Excuse Me While I Get All Facebook-ish
It’s one of those nights again when I want to update my blog but sleep wins over. I am not a fan of posting memes but this one I gotta do! This has been going around Facebook for quite some time now–or so I heard. I still have to get bitten by the Facebook bug.
This is for couples and about couples. Being one half of a couple, I figured it’s worth sleeping ten minutes later than I should. And then, I thought, how about reeling him into this so that my beloved (three) readers could get a glimpse of the man behind the initials? After exercising the classic woman’s power of persuasion, I was able to cajole him (not without force, one might say) into pounding onto the keyboard his answers to the following questions which he later (surprisingly) posted on his friendster blog. So here’s to Facebook glory…
What are your middle names?
-His is Sarcasm, mine is Diva. But in instances when we decide to live like normal human beings, his middle name becomes Garde and mine Decinan.
How long have you been together?
–almost two years…give or take a few days in between when we debated on whether our anniversary falls on the 18th or the 26th.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
–He had set his eyes on me in May 2007 but decided he just gotta have me so we started hanging out a month after.
Who asked whom out?
–We debate a lot–even on this issue. But here’s the story:
I was looking for a place to stay. He drew me a sketch of some place. But decided to accompany me anyway. We searched for a place for days–like Mary and Joseph–and always ended up having dinner after by sheer necessity. Then I remember one night when someone said, “hey, let’s have dinner.” And then someone replying, “are you asking me out on a date?” And someone retorting “no way!”. And the other replying, “ok fine. let’s have dinner.”
I just can’t figure who said which.
How old are each of you?
-He is old 33. My age is a secret only a privileged few knows.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
-together? HIS.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
–being a couple in a traditional, idealistic society. No further comment.
Did you go to the same school?
–nope. otherwise, we would have been each other’s bad influence, being both delinquent students then.
Are you from the same home town?
–no. he’s a manila boy who moved to the province. I am a little town girl.
Who is smarter?
–he is. but i am more driven and obsessive-compulsive when it comes to things that I really set my heart on. I am the better writer; he is the better speaker.
Who is the most sensitive?
–we both are. we both cry at sad movies. hahahaaha!
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
–we are fickle-minded eaters. we often go all the way to a certain restaurant only to decide there and then that we want to go someplace else…so we hop on to another restaurant…then another…until we end up eating in some joint that serves bad food.
Where is the farthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
–we’re planning on going somewhere far. always planning.
Who has the craziest exes?
–well, he doesn’t have an ex who had threatened to commit suicide should the relationship end but is now very much alive still even after the relationship indeed ended. but then again, he did have an ex who….(EDITED to protect the identities of the people involved). So it’s a draw.
Who has the worst temper?
–he spits out a litany of cuss words when he gets really pissed. I, on the other hand, just walks out. So it’s him, hands down.
Who does the cooking?
–he does, because he has an evil plan of making me fat. I only bake so I bake him delicious cakes. because I, too, have an evil plan. mwahahaha!
Who is the neat-freak?
–I am. he’s a slob. he picks crackers and stuff on the floor when he drops some and eats them just to disgust me!
Who is more stubborn?
–he’s infuriatingly stubbon. I am frustratingly stubborn. Together, we’d give birth to a stone.
Who hogs the bed?
–I do. I want all the space I can get for my propeller body to move around.
Where was your first date?
–if i can remember WHEN, the WHERE would be easy.
Who is more jealous?
–the one who asks questions but never believes the answers.
How long did it take to get serious?
–JJ and I will discuss this in private.
Who eats more?
—he does! he eats off my plate, chews on the bones of my chicken, drinks my water…and even when he knows I’m already full and about to burst, he still stuffs my mouth with more food. asshole.
Who does the laundry?
–sometimes he does. he once took my laundry to the laundry shop and insisted on a same-day RUSH job and paid for it. He went back to claim my laundry 3 days after. That’s his idea of same-day. That’s his idea of rush.
Who’s better with the computer?
–He’s the tech. I’m the tech trainer. Go figure.
