To Owe One For

Halo to all.

I know... I'm 19 days too late saying this but... Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully, what ever you wished for 2014 will come true. :) As for me, I still stuck to the generally same resolutions I wished each year, like becoming a better person and bla bla bla. But there is one in significance I wished for: "I wish 'it' were real, and that 'it' goes on forever" (I'd praise you if you knew this has to do with Romance. :3).

Oh, in case you don't know me well, my Birthday was exactly a week ago, that is on 11th January. Too bad I had no real surprises. :( Anyway, to celebrate 19 Years Of Age, I'm gonna spurt out another 19 Facts about me all over this blog page (Decript "In New End Dose" if you're unsure what I'm implying here. :P). If you want to see the original 20 Facts about me, you can look it up in Instagram @JJPaoloSA. With that, I shall now present...

Another 19 Facts About Me

1) I look through anything that is not much of other people's concern, like knowing various car plate numbers of a particular bus service.
2) The furthest I've traveled to is my home country, the Philippines.
3) I used to play the Piano up to its Grade 2 level.
4) Huge fan of action-paced Marvel Movies, like the Iron Man films.
5) I speak four languages: English, Chinese, Tagalog, and French.
6) I feel more comfortable with an outing that includes at most 3 people.
7) While at home, if I watch something that brings humor, even at the slightest bit, I would laugh hysterically loud.
8) I'd do my best to look, feel, and smell classy whenever I want to.
9) I have the desire to experience snow... Real snow!
10) I sleep in a Fetus position, perhaps its because I want to mimic what it is like to cuddle with someone.
11) Favorite car brand: Subaru.
12) As a kid, I drew a hecking lot of SBS bus designs, bus stops, and maps.
13) I'd take bus over MRT over taxi. Nuff' said.
14) It is annoying if I ever hear someone tell me why I ain't having rice with a meal, especially if that meal is from a fast food restaurant.
15) The #1 thing I'd look forward to in any Romance shows or movies is obviously the kiss scenes.
16) If there is a girl I harbor a crush on, I'd stare at her for a few seconds before I turn away or she turns to towards me.
17) I had some really embarrassing moments when I was in primary school, but I dare not tell to anyone in detail.
18) I experience sleep paralysis sometimes, whenever I am extremely tired.
19) If there is one unforgettably surprising moment I want to experience in the future, it'd be the first time a girl I have fallen for says she loves me. *Extremely blushing*

Just when you all thought I'd be ending this blog here. Well... You're wrong, for I still want to share with you a recount on what happened in school on 16th January 2014, because it suits well to the title of this blog, which is also intended to be a pun to 2014. Hehehe! Anyway, let's begin, shall we?

---

When the clock had hit 5:30pm, my last school lesson of the day had finally ended. I immediately lifted off from my chair to obtain my phone which was charged at the other end of the room. Upon returning, I noticed that she (AKA The shortest girl in my class whom I... Erm... *Blush again, God dangit*) was already gone. I wished she could've waved goodbye at me but oh well. Perhaps she was in a rush to meet someone.

Then, as I was blindly packing my stuff into my blue sling bag, a guy friend of mine noticed something greenish on the table I and her shared. It was her phone, which was placed in a lime green holder. I was shocked as in why had I not noticed it immediately when I returned. Anyway, I decided to confirm myself whether it belonged to her. And yes it was, as her EZ-Link card was found tucked under the cover. Looking at its photo, she kinda looked like a young but cu... *Blush again. Seriously...!?* Never mind, better get back to the main story.

Knowing that she just left the room a minute or two ago, I quickly gushed out to see if she still was still in the lobby outside the room facilities. Avast, she was nowhere to be seen. With that, I immediately returned back to the room to tell my friend that she was not there anymore. But it looks like all of the responsibility of returning her phone shifted to me, as he also needed to leave school to meet his other friends. Fortunately, another guy friend decided to give me company for some time while we find ways of locating her.

I had decided that we should wait at the lobby until 6pm, because there is always a natural instinct whereby if you realized that you left something behind, you'd retrace your steps back to where you were moments ago. She has her EZ-Link tucked inside her phone cover. Without it, she could not get back home via bus or MRT (Unless she has coins to spare from her wallet.). But I'm sure the phone is more of her concern, which is why there is a likelihood she'd return here.

Man... Whilst I was waiting at the lobby with my friend, I daydreamed of the possible scenes that may occur when I return the phone to her. I swear to you, they heavily relate to Shoujo Manga, because I'm obsessed with its romance. I'll give you one example, and this may get cheesy;

She came up the lobby, all teared up, indicating that she was desperately searching her phone all over the school. Just when she was about to lose all hope, she saw the back of a person (Which was me.), who was watching the sun set over the flats across the school. She felt the familiarity that she knew this person and the moment she saw him gripping onto her phone safely like he was protecting it, she quickly rushed towards him and hugged him from behind. He was caught off guard, but he knew it was the owner of the phone, and also as a bonus, it was the girl he was head over heels on.

"You found it..." Said the girl whose voice was trembling significantly.

"Of course I do. I'll never let anyone harm whatever belonged to you." Said the boy after he turned around to see her cute face, whilst giving out a gentle smile to assure her that everything is okay.

"Thank you..." Said the girl, as they hugged tightly. This day didn't turn out to be one ordinary day for him, but rather, to him, this day turned out to be the best he had in years, for he finally felt the warm comfort made from a girl.

Alright, back to reality now. Knowing that her phone is within my grasp, I also had the thought of possibly looking thoroughly through her phone to see any signs of me being someone significant to her life. I know... This is really shameful of me to just intrude her personal life in that sense. But don't worry, for I have not looked through the contents stored in her phone, since my friend is around. Better not let him get suspicious of my doings. Besides, its better to keep that possibility of me being significant to her a mystery, because in the end, I want to get surprised for real.

When the clock had reached 5:55pm, another guy friend of mine from another class walked out of the lift. As he was also friends with her, I immediately bombarded him with the question on her whereabouts. His response was surprising, as he revealed that she was talking to a teacher at the floor directly above us. Heh, it was really lucky of us for him to show up on this floor. But what actually surprised me the most was that while he was responding, he gave me 'The Eye', which basically means he knew that I... Li... *Blush again. Damnit, why is it hard to say those 3 words right now...?* Oh my God, don't tell me he knew this was within me since weeks ago.

After thanking him for that information, my friend and I took the staircase a floor up to enter the room facilities there. Upon entering, I saw her on the left busily talking and listening to a teacher alongside with 2 of our other girl classmates. When my head popped out within her sight, she had given me that gentle sweet smile that could melt my heart easily. I then raised my hand higher to reveal the phone she had left behind. Of course, she'd be shocked that it was not with her all along. Anyway, I entered the room she was in to return back her phone, with a follow-up reply of 'Thanks!' given. Looks like I had owed back for that chocolate bar she had given to me and my classmates several weeks ago.

Eventually, I waited until her discussions with her teacher ended, and we went down the elevator together with my guy friend and the other 2 girl classmates. We all then went our separate ways, but it really sucks when I had to wave, and say "Bye!" to her, because I won't get to see her until the next day. Turns out that the Shoujo Manga fantasy I daydreamed of didn't really mimic what had really happened minutes ago, but hey, at least her phone had finally been returned, and I'm already happy for that.

Whilst travelling back home via a double-decker bus after having dinner in school. I sent her a message to not leave her phone behind the next time. Of course I expected her to reply minutes later since she does not check her phone that often... But wow! It had been exceeded when she actually replied within less than a minute. I was really Oxytocin-high smiling on the inside that I feel like cuddling with her right now... I mean... Erm... *Extremely blushing. No no no, me and my lovey-dovey romantic thoughts again...!* Anyway, I would end this recount with her reply on my message;

"Haha:) yes sir!:) haha:) see you:)"

Yeah, I know she uses a lot of emoticons in her messages, but you'd see none of it if she were to post something serious though. She is indeed straight-forward. And the first time she initiated a talk with me the first time we met in this new class, I won't forget it. :)

Alright, I'm gonna go back to working on some school projects that need to be completed ASAP, as well as to ready up for the upcoming Semestral Exams this mid to late February. With that, I wish you all the best to making the Year 2014 a memorable one! Be outgoing, be positive, but most importantly, be safe. ^^ Since we have now entered into a new year, I'm gonna add a quote which relates to it. Till then, see you starside.

"2014: Need Over Want. Dream Over Think. Love Over Like."
