Scott. That’s his name. He was a co-worker whose desk sat next to mine. He would often come in the morning greeting everyone including me. He would then ask if I had breakfast already and if not could I join him downstairs. I would often come in earlier than him so that would mean I already had breakfast by the time he came in. So I would politely decline his offer and would concentrate on work.

One time, it was around December if I am not mistaken, he asked me if I was doing anything that night. I said I was not sure but I might do some shopping. He said that it’s perfect as he would like to ask me to help him pick a gift for his parents’ wedding anniversary. Probably seeing hesitation on my face, he said that he would buy me dinner and drop me off my house after.

I declined.

I was creeped out! Why would he ask me to accompany him to shop for a gift for his parents when I didn’t even know him that well? We were not friends. We were not close. Why me?

And then years later it hit me. He wanted to go out with me!

Darn stupid me!

Did I mention that he’s one good-looking man? And clean-looking, too! He smelled good and though he was tardy, he’s one fine male specimen. I could have taken a bite or two.

Argh!

Andrea is currently inside her bathroom sitting in her bathtub with a purifying mud mask on her face. She is preparing for a romantic night out with her husband. He called up before noon to tell her that he managed to book them a room at a newly opened five-star hotel. Of course, she got excited! She’s been telling him how she wants to experiencing staying in the luxury hotel and her husband remembered!

She knows that it’s his mother’s day gift to her. She’s aware that he’s trying so hard to think of a good gift he can give her and he’s once again managed to give her something that she truly wants to have.

What a wonderful hubby she has!

I saw an update in Facebook by a really good friend of mine. He is now living far away from the city with his wife and two sons. His eldest is my godson and I haven’t seen them in a long time. If not for Facebook, I won’t see the progress in my godson’s life.

I feel guilty that I have been remiss in my duties as a godmother. I heard my sister’s getting equestrian clothing for her godson who’s turning six this month and I am reminded of my own.

How I wish I can just go there at the drop of a hat all by myself. But it’s too far away and it’s not really safe for a woman to travel all alone in that part of the country.

Let me tell you about this really sexy handyman from the neighborhood… he is one crazy hot guy! Women in the neighborhood would often find one reason or another to call him to their houses. Yes, he is that amazing!

One neighbor called him up just to have an omnimount installed in her room. Another called him up to check on her microwave oven. One neighbor desperate enough to get him inside her house called him up just to ask about paints.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

The man is clearly aware of it all and is amused by the antics of the women in the neighborhood. One good thing about him? He doesn’t take advantage. He just calls on the neighbor who needs him and goes home right after.

He was tasked to take care of the Airtex mechanical fuel pump by the head office. He isn’t too familiar with it but he said yes right away. He will be given a per diem for it aside from his usual pay. And there will be overtime pay, too! Since he wants to be able to bring his woman to a fancy place on their anniversary, he grabs at any extra pay he can get from work.

Anything for you. That’s what he would always tell his woman. So he makes sure he has enough money to say yes to whatever she fancies. He’s happy as long as she is.

It’s so hard to see your friend hurt over an indiscretion on the part of her boyfriend. He cheated once and said sorry. She forgave him after a while. He cheated again and they almost broke up over it. But my friend who really loves her boyfriend so much forgave him again. And now he almost did it again… all those times and this with the same woman he had something in the past!

You wanted to tell your friend to break up with the guy once and for all because he cheated in the past and he will find a way to cheat again especially as he knows she is ready to forgive him again and again. But you can’t tell her to break up with him because you know her situation in life. You know how she’s so dependent on him on so many things. You are torn on what advice to give her! You are hurting over your friend’s predicament and you don’t know what to do.

So what to do in this kind of situation? I say, pray. Pray for your friend. Pray that whatever happens she will emerge as a stronger and better person. Pray that everything will fall into place for her and soon.

So they decided that on their next trip they will be going Dutch. The last three trips they went to all the expenses were borne by the guy and since the girl can’t shoulder all expenses as she is also struggling to save up, she proposed going Dutch on their next trip as a way of easing the burden of expenses on her boyfriend’s part.

She is currently busy with a software bundle where she knows she can make money from. She is excited to travel again and the date of their next trip actually depends on her. She can’t wait to tell her boyfriend that he can book their trip already!

She is proud to have a boyfriend who is easy to please. You give him even a pen and he will be happy about it! It’s the thought that counts for him and I believe that he’s right.

She is getting him something from the Famous Smoke Shop today. She feels like he’s been stressed out from work lately and she wants him to relax and unwind. She knows that he doesn’t like to go out much when he’s tired from work so she will get him something he can enjoy at home.

I found this photo so sweet I know I just have to share it here with all of you. It makes me think of cuddling, hugging real tight, and loving.

It makes me think of making love and the aftermath. It makes me think of silence that is not awkward at all!

It makes me think of you and me and everything that took place and more.

Happy Monday folks!

Kids are truly adorable. Without them knowing it, they make others happy just by being themselves. The commercial playground equipment was installed by professionals at the public playground near the community center. When you pass by it, you can hear the fun and laughter the kids are having. You just know it’s play time and what a grand time for the kids it is!

I keep remembering the grand time I had in my childhood. I had younger siblings and older cousins to play with. I also had the neighbors’ kids as playmates, too! I had so much fun when I was a kid I can relieve it again and again to get a smile or two out of me.
