From him to her

Habi,

Good morning!
Hindi ako nakatulog nang maayos sa tren kanina. I finally drifted off around Tiong Bahru, I think. Baka dahil kumain tayo ng almusal kaya may energy ako to resist sleep. Unfortunately, I found myself dozing until Kembangan! Buti na lang talaga, I never get past THAT station. Magaling talaga ang subconscious ko.
Alas diyes na 'ko nakarating ng office. The aircon is currently "spoiled" by the way at naka-fan lang yata kami. Sayang naman ang pullovers ko.
Wala si among lalaki at si Hansel. Baka nandun sila sa HSA (Health Services Authority), yung isa pang bagong project. Kaya masaya ang umaga kasi walang "pressure from the side." ;o)
Kailangan ko nang mahugasan yung moldy Starbucks tumbler kasi mabilis akong nalalamigan ng kape (Coffee Slender, as of press time). Ipaalala mo naman sa 'kin para sa Monday.
Last night when we had that one-minute embrace, I found myself staring into your face in the dim light of the bedside lamp. I was trying to memorize its contours, even the deep chickenpox scar where Harry's lightning bolt could have been. I remembered a line from dear old Dario, that if you can imagine yourself waking up with that same face every morning of your life, then that's love. I have. Waking up and and even dozing off with. On hazy weekday mornings, on lazy Saturday afternoons, and on late Sunday nights. And it's a comforting feeling. That all is well, God is good, and life is beautiful.

Love,
Habi

From her to him

Habi,

May Christmas station na sa Yahoo! Launchcast! Ang saya-saya ko!
At dahil sa lalo mo akong pinasaya sa email mo, papabasa ko na sayo yung blog ko. Papabasa ko sana sayo pag tapos na yung 50-day countdown e pero ang tagal pa nun kaya eto na: http://countdownbeginsat50.blogspot.com/

Sabi ko na nga ba e! I knew you were looking at me. Masyado lang akong antok para umalma. Habi, I think the challenge is to wake up with the same person but with a face that is changing everyday, and the ultimate challenge is to still want to wake up with that same person whose face's contours have sagged after 50 years of weekday mornings, Saturday afternoons, and Sunday nights. All is well indeed for I've never been up to any challenge as I am for this one.

Love,
Habi
