| Say, "what?!" He called me twice at 12:48am. I usually answer the phone but I missed the two because I just had to leave the stupid radio on. Whoop-te-doo. Hah! Anyway... He called me again 10:51 am. I missed the call. It was in my purse. Covered and smothered with all the crap in my purse. THEN! He called the land line to my Mom's shop. Lucky thing I answered the phone. Wouldn't want to waste time having someone say, "HAPPYYYYY!!! PHONEEEE!!!" Conversation went something like this...
Him, "Why aren't you answering your phone?!"
Me, "Sorry, it was in my purse."
Him, "I was so worried!"
A friend of his over at Basic training was bawling out. Why? His girlfriend left him. I'm sure you have probably heard stories of girlfriends, fiances, and wives leaving their significant other while they're away at basic or deployed. I guess when I didn't answer the phone THREE times some things were probably running through his mind. & they weren't pleasant. He raised his voice at me. (He didn't yell.) I told him not to talk to me like that. So he cooled down. The things they're saying out there, all those messed up things.. I guess it's getting to him, bad. I told him, trust me! I would never cheat on him. NEVER!
I hope that I get to be at his graduation. He told me not to look at his drill sergeants. Because he also told him that some of the sergeants hook up with the girlfriends, fiances, or wives while they're out there for the graduation. I love Charles soooooooooo much. So now he has calmed down. He's not worried anymore. Now we mess around about it. He told me they call the guys the girls cheat on with "Joey." G.I Joe.. the other guy = Joey..? Get it? If not, never mind.
I'm still writing everyday. Well, I need to finish writing today's letter. Gotta send it tomorrow. I got a letter today! With a poem! Shall I post it? We'll see. =]

| 3:30am I received a phone call. When a number isn't registered into my phone I always look if the first two numbers are "17." I would immediately get all giddy when I see that because there's a 99% chance that it would be my significant other, Charles, calling from Georgia (since Guam's own is 16). Although it wasn't him. Bummer. BUT! The guy who called said that Charles would call me tomorrow & said that he loves me very much. I was so happy. I'm so excited to finally talk to him again.
In all his letters he always mentions how much he wants to be back home but then he starts thinking about why he's out there. He's doing it for US. Not just him. Not just me. But for US. & at some point he was so worried that I would cheat on him. Oh no. No, no, no. I would never. I write letters to him. Every single day. Yes, everyday. & I tell him what's going on and what the latest gossip is. (I'm Filipino. I'm not saying all of them, or us, are gossipers but there are some who gossip about EVERYTHING.) I always make sure that his dog, Rice is doing well. & that I'm taking my meds on time.
He has been constantly asking for me to send pictures. I did. Sent some with funny faces. He thinks I'm weird. Really weird. He told me once, in a jokingly manner, "Man, I don't know why I'm with you.. you're so fckin weird.." Here's a little conversation that he, my Mom, & I had.
I don't remember what I did, but I can assure you... It was hella weird.
He looks at me with a "WTF?!?!" kind of face.
My Mom starts laughing hard after she saw the look on both our faces.
Me, "Oh, man! That was funny! I crack myself up! Whew!"
Him, "What the hell?! Oh my gosh...*smiles, shakes his head then looks away*"
My Mom, "Ohh.. You haven't seen Happy get all weird."
Him, "Nope..."
Me, "HAHAHAHA, oh boy Sweets! You're missing out!"
Him, "I guess.."
Me & my Mom, "Sad! You're such a loser!"
Okay, so that conversation barely made any sense! It probably isn't funny one bit to you, but man! That was another great laugh I had with my Mom.
I have clothes to wash, fold, and put away. I also have paper works to organize. I hope I finish this before he comes back! And I need to finish reading my books so I can tell him about them. | | |
| Mom. Daddy misses you. I miss you too Mom. Just yesterday, I found out that you passed away while you were in a coma. I didn't know you were in a coma. I always thought you just went to sleep then passed away. It's over 50 days already. It's Kuya's birthday today. I'm sure he's thinking about you right now. He's in Korea right now. Mom, Ryan is getting big now. Ate wants to give him a mop suit so she can just let him crawl around the shop. Haha. & I'm sorry. For not visiting you. It's been a long time since I visited you. I'm doing okay by the way. Charles wants to get married. See, =] he's taking care of me. He wants to pay off my tuition from GCC so I can continue taking class. I'm going to be a licensed cosmetologist just like you, Mommy. I know you'll be by my side watching me. Just give me a little nudge if I'm doing something wrong. =] Haha. I want to hug you right now. I just miss you so much. But I know I should keep my head up. Because hey, I'm Happy. You always wanted me to be happy. I won't let you down. I promise. & I'm taking my medication on time. My room is clean well, you can see 98% of the floor. I was doing some paper work. I love you, Mom.
She's such a wonderful person. | | |
| Pendleton... Charles Douglas Pendleton =]
He's at basic training right now, over at Georgia. Guam Army National Guard, Infantry. His graduation is this April. I really want to be there! I'm going to try and save up. I have been writing letters everyday! & I understand that he may not be able to write letters about his day, everyday like me. It's okay, because I know how hard he is working out there.
As for when he comes back... =] I just can't wait. Hah. I will be here waiting for him. It's been a year already. Love does amazing things! How I wish my Mom was here to see this happen. Then again, she will be able to see it happen because she's watching us from above. =] I love you, Mom.
Before, I never gave him the time of day. I barely acknowledged him. I cared less of whatever "cool" thing he did. He tried and tried. He's seen me at my worst which made it the best. I was his damsel in distress. Well, still am. Now, I want him with me everyday (even if he stays with me). I shower him with, I love you's. I still admire him even if he says the dumbest things. He tried and tried & he eventually won my heart. =]
I, Ama Collen S. Tingson, love you, Charles Douglas Pendleton. <3 | | |
| Oh Charles. Charles, Charles, Charles. I love you.
This Friday. Is the day. January 15, 2010. One year & counting.
SO! He's at basic training. I'm here on Guam. I'm just waiting for his call. I've been writing letters for him day by day and he has letters for me too. He said he sent some but I have a feeling that they're lost in the mail. Sucks huh? But it's okay. He only has until this Friday then no more phone calls. Oh poo. That sucks even more. A week has passed. & wow. time does really fly by. I hope it won't fly by too fast when he comes here to visit. He said that he misses me and wants to come here for his small vacation. Sweet huh? I think so. (This is so gay.) Well, just surfing the net and waiting for his call. This feeling is so wonderful.
Charles, I love you. | | |
