Enchantment

Just one phrase to summarize my first three days working as an intern: One hell of a nightmare.

I don't even know if I should write out what we (the interns) have been subjected to for three days. You never know, my boss might just come across my blog and read it.

"Miranda Priestly" is all I'm gonna say.

Will keep you guys updated about everything soon, and may everything go smoothly as hoped for.

"God, please grant me and Rachie a transfer."

I'm just leaving everything into God's hands now. I have no control in a lot of things in my life and I'm tired always trying to grasp onto even a flimsy thread of control. So, I'm gonna let it all go and enjoy my weekend :).

I felt like crap for three whole days, with shit happening at work and boyfriend working the night shift. I'm just so thankful that Rach is there with me lightening things up and making office life sane with all her ridiculous jokes and gestures.

But most importantly, I'm the most fortunate girl in the world because I have this great, thoughtful, loving, caring, sweet, understanding and devoted guy that I can call my own.

My darling, you make my life complete. I have been feeling lonely after work when I know I won't be seeing you for the next 5 days until the weekends, plus it feels like I'm smsing to a blank piece of wall; I only get replies a few hrs later. We have stopped talking a lot lesser than before and basically I just feel miserable about the lack of your presence. Just seeing you for a couple of hours immediately brightens up my day and I feel a load being lifted off my shoulders. I just can't explain it but definitely I have grown to be so attached to you, that without you within a phone call, msg or same time zone away, I don't feel like Grace at all.

So, yesterday was my birthday and I felt like crap because 1) work is a piece of shit and 2) lots of friends wished me happy birthday but not my boyfriend. I had expected him to call me from his workplace and be the first to wish me, but that was not the case.

Neither did he wish me the next morning (my actual birthday) nor over the phone in the afternoon. Neither in the evening when I was having dinner with my friends nor at night when I was enduring the train ride home.

However when I reached home, I received a call from him at 11.45 pm asking me to check my mailbox for a parcel from him. So while still on the phone with him, I made my way out of the house to the gate outside, but there was nothing in the mailbox.

And suddenly he just appeared and hugged me from behind. Also, me being as blind as a bat did not notice that he had stuck post-it notes all over my gate, all 19 of them.

I just felt like the luckiest girl on earth when he told me that he had especially requested from his superior to leave work early to celebrate the last of my birthday with me and be the last one to wish me. I just felt so loved at that moment.

To think that I was complaining to Rach the entire day that the "stupid" Ryan didn't call or sms Happy Birthday at all. Hahaha feel so guilty now :p.

The best birthday present is just to be able to see you and hold you after a hard day at work.
