i'm reading this book, The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve. i haven't finished it yet but i'm halfway there. it's a good book, it was part of oprah's book club. it's an old book (published in 1999, i think) but because i buy only bargain books, it took me this long to read it. it only cost me Php40 from the neighborhood surplus shop where i get my books.
anyway, in the book, there's a part where Kathryn says she and her husband got past the "in love" state and were "just loving". i got that. i got her point that at some point your relationship will wane and fade in time. other people's in love stage may last for a month, half a year, a year or longer but eventually it will. i was reading this while i was travelling with the bf and i could totally relate. i guess we are now at the point of just loving. but it's okay. i am quite content with the relationship we have because it still has its moments. maybe because we spend too much time together that somehow everything becomes common, ordinary and routine. but i am proud to say that we do have exciting times still. the bf can be very sweet when he's in the mood and he does know what to say to make your heart melt.
i actually asked the bf what we were doing on valentine's day and he said the usual. the bf isn't big on valentines. he thinks its enough that he gives me expensive flowers. hahaha! but then again, valentine's really is just an ordinary day. he's more looking forward to our anniversary next month than this month's event. whatever!
so even if the bf and i are already at the just loving stage. that i sometimes wish i was doing something else instead of being with him. i would rather hang out with my friends than him. when he is thinking of business stuff even if we're together etc. we are happy. i don't know how long we will keep on just loving though...
