25 days to go

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Twenty five days to go before our 1st wedding anniversary. As mentioned in my other blogs, I am planning to have an overnight stay in a resort in Samal Island particularly in Chemas by the Sea. I tried contacting the resort and they only have one closed cottage. So I need to book early. But when I texted Ace about spending the night in the resort on the 25th, he replied “I have work on that day”. I’m quite disappointed. So he has no plan of taking a day off from work so that we could spend our special day together. Hence, I did not make a reservation for the cottage. I am expecting the day to be just an ordinary day.

My husband is not a romantic person. He is thoughtful but no passion for giving surprises on special occassions or just even initiating something for a special day. Just imagine we were on a relationship when I was 21 and until I turned 29, I haven’t received anything from him on my birthday or in other special occassions. That makes my envy others who’s partners makes their own to give something special on a special day. Instead, he gives something on ordinary days but not a surprise though because I’m with him when he buys the thing. Just imagine, I received flowers from him only twice since we were boyfie-girlfie…1st during my graduation and the 2nd when he met a flower vendor in the street. The 3rd was during my birthday where I asked him to buy roses for me.

During the first few years of our relationship, I used to cry over this concern. But that doesn’t changed Ace’ perspective so I forced myself to accept the fact that I should not expect something from him during special occassions becouse I’d only be disappointed waiting for nothing. Hence, I should condition myself that our 1st wedding anniversary will be just like any ordinary day.
