waking up to you posted by imani , Monday, May 30, 2011 at 10:26 AM, in Labels: freefall

yesterday, we woke up around 5 in the morning, and it was only then that i realized i kept eros' charger plugged in the whole night. we were exhausted from the day before as we both had to squeeze what's left of our brain so we can decide on what netbook to get.

we had coffee and smoked some cigarettes and i continued to amaze myself with the applications installed on our new toy. my lifetime took some photographs of the morning sky (and me, of course), and this was what i liked best:


thank you, my lifetime - i know i am already killing you for saying thank you too much, but i just want you to know and understand that you always have been enough for me and that i would want nothing more than to be with you until i am old and gray (hopefully not saggy). but more than anything, thanks for making me realize how much you value my own dreams and passions.

and i named it 'eros' posted by imani , Sunday, May 29, 2011 at 5:37 AM, in Labels: freefall

my lifetime and i went to two staggering ends of manila today in search of the perfect equipment. after scouring stores that branched to no end we then decided we should head back to glorietta to check, yet again, the specifics (and freebies) of this nice, overwhelming machine.

and glorietta it was.

a twenty minute ride, php 130+++ long, we got our butts out of the cab and headed straight to the second floor. as soon as we got in, i set my eyes out and sifted one face after another, looked for the laptop overlord named bren. he found us looking helplessly at the shelves, trying to decide whether we should get brand s or brand h - scrutinized the specs and compared the cost, haggled with bren about the freebies and other useful under the table applications.

i would have to give it to the guy. he somehow made it 'painless' to call the shot. we ended with brand h - because it has always been known to be dependable, and because of the free 8 gig imation usb and the optical disc drive i have yet to claim.

before going home, my lifetime urged me to think of a name for my new 'play thing.' i took her suggestion and thought long and hard, and finally decided to name it 'eros,' a homage to this blog - the testament to my never-ending attempt to harness what i think i can be good at.

'eros' is my lifetime's present, and up until this very moment, as i attempt heedlessly to write again, i am still in awe of what she did, not only because of what she has given but how she expresses how much she cares about my passion - writing.

here's my first photograph with 'eros:'

for you.

do not ever doubt that you are enough. because it is your wonder that keeps me clinging to this life, it is the gentleness of your gaze that keeps me hoping, it is your undeniable magic that makes the notion of a lifetime sweeter.

i have begun, actually.

my heart is brimming with wonders filled with light and delight and i am just awaiting for the perfect time i can write it all down here.

i just have to make sure she sees and reads them first.
