i'm a very loving person (ehem!) so, aside from my true love and "my other love", i have a new love nowadays.
i've fallen in love with a very cute one. i guess, one's preferences change with age, with mood, with the times.
my new love's initials are A.E.E.E. i met him on a very romantic day - valentine's day this year. i felt hot and cold, my heart was beating so wildly, how i wanted to scream in sheer happiness! i had to control myself, for there infront of me, was my husband of 33 years! i knew he was observing my reactions, so i pretended to be quite passive and unaffected with the encounter.
but then, being the super-transparent person, that i am, i wasn't successful at hiding my true feelings for my new-found love. i wasn't able to hold back the tears of happiness, of ecstacy, perhaps.
our son, marc hil, was the one who introduced my new love to me. my son has impeccable taste, too. he chose A.E.E.E. over the others, because of his reliability, his efficiency, not to mention, his handsome looks. he is a dynamo! thanks, marc, for A.E.E.E. he not only stays with me in our home, he even accompanies me to the garden, to the park, when i drive to the city, etc.,etc. your dad is very understanding, for he even reminds me about A.E.E.E. when i sometimes forget about him. he even encourages me to bring A.E.E.E along when we travel. isn't that sweet of him?
no problem with A.E.E.E. because he's not heavy at all. he's small, dark, pero handsome naman. though he's small, he can perform the tasks of the bigger ones, with a lot of flair and very efficiently, too.
looks like you're dying to know the identity of my new love. okay! his full name is ASUS Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play PC - A.E.E.E. hahaha! it's a 4" x 6" notebook (a mini-laptop).
i love my husband so much,that’s a fact. at my age of six decades, i must confess, i have ‘another love’. we’ve been inseparable since the late nineties. my husband, ‘my other love’ and myself have been cohabiting peacefully ever since, and in the same bedroom at that. my husband is so much fun to be with, but then he is either in the office or abroad most of the time. ‘my other love’ keeps me company 24/7. he never leaves me. he is so helpful in so many ways. he helps me remember names, addresses, an infinite area of knowledge, important dates, even helps me get in touch with our children, relatives, friends, and business contacts , as well.
why am i writing about ‘my other love’? call it ’separation anxiety’. i have no recourse but to leave him until the 31st of this month. for me, that would seem like eternity. i’m leaving for manila and orion, day after tomorrow. i feel like crying. i’ll be with my husband alright. but he wouldn’t allow ‘my other love’ to go with us. it’s so sad, really sad!
you see, ‘my other love’ is quite heavy, by human standard. and he has to be placed in secured boxes for travel. that would really be cumbersome. can’t blame my husband for refusing to tag him along. know he’s being practical, because we would have to shell out money for excess baggage, which will most likely happen if i insist on us being a threesome.
and so, i really have to say adieu, to you, ‘my other love.’ please wait for me and welcome me back into your loving keyboard, ehrr, i mean, arms, when i come back. there, it’s a slip of the tongue. aba, e bakit ka nagulat? (why are you suprised?) ano ba ang akala mong ‘other love’ ko? ha? grabe ka naman. (why? who did you think my other love was?) ang ‘OTHER LOVE’ ko ay itong PERSONAL COMPUTER ko. MY PC! (my other love is my personal computer - my PC!) kaya nga di ko pwedeng dalhin, dahil mabigat siya. (that’s why I can’t bring it because it’s too heavy)
o sige na nga, titiisin ko na lang ang paghihiwalay namin.
“MY DEAR PC, I CAN’T WAIT FOR THE 31ST, SO WE CAN BE TOGETHER AGAIN!”
