Cranberry Playlist Getting Closer…
Days and weeks have passed, and we continued to have wonderful conversations after every shift. And I started looking forward to each time our shift ended because it would mean that I’d get to spend time with her. Being the person that I am, I sometimes tend to lose interest in talking. Although it may seem awkward, the fact is that I just tend to get lost in her eyes. Luckily, there’s Liana to always make the save whenever that happens.Liana is the type of friend I never knew that I’ll be having for life. She’s a little skinny woman who tends to be loud and awkward but is brutally honest. She’s like the sister I never had. There are times I would just meet up with her to talk about whatever the hell I’m doing with my life, what my plans are, and what I will do about my feelings for Audrey. “So, Liana. Thanks for seeing me even on such short notice,” I said as I invited her to see me one night. Or morning. It was a little past midnight in January. I couldn’t stop thinking
Cranberry Playlist Getting Closer…
One day, I suddenly remembered a plan I had when I was a little kid. A plan that I wanted to do for so long – with the right person. I had a gut feeling that I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else but her. I remember that she mentioned “beach” when we hung out last time. So I collected the courage I had that day and sent Audrey a message. “Hey, Audrey. I was wondering if you had plans over the weekend?” To which she responded, “No, Paul. Why?” “I was wondering, have you ever been to Baler?” I asked nervously. “No. But I’d love to go there!” she said. “I’m planning to go and spend the weekend there. Would you like to tag along?” I continued. “Oh my! Sure! I just need to finish some household chores and let my father know. That would be awesome!” she exclaimed. “Cool! Now I don’t have anything planned. You’re okay with doing things there on-the-fly?” I replied. “Yesss!” she said.Surprised with what just transpired, I couldn’t contain my happiness and jump
Cranberry Playlist My Past Continues To Haunt Me…
Audrey and I had been dating for months. We continued our after-shift breakfast dates; we watched every single Marvel Cinematic Universe film, as I’ve convinced her to be a fan of the movie franchise as well. We were having the time of our lives.And after some time, we planned on going to Baguio for our anniversary. The cool breeze, strawberries, and nature will definitely be nice. Another plan coming up at that time was me meeting her parents. Audrey hadn’t told them about the kids yet, and we were planning on doing so when I met them.Everything’s great, wonderful, and amazing!Last week was the company’s anniversary. The hall looked a little smaller with all the balloons on the ceiling and colorful wall decorations. As the night shifters’ work was almost ending, the day shifters started coming in to replace them. “Hey guys! How was your weekend?” asked Liana. “Great! I spent time with Paul’s kids last Sunday. They were really nice kids,” said Audrey. “Yeah, th

It’s the day I get to meet Audrey’s family. I don’t know how they’re going to like me after seeing their daughter come home with a red left cheek because of my ex-girlfriend. I don’t even know how they’re going to react when I tell them that I have kids to begin with.Audrey and I headed out for our usual after-shift date. The sun was shining and the atmosphere felt great, but I couldn’t stop worrying about our lunch with Audrey’s family later. At McDonald’s, “One Call Away” was playing when we came in.Audrey ordered her usual 2-piece pancakes, and I ordered a sausage McMuffin with egg and iced coffee. “So, are you ready for later?” Audrey asked. “Not really. I’m really worried. I don’t think that they’re going to like me,” I answered. “Relax. My dad is a bit opinionated, but he’s a good person,” she reassured me. “Okay, okay. I won’t think much about it. Should we bring a cake for later?” I asked. “Sure, they’d love a simple chocolate cake,” she answered.Audrey
Cranberry Playlist Our First Anniversary…
The Baguio trip was taking place. I was sure that this would relieve us from the “Poison Ivy incident” and just let us continue on with what we have. I still feel that we still have that connection. And although our relationship was not perfect, it was working – or so I thought back then.At this point, she had been promoted for the first time, and I was really amazed and proud of her success. The people who came with us were her teammates who apparently became my friends as well. “We’re here!” Liana screamed. Everybody else in the van was startled because Liana had this very distinct high-pitched voice. “What in the world?” I said in surprise, but I immediately laughed afterwards. “Love, wake up. We’re already here,” I gently whispered to Audrey’s ear.Her eyebrows twitched, and her eyes slightly opened when she said, “Five more minutes, please…”That was one of her catchphrases. “Five more minutes.” That’s how Audrey was. When she sleeps – she freaking sleeps. No a
Cranberry Playlist Audrey’s Driving School
Audrey is the kind of partner that you’d also like to be your best friend. She loves to share the things that are happening to her, share stories about what she wants to achieve, laugh easily at your jokes, and help you learn things that you never thought you’d needed.One night, for some reason, we were driving around Fairview. I don’t really remember why we were there in the first place, but I think we were just out for a date. We had a nice dinner.Out of the blue, she said, “Paul, would you like to learn how to drive?” “Whoa… I’m not sure if I can learn, but I’d love to,” I said while putting my hands together. “Okay. The first thing to remember when driving is to relax. Also, I’d really like for you to learn because I can’t always be the one driving us. You have to do your share as well. I’m the lady! HAHA!” “Of course you are. I’d be willing to face my fears for you. I always think that if you jump a cliff, I’ll be right next to you – without hesitation,” I said w

Some time had passed since our anniversary trip. The continuous driving lessons, nice dinners and we were still having a good but sometimes toxic relationship. I think I have a huge role to play regarding the latter. I slipped into depression through the course of what happened between me and my ex. There’s more into it that I can put into words. And I know, Audrey was deeply affected by it too, but we still tried to make things work. I decided to move out of Limefy to take a break. I was exhausted. The reason is that I’m always getting into unwarranted altercations with people due to my frustration on how my career has been.Through it all, Audrey was still supportive.I took a month off to plan a business with a couple of friends. Everything was set in motion. Audrey, being the very encouraging partner that she is, continued to support this venture. She even took the time to go with me on meetings and all the stuff that came along with it. “Hey, love. Good morning! Can

As mentioned in an earlier entry, she taught me how to drive. She was eager to make sure that I am formidable as she didn’t want me to get into trouble should we get to have our own car. But that urge to teach didn’t end with just me. She also wanted to bring our friends on board the wagon. Which brings us to a special time when they dragged me to Tagaytay. “I’m excited!” she said in a jolly tone. “For what? Wait. Do you have any plans on Sunday?” “For Saturday! I don’t have any moolah though, but still! I hope we don’t get to spend much in Tagaytay! And no, I don’t think I have any plans this Sunday. Although we might go home Sunday morning. Why?” “Oh. You’d be spending all night there? Because I was planning to get a haircut on Sunday.” “Really? We’ll leave in the afternoon. The original plan was just to go to U.P., but they decided to go further. So definitely, we’ll take until the morning before being able to go home.” “Who’s going to drive?” “Me and Ian. We’l
