A Box of Sweets

I have been checking my phone every 30 minutes, no text message from you. I would just like to know if you already got the box of brownies in our old locker.

We have known each other for a year and 13 days already, probably this time is enough for me to affirm how much you love brownies. I have seen the sweetness of your smile whenever you are nibbling on one. Three days ago my mom just celebrated her birthday, and she received several boxes of those assorted brownies that you can usually purchase in the mall. So that night before going to the office I discreetly filched a box, and I did it for you. I was so excited to give it to you. I texted you. I still have that SMS saved on my sent items which says:

"hoy ungas, may dala ako brownies, kunin mu na lang sa old locker naten, 123 ung code huh.. Wak ka na lang maingay sa iba, ge2 ingat ."

After several minutes, I heard my phone beeped and got it out of my pocket. It was you.

",wow, thnx ge kunin ko mya, kitakits."

That curled the corners of my lips. I felt warmness on my cheeks. I knew I was turning scarlet red again. I kissed my mom goodbye and grabbed my bag with the box of brownies in it.

I had my off from the office the day after I left the box of brownies in our locker. You know me too well that I wouldn't have the courage to hand it over to you personally. I didn't hear anything from you that day after we parted ways after we had breakfast with our teammates. I know you too well that it is very rare that you say "thank you". I don't know, at that instance I badly wanted to hear those words from you, I wanted to hear that you appreciate what I did.

I have shift that next day,  I know I wouldn't be seeing you since it is your rest day. But still I was excited. I knew where I will be heading once I reached the office. And so I was in front of our old locker. I can feel the coldness of the metal door numbing my skin as I've reached for the handle. I swung the door open. My heart sunk. It was still there, unmoved.

"Tae ka kinalimutan mo ung brownies, pansinin mo naman daw sya. Pagnakita ko pa to pagbalik ko from my rest day mahuhurts talaga ako, haha. Ge2."

I've instantly reached for my phone to send you that message. I wanted to sound as casual as I can be, as if it is not a big deal to me. I knew how busy you are, I just sighed upon reading your explanation.

", uu nkalimutan q khapon.ehe. . Mya kunin q. tnx. . :b"

I tried to understand. But until now at the back of my mind, I know a lot of things had change, and I am not sure how long I can still hold on to bear this changes.

Still checking  my phone every 30 min...

1458H Manila time, when the first few lines on this page was keyed in. Up until now I haven't read blogs from other people, I don't even have any idea how it should be done or what it should  contain. I even google the terminology just to give me a rough idea how should I start. Credit goes to Wikipedia, it just gave me the definition that I wanted my blog to look like,"Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries." The latter words will best define this blog. My first day, my first 30 minutes working on this. My apology for being so amateur but I'm giving you my commitment to make this a very light and entertaining one. Ciao for now
