Tralala :-"

Once upon a time, I fell in love. Once upon a time, I found someone, someone I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. I hugged that someone for the very first time, and I felt something I have never felt before.  I fought against guilt and my principles just to be with that someone. Once upon a time, I wanted someone badly I didn’t care if everyone else would go against us.

Once upon a time everything felt right. Once upon a time, everything was perfect.

Once upon a time, I pinky promised I’d never leave that someone. I spent hours and hours and hours with that someone but still missed that someone the second we had to be apart. Every second, I just had to smile; every smile came from my heart.

Once upon a time, every single word was an understatement of what I felt.

Once upon a time, all I wanted was to hear that someone’s voice, see that someone’s smile, and be with that someone all the time. I changed a lot just for that person. Once upon a time, that person called me “Favourite Girl”. I finally heard the best line in the world.

Once upon a time, I never felt the same.

Once upon a time, all the beautiful songs I heard reminded me of that someone. I heard the song “Kahit Kailan” and I felt like flying. Once upon a time, every single moment was a taste of everything beautiful in the world.

Once upon a time, alcohol, misunderstandings, trust issues and lack of communication came up. Things between me and that someone started to become hard. Once upon a time, that someone knew nothing could ever make us give up. Though the storms came, everything still felt right; everything was still beautiful.

Once upon a time, through ups and downs, storms and rainbows, the darkness and the stars, I promised forever to that someone.

Once upon a time, things started to blur. We never really fixed problems, everything was a routine. Once upon a time, that someone started to bore. Once upon a time, I kept asking myself what went wrong. I hated myself for not being what I should’ve been. Once upon a time, I watched a perfect relationship crash and burn. But once upon a time I still believed I could pick all the pieces up, stick ‘em together and save that relationship. Every wish I made, every prayer I said was about the salvation of our relationship.

Once upon a time, I will use up all the strength I have to keep us together. Once upon a time, I still believe in #24 and #25.

Prepared a two-day surprise for Daphnee. I really do not know how I did this. I never thought I’d ever do something like this. Believe me, I’m not the kind of person who’d really exert a lot of effort for someone. But there was this magical force that drove me into doing this.

A few weeks ago, I talked to Lava and asked her to help me plan a surprise for Daphnee. She said yes. We planned everything, set the dates, talked to some other people and all. A few days before her birthday, everything was planned already. The people, the time, the things needed. But then everything suddenly changed. Some people backed out, the items we needed didn’t cooperate, and we were running out of time. I was talking to Daphnee that night. She was really sad coz she couldn’t be with her closest friends on her birthday. I burst into tears; I couldn’t make her feel better. I smelled the failure of the planned surprise. I feared I couldn’t make her happy. I just can’t make a way for her to even see her closest friends that day. I just asked for their messages, which was the least I could do.

Day 1. Lunch time, I bought a baller. It has the words “We pinky promised” written on it. I was planning to give this to her coz we had a lot of pinky promises. Since it was her 18^th birthday, I asked people to give a wish for her. Most of them were my friends she didn’t even know :)) Well, at least I had messages from her closest friends. Teehee. I wrote the messages/wishes on a paper. I picked random people to give those papers together with 18 roses. Then, I played a song for her as one of my awesome friends sang. We weren’t able to do it correctly, though. And then I pinky promised something, and gave her the baller.

Day 2. It was a really stressful day. I wasn’t able to eat breakfast coz I needed to go to school early to buy some things for the surprise. Then, during my break time, I wasn’t able to eat lunch coz I met up with Lava to buy a cake and decorate it ourselves. Then I went back to class. Alone, Lava went to the balloon shop to buy helium balloons. We planned to make a rainbow made of paper fly using those balloons. But the rainbow was too heavy so it didn’t work -___- (LESSON, Helium balloons floating hours: 6 hours ONLY). After class, I met up with Lava, with a friend and Daphnee’s ex. Heehee. Then we fixed the cake and went to the surprise spot. We couldn’t light the candles, though :( We made Daphnee go to the spot. Greeted her and stuff. She let the balloons fly but left 2 for me and Lava. Heehee.

It was really exhausting to plan a surprise and execute the plan. But I could say, seeing her smile and knowing I was able to make her happy, was the best reward I could get. Though  the surprise failed in many ways, though it didn’t go the way I planned ‘em to be, I know I was able to achieve my goal—to make her feel really special and happy on her birthday. I was really ecstatic, I could say.

To my lalala, my best friend, my partner in crime, my superman, my youknowwhats, (belated) happy happy 18^th birthday! Say hello to responsibilities! You can be imprisoned now so just tell me if you want someone dead >:) Kidding. Heehee. I love you! >:D<
