Being a girl, there comes a time in our lives – I mean every month, that we go through this one stage of womanhood, that is, having our “periods” (for the regulars, of course, it’s once a month). A lot of men didn’t know what we are going through when we are having these “days”. So lucky are the girls who have guys who completely understand and feel for us while we have no choice but to go through it. Take for example Ryan.
One time, I was having my period, and I was so hot-tempered and couldn’t set straight what I really want to eat. I am at home the whole day because I am suffering from a bad case of dysmenorrhea. Even though I have been complaining all day, Ryan was just patient. I told him I wanted to eat something but I could not figure out what it was. He really wanted to cheer me up. To my surprise, Ryan did buy all my favorite foods, or the usual foods that we buy whenever we are in Angono and hauled all that stuff to our dining table – Pao-Tsin shark’s fin with hainanese rice and buko pandan drinks, Zagu’s cookies and cream, Dunkin Donut’s munchkins and strawberry filled and boston kreme donuts and BCT bunwich, Ruffles, Hello Panda (yellow one), Oishi potato chips (yellow one), Lapid’s chicharon, Red Ribbon’s cinnamon roll, Jollibee’s hot fudge sundae and French fries with mayo, 1.5 L ice-cold Coca-cola. He told me that since I cannot decide what I have been really craving for, he might as well bring the foods that I might have wanted but cannot think of. Instantly, my mouth salivated, but I am not in capacity to eat all of those, of course I did share. :) I might have succumbed to gluttony on that day, but the hell I care. It’s not that often that a guy shows up in front of your house and does this kind of thing. I’m the kind of girl who loves to eat, it’s just a good thing that I have a fast metabolism. :) So who says you can’t feel good when you’re having your periods? Eat me.
Kidding aside, Ryan does bring me food from time to time. Sometimes he would just appear in my place at idle hours just to bring me something – be it McDonald’s one-piece chicken (that was the latest, when he showed up during lunch time while I was still working and I almost had a heart attack when he suddenly peeped into my room) or cheeseburger meal(which he left in my room while I was away along with a glass from McDo and a note on top) or Float, a slice of pizza, a box of Oreo and Twix (which was given to me a decade ago and I still have the boxes), a dozen donuts, or my favorite, Starbucks caramel frappe, a slice of blueberry cheesecake, cinnamon swirl and/or Belgian waffle with caramel topping, that guy really does know that a good way to Bubbles’ heart is through her stomach.
So every time I am having those days, I know I don’t have to sulk that much, because Ryan is always there with his endless tricks to boost me up.
