Lately, Lyn and Bernadette have been pairing me off with friends of their friends. They’ve been at it since the beginning of this month which I find amusing coz they’re getting all worked up doing all the planning and they’re so excited about it.
“I’m not looking, you know, " as I’ve repeatedly said, but Bernadette had to insist. “Ay basta! Hindi pwedeng hinde. Ok, si _ _ _ _. May itsura siya, mabait, smart, stable, you’ll like him.” So this friend of Dette’s friend set a date for us on December 5.
Lynn, on the other hand, has set me up for a November 29, Italian dinner date at Carpaccio’s with this guy from UCPB na Bernadette knows pala. “Ton, for the first time, pumayag makipag-blind date si _ _ _. Ayaw makipag-blind date nyan dati." To which Dette interrupted, “Ay, tahimik yun! Baka mainip ka lang, pero try mo pa rin, malay mo, baka nagbago na,” And off they chatted, playing matchmakers, wishing me happily ever after.
You know what I want to do? I want to go White Water Rafting in Cagayan de Oro, do the Canopy walk amidst centuries-old trees and do the Zipline, be able to go to Antulang sometime in the next year or two with my future sweetie and hopefully insert a dive activity (hehe!), get the cooperation of my Borrowers and have them do a cash settlement with me, go to Europe and visit Paris, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, get a new laptop, to expect less and to give more.
Of course its nice to have somebody to love. Almost everyone wants to have someone. Sayang, I’m sure pa naman I’d have good looking kids coz 50% is guaranteed mine. Haha, yabang!
So, as my friends continue setting me up with whoever, I look forward to my badminton games, my dive trips to Anilao and Subic with Bel at the helm, to our new townhouse that’s competing with my Europe fund, and to the quiet moments at home, blogging or reading, with Pitchet looking up at me with his adoring blue eyes.
