just when i was really starting to miss him... i actually already asked one of his officemates why he hasn't been reporting to work. and that very same day, i learned that he was coming back from a short vacation in Macau with his family. it was almost five days that i haven't seem him and we didn't have any communication so i was getting worried. i thought he already went to Australia where he applied for work.
it was a small gift. only a key chain. but i felt like kissing it. 
its just a token of his friendship but its really special for me. but i just can't help but think that he only gave me a gift because i've given him a gift before. one of my friends said i'm too paranoid to think that way. i say, i just don't want to give any special meaning to it and give myself false hopes. ^__^;;
well whatever. whatever i think about it, i just feel happy that he gave me something to remember him by.

awww. don't feed my imaginations kun! a pillow with a "i love secretbear" words would definitely not cross his mind! not ever. its already hard to keep liking him. i don't wanna make it harder by expecting something from him. ^__~

of course i'm very happy kun! its a way of telling me that he remembered me. but that's just only that. there's no other special meaning to it. its not a spongebob key chain by the way. you didn't look at the picture! its a Macau key chain. the picture shows only one side of it. the other side has an "i love Macau" print. it should have been "i love Secretbear".

Oops, sorry about that mistake.. hehe =D Y din he buy u a sqaure pants key chain instead.. lol ^_^ BUt anyway, since he bought u something, it's better than not buying u anything at all.. haha.. Maybe he is regretting now, y he treated u in that way in the past, and u might even be the 1st gal to snub him.. lol =D
'I love secret bear" keychain?? haha.. maybe u can tell him that, and who knows he might have a better surprise for u, by printing it on a pillow for u to sleep on ^_^ hehe

Did he give your other office mates souvenir items too... or just you?... if you are the only one he gave a gift too... then there must be a special meaning to that... since we all know that office mates who went to a certain place would always give souvenir to all those working in the office or to their very close friends...

hi aseretdd! well, i'm not sure if he gave any of HIS officemates some souvenirs, but i'm sure he didn't give any to MY officemates which are also his friends. well, even if that's the case, i won't give any special meaning to it. i don't wanna get my hopes up.

I thought you got over that guy already. Before you float off into the stratosphere, you might want to check out who else he gave key chains to. Awwwwww, don't hate me for saying that secretbear, but really, if you really want to get this guy, although I cannot imagine why you would, you want to avoid seeming "needy" for his attention. Guys hate that. Well, the good ones do, anyway.

don't worry drannhh. i won't hate you for saying the reality. i tell that to myself too! ^__^;; i haven't gotten over him yet although i have made up my mind to stop liking him. i gave him a gift and i'm touched that he also gave me a gift but i don't really hope that that would change things. and i restrain myself, really restraining myself to appear needy for his attention. in fact at time, i tend to ignore him. ^__^;;

That was really nice of him to think of bringing you something back from his trip. I just hope he doesn't get your hopes up. The right guy for you will come along when you aren't expecting it.

i'm preventing myself to get my hopes up. i know its not wise to behave like that. i just wish the right guy would come along my way already.

Hi secretbear!
I'm observing every progress of your love story, or should I say love affair, and monitoring every topic that's related to it. Giving you a gift even how simple it is would only means that he remembers you in his tripped and that you belong to the inner and close circle of friends. Who knows maybe someday he will just approached you and say something that you long and wanted to hear. But right now, just enjoy the gift and keep it close to your heart.
Have a nice and day-dreaming day!

it was really sweet of him to give me a gift. even if he bought a lot of it, at least he chose me as one of the recipients.

Thats a very nice gift given to you by your friend. Does he know you like him. I hope you wont have false hopes or take it something to be special to him. Just take it easy ok. Its natural to miss someone you like.

hi zelmarq. yes, he knows i like him. even before. but this, him giving a gift to me, i don't give it any special meaning. because i have accepted before that he can't feel the same way i feel about him.

wow, i can relate to your feeling my friend. I also have this kinda affection to one person and also he knows but I know it wont make any difference for he does not feel the same. Thers also a guy who feels the same to me, but I dont feel anything towards him, so I realize its like a vicous cycle. Me liking anothera nd a man liking me.

Probably a good idea to not read too much into the gift. He may just have given you one because you gave him one like you said. Take care

Omedetou!!
That's a sweet gift
I have no one I like now but if in the future, someone I like gives me a gift, I will be thrilled too. You have the right to be happy. But yes, try not to give any special meaning to it. Just think of it as a gift from a friend.

it must be an amazing feeling...glad one could add to your happiness so much.all the ebst touchw ood..
but see dont think much..if u really like the guy try getting to know whether even he has feelings for you...thru any of your common friends.
or else if you not keen on than i agree to what you thought that its better not to expect much and make a castle in your heart for him
but dont just give up without telling him about your feelings for him..its not always that liking turns to love..maybe you could also prove to be good and close friendss. and i think that more than love friendships last longest...all the best honey..take care..

he already knows i like him. i told him that before. ^__~ and i knew then that he doesn't like me back. i know that and i even accepted already that there's no hope for a "me and him". still, i continue to like him but i'm not hoping for anything.

Clearly this man has made a big impression on you. When he has moved to Australia, there will be someone else who you will stumble upon, and then it will be look out world! lol.
I think he values you as a friend as well as a colleague, so you must be a pretty special person.

Wow, congratulations. =)
Just out of curiosity but was this the same guy you gave a birthday present to..? *lol* Well, since he gave you a gift in return, that must mean that he appreciated your gesture. And yes, you have every right to feel giddy and happy over it. =)

hi nekonyata! of course! he is the same guy that i gave a birthday present to. ^__~ he really should appreciate it. the shirt i bought was a little small for him and i took time to go back to the mall and asked for a larger size.

Well, it's alright to be ecstatic about the gift he gave you, although it's only a key chain and although you have a feeling that he only gave you a gift because you also gave him one before, but you shouldn't be too expectant about things.

hi fordham. yeah, i'm not being expectant. i know the dangers of it already.
