I am the secret that you keep; MISS SCARLET.

The signal is subtle
We pass just close enough to touch
No questions, no answers
We know by now to say enough
With only simple words
With only subtle turns
The things we feel alone for one another

There is a secret that we keep
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
We are compelled to do what we must do
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

cheesy sweets

so yesterday was the 14th. and i had a nice LONG lunch with eric. gosh, it's been months since i saw you. and it jogged my memory as to why we always have super long conversations! it was fun - next week again! yay.

city hall was packed with office women carrying and adorning flowers, balloons, gifts and all things (almost) sickeningly sweet. we went into billabong to check out if they had new and nice stuff, and just before heading out, eric came up to me and said, "i think i'm past my billabong phase." and i asked, "are you sure?"

this guy has a whole section in his wardrobe just overloaded with billabong surfer shorts. he was crazy for the brand towards the end of last semester, it was insane. -_-

and his reply was, "no." i was just amused. hah.

then, the moment we stepped out of the store, there stood a lady in office wear. and unfortunately for us, we had to witness her squealing welcome when she saw her partner walk up to her with a bouquet of flowers.

lady: "EEEE!!! you got this for MEEEE???" (grinning insanely)
partner: *cheesily walking over to her, hand with bouquet stretched out, with a goofy grin plastered to his damn face*

me and eric just stared at the couple, walked on and gave each other that knowing look. we both knew what the other was thinking. i felt like smacking my forehead.

i just had to get out of that overly-stuffed-with-mushy-couples place. it wasn't 'city hall' that day - it was 'cheesy hall'. *barf*

am i happy that my own boy is cynical about valentine's and is irked by how consumerism has overtaken the meaning of love?
partly yes and no.

but we get by with our way of showing our affection for one another on that day. so far, it's been only dinner dates. but the company is priceless! :)

thanks honey, especially for now.
