TEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HIM


I MADE A SIMILAR POST LIKE THIS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO (ON MY SPACE AND MY FRIENDSTER ACCOUNT)WHEN ME AND GARY WAS JUST STARTING AS A COUPLE. AS I HAVE KNOWN HIM MORE, I HAVE GROWN TO LOVE HIM MORE. THIS GUY NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME. THIS MADE ME FEEL STRONG ABOUT THE BELIEF THAT THIS MAN IS MY "THE ONE". I REMEMBER MY PROFILE ON FILIPINA HEART.COM (THE SITE WHICH GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET AND TALK), THERE WAS A PORTION IN THERE WHICH ASKED WHAT QUALITIES IN A GUY WAS I LOOKING FOR AND REVIEWING ALL THAT, HE IS EXACTLY THAT PERSON.THE LIST HERE MIGHT HAVE CHANGED AS COMPARED FROM MY PREVIOUS ONE, FOR THE REASON THAT I GOT TO KNOW THE DEEPER SIDE OF HIM.

1. HE ALWAYS HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON THINGS, EVEN THOUGH HE SAYS THAT HE MOANS A LOT. HE SEES A GLASS HALF FULL AND NOT HALF EMPTY.I HAVE SEEN THIS CHARACTER WHEN HE WAS MADE REDUNDANT FROM HIS WORK (WELL, HE WAS SURPRISED AND UPSET BY THIS) BUT AFTER A WHILE HE MADE REALIZATIONS THAT THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE. I DID ADMIRE HIM FOR THAT.

2. HE MADE A WAY TO REACH OUT TO MY FAMILY. MY FAMILY IS A BIG PART OF ME, WITHOUT THEM AND THEIR UNENDING SUPPORT I WOULDN'T BE THE PERSON THAT I AM NOW AND SO AS A PART OF MY CRITERIA A GUY WHO SHOULD BE WITH ME HAS TO GET ALONG WITH MY FAMILY . GARY ON HIS 2ND VISIT HERE MADE AN EFFORT OF SPENDING TIME WITH THEM. HE THREW OUT A SWIMMING PARTY AND THIS MADE ME REALLY REALLY HAPPY. MY PARENTS LIKE HIM ESPECIALLY MY MOM WHO HAD CALLED HIM SON AND MY COUSINS WHO HAD A GOOD IMPRESSION ON HIM.

3. HE INCLUDES ME ON HIS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND I LOVE HEARING THAT FROM HIM.

4. HE HAS THIS WAY OF MAKING ME FEEL LOVED EVEN FROM A DISTANCE

5. HE TALKS ABOUT ME WITH HIS FRIENDS AND IT MAKES ME FEEL THAT HE IS PROUD OF ME( AND I PRETTY LIKE THAT! HAHAHA)

6. HE ALSO MADE AN EFFORT ON MEETING MY FRIENDS. I SEE HOW GOOD HE IS WITH PEOPLE, ON THE WAY HE TREATS THEM (ONE EXAMPLE IS THE STAFF OF SEA DIVE IN CORON WHERE WE STAYED DURING OUR HOLIDAY. HE SEEMED LIKE HE WAS A FAVORITE GUEST PROBABLY BECAUSE HE TREATED THEM WELL AND BECAME FRIENDS WITH THEM)

7. HE IS POINTING ME TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHAT EVER IT MIGHT BE, CAREER MOVES, PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND OTHER DECISION MAKING. HE ALWAYS MAKE SENSE.

8. I KNOW AND SURE THAT I ALWAYS HAVE HIS SUPPORT. HE CHEERS ME UP ON A BAD DAY (THAT IS WHEN MY CONSULTANTS ARE GIVING ME A HARD TIME OR MY CLERKS ARE GIVING ME HEADACHES).

9. HE BELIEVES IN ME EVEN WHEN I THINK THAT I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH. HE HAS FAITH IN ME AND THE THINGS I COULD DO.

10. HE JUST LOVED ME THE WAY I AM NO IFS NOT BUTS (NOW THIS IS MAKING ME TEARY!)

I WAS BROWSING THE PICTURES OF ME AND GARY FROM OUR PREVIOUS HOLIDAYS AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE REACHED THIS FAR IN OUR RELATIONSHIP, SPENDING OUR TIME MOSTLY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER. FRIENDS HAVE ASKED ME A COUPLE OF TIMES HOW ARE WE ABLE TO MANAGE THE SEPARATION, AND I SAID THAT IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP, BOTH PARTIES MUST WANT IT TO REALLY WORK, THAT BOTH MUST BE WILLING TO MAKE A WAY TO BE ALWAYS IN CONTACT, WHAT EVER MODE OF COMMUNICATION IT MIGHT BE. LUCKILY FOR US, WE DO GET TO EMAIL EACH OTHER EVERY NOW AND THEN, WONDERFUL SOCIAL NETWORKS SUCH AS FACEBOOK WHERE WE COULD EXCHANGE MESSAGES, TEXT MESSAGING WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO ACCESS THE INTERNET, OCCASIONAL CALLS AND THE WEEKLY SKYPE WHICH WE TRY TO RELIGIOUSLY DO.
WE TRY TO BE CREATIVE, KEEPING THE FIRE OF THE RELATIONSHIP ON GOING. GARY HAS THIS WAY OF MAKING ME FEEL VALUED, LOVED AND BEING TAKEN CARE OF EVEN FROM A DISTANCE. HE'S THE MORE CREATIVE ONE. HE WOULD SEND ME FLOWERS WITH CARDS (OF COURSE WITH MOVING MESSAGES THAT MAKE ME GO INTO TEARS) AS WELL AS CHOCOLATES AND STUFF. HE WOULD SOMETIMES SUPRISINGLY SEND ME TEXT MESSAGES ASSURING ME THAT I AM THOUGHT OF EVEN ON HIS BUSY DAY.
AS FOR MY PART, I TRY TO DO THE SAME, SHARING HIM MY THOUGHTS, MY FEELINGS AND EVENTS THAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME THROUGH OUT THE DAY. AND OF COURSE WE LOOK BACK ON THE DAYS SPENT TOGETHER WHICH MAYBE A BIT SHORT BUT EVERYDAY WAS WORTH WHILE.
I AM JUST LOOKING FORWARD FOR THE DAY WHEN WE CAN FINALLY BE TOGETHER ON A LONGER TIME.
