the day the queen was fooled

i suck. i knew from the start that my boyfriend loves to tease and play a prank on me... so why didn't i see his april fool's day prank coming??? one good reason would be that an april fool's day prank is just too obvious... another is that i didn't think he would actually honor the april fool's day celebration... the truth is, it was all about TIMING... yup, he started his prank the eve of april fool's...

SITUATION:
he was fired by his employer due to cost-cutting

TARGET:
yours truly

RESULT:
slapped him hard on his stomach and threw curses at him

when he told me the night before april fool's that he was retrenched, i felt so bad for him that i couldn't stop my tears from falling... i tried so hard to make him laugh with my conceited remarks while we were in the bus just so he wouldn't have time to think about what happened to him earlier... i lost my appetite but i forced myself to eat just so we can stay together longer... all the time we were together all i could think of was how to make him feel better... i thought that i can sleep it off but the thought of no longer going home together, eating dinner together and just doing nothing together left a hole inside of me... i was constantly thinking of it during my routine, even when i took a bath... i was praying so hard that he was just pulling a prank on me... i guess, god has a special spot for me... hehe ;)

we met in glorietta the night of april fool's and he was acting suspicious... first, he went in at 7 pm when we originally agreed to meet by 6 or 6:30 since he's not doing anything (supposedly) at home... next, he was dressed to impress (he usually wears casual when we go out)... third, he was carrying his bag...

DULAY: bat may bag kang dala?
CHIBI: para may lagyan ako ng payong
DULAY: pwede mo kayang dalhin lang yun.
CHIBI: eh sanay nakong may bag eh.

so i let it pass... maybe he really wasn't used to not carrying a bag... but one more thing kept on bothering me...

DULAY: kala ko 6 tayo magmimeet e.
CHIBI: galit ka?
DULAY: hindi... malungkot lang.
CHIBI: ahh...
DULAY: bakit late ka na umalis?
CHIBI: madami kasi akong tinapos e...
DULAY: sa dorm?
CHIBI: (chie face) sa ofis!
DULAY: PUT*N* IN@!!!! (very hard slap to stomach)

WHY OH WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT COMING??? oh well, i guess that prank made me realize just how much i value him... that his down moment has the power to affect me so much... my only regret is i didn't get to pull one off on him... oh well, there's always next year! ;)
