God's gift to me

Paul John Bunuan Tamayo

Dear Paul,

I'm thankful that I met you because you finally got the balls to introduce yourself to me. I'm overjoyed that you're with me and I melt from your goodness, kindness, and compassion. I'm dazzled by your talent because I think you're amazing and I'm so proud of you. 

I'm overjoyed that I found a friend in you to devour food with, laugh hard with, and just be silly with. I'm excited to learn more about you because it's been an adventure and I can hardly wait for the tomorrows we'll explore together. 

I love you. 

Love,

Joyce

With Kris, I tried so hard to please him because I loved him. But Paul, he's amazing. Everyday I like him more and more--I learn something beautiful about him that makes me appreciate this wonderful man who found ME, who pursued ME, and who really and truly cares for ME.

Just for fun

He likes the name Bella for a baby girl. He says saying the name just melts his heart. "Bella, it's time to eat." And hearing this, made MY heart melt. :)

He's so adorably cute. He is in love with nature and wants to go see everything!! And share it all with me. How can a man so brave and adventurous possibly be interested in a boring homebody/nobody like me? We seem to be so opposite—I did the conventional school-college literary/scholarly/technologically-inclined thing and my baby has just been more interested in being outside taking in the sights and boldly experiencing creation. Well anyway, I'm glad—because I am so happy! :)

He's mentioned:
hiking/exploring sequoia national forest, rivers, lakes, mountains, piers
road tripping up the PCH to SanFran
stargazing (and basically loitering) at the beach

Seeing stuff like this makes me think about what kinda junk I have up online. I think it's weird that whatever you put up online really, essentially is forever. The remnants of the love I had for Kris will forever be floating around in the binary-code of cyberspace.

Cupid — Melanie Fiona

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me

Now, I don’t mean to bother you
But I’m in distress
There’s danger of me losing all of my happiness
For I love a boy who doesn’t know I exist
And this you can fix So…

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me

Now, Cupid with your arrow make his love strong for me
I promise I wll love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
help me if you will So…

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover’s heart for me
Nobody but me
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover’s heart for me

Cupid

calling you
I need you
Cupid

Easter Sunday

I threw up. And he has coffee breath. We're even. 

So Paul and I sat in his trunk and he asked me if something was wrong. I told him "no" and that everything was fine; that it's just everyone's running around since it was Easter Sunday. Anyway, when I'm with him, I have no words. What I didn't tell him was: it really WAS awkward and weird. However, I did tell him that I need to tell my parents about him first—but as far as they know (or at least what i THINK they know), we're talking.

Paul John Tamayo:

He's sooooo cute!

He's adorably funny.

Family's important to him.

He's a musician who is amazingly talented.

He loves dogs and kids. 

He's always hungry.
He's always laughing.

He has brown hair, brown eyes, a cute nose, a righteous butt, and beautiful lips.
