WHEN A TYPICAL DAY BECOMES ATYPICAL

Today’s supposed to be just like any ordinary day. Thursday–a workday for me (well, sort of) and Hubby, school day for Nico. A typical day that’s anticipated to be as hectic and as busy just like the usual days.

Buy hey, a makulit na preschooler woke me up early with lots hugs and kisses, and utters of I Love Yous and singing of a jolly song. I wondered why.

And the Hubby, whose not-at-all romantic, behaved unusual early today as he surprised me with a bunch of flowers (not that expensive though, it’s from Dangwa he confessed, nyahaha) and a gift that he said also serves as both for today and our 7th wedding anniversary come December (kuripot talaga!).

And when I checked my mobile phone that’s been on silent mode for the last 12 hours, lots and lots of text messages and missed calls confronted me. The mobile phone, an old-rotten Nokie 3300, if only it could speak, it seemed wanting to say: “Tama na please, message memory almost full, I’ll be on low-batt, stop calling!” “What’s all the fuzz?” I said to myself. And when I started checking and retrieving the messages, the thought of what this day was all about started to sink in my mind. Text messages and missed calls were from families, friends and loved ones which were not at all surprising, except for one text message from someone whose not really close to me but afforded to send a heart-warming message:

Hehe, we’re not that close but I remember voluntarily giving my mobile phone number to him when I applied for a housing loan back in 2002 and he’s very generous enough because he lent me money that is payable through salary deduction for 25 years. Five years has passed since the loan grant and surprising he did text me just this year. Whic then led me to thinking if I should expect to receive some more text messages from him for the next 20 years. LOL.

Anyway, I’ve said to myself, I’ll try not to take this day so seriously, and not to feel so special at all (like how the big day was celebrated last year) for it’s an indication that I am already out of the calendar days. But still I remembered. I know, no matter how hard I try to avoid, reality bites telling me straight that the dreaded day has come. And it’s today–when a typical day becomes atypical.

End of sentiment.
