Selfless
#13
Asdil had to attend court today. He received a subpoena the day before asking him to present himself as a witness to a crime that happened in November last year. I accompanied him there, first time for both of us ever being near or in court. The court case is to be moved to another day, though, because the accused claimed that he is not well enough to go through the hearing. Total bull, of course, but I suppose that's how it goes for these kind of case.
So what happened? Well, long story short, Asdil saw a man fall off a bike, and another man yelled out that the man just stole the motorbike. The man ran and Asdil gave chase. After some heart-stopping stunts, Asdil, along with some help, managed to nab the guy and turn him in.
I wasn't there, of course, when the crime happened. when Asdil told me about it, how he chased the man right up along the LDP, for the most part I was worried about how much he risked his safety. But at the same time, I couldn't help feeling so proud of his selflessness in wanting to put an end to the crime.
This is a glimpse into why when I'm with him, I know I can trust him with my life. He selflessly puts others before himself, he's protective and makes me feel safe. And even when he's not around, I know he's just at the other end of the phone, and will always be here for me. Asdil's my hero, and I love him.
P/s: Happy 26th wedding anniversary to my parents :)

Things I like about...
#14
Okay, we both know I don't drink coffee...but for my sake let's imagine that I do (I do like the smell anyway). Or better yet, replace coffee with tea. I LOVE TEA!
P/s: Okay, I know I'm cheating here. I posted this real late, but I've been super duper busy at work and at home. I've been doing World news at work, and it's been keeping me on my toes. I've been doing proofreading for my friends, and I've been helping my Asdil with assigments. So eventhough I haven't had the time to post anything, my time was well spent with people I care about.

Still
#20
Several decades down the road, I think we'll be like this. Still. But you know what the best thing is? That we'll be like that still. We'd still be together. And I'll still love you and want to drive around with you and talk, despite arguments and nagging and whatever else we old marrieds can come up with then. Just being in the car with you and enjoying your company and conversation, that is something that can never grow old.

Sometimes
#23
Sometimes, admittedly, the days are hard. I try to brush it aside, make light of the things that are damaging my calm and close my eyes and count to 10. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it's alright. I mean, it happens, and you learn to take the punches and just turn the page. And sometimes, there are days where I want to just take comfort in your arms and hear your reassuring words.
I'm not asking for a solution, not asking you to fight my battles, not asking for much. I just want you to lend me your strength, hold me and let me let go of the demons I'm fighting in me.
When I'm with you, I find strength that I don't know I have. I find the dawn at the end of a dark night. I feel weightless when I'm in your arms. And when I'm with you, the world stops short outside the door.
Sometimes, I just wish we don't have to find time to be together. Let time find us to remind us of the passing of the hours.

It's only words
#25
Sometimes, words are not needed. The look in your eyes says more than words ever can.

Open Oceans
#26
These spaces feel
like open oceans
Waiting
Just waiting for
the ship to sail in
the waves to break
my heart to un-ache
to reignite this flame.
The wind whispers
your name, a teasing
tickle at the edge
of my seeping
drowning
conciousness.
Anchor me with
the weight of you
And never leave
me drifting again.

Without you things go hazy
#28
This song always makes me think of you.
I watched you sleepin' quietly in my bed
You don't know this now butThere's somethings that need to be saidAnd it's all that I can hearIt's more than I can bearWhat if I fall and hurt myselfWould you know how to fix me?What if went and lost myselfWould you know where to find me?If forgot who I amWould you please remind me?Oh, cause without you things go hazy.

The Little Things
#29
Sometimes it is not the elaborate gestures that tug so hard at these heart strings. It's the little things that can mean so much, be the weight that makes my heart so full, threatening to burst with so much emotion.
Like, the way you're always the first one who'd reach out to hold hands as we walk. Like how you'd brush my hair away when it gets in my face. It can be the hugs that we'd share after a few days apart. Or talking in the car as we drive. Or singing the same songs, even if my song-knowledge can definitely not surpass yours.
And it can even be a simple sms or a call. It might not seem like much, but the thought that you might be missing me just like I am missing you could really make my day. Just a few words by sms could send me soaring.
It can be just cooking together, then sitting down while watching a movie. It can be just being in the same room, reading different books, but just being together.
Mundane, I know, but it's the little things that remind me I'm alive and in love. And for that I am thankful.
I love you, Asdil.

First Kiss
#31
Contrary to popular belief, I was never kissed by any one of the two boyfriends I've had prior to Asdil. Nor have I ever kissed or been kissed by anyone by accident, on an impulse, on a dare... Cheeks don't count, of course. I'm talking full on lips here.
So, in case you haven't caught on yet, I was a kiss virgin at 22; that is, until Asdil and I shared that fateful kiss in the early morning light in the back of Yumi's car.
It wasn't something I meant to hide, it's just that I never committed my answer to a "yes" or a "no", since well, nobody really asked. Everybody assumed that I have kissed, and I never thought to correct them. I'm sorry, though, to the friends that have asked me things like "Is so-and-so a good kisser?" and I just said something like "Yeah, he's pretty alright". You people know who you are, especially on one occasion at the Karak highway McDonald's where some of the Twisties quizzed me on kissing techniques.
So yeah, that would explain the blush and the reluctance to answer the questions asked of me that time and the reason why I declined to kiss a certain Twistie during that Truth or Dare session we had. Truth was, I was saving my first kiss for someone, someone who I felt would make that kiss special and I wanted the kiss to be a promise of something more, not a meaningless peck between platonic friends to fulfil a dare. I didn't know who that someone would be, but I was willing to wait.
My waiting didn't take long.
A few days after our game of Truth or Dare, in what would be the beginning of something wonderful, heart in my throat, in all uncertainty yet certain that this was the moment I was waiting for, I met Asdil halfway for a wonderful first kiss.
And the rest, they say, is history.

And another gone and another one gone
Unconciously, I've been singing Queen's Another one bites the dust. I at first figured that it was from all the uploading of Freddie's pictures the other night. After all, I did name him after Freddie Mercury.
But now that I think about it, I think I'm singing it because Aaina just got hitched to Walad -- Finally! So so happy for them. So glad that they are safely married and now starting a new life together as husband and wife. Whoa...life is going by so fast. It feels like only yesterday we were all still in IIU and going to classes and going for late night drives...
It caught my heart abit, seeing my friends getting married... It's like, you ask yourself, when did we grow up? No matter how old we felt when we were still students, thinking we have grown so much, it turns out that we have grown abit more than that. And here's a new chapter now.
So Aaina, many many congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I was your roommate for quite some years, and I've seen your ups and downs and felt helpless when you were hurt, not knowing what to do. I'm happy to see you finally reach this point of your relationship, and hope that it will last you both forever.
We may not have been in constant touch over these past couple of years, but it doesn't change how much I care for you as a friend. So Walad, you better take care of her, because there are a lot of people to answer to (including me), if you don't.
But threat aside :P, congratulations. I hope you like the gifts :)
And another one gone and another gone...
Love, Linzy~
