Down With Cold

After a few days of running nose, cough and headaches, I finally decided to take MC today. The whole office has been very thin on manpower lately with staff going on long leave, on course, on reservist, etc. But I was just too sick to head to work.

Then I receive an email this morning. I realise the department has been so reliant on me that I had only took a day MC, but it requires 4 staff to cover my work. I think I seriously need this break to recuperate.

12 Cards

I finally received the cards today, all 12 of them from JD. To celebrate our 1st anniversary, JD has planned 12 themes for each day starting from The Day. Based on each theme, there's a card with a collage of photos printed on one side and a short write-up on the other. There's also a gift to go along with it.

Each card has been very creatively designed by JD to have its unique meaning to suit the theme. The collage was most probably done in Photoshop. And along with the write-up and gifts, I think JD must have placed tremendous amount of effort into all of them. I think I'm gonna go get a nice little tin box to keep all his cards so that I won't lose them.

Thank you JD!

Apprehension

Tempers become so volatile that they snap at the slightest disagreement. Conflicts happens every other day only to be resolved by ignorance.

The signs were obvious but I choose to turn a blind eye. Apprehension came to me like a brick on the head yesterday. He no longer holds my hand as he steers his way through the crowded dance floor like he used to. He no longer introduces his friends to me almost as if I'm invisible. He no longer bothers about his promises... The list goes on, but I think I'm ending this entry before I get more upset.

Reflection

I recall a friend telling me that when a relationship reaches one year, you will get a pretty good idea whether it's made to last. As much as I wanna remain confidently hopeful, I keep a reserve of conservative scepticism. We are just two very identical people with very different ideologies.

Today marks one. I have loved JD with all my heart for 365 days.

A Time for Everything

There's a time and place for everything. And that's the theme for the upcoming anniversary's celebration. JD is in for a suite of surprises.
