Dear Hubby,
This is my first time to write an open letter. Pardon my lack of subtleness but I just have to mention that that means, even if this letter is addressed to only one person (and that is you), it can be read by anybody.
I should’ve posted an entry on this blog long time ago but I was not able to do it and for that I have to blame my new job and how it is taking up most of my time. Before I got that job, I have so much time on my hand. Now, I already forgot how it feels like to be not rushing all the time. But anyway, enough about me and my new job because it’s you I like to talk about right now.
I probably haven’t said it enough but you are really the best thing that ever happened to me. I remembered once when I told you that, you looked at me then you blurted out, “I am not a thing!” Well you see… it’s the way we say it in English (or at least in Filipino English). The “thing” there doesn’t mean an “object” but more like a “circumstance”. I knew you were just kidding when you blurted that out but still, I felt the need to explain. I suppose that’s the teacher in me.
I know you like to make fun of languages as you so often pretend to talk to me in Filipino. For example you’ll say something like “talakmakatakulatukakmatikalpakamalakatamunatiwa” and then bet that there’s a word there somewhere that has a real meaning in Filipino. You said, the Filipino language uses a lot of “a” so it shouldn’t be difficult to learn it. Last time we check, you just know 50 Filipino words with their meanings. After three years of being together, I think you could’ve learn more. You still have my respect though because… well, considering that I am not really teaching you how to speak my language, you were still able to catch and memorize some words from our short trips in my country. You also pretend to speak Chinese sometimes and that is especially funny because you while you do so, you also try to make your eyes smaller and the effect on your handsome face is just hilariously ugly. And what about that very famous Italian song you always sing but instead of using the real song lyrics, you use the names of different pizzas and pastas and other Italian dishes….ha! That always makes me laugh.
You are funny and I really like that about you.
Of course there are also other things I like and love about you but I can’t say it all in one letter. Pardon my lack of subtleness again but that means that from now on, I’ll be writing letters to you on a regular basis on this blog. I know how unoriginal that is but lately, I am finding it easier to write when I pretend that I am just talking to somebody. Imagine, I started writing this letter about 15 minutes ago and now I am almost done. It usually takes me an hour (at least) to think and to write a post (and that is not to say that it is a particularly great post) for this blog so I feel glad that I am about to hit the publish button after a few minutes of typing.
I don’t know if you visit my blogs regularly. I don’t blame you if you don’t because you probably can’t anyway. With your busy schedule and the number of blogs I have, I’d be surprise if you can keep track of all all of them. But I’m sure you’ll find this particular blog (without me telling you) and when you finally do, please don’t be mad that others get to read your letter(s) first, ok?
I love you.
Bussi,
Wifey
