Erasme, going down the ramp, gazing back at Anselmo, smiling. She's holding a small piece of luggage.

Okey. 'Di pa pala tapos ang birtdey. This girl had me packing my bags at 2 in the morning dahil aalis daw kami. ASAP. Urgent. 'Di p'wede na humindi. Siyempre, nag-impake naman ako. 'Pack as much as you can', daw. Eh 'di pack as much as I can naman ako.

'Di naman niya sinabi na papuntang airport.

I remember telling her a year ago that the only cartoon movie I was able to watch was Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away. And I liked it... very very much.

That's why we're in Taiwan today. To go to Jiufen. The one so similar to the movie's setting.

Era doesn't really say I love you back. At all.

But she always remembers the small things that I say. The things that make me happy. Or the things that I want. 

And somehow, she always try her best to give them all to me. 

Her way of loving may be different from mine, but it's more than enough to keep me sane. 

I really am very lucky to be loved by this beautiful, wonderful girl.
