Chapter 28 Valentines

dont mind the picture... Yves took it and he focuses on New York City and not us...

Yes... Valentines Day... A day of Hearts, Chocolate, and flowers are put together... it is friendship day to people who are still single...

but for my intentions it was Valentines...

Last week i had so much plans for this day to come thinking on what to give.. how creative should it be... thinking would she like it... would she be surprise by it... so here are the options that i gave to myself...

1st: to make a dozen of origami rose flowers which actually failed because it was too hard...
2nd: a picture of a dozen flowers wrapped around and put in stick.. it failed too because it was too complicated...
3rd: Apples wrapped around with hearts and it say "your my apple of my heart" and "an apple a day keeps the doctor away have a happy healthy Valentines but also failed due to procastination..
4th: Go to Jolibee which is going to open on Feb 14 and buy her a bucket of jolibee best chicken, the chickenjoy, which she likes and put flowers on the side and a half a dozen flowers... this time succeeded...

so this is the story... at around 9:30am we arrive in 63rd st. queens blvd to buy some jolibee but the line was long and waited for it to subside.. but unfortunately it didn't it went from bad to worst... so at 10:30pm i waited in line a block away from Jolibee...

After an enduring freezing 3hours of waiting i was in the door that says jolibee and jolibee was standing outside frozen where the gates of burger, chicken and mango peach pie are in sanctuary.... finally i entered the door felt the warmth of air inside and moved to the next level which was the ordering of the orders... it took 25mins just to take my order and another 25 mins to get my order...

my God what you do when your in love... you go a 110% sacrifice...

finally i got my order and dash towards the door and Yves was standing there waiting for me to bring him, his peach mango pie... then we drove towards the jersey city using brooklyn-queens expressway to go home... then we arrive in Jersey city and forgot to buy flowers...

so we took a detour towards grove ave. and bought roses in Mr. Lee's flower shop and drove towards Reservior, where the people who are beautiful and kind are... except Joseph, the filipina lady in the second flr of kats house and the big fat guy on top of Jacq's place..

we brought the food and the flowers up... i tied the fake roses in the handle of the bucket of chickenjoy to make it more valentine-y... and brought this heavenly bucket and enchanting red rose to the Goddess which will be embarking at 4:30pm...

as i went down the stairways of Kats place.. my heart was throbbing faster... shaking then finally i held my ground in the door of Jacq's place and took my cellphone out and dialed the number of Jacq...

it was ringing "ring, ring, ring, elo!" the sound of her voice picked up the phone.. and i said "can you go down for a minute, may bibigay ako"...

"heeh, ok" she said...

then as she open the door that separates us... she saw the flowers and the bucket... she made the "you shouldn't have" face expression.. and finally i said my line

"Happy Valentines, Jacq" and gave her the flowers and the bucket with i recieved a kiss in the cheeks and a hug...

after i gave her the two enchating gifts.. she invited me to the movie with Cha and Jen... how can i refuse an invitation from her... so i said sure...

so i went to Kat's house and ate those juicy, covered gravyed burger steak which filled my stomach... she called me at 5pm and said

"oh tara na".. so i went down and we walked towards the bus stop... we talked about her test results...then finally the bus arrived and we hop in....

The bus ride was fun... we talked about Jolibee and how to get there by train or by car... she joked around about the 2$, 3$, 5$ toll fee that she always say... i didnt care about anything she kid about me because she was smiling and that's all..

my eyes couldnt leave her beautiful face everytime she smiles or laugh...

after that we went down at newport mall.. when she said im going to pay for your bus fare...
i was like "waaah"? then "ok" then "thanks" it was very weird that i was skipping every word...

so went down and went inside JC penney and she was telling about Pau's gift to her, the stripe sweater and was laughing... and she was saying that she never bought anything in JCpenney which eventually lead to "i haven't bought anything too"... so Cha was calling Jacq because Cha is scared to be too alone haaha..

so anyways we met Cha in Forever 21 and window shop alittle, went to GAP and we were so unsure where to go that we were joking that we Kat here to know where to go and laugh.. we went up and bought the tickets because it was a Saturday night and the combination of Valentines equals waiting therefore to avoid waiting we bought the tickets earlier which was a smart idea.. so we met Jen down outside Journeys and Sephora... then we went up to watch the movie which was...

a chick flick movie "he is not into you"... which was a real good movie to watch.. i've learn alot too about relationships and all.. I hate Cha and Jen in the movie because of the fact their were to obvious!

they were like "oh popits sit beside Jacq oh" lol which made me uncomfortable and just sat next to Jen... so that what happened inside of the movie house...

after the movie we were bored so we went to Babo... Jacq and Jen ordered coffee, Cha ordered Pineapple ice tea with pearl shakes inside and i ordered a seasoned beef noodles which took like forever to get to me..

so they were discussing about what time will they be going home and that it's going to be scary and i was like thinking i'll bring Jacq home first kasi Jen and Cha lives close by... but a smarter idea was to smses Kat and Yves...

So i texted them where they are... and asked them if they want to hangout in Babo.. they told me that they are going to eat first then text me if we are still here in Babo...

so everyone was safe and sound...

finally Kat and Yves arrive and everyone was like relieve that they dont need to commute home was happy...

so we chatted and took pictures and of course i took pictures of Jacq too... then the Babo girl told us that they were about to close so we left and went in the pier to take some pictures... and Cha and Jen was at it again.. telling me and Jacq to post "para daw" dates hahaha but unfortnunately Yves screwed up the picture and its like that... so we went home and brought Jen first then Cha then Jacq and Kat then me.....



but before Yves and I left the reservior place... there was..... an alone time with jacq... it was more than 10mins that we were alone outside the house waiting for Yves and Kat to go down and bring the gravy to jacq and take me home...

My head was full of things that my heart want to say right there but i was scared... I was looking at her... opening my mouth... closing it... then look at the clouds... then look at her again until the cycle repeats itself..

then finally i said to her "grabe ang lamig ngayon noh"
and she said "yeah, grabe"
then Kat and Yves went out of the house...
then we said our good byes... hugged kat and Jacq
entered the car with the regret of not telling her...
