We find love in different places

Like Quiapo.

While mom and I were in Quiapo last Monday, we passed by some flower vendors. They had fresh supplies of roses, mums, anthuriums and all sorts of flowers. And I fell in love.

No matter how others say that roses are overrated, they're just so beautiful. Of course there's tulips which I also like but roses are the sweetest thing. Anyway so yeah I fell in love- but I didn't buy them. I revel in the thought that one day I'll receive flowers without the need of an occasion. Because the truth is, the first time I received a rose was during an anniversary of the fraternity (I forget the name) at Benton Hall. I was waiting for my class at Benton when some stranger approached and gave me a red rose. That was freshman year. And the other few times were two Valentine's from PX friends (2008, 2009) and then some bribe I got from "D" and "M" during their comm wars (hehe obviously this one is easy to figure out).

favorite colors of roses: white, peach and yellow

I have yet to experience that kilig moment when a bouquet of flowers greet you surprisingly. But I know in my heart, someone will come and bring me the roses that never fail to make me fall in love. And until then, I'm not gonna buy those beautiful roses.
