together in a coffee shop and talking.
Just tell me the time and place where you are most comfortable.
usap tayo.
Oo nga pala, I read this email and I can't help but think of you.
Jheck, I'm sorry - I was wrong.
and please give me the chance to tell you this personally.
Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
too see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the
Little things in life
that mean a lot.
Give a little thanks to
the people who mean a lot!!

"The Phantom of the Opera" Experience
I saw "The Phantom of the Opera" premiere tonight at Robinson's Galleria. It was courtesy of Jen Pimentel from Sony-BMG Philippines. She was the one who handled the whole event.Initially, Jen reserved three tickets for us: Than-than, Biboy, and me. But I asked her if she could squeezed two more tickets because I wanted to bring Elma and Jay, too, to see the movie. She said that she would try. Yesterday, I tried asking her again re the extra tickets and she said okay. Unfortunately though, Elma and Jay couldn't make it because the latter was sick. Biboy tried looking for people who could take their places. It was only Liezel who would was able to make it.
I could ask some of the barkada like Epoy or Oliver but I didn't. I thought that it'd be better if Biboy, this time, could be with his friends. At least I'd get to meet them, as well. Sayang nga lang at si Liezel lang ang pumuwede.
Anyway, before Biboy and I went to Galleria, we first went to Megamall to buy me a pair of shoes. Ilang linggo ko na ring inirereklamo 'yung luma kong sapatos. Feeling ko, siya 'yung dahilan kung bakit sumasakit yung kanan kong paa at binti. We tried looking for new shoes during the SM North mall sale but we couldn't find the size of my chosen shoes (Dickies). Ayoko kasi ng rubber shoes. At last, we were able to buy a pair of Swatch Seaside sneakers. I immediately put them on and my the old Swatch Seaside shoes into the box. My right foot was relieved of its pain. However, all the pain went into my leg. Oh, god! The pain was more horrible than before since I really couldn't bend my leg. I had to struggle my way through Megamall to Galleria. Biboy was insisting that I should consult a doctor re my condition. Two weeks na rin kasing ganito. Sa tuwing maglalakad ako ng malayo, sumasakit.
When Biboy and I reached Galleria, we went to Popeye's after meeting up with Liezel at Mini Stop downstairs. I took a pill of Alaxan and was able to rest. For awhile, the pain disappeared.
Than-than arrived at around 7-ish. It was such an awkward experience since Biboy swear that he wouldn't talk to him unless mawala yung sama ng loob niya re the whole Arnel incident. So, he didn't. Even if Than-than asked him some things a couple of times. I don't know if Than-than had noticed it but he sure kept his distance from us the whole time we were together.
After the movie, the pain started again. Siguro nalamigan ng husto. Kala ko nga di na ko makakauwi because I was really holding on to Biboy while we were going down. Imagine, we were on the 4th floor! Buti na lang at may escalators pa. Dahil pag wala, whoo! I wouldn't know what to do. Sinuggest na nga ni Biboy na buhatin ako, e. Hehehe.
On the bus, I have asked daddy to fetch us (Than-than and I since Biboy and Liezel went on their separate way from Galleria) in Fatima because it was really excruciating! Pagkauwi ko, medyo nabawasan naman 'yung sakit. Feeling ko, yung mismong sapatos (any shoes for that matter) ang nagpapalala ng sakit. Kasi nung hinubad ko, nabawasan siya.
My concern now is the gimmick on Saturday. I have to wear sandals and I shouldn't walk too far. Ang balak ko pa naman (tentative) ay kumain sa "Yellow Cab Pizza" in Mabini then go find a bar in Malate. I guess, mas okay kung sa Morato na lang since tabi-tabi lang ang bars at andun na rin 'yung isang branch ng "YCP". Or worst, just ask the barkada to come here at home and celebrate. Di naman kasi pwedeng ipagliban dahil aalis na sina Babes at Ricky on the 21st. Sayang naman kung hindi namin sila makakasama sa gimmick. Birthday na rin naman ni Babes sa 18th.
Bahala na. I'd know in a few days. I just have to wait till the pain fully subsides...
P.S.
Amongst all the pain though, t'was sooooo good seeing Brad Turvey in person! Biboy caught my attention when he passed by us at Popeye's. We thought that he'd seeing the movie but he didn't. He hosted the event since RX 93.1 was one of the sponsors. I asked Jen jokingly if I could bring him home with me. Hahaha! Wish hard!

Meet the Parents (For Real!)
Today, Biboy's parents and daddy met. This wasn't the first time though. They have met a couple of times when they (Mr. & Mrs. Siddayao) bring Angel home after spending a week vacation with them. But today, they have spent a couple of minutes together and have talked. I don't know what they have talked about though since I wasn't eavesdropping.
How did it happen?
I went to SM North Edsa with daddy after mass. I'd be getting the three pair of pants (two for me and one for Biboy) that Biboy and I bought last Friday (start of the 3-Day Sale). We left them for alteration. Meanwhile, Biboy and his parents also went there because they'd be buying a digital camera. They have chosen a Canon digicam that costs PhP34,500. They've learned that they could pay it in an installment basis without interest using HSBC credit card. Since they don't have any and I have one, Biboy texted me and asked me if they could used mine. So, after a few minutes, I met up with them. Only that the transaction was cancelled because my card was already over its limit and they didn't want to pay an additional thousand bucks if we'd be using another credit card.
How did it feel?
Hmmm... T'was kinda weird (I don't know if it was the proper word.) seeing them together, talking. But I was quite confident that they wouldn't be talking about Biboy and me. It was such an informal set-up. We were even standing the whole time we were together. Of course, Biboy and I just kept a safe distance between us. We didn't talk much nor made any movements that would give them suspicions about our relationship.
My only concern though is when they would get together alone without us. Daddy have talked about meeting with Mr. Siddayao's officemates re the product he was endorsing. They said that they'd be scheduling something up and Mr. Siddayao even gave daddy his calling card. If that happens, that would really be scary since if it were up to him, Mr. Siddayao might've totally prevented Biboy from seeing me...
