But when you're in a relationship, you just want to share every experience with your better half. It's like if you're going to enjoy something alone, you get that nagging feeling that you're just not doing it right. Even if you text him every minute of that day, guilt simply sets in.
So what better idea than to bring him to my hometown? The place I grew up in, where people saw me as the fat kid who never learned how to ride a bike.
The last week of November marked my grandmother's 88th. Of course I have to be there. I haven't attended her birthdays in such a long time and I wanted to be by her side.
When the moment came, we immediately booked a flight from Cebu Pacific's Promo Fares a month away. Of course, this presented us with a whole lot of problems. The first one was the schedule conflict. Unfortunately, Cebu Pacific's Promo Fares are non-refundable and non-transferrable. And frankly, we paid Php 6,000 for our round-trip fare. And to have it rebooked for another date would cost us Php 5,000. Which would ultimately erase the fact that we bought it on a promo fare, to spend less.
To think about it, it would be wise to get these Promo Fares if you're (a) Really really sure or (b) You spend less than 500 on it, so you won't get sad if things go south.
First of all, this event was especially special for us. It was our first plane ride together. I was extra happy that he was all giddy and stuff. Just like a toddler would be.
In Palawan, we were able to go to lots of different places together. But the thing that mattered most for me is that he was able to meet with the family. Seeing him interact with people I love, makes my heart go mushy all-over again. It's hard to explain, and I guess some people just won't understand. But, I'm pretty sure it's love.
