Ruy asked me what time my breaks are today. I told him 730…at 7:20 he texts me this “I’m here in Eastwood, my mom’s asking me to pay for her Citibank card again…can you come here and see me?”

My thought bubble at this point was “LIAR!”. This was the same excuse he gave me last week as to why he was in Eastwood. Nevertheless I’m happy, I told my boss to block off my dinner break so I can go down without worrying about my clients.

I went down to meet him and he gave me 2 books, one for Helena, and one for myself. Inside the book for myself was …MADONNA’s ALBUM!!

I was literally screaming all over Eastwood…eventually I just said “Okay I’ll keep quiet now” I’m sooooo happy!!!

Patric told me ” remember this moment the next time you think ruy is a bad boyfriend, he brought you the greatest gift of alll…Madonna!”

I’m so happy…I’m so happy…I’m so happy!!

I was going over the photos from my cellphone when I saw a picture of a bouquet of flowers from Ruy. I was feeling warm and fuzzy all over when I saw the date. December 5, 2004…hmmm…it has been 11 months since the last time Ruy has given me flowers?!!?! THis is an outrage considering the fact that I ADORE FLOWERS.

I was still thinking about this piece of info when my lola called me to lunch. During lunch she mentioned the lechon kawali Ruy gave me a couple of months ago. You see Ruy gave me five dishes for me to have baon to work each and every single day of the week!

I felt so bad about feeling bad…huh? Okay let me rephrase that, I felt so bad about doubting Ruy’s sweetness and care for me. Ruy is truly atypical when it comes to displays of affection. He’s never been a flowers and chocolate kind of guy. But he’s always been able to show me how much he loves me…in different ways….MUSHY!!! Enough na

My goddess and soulmate is back. I’m overwhelmed with happiness. I must say that the wait for this album has been filled with such a hodgepodge of emotions. I was obviously excited. It has been 2 years since the American Life album. The moment we heard that album we knew it wasn’t going to top the charts. Patric and I had to work hard just to love the album…this is saying a lot considering we are both diehard Maddie fanatics. This brings me to my second emotion…FEAR.

I was literally terrified for Madonna (or Esther as she is now called). She NEEDS this album to be a success. American Life was a huge flop, at least for her standards and she needs to rise from the ashes…to emancipate herself as Mimi did (yay Mariah!!..I digress). When her broken rib cage and her issue with the Jewish ministers didn’t even make the front page you know her popularity is not what it’s used to be.
