Claiming back the special day that I forgot.
The last time that I remember the date was April 24. And now it’s already 26.
Yesterday, I never greeted my wife a Happy Anniversary. No gift at all. I maybe on my strangest set of minds that I thought it was just the 24th. I was on the training and whenever we use to write dates, I always write 04/24/2007.
While waiting for the service van yesterday evening and waiting for my wife, I saw her with boxes of Mister Donuts on her hands. I wonder where they came from. I never thought she bought those. Or maybe I thought of that as pasalubong (some uses hand-me-downs), for her brothers. Though, I never asked my wife.
While we were seated on the pavements at the parking lot, she greeted me, “Happy Anniversary honey!” I was surprised and embarrased at the same time since I am not aware of the occasion. It was the 25th already and it seems like I was ignoring it.
Came home and still I was thinking why the heck did I forget that day. And still thinking, I still did not greet her. Then this morning, she told me, “Honey, you still hasn’t greeted me.” Then I stood up, hugged her and kissed her. On my sweetest way, I said, “Happy Anniversary honey!” I kissed her a few times more and said to myself, “Why am I forgetting the date?” Until now, I am still thinking of how could I bring back that day that I missed. However, it looks like there’s no way but to wait until next year. It’s making me sad. And I know I am not the saddest person right now.
I want to ask for your help. Since I could not bring back yesterday anymore, how then can I turn this sadness to joy? Since this morning, I was thinking already of something. A surprise, perhaps. And oh, I remembered our original plan. She was asking me before if I can bring her to a fancy resto on our day. Where can I find a not-too-fancy fancy resto so I can bring her there this weekend?
Honey, don’t read this yet, OK?

We were not able to go out! I needed to go to the office today. but we had happy times with each other last Friday night before heading home. But I’m still planning to surprise her one of these days.
