verna called this morning...
they went out - tinits, verna and maleen and started talking about the changes to expect in the coming year.. like this is the year where people either plan to get married, get married, or initiate major changes in their respective careers..
my friends do not believe that i'm really getting married. at least that's what they tell me. they won't believe until they actually see me at the altar.
whatever.
so napa kwento. about last night....
----------
olie was delayed from work coz ESF asked him to do something and it has to be finished within the day. ESF will be on leave today so he has to submit it to AVD yesterday. we were able to leave the office by 630.
we picked up mama from her office. on the way home, we saw a falling star/ shooting star/ meteor.. whatever. basta it was a bright light falling.
olie said we should have dinner. as i was parking at pancake house at Petron SLEX, mama commented na sa Jollibee na lang.. however, we still proceded to pancake house.
mama was so ma chika.. from the activities of her religious org/s, her meeting that day at DOJ, the 25th anniversary of PNU, her sister, the nun's activities, previous and future experiences with Visita Iglesias....
as you can imagine, olie had a hard time finding the right moment to inform her of our intentions. i was incessantly kicking his shin for him to make the move. "How did you know", our song, was even played in the radio. we have all finished eating and still nothing. finally, i was resigned that it wasn't happening tonight so i asked the waiter to pack the leftovers and give the bill. once we were paid, olie started with,"Mama, magpapalam po sana kami. Magpapakasal na po kami..." and it appeared that mama didn't understand what he had said so he had to repeat himself adding,"matagal pa naman ho... February 2006".
suffice it to say that mama wasn't enthusiastic.. i remembered bits and pieces of her comments..
- sigurado ba kayo?
- naku hindi biru-biro yan.
- marunong ka na ba magluto? (me daw!)
- sasabihin ni daddy mo sa bahay na lang kayo gumastos.. dun tutulungan nun kayo.. yun yung hilig nya..
- wala kasi sa kanila na gusto sa pampanga.. eh may lupa dun.. un sa katarungan 225. pero paghatian sa 3. hindi ko alam kung paano.. kausapin ko muna si daddy mo..
- naku, simple na lang...
- saan nyo ba balak? naalala mo ba un pag sa pampanga, buong barangay... wag din dito sa atin sa village at buong village...
- some kwento about vivien's wedding ang her officemate who was also planning a wedding
- (when i told her na sa SOJ at Reclamation, Pasay).. konti nga makakarating
- eh anu bang restaurant meron dun sa roxas blvd? sa Aristocrat na lang...
- ako tatahimik na lang... para di marami mag comment about the invites
- close family and friends na lang
- abay bahala kayo
- ayoko pag usapan.. dagdag pa na iisipin ko
- buti na lang busog na ako.. mukhang lalabas pa ung kinain ko...
ganun ba talga kasama un balita namin? huhuhuhu.. napa cry talga kami ni olie... while driving and until we got home i was weeping.. i really felt bad na ganun reaction nya..
---------------
i still feel bad today, but decisive in informing papa nman later. we are going home early to make sure he is awake when we get there.
---------------
on the happy side, we will have Eddie Boy Escudero for our 1st prenup pictorial on the 13th of february at UP Diliman, 4pm. :-)
