Hi!
I'm on my day 4 of the 30-Day Blogging Challenge of 
Single but not Available
Yes. I am single. But I am not available. I've been on a relationship for a decade and a month.
On mid-May, it sprang
Two souls under the moonlight
On a sailing ship
With the tide of life and love
Steered a decade towards more
How we met
We were both an ECE student but we were not classmates until the major subjects. He was a Block 98 and I was a Block 100. It's like a section because there were 80 freshmen enrolled in ECE. There were gatherings intended for the freshmen and also, the ECE students from 1st year to 5th year or more. My mother didn't allow me to join the acquaintance party which was held in one of the beaches in Naawan. Then, another gathering was held, but it was scheduled at night. Again, I didn't attend because I have a curfew and the last jeepney trip was at 7:00 PM. Moreso, our path didn't cross for the first and second months, until the Palakasan season in our school.
It is an annual event where the students of different schools and colleges in our university are competing such as literary, cultural, and sports. I didn't know that there was a Pop dance so I auditioned in the cheerleading team instead. He also auditioned. We met when the practice started. We were four freshmen in the team; one was my classmate (Block 100) and she was also his classmate in high school (Philippine Science). That's when we became friends because freshmen should stick together in difficult times.
Friends until next year
We became friends. Even when the Palakasan ended, we were still together. He would always invite me to eat with his classmates both in high school and even in college. He was a DOST scholar, so whenever he received his allowance, he would always invite me to eat. He would ask first what I want to eat, until know he always asks me first. Sometimes, we study together, especially in Mathematics. HE IS AN INTELLIGENT MAN!
We talked about things even problems in life and love life. He had a crush on one of my classmates in high school, and I had a crush on someone on the first day of school. And it turned out he was one of his acquaintances, so he introduced me to him and him to my friend.
When Christmas break was over, our routine was the same. We ate together with his classmates then, all of a sudden, he was not talking to me. He kept on ignoring me, and it lasted for two weeks, I guess, or maybe three. It was so frustrating. With that, I ate with my classmates but sometimes, I ate alone.
We had a confrontation, and he confessed that he was mad because we became friends with his friend. He was ignoring me because he wanted to end it. I was puzzled and at the same time, I was mad. Why would he be mad when he was the one who offered to introduce me to him, right? And he also had a crush on my friend. So, he confessed again that it was just an alibi, so from anger to laughter. Yes, I laughed. It was a serious moment, but I laughed.
He officially courted me for five months. (Partially courted for four months, if it was still counted.) He wanted to go to our house to ask permission, but I don't want him to. I know my mother would tease me. I don't like being teased. I always got mad when she kept on saying, "Tell him to bring flowers and chocolates for me." or "When will your boyfriend show up?". My mother loves to annoy me until now.
When my whole family went to the city, he invited himself and showed up in front of my mother and father. My mother was smiling, but my father was a poker face. I was sweating so hard because my father's words were, "Finish your study, have a stable job then that's the time you can have a boyfriend.". While my mother's version was, "You can have a boyfriend while studying. Just remember to finish your study and be successful someday. You're the eldest. Your sisters will follow your steps. Don't mind your father. He's a KJ. (killjoy)
Our Relationship
A lot of people told us that we looked like a 'barkada' (close friend) when together and I find it as a compliment. We've been through ups and downs, through thick and thin. I've always wondered why I am in engineering when I've always wanted to be a doctor. I was not able to achieve my dream job since I was a kid but God gave me Anthony, my present, and my future. (CHEESY!)
We've experienced breakups, long-distance relationship, and we also became colleagues. We were once told that if we will not get married in our tenth year, our relationship will come to an end. It was definitely an awkward situation where my colleagues were all present. But, I beg to differ. If your relationship is with God then a decade or more is possible until He allows us to. We met too soon, but our next chapter will wait in His perfect time. We should grow separately so that in the succeeding chapter, we will grow together harmoniously.
His Version
He said that we met once in a gathering when we were in high school. His classmate introduced him to me. He remembered and even described and stated some of the people who were present. But I don't remember that he was present in the said event.
So yes! That's the end of this cheesy blog.
