Meet my ALEX

04-24-2010 Saturday

Out of the blue, I decided to list down the things I know about Alex. I think being a girl, I'm good at being attentive to details about my special someone. Guys, on the other hand, are a completely different subject when it comes to sentimental shits and remembering stuff. That's how insensitive they are.

I was thinking this because he's the one that has lasted this long with me. One straight year of ups and downs, good and bad, tears and smiles and in spite of everything, I find myself falling even more instead of falling out of love like what used to happen before in my past relationships. Now that we've been together for a year, I just want to remember the things I've known about him, so that I can also make a comparison of what made him different to my past boyfriends, haha.

Kidding aside, if I may just share, he's not someone that stands out in the crowd or something, he's someone you might consider good looking at a quick glance (haha) but he's not the kind of good looking that drives hot chicks mad. He's just a regular guy, without money on his pocket, who gets by everyday by some strange mercy of fate. Not the kind of dreamguy most girls dream about but to me, he's fine just the way he is.

What I like about our relationship is that we know each other, there's that connection that goes way beyond, something I've never had with my previous relationships.

Here goes my list:

*Alex adores cars and motorcycles. Most especially motorcycle, that's why he loves his new Mio to death. If there will ever be a mistress in our relationship, it will be the damn Mio. He takes care of it like it's a child that needs much attention. Sometimes I envy his time spent with that thing than his time with me, oh well, at least it's not a girl.

*He's a motorcycle drag racer. I've shown my disapproval for his risky hobby and we've even had fights about it. He said he won't race again after the crying fit I had when we were in Cavite and I witnessed how terrifyingly dangerous it is, but lately, I had a feeling that he's up to it again. I don't want to contradict anymore, as long as I don't see him at it so I don't worry much.

*He's an all around guy. He's a cellphone technician, a mechanic, a cook, a hell of a driver and everything in between. The jack of all trades type. I used to wonder how he managed to learn a lot of things but then I noticed how nosy he is, I stopped wondering.

*His favorite dish? Beef Pares.

*Like I mentioned, he's a hell of a driver, and I don't mean just because he's good at handling the wheels, it's also because he knows the twists, turns,and shortcuts to every damn street anywhere. From Manila area to his hometown Cavite, to Laguna, to Bicol, to Nueva Ecija, name it, he'll drive you there.

*He likes kids. In the boarding house, kids are everywhere and I'll never understand why he never lose his patience with all the screaming, crying and tugging and all those annoying things kids do. Maybe he thinks it's cute, for me it's not. Siggh.

*He wears nothing but boxer shorts when he sleeps.

*He always has a lit cigarette with him whenever he would take a dump.

*He doesn't believe in the power of perfume. He's like a cat that feels comfortable smelling his own scent. I've given him a perfume as a gift last year and I rarely smell him with it so I think this year, I need to think of something else to give him. Darn.

*He thinks he's oozing with sex appeal but I always beg to disagree. :D

So there, just some things I wanna share about him. I've talked about him in most of my posts so I decided to list down some basic stuff about him that some readers (if I have readers on this blog..hmmm) don't know yet for y'all to get to know him a bit more.

Maybe in writing this, some people who knew me already can come up with the verdict if we're a match made in heaven or the other way around. If it's the other way around, uhh..opposites attract right? Sheesh, I appreciate an honest opinion even though it's not really necessary.
