“To being
together,
To making things
better.
To being with each
other,
Whatever the weather.”
Weekends
are something I look forward to and not because I won’t go to work (because
honestly, I love my work), but because I’d get to see E again. As most of you
know, we live in Pampanga (I work here too), but he works in Mandaluyong so we
only get to see each other on weekends.
A lot of people
would look at our Facebook profiles and say that we look like the perfect modern-day
couple, but the truth is we’re far from being one. There were times when we won’t
get along because we’re still two different individuals, but what matters more
is how we know that it’s all part of a relationship. And as much as falling in
love is easy, relationships aren’t. They’re not supposed to be. Nothing in life
that’s good is supposed to come easy.
How do we
deal with things? Well, we both had to make a bit of adjustments in ourselves.
We can’t just say, “this is me so deal
with it.” Because if that’s how you view things, you aren’t ready to be in a
relationship yet. However, it also doesn’t mean you should expect your partner
to fully change. Adjusting is different from changing. For example, as I’m
typing this, E is making me a sandwich even though he was already about to
sleep. I have my period and I’m feeling so irritated and extra hungry. I said I’ll
be making a sandwich, but what he did was he got up, asked me to relax, and went
on to make me a sandwich. He wasn’t used to doing this. He wasn’t cheesy at all
when I first met him. We were both very practical, straight-forward, and honest
about our expectations. But somehow, he became softer and more caring. He goes
out of his way just to give me what I need and what I want. He became more
sensitive to what I’m feeling, more forgiving when I do something clumsy, and
more patient with my mood swings whenever I’d be stressed. He didn’t change, he
just adjusted. And yes, I’ve adjusted to, but I don’t need to talk about that.
I’d rather appreciate him more.
Another
thing he had to adjust to was learning how to take good photos of me for my
blog and Instagram. And now you see the product of his training here! Hahaha!

These were taken on one of our Sundates. Yes, we
still regularly go out on dates and we love trying out new food in Pampanga. Every
date is an adventure with him and I love how he tries to make every moment we
spend a memorable one. Sure there are not-so-good times when we had to argue
about something, but somehow, someone would stand up and be the bigger person
just so we can settle things. And the best part of it is that it’s not just one
person. There had already been a balance in our relationship and it’s because
we wanted it and decided on it. It’s not just an act of love, but also an act
of maturity that we’ve developed together.
Here’s to
more Sundates, love!
Love this look!! Perfect for weekend.
