i just dont know where to start, i have so many things to say about him, things that make me love him even more.

he values me more than any one else do and treats me very well, what more can i ask for.
he is very consistent from day one when he started courting me to this very moment he shows the same care, thoughtfulness, sweetness and it even gets better each time
it is only him whom i can trust with all my heart, he's just a kind person willing to give his all for me

there maybe no such thing as perfect relationship or perfect guy, but i know that we are perfect for each other.

we never know what the future holds, but as long as we stay the same, then the future is us together for the rest of our lives.

  

i just hanged up with Lucienne a foreign friend whom i met in Boracay early this year, its so great to hear her voice, its so sweet of her to have call me to check on how am i doing. i really appreciate it. she emailed me and i told her on my reply that im not doing that good lately, a little later my phone rang.

last january, i went to boracay (alone) and stayed at pearl of the pacific, where my brother works, meaning free food and accommodation for 10 days that ive been there.

you may think that i was lucky to have that kind of opportunity, well yes, and im really thankful, but i didnt really enjoy that much, because im all alone....it could have been better if it was a family vacation, or with my boyfriend or even with barkada.

so to make the most out of it, i just took the opportunity to relax and unwind but the best part of it is that i was able to meet new friends.

i was in the lobby, surfing the net, when this lady came and asked for directions, she was also alone, taking a break from her work in manila, she decides to spend her weekend in boracay, so to say , i offered myself to accompany her and show her around.

we became friends from that moment on, she left boracay first, but as soon as i arrived manila, we met again, she invited me for dinner in an italian restaurant in makati with her colleagues, it was two days after, her work is done here in the philippines and about to go to another country (she and her colleagues represent their company to audit their offices worldwide), we've been emailing each other since then, only God knows when are we going to meet again, until then we'll keep in touch.

i made friends also with jocelyn who also works in pearl of the pacific, she just made my stay even better, i enjoyed her company a lot.......ofcourse tita mina and roger too, though we havent kept on touch lately....





 

people ask me this question so many times already, at the age of 30, why not???

my boyfreind and i have been together for almost 9 years now, of course we have plans of settling down, regardless of our age, we think there is a lot more to consider before we tie the knot.

love has always been there from the very start and trust makes our relationship so strong, i can say that we are now on a stage where in we already have the assurance of each other

as much as we want to start a new life together under one roof, our experinces from our own families and of what we saw from our friends, relatives and others, who married early and unprepared....we just dont want to suffer the same consequences.

we want to build an ideal family, it may not be perfect, but at least we are ready....

when life gets harder it makes me appreciate more of my blessings. if im so down, i try my best to look at the brighter side of things, to think of what i have that others dont......

my family may not be together physically at all times, but at least we're complete, everyone is in good health

i'm into a long distance relationship, its hard, but at least we're going strong.

i hate it that fuel is geting more expensive, i should be thankful of my problem because at least i have a car.

i dont have so many friends to count on but at least the few one's are real

i dont have much money, but i can afford what i need and i dont owe anyone, im debt free...

i dont live in a mansion, we're just renting but at least we dont live on streets, and i sleep comfortably at night.

sometimes i get confused of what to eat, others dont even have choices to choose from

we dont have a helper to do the chores but im proud to say i know how to do it myself

i dont have my own kids yet but my nieces and nephews gives so much joy.

in times that i was jobless, i was able to travel a lot


here are just a few of my blessings, and i know there is more to come.....
 

i now see life differently, considering my experiences lately, it has brought me closer to God. there are things that we dont understand that very moment it happened, but eventually you will. God will never take you where his grace will not protect you, so true, all you need is to trust in him and everything will fall into place.

i may not be an ideal catholic person, i don't go to church regularly, i don't pray that often, but i have  my own way of relating to God, i speak to  him once in a while, like an imaginary friend, i guess that is how i pray to him, he has a different way of response though.... through situations.

for me, it's better to practice good deeds rather than being active in church and yet fail on executing them, better to have them both though, but the latter its worse. how can you study the word of God and be a burden to other people? it's just not right.

don't be a burden to others, instead....be a blessing ;)
