Little Pieces of Love

I had my Moment of Solitude after work last Wednesday. I take myself somewhere deeper within when I have this moment. Since I had to go to groceries for some errands, it wasn't the usual peaceful moments. But still, I found tranquility. I looked at things and people in a different perspective. Instead of rushing to get all the things I needed, I took time and breathed every moment.

On my way home, life fed my heart even more with love that I needed to be reminded of.

1) Dancing Traffic Enforcer
These men are unsung heroes. It isn't a joke to be standing under the heat (at times, under the heavy rains) for long hours. How much more dancing? It was seldom that I pass by that intersection. There was once that I saw a dancing enforcer but haven't seen a single smile on his face. It was as if he wasn't glad about what he was doing. Or maybe he got tired of smiling already. Or maybe he was worried about his next steps :P

But that Wednesday afternoon, I was glad that the officer was dancing and smiling at the same time. It takes dedication and passion to enjoy the work that we do everyday. I wanna go out of the cab and give him a handshake and thank him for doing a great job, not just for himself, but most especially for giving people a great service!

2) Father Fetching His Kid From School
I love looking at a picture of a father's love. I saw a man on his motorcycle with his son hugging him from behind and his son's big stroller bag in front. It painted a big smile on face. How sweet the father was of taking his time to show that kind of love. That child was very lucky. It wasn't really about the fetching but more of the power of the hugs that the child gives everytime they spend even just few minutes riding home.

Couldn't search for a picture of dad and child. So just please imagine the two sacks of rice in front to be the big bag. And the 4 sacks to be the child hugging his dad. :P

3) A Man Wiping His Girl's Forehead
I find cute little gestures sooo sweet and gentlemanly. I observed them to be waiting for a ride. The man has glanced on his girl and maybe found something on his girl's forehead and wiped that something away using his palm. Ahhhhhhh... Sooo sweet. Little gestures = Big love. I just find these things romantic and sweet. When a man does even the simplest things for his girl, there's a big love hidden in the heart.

I, too, had my own share of little pieces of love that day.

I received a smile of approval from a person I greatly admire. His eyes were as if saying that I can climb mountains higher than where I am now. Thank you, Sir. You may never know this but you made me believe in greater things again. :)

Drew said, "Thank you." I asked, "What for?" He answered back, "..for everything." Omg! I wanted to sob on my pillows for joy. How could he do this to me? How could he be so kind in words that night? It made my heart so overjoyed.




There's actually a funny story about that line "Thank you for everything." I use that as my favorite break-up line when my mood swings to its highest peak of not wanting him to be in my life anymore... Just because of nothingness. Girl thing... The moods and all. The first time I said that, he got into his ok-let's-fix-this mode. But I've used it several times already that eventually, it became ineffective anymore. I have to think of another line :)

Ok! As I was saying, he said that before we were about to say goodnight..in his gentlest voice. My heart flew away to the clouds. It sounded different coming from him than from me. I wish I were on his side to lean on his shoulder. Just feeling his presence because I actually, as far as i could remember, haven't done him any favor that day. I did not ask for specifics anymore. Him thanking me for everything was the best affirmation that I'm doing a great job as his girl. Yey! How I felt sooo loved! My heart was full.

Love love love!
