한달, 한사랑

Shades of Purple

한달, 한사랑. 

(Romanization: Han dal, han sarang; English Translation: One moon, one love.)

It is no secret to everyone that I love stars, but there is one thing they probably do not about me. I also love the MOON. Why the moon? When I was a little kid, my parents would always ask me "Baby, where's the moon?" I'll look up in the sky and when I see it, I will point at it and show my mom and dad that there is the moon. When my brother was born, they did the same thing. The moon is probably the first heavenly body that I know.

Well, of course, nowadays, I do not point at the moon like that, because I'm a grown-up. (Or not? Haha.) Whenever I see the moon, I would simply stare at it and admire everything about it. Its shape, its color, its brilliance in the sky. I am just at awe. Not only it gives light during nighttime, but also, Earth only has one moon. Unlike other planets which has 66 moons (Jupiter), 62 moons (Saturn), 27 moons (Uranus), 13 moons (Neptune), 2 moons (Mars), and Mercury and Venus having none.

Staring at the moon is my relaxation. At night, I will go to our balcony and see if the moon is shining out there. Sometimes, I do not have to go out to see its brilliance because I can see it through my window. It's like peeking on me. Have you noticed that the moon has an eye and a nose? When I stare at it, I can see its eyes and nose. (I don't know if you also see the same, or I am just weird.) 

So what is the relevance of "ONE MOON" to "ONE LOVE" in this post? This may sound so corny, but I want to share with you what the moon is to me. I am sure you've heard about this somewhere.

As I stare at the moon each evening, I keep on wondering if the one I love looks at it too. Because if he does, even if we are miles and miles apart, we'll be staring at only one moon. Therefore giving me romantic chills. It gives me a romantic feeling. The feeling, "My girl, I'm missing you. Do you miss me too?" (I hope you get my point. Hahaha)

Whenever I look at the moon nowadays, I always think of you. Thinking if you think of me too. Sometimes it makes me sad because the answer for that is an obvious one. My star is you, my moon is you. You may ask why? Because during my darkest days, when I was hurting and my heart was bleeding, you're the one who showed me the light. You're the one who gave light to my "dark night". And now that your light is shining so brightly in my sky, I am afraid that that light will want to shine for someone else. Or someone may get it away from me. I am very afraid losing that light in my sky again.

Just like the moon, in my sky you are the only one. In my heart you are the only one. Even if you want to shine more brightly on other skies, I will always be looking for the moon that I love.

How are you my moon, my star, my LOVE? xo

Patience in waiting? I have none. But not in love.

Honestly, I am not the type of person who likes to wait. I get so irritated if a friend or someone arrives later than expected. PATIENCE IN WAITING? I have none. Normally, when I make plans with someone I'll always say, "Subukan mong ma-late tignan mo kung kakausapin pa kita." (Try to be late and see if I ever talk to you again.) But of course, I am only threatening them. I don't talk to them but just for an hour or so, but never forever.

One day, my friend and I planned to meet somewhere for a school-related activity. I got so annoyed because she arrived two hours later than what have been planned. She knew I was angry. Inside the car, I wasn't talking, wasn't moving, wasn't doing anything. When she finally had the courage, she said sorry. And though I am still very mad, I let it pass. We did what we had to do and ate somewhere. While we were waiting for our food she then asked me, "Lagi ka bang ganyan? Ayaw mo nang nag-hihintay?" (Are you always like that? You don't like waiting?) I nodded because I'm too sleepy and too lazy to talk. "Sa love ba hindi ka rin nag-hihintay?" (You don't wait? Even in love?) Luckily, our food arrived so I do not have to answer her awkward question. We aren't that close so I don't want to talk to her 'bout it.

The whole day her question kept popping into my head. It was echoing in my ears. What if the food did not arrive at that time? What would I tell her? SIMPLE. Love is a different case. In love, I always have the patience to wait. I've been doing that for quite a long time now. I do not rush LOVE. I came from a relationship which was very heartbreaking. The reason was that, it was very rushed. After that heartbreaking experience I realized that love should not be rushed. I learned from that experience, and it made me what I am now.

Now, I am patiently waiting for my one true love. I currently have someone in my heart. But, that person is not yet ready, and so am I. We still have a lot of things ahead of us. It was when I met him, I learned the true meaning of WAITING. I do not worry. As the saying goes, "If it's meant to be, it will be." If it's not, well that's too bad, but at least we had the chance to know each other. xo
