Today is Mr. & Mrs. Cruz's diamond wedding anniversary and I got invited kaya nag papaganda- I mean maganda na ako pero mas nagpapaganda pa. Dapat ako ang pinakamagandang guest nila doon. While I'm on my robe ay inaayusan ko na 'yung face ko. Skin care, primer, foundation, contour, setting powder, a lil eye shadow, mascara, blush, setting spray, bright red lip, and of course my favorite, champaign highlighter.
"Done." Tumayo ako para kunin at suotin na ang damit ko. I chose a royal blue jumpsuit with long-wide pants and an sleevless-backless halter with plunge neck, you know that's my thing showing-off my cleavage...
"That's the sad part here, you're not mine."
Nnag dahil naisip ko 'yung cleavage naalala ko tuloy mga katarantaduhan kahapon ni Ieous. Trantado talaga 'yun, napaka mapang-asar! Ano, porket gumanda na ako parang gusto niya pa ako landiin. HUh, ano kala niya sa akin marupok? Aba! Hindi siya si Chris Evans para i-spread ko 'yung legs ko 'no.
On the contrary, I did spread my legs everytime we meet, tanga ako. Hay nako. Pero kilala ko si Ieous, hindi ako napapaikot nun sa mga insincere lines niya.
After ko suotin 'yung damit ko ay kinuha ko na 'yung pouch ko at ang dalawaang invitation na katabi nito. Dalawa kasi if ever may ka-date or kasama pero hello, single ako so medyo unintentionally na nabastos ako ng mag-asawa. Anyway, dadalhin ko na lang pati 'yung isa. Bumaba na ako dahil naghihintay na 'yung driver ko sa baba.

"Thank you Michael, I'll just contact you if magpapasundo na ako." I smiled at him. Iniwan ko na lang 'yung isang invitation card kasi hindi ko naman alam kung bakit ko pa dinala.
"Sige po ma'am." He smiled back at me. Lumabas na ako at pumasok.

"Invitation please." pinakita ko 'yung hinihingi niya. He stepped aside to give way for me.
Well, lagi naman ako late so nag re-reminisce na sina Mr. and Mrs. Cruz. May nakita akong table na walang tao kaya doon na lang ako pumwesto.
"I also want to mention, my closest friends that are now in heaven, Osing and Maria." Napukaw ang atensyon ko sa nagsasalitang Mrs. Cruz nang mabanggit niya ang mga pangalan ng kumupkop sa akin.
"Alam niyo, they played a huge role between my loving husband. They became our love bridge. They introduced love to me and helped me to see what qualities of love. Just want to share that, I am a well reserved woman and afraid of love. Ingacio is not my first boyfriend, I used to date a guy from UST and very babaero. I was blind back then that even though alam ko na he's cheating behind my back, I always accepts him because I was deeply in love with him. Afraid that he would get tired of me and leave me, I almost gave my virginity. The day he broke-up with me, I offered my body pero he did not accept it. Sabi ko, why? Hindi ba't ito naman din ang iyong ginagawa sa mga babae habang tayo ay magnobyo at nobya? Only to find out that he finally found the perfect person for him, yes, he fell in love. He never loved me and I knew that. I was deeply hurt kaya natakot na ako mag mahal ulit." Huh, pathetic bastard ito lang naman sinayang mo, very successful woman.
"But love comes for the second time around. Love mend broken-hearts. Love gives hope. Love gives smiles and laughter. Love gives trust. Love is very unexpected... and so my love, is my husband Ignacio. Ignacio gives happiness. Ignacio gives life. I hope you find your own love everyone, please enjoy the night. Thank you for coming." We all clapped. That was a very cute and stirring speech.
Find your own love, I think hindi madali 'yon. Love doesn't pop-out that quickly.
"Love is sexy. Love is beautiful. Love is bold. Love is slow-witted. My love is wearing a royal blue jumpsuit."
