So yesterday, I asked her if she likes chocolates. She said yes. I forced her to name some of the chocolates that she likes. And so she said Macadamia, Ferrero and Butterfinger.

I couldn't find Ferrero in Mercury Drug Store. Haha. So I bought Macadamia na lang and Butterfinger.

Me: "Hey Anj (her bestfriend), I got something for you. But since you don't eat chocolates, I guess this goes to Arianne."

HAHAHA. And she was sooooo happy.

Later on in the evening:

Me: "Buhay ka pa?"
Arianne: "Yep, billiards kami hehe. Nawawalan ng signal, what you doin?"
Me: "Oh ok. =) cool cool. akala ko what happened na. Yah yah, i worry too much wahahaha. Eto work. Haha. Bo-ring. Haha, cge enjoy the night. Mamaya na lng, advise me when u are home na. =) Alrighty?"
Arianne: "Ayt. wow u worry too much hehe."
Me: "Nyahahahaha is that bad? Hahahaha."
Arianne: "Well it's sweet actually "
Me: "Akala mo lang un. Hahaha!"
Arianne: "Ahahaha akala ur face! :-p"

I sent her a message this morning, saying sorry if I look like I'm bored or uninterested in her stories. Sa sobrang kulit kasi niya, nagmumukha akong boring. And this was her reply:

"hey... im really enjoying your company as well, i dont think you're boring or uninterested at all, you're more of a listener and i appreciate that a lot its really nice talking to you, i dont know but i feel were connecting in some way and thats cool kasi sakin kaunti lang yun mga nkkaintidi sakin well i dont know if you do but yeah maybe hehehe we'll see each other this sunday MY TREAT =)"

Can I die? haha.

PS: Umuulan kasi nun sa Alabang, tapos yung arm ko natutuluan ng ulan. Pinunasan nya ng kamay nya. Baboy man, pero and sweet. Haha!

Tinext nya ako nung hapon. Sabi niya pupunta daw sila ng friend niya sa Starbucks sa Northgate, Alabang and said she would love to hang out with me there. Naisip ko dun na lng ako magwwork. She fetched me at ATC.

Nameet ko si Anj, her bestfriend. We talked and talked and meron time na umalis si Anj kasi she washed her clothes sa bahay nila. So Arianne and I were left alone. We talked and talked about things: what she likes/dislikes, what i like/dislike, what food we both eat and not eat, our pet peeves, our lives. She paints, she loves the arts. Even though she's just 18, I was like talking to some 25 year old girl sa sobrang dami ng experiences nya sa buhay. Daig pa ako. Bilib ako sa pagiging responsible niya lalo na when I learned something na kinwento ni Anj.

It was like heaven when she said, "I like your personality" and since super stiff ko kasi syempre bago palang (it takes time for me to loosen up to a new group), nung tumawa ako sa joke nya, sabi nya "Ayan! Napatawa rin kita!". She even said "Alam mo, buti na lang pinatulan mo ako (patol here means I decided to communicate with her and hindi ko cya inichapwera). Ang bait bait mo."

Sinamahan nila ako sa Starbucks hanggang 3am even though may job fair silang pupuntahan ng 7am. Pinauwi na kasi sila nung kuya ni Anj eh, pero if hindi sila pinauwi, dapat magsstay sila dun hanggang 6:30am.

Nung umuwi na sila, I called Anj. I told her:

Me: "Anj, I have something to tell you, but don't flinch. Don't move a single facial muscle. Poker face dapat. I like Arianne. I mean I really do. Will you help me?"
Anj: "Alam mo, basta yan si Arianne, consistent ka lang sa ginagawa mo ngayon, ok yan. But I will help you, syempre naman. Magusap tayo sa Sunday."

It was an awesome 7pm-3am date. While we were talking, I knew immediately that I chose the right one. Plus, the good thing is, I have her bestfriend's blessing.

And yes, we're gonna meet tomorrow again to watch a movie. =)

Oo nga pala, since 5'7 siya, ganto kami mag-hug:

Tangina. Nakakaturn-off yung height ko.

PS: Nagulat kami at nagkataon na pareho kami ng birthday ni Anj, December 29.

Hindi kami nagising ng 6am. Naman. Napaka-kapal naman kasi ng mukha namin na magdate ng 6am eh pareho kaming mahilig matulog (kakatapos ko lng magtrabaho nun). So nagising kaming pareho ng 9am. Sabihan kami ng sabihan sa isa't isa na nagrready na, only to find out na pareho pa pala kaming nakahiga nun. Haha.

Yung 9am na usapan, naging 12nn. Sa ATC kami pumunta. Sa mga kaibigan ko, alam nyo naman na late ako all the time. So dumating ako ng 1pm. Eh pano ba yan, etong si Arianne, nalimutan ko mas malala pa pala sakin. Dumating siya ng 3pm.

Me: "Asan ka na?"
Her: "Wait, iniisip ko pa kung mag-ggown ako eh. Haha!"
Me: "Kahit wag na gown, cocktail dress ok na sakin. Short ha. Haha."

Tapos nagtext siya.

Her: "Nasa entrance nako ng ATC."
Me: "Oh sige, hindi nako umaasa na mabilis na lang yan. I'll give you an hour mula entrance hanggang starbucks (30 steps lang yun). Haha. Baka bukas ka pa dumating ah. Haha."
Her: "Hindi promise, malapit nako. =)"
Me: "Baka dating mo 10pm. Sarado na ATC. Hahaha."
Her: "Hindi, mga 9:59 ako dadating promise. Haha!"

Tapos kumain kami sa Fish and Co. Licensed scuba diver siya. Astig diba? Pareho kami ng buhay: not living with parents (independent living), lumaki sa lola, nanggaling sa broken family, natutuwa sa mga trivia. Siya yung tipong bigla na lng titingin sa kamay niya at papansinin yung mga veins, at sasabihing "biruin mo, from a single cell naging tao tayo." HAHAHA. Sobrang funny niya. Mahilig humirit like, "nung pumunta ako sa Batangas, sabi white sand daw dun. Pag tapak ko white rocks pala, andaming sugat ng paa ko nun." HAHAHA. At lalo na nung kinwento niya yung trip nya to Bicol na ordinary bus yung sinakyan niya.

Nung 5pm na, niyaya ko siya sa movie. Nanood kami ng "Orphan". Tapos tinanong nya ako sa gitna ng movie ng:

Her: "So, ano bang gusto mo sa girl?" Maganda ang timing niya ha.

Sobrang torpe ko at hindi ko masabing "ikaw", nasabi ko na lang, "ay wait, ayan na yung orphan!" LOSER.

Tapos we ended the date with a kiss. AT YES, HINDI PUMASOK SA ISIP KO NA ITULAK SIYA COMPARED DUN SA ISA. ACTUALLY, PARANG AKO PA NGA YUNG NAG-INITIATE. HAHAHA. SHHHH. Kasi ako ung unang nag-move ng mga 1mm towards her. Haha.

PS: 18 years old lang siya, pero 5'7 ang height nya. Kanina, sa date namin, yung dulo ng buhok ko hanggang mata lang nya, to think nakatayo na yung buhok ko ah. Na-impress din ako sa kanya. Sabi nya kasi, "sabi ko sayo Zaf eh, kahit sa Jollibee mo ko dalhin ok lang sakin". Siya na ang napili kong career-in. I'm done with dating, 'coz finally, I've found her.

---

Since I am really decided on Arianne, I couldn't help myself but list all the things I like about her--things that made me choose her over my previous obsession, Nicky.

1. She's a Virgo. I believe in astrology, and the best match for a Capricorn is a Virgo.
2. She's extra funny. She'll whip off a non-sense hirit and then end it with a smart punchline.
3. SHE KEEPS HER PLATES AND UTENSILS IN ORDER AFTER EATING. HER SIDE OF THE TABLE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS UNTOUCHED. THIS ONE'S IMPORTANT TO ME.
4. She has manners. Very refined.
5. She's independent. She pays her own bills and does not rely on her parents financially--at 18 years of age.
6. She's simple. She didn't even wear make-up during our date and just wore a black tank top, pants and slippers.
7. We have a very similar background.
8. She eats anything, anywhere. She's the type who would consider a fastfood chain a dating place. But of course, I wouldn't let that happen.
9. She loves the outdoors. Snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking and adventure.
10. She's always late. Haha. Though I am also super late most of the time, I get easily irritated by tardiness (oo na, I know mali yung thinking ko. Haha!). But with her, I never even felt a tinge of inis while waiting. Weird.
11. She's very inquisitive. She's curious for just about everything. She's a seeker of knowledge, a self-confessed nerd.
12. She loves hiphop and dance music.
13. She wears glasses (reading and walking). Now this is love. =)
    
14. She always proposes KKB even though I encourage that I pay for everything all the time. This act never fails to impress me.
15. She's street smart.
16. She has a very good memory for the minute but important details. When I brought out my menthol cigs, she said, "Oh akala ko ba hindi ka menthol?". I only mentioned that to her once, in passing pa. But seriously, I bought the menthol 'coz she smokes menthol only.
17. She enjoys everything presented to her. If we watch a movie of my choice, she never fails to show her enthusiasm every time.
18. She's a good conversationalist. We never have dull moments.
19. You can act silly in front of her and she won't care.
20. She's very honest with her views.
21. My friends say she's hot, though I find "hot" very insulting. Yes guys, I prefer you calling some girl beautiful rather than hot.
    

The cons:

1. She's 5'7 and I'm short of 5 inches.
2. She makes me decide all the time: what restuarant, what movie to watch--though anything naman is fine with her, but it's stressful for me.

I was suppose to have a date yesterdy with Mia.

But since the arrangement prior to yesterday was a bit fuzzy, the lunch date did not happen. She wasn't sure if she had a professor in her 1pm-4pm class. We were suppose to meet at around 12nn if the professor wasn't around, but if the professor was present, then we reschedule it. Turned out, there was a substitute professor. Good thing I didn't leave the house early since our meet up place was at Tomas Morato. I live in Las Pinas.

Arianne texted me around 9am. She was in Alabang coz she had an overnight at her friend's place. Around 11am, she said they will head to Makati to meet up a friend and drink there. So I left her alone to enjoy her drinking spree.

Come 1:30, while I was washing the dishes, Argee texted me and said that she was in BF. So I met her up in Phase 1 around 2pm, and we tried to catch up on each other's lives. We had yema.

At around 4pm, Arianne texted me, and her spellings (content of her text) were messed up already. I called her up to ask her if she was ok, and she sounded a little bit more than tipsy. She was gonna commute back home (she lives in Las Pinas too) with a friend, who happened to be dead drunk. I told her I could go to Makati and accompany them back home, just so they have someone sober with them. She declined. She said she's gonna go to BF and we could meet up instead. So from 4pm onwards, I was monitoring her. I told her before she left Makati not to sleep while riding the bus, but I guess she was too drunk to even remember my reminder. So I was damn worried. She texted me when she was near her place already and told me she couldn't meet me up anymore coz she was reeking of liquor and was ashamed of her appearance.

And then she said we could meet up tomorrow (later) at 6AM and have our date. 6-fuckin-AM. I couldn't decline coz I felt it was rude. Haha.

Me: "You got other plans tom? How many hours will you be stayin?"
Her: "No I don't. How many hours do you want me to stay? Hahaha."
Me: "Haha! I won't impose hours. Ako, kahit hanggang anong oras. Kaw?"
Her: "Anytime pwede ako. Hawak ko oras ko. Haha. "

Yes, yan ang swabe.

I've never had a date before that started at 6am. What I had before ended at 6am.

I think I like her. Really. I have never laughed (and enjoyed) that much when texting someone, and she's so kulit.
