Wow. I can't believe I've been with Marco for ONE YEAR! Yes, that's right, we've crossed the one-year mark. Whoo-hoo!
And we had the awesomest first anniversary ever ^_^ (yes I'm aware that the phrase awesomest first anniversary doesn't make much sense but I'm too high to care)! I mean, wow. Seriously. OK, Angelica, get it together. *breathes* Anyway, like I said, today rocked! Marco's anniversary gifts were so awesome! He gave me a necklace with a GOLD leaf on it and APPLE CIDER and of course, a poem! ^_^ And it was so cute how he wore the exact same outfit that he wore on our first date! I felt a slightly bummed out since I had only one gift for him - I got him the graphic novel version of Stardust, which was the movie we watched on the day we became boyfriend and girlfriend. Maybe I should have given him coffee pie too, considering I said yes to him at Chateau Ortigas's closing party XD. Anyway, we went to Trinoma, and we basically just wandered around and looked at manga and heroclix and clothes and of course, we eventually gravitated towards Powerbooks. Lit nerd that I am, I started browsing for the books our Lit professor told us to read over the summer, and I found this totally awesome version of Voltaire's Candide with comics on its cover! I'd already reserved a copy at Fully Booked though, so Marco was the one who bought it. Some time afterwards, we found Zara and I couldn't resist dragging Marco into the store (not that it ever takes much dragging since Marco's more into clothes than I am). Awesome guy that he is, Marco patiently waited for me to look at everything in the teen's and women's section before we got to the men's section. There, I managed to redeem my anniversary's lack of awesomeness by buying Marco a fedora we both liked! By that time we'd spent about four and a half hours in Trinoma - before that, I'd never realized how much time you can spend doing nothing in a mall without realizing it!
Anyway, we decided it was time to search for Tokyo Cafe in SM North Edsa! I'd been dying to eat there since Marco showed it to me in MOA (we were both already full and in a hurry to get to the cinema at the time). It took us a little while to find a way to cross to SM and then to find The Block, but eventually we did :). The Block had surprisingly less people in it than the rest of SM North Edsa O_o'. I never imagined there could be any part of an SM that wasn't teeming with mall rats (why does that sound so derogatory?). Anyway, it was wonderfully quiet, and while looking for Tokyo Cafe, lit majors that we are, we found FULLY BOOKED! Marco gravitated towards the graphic novels section while I looked for Umberto Eco. Our prof was right - his titles disappear quickly O_O'. There was only one somewhat tattered copy of "The Island of the Day Before," and no "Foucault's Pendulum" to be found. Meanwhile, Marco spotted an issue of the Green Lantern that he'd wanted since forever! We agreed to spend our money on Tokyo Cafe first, and if the books we wanted were still there by the time we got back, we were meant to buy them. Oh, and while we passed the time in Fully Booked, we spotted this book and a new catch phrase was born XD:
Tokyo Cafe was awesome! Marco ordered a dish called "hamburg shrimp" while I got a gyoza burger, and we split a pepperoni pizza. Afterwards, we had a New York cheesecake and vanilla ice cream with espresso sprinkled on it! That was the best! ^_^ Afterwards, Marco tied his hair back and put his new fedora on and wow...it matched what he was wearing perfectly and he looked so hot! Yes he did XD. I was such a proud girlfriend. Too bad I forgot my camera, so I can't share it with you guys ^_^". I'll just have to hope I have a phone with a camera by the time he wears that outfit again.
When we returned to Fully Booked, both "The Island of the Day Before" and "Sinestro Corp War Vol. 2" were still there (wow, I've just realized what a geeky couple we are)! I also managed to reserve the last copy of Moliere's Tartuffe at Fully Booked High Street! ^_^ Afterwards, we took our purchases home (aka my house) and ended the night by marathoning "How I Met Your Mother" while drinking apple cider! ^_^ Today was just the best day ever!
