ang rosas ni cc

i received this rose this afternoon. it came from a colleague, a female colleague. it came with a card "dear cc, peace!" it's not a valentine gift but a peace offering. i got really pissed with her yesterday. and she knew it. and she's making amends.

i used to work in a previous office, in a group composed of 4 ladies and 2 PLU's (that's a friend and me), all under a female boss. We were very close to one another. one valentine's day, we were all in our foxhole, when a messenger arrived carrying a huge bouquet of roses. all of us immediately got up and everybody was swooning. even the other girls from the other foxholes were looking! we were all wondering who the lucky lady was on valentine's.

messenger slowly read the name on the card... "sino po si cc?" shrieks from the ladies all over as i turned beet red. they all pointed to me with dagger looks. messenger scratched his head as he was putting the bouquet on my table. i was still dumbfounded as i read the card. well, it was from my partner that time.

four ladies in that foxhole and i was the only one who got the roses! HAHAHAHA. they hated me for a week.

i still enjoy receiving flowers, no matter how feminine or corny. i still believe it's special when someone gives you flowers. i used to give flowers to my ex on different occasions. i loved giving him tulips because he adores them.

well, the peace offering is still a flower. and its valentine's day the day after next. so i'm enjoying this long-stemmed bud. and maybe wishing it came from someone really special. hehehe
