I love you because...

To my SOUNDING BOARD...

my CONFIDANT...

my BACKBONE...

I love you for so many reasons

BIG and SMALL

And all of them are WONDERFUL...


I can't find the perfect words to elaborate how thankful I am for having you in my life. And I don't even know if these words could ever justify how grateful I am.


I love you for always reminding me how beautiful I am. Even at my worst, you never cease to lift me up. You continuously love and admire me. You never left and you never stopped. You were and are always there through thick and thin, through all the times I break down and give up. 

I love how we can be ourselves around each other. 

I love how you genuinely appreciate the good times with me. 

I love how we enjoy each other’s company (out in the sun). 

I love how you give me the sweetest and unexpected surprises all the time. You made me realize that it isn’t about how big your gift is, it’s not about how long we’ve been together, it’s not about how expensive our dinner dates are, it’s always about the simplicity and the practicality — it’s about the love that keeps our relationship going.

I love you for always showing and making me feel the words that I should be hearing.  Your "I love you" is comprised of holding my hand when I am at my weakest, kissing my forehead when I am anxious, and always supporting me for whatever I aspire to be. 

I love how your soft and gentle smile put the sun to shame. 

   

You look so sweet while dreaming. 

I love you for all the special qualities that make you one of a kind

I love you for the two hundred seven days that we've been together. Because since day one, you have proven to me that it can always get better. And it does, and continuously gets better. 

I love our late night chitchat. I love our petty arguments about my #ootd for work and I love that our fights never last for a day or two. I love that we are never perfect. 

And even if I want to further elaborate how much I love you, I'd rather make you feel it every day. 

Another year down, lots more to go...

To someone who constantly showers me with words of affirmation...
who always wants the best for me no matter what the situation is...
who goes out of his way to make me feel special...
who puts up with my "Okay I'm almost done, I'm almost done!" and "Does this look okay? Are you sure this looks okay?"...
who shops with me for long hours and still keep his sanity...
who always cherish every single second spent with me...

You've always been so expressive about how you feel --- and that is something I've always loved about you. Our relationship has always been my greatest source of happiness. Spending time with you at the end of the day is all that I look forward to because that's when I feel more contented. I remember how my life was before I met you. That was when I had nothing much to get excited about except treating myself on my pay day, nothing much to get up for in the morning except a day at work. I think life has a plan for everyone though, and sometimes, you just have to be patient enough to see what it has in store for you. God didn't allowed me to be stuck in that dreary existence. I patiently waited for awhile... then life granted me what I had always wanted. After more than three years of waiting, He gave me YOU. I will always be grateful to fate for bringing us together. 

I know that I'm not perfect, but I will strive to be the best person I can be. You're worth it --- definitely worth it. I know that we can do great things together. I look forward with hope and excitement to the future we will build together. 

Serendipity happens...

One of the happiest things in life is when you know you're in love with someone who loves you MORE..

T'was in May when Cupid paid me a visit. Someone added me on facebook. A stranger who soon became a friend. I didn't expect our friendship would grow right from the very first day we exchanged messages. The question "hi..batch ba mo ni ________ (whose name should not be mentioned) dati?" started it all, lol. We had really grown closer...and we're spending more time together through facebook and skype since we're miles apart. It's amazing how our feelings for each other blossomed very fast. Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true. 

For me, he's a GIFT... beautifully packaged full of sweetness, beauty and love. As cliché as it may sound, I just feel lucky to have someone who does the most random-est things just to make me happy. Someone I can joke around with and end up smiling every time. Someone who gives me the feeling of HAPPINESS AGAIN. He makes me feel loved, he makes me feel safe, but more importantly, he makes me feel wanted... :)

I SHOE love you!

If I am going to reward myself for all my hard work for this month, I would definitely splurge on these pairs. I've been coveting over these sorbet colored pumps and platform wedges all these months. There's something about these hues that brings me back to my "Barbie" days. If I'm going to throw money right at this moment, I would immediately buy all these cutie patootie pairs. But for now, I'll just feast my eyes on these nlng muna, haha! ;)

Minidress on a Merry Christmas

Christmas party with officemates and favorite gals just in one day? T'was a piece of cake! Since our office party was held at a resort, I chose to wear something girly and flirty. I've already mentioned in my previous post how much of a sucker I am for floral prints. There's really something about it that makes me feel happy and lively all day! 

What could be more striking than this pair of flip-flops? 

I didn't have time to change my outfit since I immediately head back to my hometown to have dinner, drinks and kris kringle with my friends. I would say this floral print dress was my best bet for a flawless transition from day to night. 

This dress fits me to a T and I love the color combination... MUCHO!

And there you have it --- my fabulous minidress on a merry Christmas!


Stay fabulous!

Turning 27 was quite difficult for me. I must admit that this was the year that truly made me feel like I still haven't accomplished much... that I need to bite off more --- a whole lot more than I can chew. But I'm proud to say that this year, I've grown to become a more independent and more mature person. And I've turned into the kind of person who likes to look at the bright side of things. There's just so much to be thankful for that  whenever trials come my way, I quickly think: "there's always a light at the end of the tunnel". 

Stay fabulous!

It's a GIRL!

Being pregnant, especially with a first child, is such an exciting time in a woman's life. And the most wonderful thing you can do for a mother-to-be is to throw her a baby shower. All credit to Dave and Sunshine who lifted a finger just to make it possible (clap! clap!). 

Choosing a perfect color pallete for her shower was a complete no-brainer for us: PINK, PINK and more PINK for baby Blossom!

Balloons can really spruce up a party room. Sunshine transformed every nook and cranny into a fun and colorful one with her own fair hands (three claps this time, chos!). The decorations are so adorable that we couldn't help but take it home, lol

Baby shower is incomplete without a game or two --- or three. 

One of the nicest gifts a friend can give to the mother-to-be is a set of thoughtful wishes. I just hope everything goes smoothly with baby Blossom's arrival. 

Everyone still enjoyed the party despite the little misunderstanding. Oh well, all's well that ends well. 

I can't wait to see booties and bonnets, ribbons and lace, little stuffed toys over baby Blossom's place! Tita-Ninang is very excited to see you soon! ;)
