That Ruby Sparks Moment..

Have you ever seen the movie, Ruby Sparks? Have you ever wondered dreaming up your ideal person into life? Well, we did.. 

You're probably wondering who I'm with today, well, tadaaah!!! I'm with.. *drums roll please* 'Mrs. Johnny Depp'!!! Yey! Hooray for our very first collaboration..

Anyways here's our Ruby Sparks moment. 

It was late in the evening, when out of the blue, Mrs. Johnny Depp asked for a favor. She asked me if I could describe to her my ideal guy, and I told her if she could give me time to write about it which she agreed. A week after, which was last February 19, I sent her this..

That kind of guy…

who is mature enough to talk to you seriously when it needs to

who would never be ashamed to make silly faces with you in a photo booth or after eating in a café while letting the time pass just because you both feel like it or because you both got nothing to say anymore then you’ll both laugh hard until your tummy hurts

who would make you cry joyful tears and give you tearful joys

who does his best to be the best of himself night and day

who takes risks and pursues his dreams even if it entails that you two would be in a long distance relationship for such a certain time

who would do his best to make things work out with the two you despite having that long distance relationship and your usual dates would be now via internet or long phone conversations

that despite the long distance relationship, would come home just because he terribly misses you or would surprise you with a plane ticket just so you could be together

who would never get tired to make you fall in love in him because you both learned that growing in love is so much better than falling in love

who would turned out to be your best friend – a shoulder to cry on, gives you a comforting hug and a kiss on a forehead after a long day at work

who loves music and may not have that voice to match it with but may or may not play a musical instrument but is ready to hold a boombox/speakers outside your house and play the mixtape he made especially for you

who would write you handwritten notes or letters to remind you how beautiful the day is just because he has you in his life

who would cook you your favorite meals

who would be your best bud to see and experience the world (hello Maldives!)

who shares your love of books and sweets (even if he hates seeing you getting swooned by Mr. Darcy or that fictional guy with whom he has to compete)

who would love to watch movies with you (even if he has to endure you getting infatuated again by that main guy in the story or you having to scream every time a zombie is to eat some brains out of someone)

who doesn’t go to the gym to have those stoned muscles but because he just wants to be healthy for him to be able to spend the rest of his life with you (he wants to have abs but doesn’t get obsessed with it)

who gives you tight bear-hug after you cry over something

who would listen to your rants and proclaims himself to be your biggest fan everytime you post something on your blog

who loves the arts and is in fact gifted on that side – is handwritten letters are so poetic that every word tends to make your knees weak and melt your heart at an instant, he draws and designs what your future home be like, who invites you to try out painting (or any kind of art) despite you just being contented with your stick-shift figures (and laughs at your drawing from time to time and you’ll really be annoyed)

who would never fail to sweep you off your feet

who brings you to his home to meet his family especially to the first woman in his life (and would probably do his best that you and his mom would really get along well)

who would ride bikes with you in the park and have picnic afterwards

who would give you your first kiss after that fireworks in Disneyland because he read it in your bucket list notebook and because he loves you so much and wants to make you feel special

who would lie with you in the beach underneath a  blanket of stars and make a wish upon that shooting star

who loves dogs just as you do and will give you that goldenpoo you’ve always wanted and together you’ll raise it

who will suit up and be courageous enough to face your brother and cousins even if it it’ll be in a boxing challenge because he wants to show you that he can protect just like these special men in your life would do (okay so maybe, he’s thin and has eyeglasses, but he loves you so much that he wants to prove to them that he deserves you and he’ll take care of you)

who would have fights with you for those serious reasons and even for some really petty reasons then there’ll be silence and afterwards you’ll both laugh like nothing happened

who would get jealous from time to time but mostly because you easily fall in love with those men you read in books and men that you watch in films

who is dorkier and funnier than you (who maybe too shy to talk to you at first and approaches you awkwardly on that first day you met)

and best of all, the one who brings out the best in you


And a day after, here's what she wrote..

my ideal guy...

first and foremost, he must like books (or at least respect my love of books) and must love music (may even know how to play an instrument =P). it's a definite. no bargaining with that. but i'll give him a chance to pick which kind (just please lord, spare him from the school textbooks and rap music @_@). 

he has a huge respect for women. and i could prove that what he does is not just an act for me, by seeing him in his own natural habitat. that is, with his female family and friends. he's the type of guy who lets you pick your own fights (because he respects your own abilities and decisions), but steps in whenever it gets a little too much for you (just like a knight in shining armor).

surprises. i'm a sucker for surprises and sometimes, cheesy stuff. petty little things make me happy. leaving little notes and sweet messages for me whenever he feels like it (i prefer that he does not do this constantly because i like surprises!=P). or even just telling me that when he saw something,it suddenly reminded him of me, would make me happy (and a lil' bit weak-kneed). why? beacuse it shows that he actually thinks of me even if we're not togther. *^_^* 

he should have the perfect balance of seriousness and humor. not actually perfect, but at least he could act both sides. I want a humorous guy, but not to the point that when i need someone to talk to in a serious note, he'll just make fun of me. or whenever i'm sad, instead of making me smile, he'll just make me discuss my emotions with him and he'll comment on it as if he's my shrink. 

he's understanding and knows how to pick up my mood. he understands that sometimes, i need a time for myself and it doesn't mean that I'm neglecting him. The kind of man that i hate the most is the one who needs a woman to constantly feed his ego. I want him to be comfortable and secure with himself, with or without me.

he's a good listener, open-minded and he'll find something to argue with me day in, day out. i want us to have our own opinions over the things that surround us. i wouldn't want him to pretend that we have the same tastes and thoughts on everything. i want us to share with each other our own thoughts, because that's how we grow. but take note that it does not necessarily mean we end up fighting, big time. i just want us to have a little banter here and there just to keep everything a little bit exciting. don't you think? ;)

i'd want him to be his own person. i wouldn't like it for him to change himself just because he wanted to prove that i deserve him, and vise versa. if we liked each other for who we were when we first met, then what's there left to prove? given, that we could turn our old selves into a better version of us, but not neccesarily change it into something that is the exact oppposite of who we were. 

music, music, music. mixtapes have always been my fascination since i was kid. especially when during those times, cassette tapes of my favorite artists are far too expensive. so me and my siblings would only have to rely on making our own mixtapes while listening on the radio, and we'll record all our favorite songs. so if this guy makes the effort of making mixtapes by requesting my  favorite old songs on the radio, he'll certainly score huge brownie points. ;)

he can stand my crazy antics. he's the type of guy who, instead of talking me out of doing it because he's thinking rationally, will instead tell me to "go on. just do it. i'm right behind you. if it doesn't end good, you can count on me to bail you out. ;)"

seeing his eyes light up whenever we see each other for the first time after being apart for quite sometime. that's something that i'd definitely cherish. ^o^

and lastly, he'll never ever, ever, make me choose between him and my family. and i won't do the same. 


the end XD



As of this moment, we are really having a good laugh over the things that we wrote, realizing that some of them came true..

Could this be a real Ruby Sparks moment? :)
