7 things I love about my boyfriend

1. He makes me laugh

What's not there love about a guy who makes you laugh, right? I really love his wit. How he can make me laugh in almost any situation. And how he picks on me but still make me laugh along with him. I love how we're able to transform serious un-funny things anything into something so hilarious. Minsan yung tipong kami lang ang nakakaintindi. Hehe. Maybe we're just shallow, but what's important is how he always finds his way into my ticklish sense of humor. Humor is important to me. I dread boring moments :/ and time with him is never boring :)

2. He has his soft side

Pero he's not bading ha! Noah just has this innate sensor of how to handle things in a macho-but-still-emotion-filled way. Haha! Alam mo yon? Hindi super brusko pero lalaking may emosyon na hindi bakla. Do you get what I'm saying? It's really hard to explain. But really so amazing :) Maybe it's because his mother's side of the family (which is like composed of 4.5 girls out of a brood of 7) typically gives meaning to the term "close family ties". And how he grew up really close to his titas and girl cousins. Maybe it's that. Probably what I'm seeing is how he treats girls with so much respect... Which brings me to the next lovable thing about him...

3. He respects me

I think you already know what I mean. And he really does respect me in every aspect. Pero I'm not saying na we're saints or anything like that ha. Big hell NO. We're not. But he knows the limits. When I say stop/no, well yeah he naturally haggles, but still ends up doing what he thinks will be the best for me, or for us. He's makulit, yes. Pero I know he understands. He doesn't want to put me or for me to put myself into situations with chances of me getting "harassed". Before, I think of him as being really narrow minded. But little by little I was able to see the perfectly good motive behind everything. Kelangan pa lang iperfect ang paraan ng pag deliver ;)

4. He complements me

i don't know how or why or whatever, pero we jive. we click. he sorta neutralizes me. and i'd like to believe that i do that to him too :)

5. He knows what I [don't] need

bwahahahaha. he can really control my outrageous side. hahahahaha. but he also knows what to give to me or what to do whatever situation i'm in. love it

6. He has goals and ambitions

ang galing nya! and i'm not saying this kasi girlfriend nya ko, pero idol ko talaga sya! talk about career ladder, that's what he's climbing now. i am really impressed. isn't it such a turn on to see a guy who can balance career, family and love? and one who doesn't let any kind of vise get in the way. that's just really sexy :D

7. He makes me feel special

yeah he does! like no one else can! i love how he treats me like a princess :) and always places me at number1. but i also love how he makes extra effort just to be with me, or just to let me feel how concerned he is, or just to know how i am. no one has ever done that to me before. i love how he makes me think of OUR future and get me all excited about it.

there are sooooooooo many things i'd like to share about him! but i decided not to tell all of them. baka mainggit kayo ng sobra. hahaha. just kidding :)

love you noah!

first time for everything

Oh wow! So this is my first time to do this whole blogging thing.

Okay so maybe i should start with an introduction...

My name is Tam Palis (thus the url conTAMplations. hindi yan wrong spelling. funny lang talaga ako. hahahaha). I am 23 years old. Living semi-independently. I'm working as a project development officer (sorta like an all-around technical staff) somewhere there along the elliptical road of Quezon City. I am a girlfriend to the most wonderful and loving boyfriend in the whole world in the person of Noah Duran ;). For ease of understanding, may I present to you the face of Tamara :p

So I guess that would do. Anyway, I don't really expect other people to read this. Haha. Hhhhmmm.. What do I want to write about?

I really would like this to be an outlet of ALL of my emotions. And I mean all. I am usually not good at putting into words how I'm feeling, but I think this is one way on how I can let myself lose. I also would want to keep track of significant (or even non-significant) events, coz I think I could use that as a therapy of some sort.

Maybe for the following days I'll be able to write something more relevant. Haha. I'd have to learn how to let my emotions roll out in the forms of words and sentences. In that way, I'll be able to re-read them some day and learn from these -- what I did right and/or wrong.

I think that'll be all for now. But expect a lot of rantings, bickerings, celebration, drama, and all other emotion-filled stories in the following days...or weeks...or months. I really hope I'd always get that drive to write. I need to exercise my writing skills.

haha!

all for now.
