These pics are our trip to Borneo I want to talk about a big part of myself that many of you don’t know a lot about. Her name is Maggie. Haha, the reason you don’t know a lot about Maggz is because she’s a great listener and does not feel comfortable talking about herself. You’ll never hear her boast about anything because she is too humble. For my friends or family who’ve met Maggie for the first time, they would have an amazing talk with her right off the bat. Then they realize that they revealed everything about themselves and didn’t learn anything about her, but somehow, the two of them made a genuine connection. She honestly loves to listen which is a gift because too many people in this world don’t listen in a conversation, they’re just waiting for their turn to talk… I think more people would like to know about the love of my life and since you won’t hear it personally from her, I’m doing the honors!
Exactly 5 years ago from today, Maggz took a leap of faith and shouted Yes! That was the beginning of our adventurous relationship together. I told you all about the rejections that I faced before
she finally gave in to me, haha! BUT, what I didn’t tell you is the most embarrassing story of when I officially asked her out. On our very first date, I took her out to the movies and after, we had a splendid dinner. Then I took her home to end the night. We were at the front of her doorstep, and I was really nervous because I was about to ask her out. Then the worst happens… I completely freeze! Haha, you know how some guys just act stupid and nervous around hot girls? Well, that was me! I remember thinking to myself
She is so pretty, but if I look too long, I’ll look creepy I kept looking and no words came out of my mouth so I missed my chance and so she went inside her house.
D’oh! I was beating myself up the whole way back home. When I finally got home, I decided to grow some balls and ask her out through the phone.
But… I should probably write it down so I won’t freeze up again . Haha so I pretty much wrote the whole speech down and looking back at it, it was horrible. I had my speech written down and I was ready. I called her, somebody picked up then I quickly hung up.
Dammit, I’m not ready! Then my phone rang, she called back and asked, “Did you just call?” I didn’t know what to say and got really nervous so I decided to just read off my cue cards. It went something like this:
I hastily started off, “Hey Maggie, just listen first before you say anything, ok? I had a really great time tonight. I haven’t had such a great time in a while. You looked so amazing tonight. You probably have lots of guys chasing you but I want you to know that I would be the best person for you. I would like to be your man. We would have so many laughs and adventures. You don’t have to give your answer right away but…”
Maggie cuts in, “ Um…. Vic… are you like, reading off of a paper right now? Because it sounds like you wrote it down. haha”
My entire face goes red. I was caught so badly! Nothing is more embarrassing than getting caught reading off a paper, especially
from somebody you like! Hahaha
Dammit Maggz! I was so embarrassed and didn’t know what to say so I said, “ Err… maybe… but let me just finish my last line first! Would you be my girl?” Soooo not smooth, Vic hahaha. I don’t think I swept her off her feet at all so I guess that’s why she gave me a second chance and said she’ll give me a real answer in a month! On October 4th, she finally said yes! Remember, remember the 4th of October!
Stuff about Maggie:
Her favorite drink is red wine and she buys all of them at Trader Joe’s
She’s an amazing cook who can make the best lobster and also the best Portobello mushroom stuffed with crab meat.
She’s finishing up her last semester in BU right now and she’s also interning at a start-up company that does online social network advertising.
She’s traumatized by bicycles so don’t ask her to go biking with you!
She thinks her food has feeling because when she eats her food, she’ll eat everything on her plate evenly throughout the meal or else she feels like she’s unfair to the other food by favoring them! Haha
She never says no to an adventure!
Maggie, you’re perfect in every which way to me, happy 5 year anniversary! I Love You
