perfect timing

when the bf and i travel, we get plane tickets a week early to get cheaper seats. it has happened that we fly to the metropolis before, during or after a typhoon. one time, we flew to manila when storm signal number two was raised. my mom was more worried than me. we missed pedring by a day, we had already left when it hit. but ramon finally caught up with us. we were stranded for about 24 hours.

during that period, we checked into a travel lodge to sleep. since i don't live with the bf, it's sort of a new experience. i'm not used to having someone else in my bed. and having the bf was kinda weird, even if we have done this countless times through the years. =) my major problem is that i hate the cold. it was raining intermittenly so the outside temperature was low. but the bf felt very hot, so he turned up the airconditioning system full blast. unfortunately, the lodge's blanket was very thin. i hogged the blanket and turned my back on him. at about 5 am or so, i woke and saw him curled up. apparently, he was feeling extra cold already but couldn't share my blanket! hahaha! so we ended up just talking and watching television very early in the morning. we spent the entire day cooped up. we only went out to get something to eat.

being stranded does have its perks. it allows us more uninterrupted time together. however, i was worrying about the baby because he had cough and fever when i left. knowing he was with my parents comforted me, at least he in safe and loving hands. when i called home, he didn't even want to talk because he was busy playing.

our trips are planned perfectly and without fail, our plans often go awry. i just smile when he plots out itinerary because i know it won't get followed anyway. i guess there is no such thing as perfect timing, right?
