Life is indeed a box of chocolates; lots of times there are nuts on it.

I am a technical writer (with loads of non-technical writer work, which i enjoy btw) for the software development leg of a US-based 'know more' company. When not in my office desk, I am lurking around shopping malls and online stores looking for the best portable Ebook reader, which by the way is still unavailable in the Philippines. And no, I don't miss smoking. No, I don't like Chocolates. No, I am not religious. Yes, I love coffee, nothing Frappe please.

Thirty months ago, I was arguing strongly against me. I persistently wanted you to reconsider why you would want to say yes to a relationship with someone like me. Along Piy Margal, while sitting on dirt, and with an armory of discouragements, you still said yes anyway.

Thirty weeks ago, I was struggling with my political science thesis. I was arguing against the science in the political, until you walked me through Statistics. You believed in me. I was never the same - with a margin of error of ±3%.

Thirty days ago, I had troubles keeping up with my patience. I’m not the greatest at handling pressure from multiple angles. I spike, I crack, I breakdance, and I fart with no excuse. But you were always there. With love. With understanding.

Thirty hours ago, we were talking about our all-important future, like how many boxes of nachos to buy and how many salsa dips to go with it. Or like how many hours per day we’ll allocate to cuddling, studying, or playing Plants vs Zombies. Or like how many times we’re allowed to press the alarm snooze before getting out of bed.

Thirty minutes ago, we agreed to sleep the night away and wake up to the first day of the rest of our lives.

I’ll see you at 3 PM today, Honey. Walk some thirty steps down the aisle for me. I’ll be waiting at the other end, with the promise to not let you take a single step alone again. No margin of errors. No farting at will. No snooze.

In journalism, “-30-” is traditionally used to mark the end of an article or story.
We end a story; then we begin a new one.
