While having a smoke at the back of my workplace, I suddenly realized that I missed going to the grocery with Him. Why? I asked myself. Why did I became so engrossed with this out of the blue feeling of loneliness? well then, let me go back to the past, Back when I was still in the Philippines.
When I was working in Makati, I would always have my groceries done either in Landmark or SM. I LOVE LOVE LOVE (Emphasis on the LOVE) to go sa Grocery. It is my place of peace and relaxation. Some people go there just to buy their daily needs and go back to their normal lives. I on the other hand, go there to calm my nerves down. Especially kapag stressed out ako. Groceries are my Happy Place, I go to each isle and inspect what are the latest items they have or kung anu mga nakalagay na ingredients for each items. Favorite kong din pumunta sa Bread Sections, lalo na sa Landmark that time kasi sila palang ung nakita kong grocery that has self serving stations for different kinds of breads (Think Bread Talk Style). I love their pandesal. Advantage din kasi sa Callcenter ako nag-wowork so I go to the mall early in the morning. I am almost always positive din that my favorite brand of cookies will be available. That time din it was really hard to find St. Ive's Apricot Scub and dun ko lang siya nahahanap. They also have the food court very near sa grocery so it was really a perfect combination especially for me. I also vaguely remember a grocery that I also go to at Chino Roces where they have one of the best ensaymadas. It was Shopwise I think.
Then I transferred to Quezon City and work for my Uncle's Manpower Agency. Dun ko naman naranasan mag-Grocery sa WalterMart around Muñoz, SM North Edsa at ang SnR. More than 3 years din ako tumira sa area na yun. Siyempre pag Agency sobrang stress, so pag alam kong kelangn ko nang mag unwind, pupunta ako dun at uubusin ko ang oras ko kaka-libot hanggang mapagod ako.
Now, going back sa kwento ko, I was making drama last week pa kasi parati siyang overtime sa office and I was left all alone. Partida nyan halos everyday kumakain na ako sa labas or mag tatake-out nalang kasi mag isa nga lang ako. Then came friday. I was waking him ng medyo maaga para mag grocery kami so i can cook a proper breakfast pero he was so sleepy! as in nag-iinarte na ako sa sobrang inis! So I ended up going there by myself. Nung single pa kasi ako pangarap ko talaga na may makasama ako sa grocery na partner ko and doing this habit of mine. Sobrang asar talaga as in!!
Then I finally remembered that for the last 5 years na magkasama kami, parati naman talaga siya ang kasama ko, We would separate nga lang once andun na kami sa loob kasi pag sabay kami we would almost always make away na. Matipid kasi sya na person, eh ako basta alam kong may pera ako sige bira lang ng bira pag bili. Grabe naman kasi sa over kung mag-Sale dito sa Dubai. So kung sa supplies hindi ka mauubusan, pera nalang talaga ang kulang! hehehe...... But in all honesty, I love him because of that. He made me understand the value of things. To think before I buy, to prepare ourselves for the future and making me realize that even if we don't have a lot, we have more than enough. Contentment ika nga nila.
This is not actually a complaint but a simple memory that I want to cherish. I have had this habit lately of taking things for granted (Sorry Babe!!) but by reminding myself of this things makes me realize that I do have a good life, it may be simple but it does make me understand that I am more blessed now than before and that is something that I have to be thankful for.
