My Angel is currently taking up Master in Business Administration (MBA) at Bulacan State University (BSU). He has this assignment in Business Ethics to ask someone to describe them. And I would like to take this opportunity to boast to everyone how lucky I am having him in my life.My Angel, Paulo A. Marquez, REE, is someone whom you will get along with easily. I can still remember the first time he send me home. We had talked about almost everything under the sun. I hardly noticed how time passed us by then. Not to mention that you'll get attracted to his smiling face (showing his dimples).
Like me, he is just a simple person who is God-fearing. He religiously attends Sunday service. God is really his priority. He offers his talent to God. Unlike others who seemed to be too shy to sing during Sunday service, he willingly participates in it. And if most are shy to show that they are praying before meals, he isn't. We would hold hands and say graces before meals even in public fast foods or restaurants. Whenever problems come his way, or whenever he has something to deal with, he always started them with a prayer, and ends it with a prayer as well.
When it comes to his family, well, even with my family, he is very generous. May it be material things or service, he has both hands to offer. It is still fresh from my heart how he surprised my mother last
valentine's day. He exerted an effort bringing my mother a cake when in fact it was his mother's birthday. And I am really glad that he introduced me to his family. And, I am proud to say that even though we're not married yet, his family treated me as one already. I'm glad that we are both raised with a close family tie.
In everything he does, he give it his best shot. I was all prayers way back when he was about to took his board exam. And since he studiously reviewed, with God's guidance, he ended top 9 in the Registered Electrical Engineers Board Exam 2003. Well, he's intelligent and smart. We're both quizzers. And that bring us together. As for work, I believe he had been a very reliable employee. He is willing to provide what is asked from him and is expected from him. He's not choosy when it comes to work. He just wants what is just. He is more of a righteous person that a popular one.
He values friendship. I should know, because we're best friends. As much as he can, he would please you. That's another similarity between us. We find it hard to say 'NO'. He never mingled with someone else' business. Well, I guess he just never wanted to carry extra burden he isn't supposed to carry. But, he loves the Philippines. He, rather we, just hated how the government manages our country.
He is very
"masinop". I can't think of the english term for it, sorry. He used to, not scold, but tell me on how I should be careful of my belongings. He becomes upset when he knew that I failed to take care of my, our, belongings. He's like my mother. He would really take good care of his possessions. His 2 year old gadget would really look like brand new.
He is gadget-holic, ha ha. He really loves investing on gadgets. Uhm, he has 4 cellphones. It could have been 5 if I haven't lost one of 'em. He is thrift though when it comes to wardrobes. He is a person who would only buy shirts or pants when they're on sale. Uhm, I can't really say that he's thrift when it comes to shoes. I believe if only he can still play basketball, he would have lots of basketball shoes now. Nevertheless, although he would spend his savings on those gadgets, I never stop him from doing so. Since, he is
"masinop", I know those gadgets would last long.
He knows
Filipino Time, he he. During our college years, he would always come late. May it be on his subject or on our date. Sometimes, I have to wait an hour before he arrives. Yes, patience is a virtue, ha ha. I remember, during his thesis defense, it was their panel who have to wait for them, just because he's late.
He has no vices. Only PBA (Purefoods) and computer games.
Although he never fears death, just because he offers his life to God, he always thinks about his, our, future.
Most of all, he is a loving, caring, patient, and thoughtful boyfriend. I know I couldn't state all of his good qualities here. I'm just glad I found my soulmate in him. I remember when I was in my 5th year college. I got chicken pox then. And it was him who took good care of me. Also, during my
hate day of the month, he just patiently wait on our living room until I wake up. He would always have something for me whenever he would be out of town or the country when he's back. And he really makes me feel important because I am always the first person that comes to his mind in everything that he does and will be doing.
He's not perfect. He has his flaws. But his good qualities outnumbered them. Making me forget all of his flaws.
Mahal, I honestly love you. And all I wanna do, is grow old with you.
