She asked her: "How long are you planning to annoy (court) me?"

He replied: "If you allow me to court (annoy) you forever, I will."

That was seven years ago.

If promises were meant to be broken, his case is the exception. He never failed doing annoying acts (which in time she find as sweet gestures).

From writing songs (which she find incoherently arranged), to being her personal driver who fetch her at 7am to bring her to the office, fetch her again at 5pm so that she may catch law classes at 6pm and waited 3-4 hours to bring her home again at 9pm with a complimentary dinner. He picked little red flowers in a park where flower pickers are being apprehended for the sake of giving her flowers that would match her dress. He is the President of her fans club. When she asked him: "Why are you doing all this?". He replied: "I am very selfish. It makes me happy."


He made friends with the people she love. He courted not only her but also the people around her. He find time to treat her friends a cup of ice cream, a fast food meal, or anything that would gain their friendship as well. He studied her family's profile and made sure that everytime he travels he can buy something for them. She told him: "You don't have to befriend them." He replied: "I envy you because you have them. Can you please share them to me?"

Lately, the promise he made was reaffirmed. For three consecutive months, she is receiving a bouquet of flowers, all from Designer Blooms (which she think as very extravagant and a waste of money) and again with complimentary gifts (a teddy bear, a box of chocolates, an ice cream cake). She asked him: "We're no longer in highschool, you don't have to send me flowers. Flowers are for puppy lovers." He replied: "If you are happy receiving flowers, I will do that forever."

She's happy. :)

Seminar loving happens so fast... lalalalalala..

Funny thing about conferences, there will be a lot of opportunity for you to meet people and most of the time you meet someone who likely shares the same interest and then you share a lot of happy moments during the conference..

After the workshops, delegates usually explore the city or go to the bars or malls nearby and from there you can decipher who has some involvement with his co-delegates..the set-up is known to be "SEMINAR LOVING".

During this conference in Jakarta, I've seen two couples.

The group being Liberals never mind if the couples were missing sometime during the conference or they are blatantly displaying public affection or they are doing some HHWW (as in holding hands while walking) or they be sure seatmates at the bus. All were just happy noticing their sweetness and all.

The sad part is when the seminar is over. It was heartbreaking to see their "parting time". I've seen how they said goodbye and it was like a tragedy in a romanic novel where lovers has no choice but to be apart from each other.One went home in his Christian country and the other has to stay in her Muslim city. The other couple is yet to have another day in Jakarta and though I cannot witness their own parting time because my flight is ahead of them, I can imminently feel the sadness in the air.

Hmmm...I'm not talking for myself huh?! It's just that seeing the two couples made me feel a little bit nostalgic. I once experienced "seminar loving" seven years ago and I'm grateful that until now there is yet no "parting time" for us and I'm hopeful that there will be no such.

Friendster Horoscope for November 26, 2007
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

The Bottom Line
Start exploring what's out there. Remind yourself that a career change is possible.

In Detail
If amping up you career isn't on the top of your 'to do' list right now, then it should be -- especially today, when your yearning for something more challenging sounds loud and clear. That urge is getting tired of being ignored! So do yourself a favor by checking out a few employment websites. Start exploring what's out there, and what you may want. Remind yourself that change is possible, if you want it badly enough. Night school may be the missing link to what you want.

just to let you know.

This week was terribly like hell for me. I had the longest day of 52 hours without sleep, watching Lola Amanda recover from her renal failure and doing the court work on office hours. It was hard reading rollos with your eyes really giving up. Plus the pressure of the Boss that I have to finish his materials for the IBP MCLE and the powerpoint in one day. Thank God! I managed keeping may sanity.

I am in Jakarta at the moment for some organizational work. Left the Philippine concerns with a feeling of guilt. My bestfriend Noni will be arriving on the 26th and Gil might come home as well on the next few days, it would be bad not to welcome home two important persons in my life.

I'm thinking too much. Sign of aging.

At the end of the day, I still thought: "I'm so lost. Will I find myself in Jakarta?"
