Mar 28 - Quickies

Sometimes we have time for each other, sometimes we are rushing to do other things. This is where quickie comes in handy.


Hahahaha, no, not that kind of quickie!

Today, we two were very busy bees. I attended Rio's 100th day Remembrance service at his house followed by a little get-together with my best friends Ega, Uty, and Thomy, and Rio and Ega's best friend Dimas. Then I went with Mom to run some errands (and took cheesy but super cute photobooth pictures as well, hihihi), and did a bunch of other things on my own. Luis always hits the gym before lunch time every Saturday and today was no difference, because his gym opens only for half-day on Saturdays. Then, as usual, he went to the city with his best friend Guus for lunch at their favorite restaurant and Guus would come up to his place to hang until late night.

Last Sunday, he had a football match from early morning to lunch time. At home, he rushed to take a shower, have lunch, and prepare a gift for his niece who had a family birthday celebration in Belgium, also up until the evening. It was an even more extreme case than how today was: we literally texted back and forth for a total of one minute each time (when he woke up, when he got home after the match, and a few times when he was at the party in Belgium), and FaceTime-d while I was eating (because there would have been no other window to be able to call up until the moment I would be sleeping). Talk about fast typing and thinking! Hihi..

One thing that we both have agreed on is to not disturb each other when he/she is with family or friends, so we can still check on each other every once in a while but in a very minimal manner. I'd text him things before bed that he can read after I'm asleep and he would do the same for me for the following morning. Other than the before-bed's filling-in texts, the conversations are very brief, one check-in roughly only takes three to five minutes. Short, but bearable (and reasonable).

And that is our definition of quickie! :D /

Mar 27 - Our Favorite Pasttime Activity

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this here before, but Luis and I just looooove taking quizzes! We aren't reaching the point of being superstitious and believing everything the result suggests, of course, but we think it's super fun to see how we are compared to each other, cause most of the times, the questions itself teach us many things about our own already.

One of the quiz provider feeds that I like going to is BuzzFeed Quiz which is very active and creates creative (and not so creative) quizzes on everyday basis. I like BuzzFeed in general; I am subscribed to their mailing list and almost every night I would check one or two links of their top picks on trending articles (and send a few stand-out ones to Luis to read while I have already been sleeping, hehehe, such as "Internet Explorer is Finally Being Killed After Years of Merciless Mockery", "25 Life-Changing Style Charts Every Guy Needs Right Now", and "Here are 20 Meals You Can Make in 20 Minutes"; you get the idea), but the quizzes are the highlight of the email.

Mar 26 evening, I found this one on my subscription list: How Dutch are You?


I just gotta do it right. It was already fun for me (also knowing that I am "not very Dutch", hahaha), but I knew it was something that Luis had just gotten to do too! I expected to be entertained by his result only (which apparently is also that he is "not very Dutch" either, hihihihi, this is among the things that ensures me his Spanish side is much more dominant than the Dutch side), but boy, was I wrong! 

Each question (statements, in this case) triggered a discussion that is both interesting and enriching! Not only did I learn HEAPS about him, I also learned a lot about The Netherlands and Dutch people in general. We had such a great time going through each and every point and you guessed it, it's not something that we (at least I) found easy to move on from. :)

Taking online quizzes: super recommended!

Mar 24 - Little Things Mean the Most

Everything was just normal when I woke up Aug 23 morning.


Six beautiful heart-shaped coasters, a coffee mug with "Home is where the heart is" quote, and an unbelievably sweet note later, I am crowned The Happiest Girl in the World.

Ssh, I think it's permanent!

Mar 18 - His Biggest Pet Peeve (with Proof)

So my man was going through old pictures of him, then he suddenly asked me for a picture of me where I have my brows done, followed by a question, "What's the app to make a collage again, Baby?"
I could only wonder what for, but I gave the picture and mentioned "Pic Collage" nevertheless, since it's the only one collage-maker app he has in his phone (I installed it last summer).

Fortunately, it wasn't too long till I got to see this, umm, eyebrows-painting resemblance.

The caption was, "OMG.... Apparently I also did my brows when I was little!"

I told you, he hates my eyebrows that bad! :'D

Mar 16 - His Biggest Pet Peeve

If there is anything Luis hates the most, out of everything I do, is when I'm doing my eyebrows.
He just despises it!


Hahahahaha..
There's number one, then comes cutting my hair and me wearing colored contacts.
Other than that, he's a happy camper.
