Sweetness of my Weekend

Hi everybody.....
Last weekend has been a very very memorable one for me...for the very first time in my life, I felt the vulnerability of being a woman. My friends were the ones who keep on telling me that I have a very strong personality. According to them, it correlates why I've been single for a very long time, that personality scares men away. On the other hand, I don't really take the comment seriously. I am the eldest among my siblings and I tend to have this "superwoman" attitude that I can do everything, indeed, very independent...I never thought that one day, a man will come along that can break the toughness of my heart....

Robbie, the guy I met three months ago came here in San Diego for a visit. We've been chatting for hours and hours everyday since then. It came to a point that he decided that he's going to start courting me. And he did after a month of our endless chats. He left San Francisco Friday noon. He was stuck in traffic so the expected 8:00 PM became 12 MN. I cooked dinner for him, sinigang na baboy, he's favorite food. I also made some lychee/agar-agar juice for dessert. I've fallen asleep while waiting for him. I'm so nervous of course because, it was the first time I'm gonna see this person in flesh. It's just awkward that I've known almost everything about him through that short span of time and it's really weird feeling that he's actually gonna be here. Anyways, he called me that he's already at the 805 freeway so I directed him towards the route going to our place. He was driving this white Honda Prelude, I told him that we need to look for a parking space around the apartment complex. It was so tensed and shaking like crazy! He asked me to hop in the car so we could find a spot. I giggle a lot if I'm nervous trying to cover the shakiness of my entire being!....After 30 minutes, we found a space. Golly! He's actually here!!!
He's not good looking I will definitely say that..he's an average Joe that intrigues me a lot...I saw his pic in friendster and myspace but it's just different to see someone in flesh.
He did like my sinigang though. I dunno if he's just being nice or what but heck! I was so nervous still....
My parents told me to just ask him to stay in our place instead of checking in at a nearby inn.
So there, we sat at the opposite side of the couch...really really awkward moment there I'm telling you... he's staring at me and I can feel that I am starting to melt away. He moved next to me. He muttered the words "I love you". I was blushing like crazy! I can't even look at his eyes!... He then held my hand and kissed it. Awww....I kinda like it coz he was such a gentleman! very manly! hahahaha....
He muttered the words "I love you" for the second time and I told him to stop staring at me coz it was so uncomfortable....He was giggling because he said, I looked so cute when I'm nervous....Anyways, he moved closer towards me and kissed me. It was great! I then told him that I'm gonna go back to sleep and I'm just gonna see him the next morning....

The next morning....
He texted me...my dad called me on my fone teasing me that I need to wake up and cook breakfast....We went to eat some Vietnamese food coz he said he's craving for their Pho...Anyways, he's been telling not to be nervous. Oh my gosh! I was so embarassing coz I was so clumsy! I spilled the sauce all over the table! He was smiling and telling me how cute I am with my clumsiness!...
After our lunch, I finaly got over the nervousness...and I was back to being myself... the jolly and talkative Abby...
We went to the 4 malls!...He's such a gentleman, he opens and closes the car door for me...I feel like a realy lady when I'm with him...I never felt anything like this before even with my ex....He constantly kisses and holds my hand while were driving....
Around 5 PM that day, he asked me if we can go to the Albertson's grocery store before we go my churmate's birthday party. He asked me to look for something and left me... After several minutes, I heard them page me... "Paging customer named Abby, please proceed to Customer Service". Guess what???? There he is holding a dozen roses!!!!!! He's so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't able to hold my feelings any longer coz the sign that I asked for actually happened!....He said "I love you",kissed me, and I kissed him back and said "I love you back!"....

Here's the funny thing though....everybody! I mean everybody! my relatives, my churmates were so intrigue with the guy I'm with....You can see the looks that just make me giggle everytime...

It was very sad when he left yesterday....

A long distance love affair...Am I gonna make it this time????
I miss him already :(
