Why I Chose Him

Image
"I chose him not only because he chose me as well but because he chose to see the painful parts of loving me. I chose him not only to fill up the missing parts of me but because he chose to hold my hand and make things right even if I am almost hopeless about living. I chose him because he saw the best parts of being me in my own world. He made me feel like a brand new person which I never felt from anyone else before. I chose him because I believed in his pote ntial to stay with me even if the world will disagree. I chose him because I saw his tears fill up his eyes and that felt phenomenal and real. It was one of those truths about him that he's afraid to lose me. I chose him because I know his weaknesses and it complements my weaknesses too. I chose him because everything fell into its right places even if some days will be rough. I chose him because he was never meant to be perfect but the best partner I could pray for. I would still choose him if I have to liv...

LONGING OF THE HEART

"Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone.  To have a deep soul relationship with another,  to be loved throughly and exclusively.  But God is saying to the Christian,  No, not until you are satisfied,  fulfilled and content with being in love with me alone.  I love you my child.  And not until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction to be found,  you will not be capable of the perfect relationship that  I have planned for you.  You will never be united to someone until you have united with me.  Exclusive of anyone or anything else.  Exclusive of any other desires or longings.  I want you to stop planning,  stop dreaming  and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existed.  One that you cannot imagine.  I want you to have the best.  P lease allow me to bring it back to you.  Just keep watching me and expect the greatest things....

The Tita is Getting Married!!!

Image
Last weekend the titas of manila (my high school friends  called ourselves titasofmanila  , we really don't have a group name unlike when we where in highschool) had a surprise shower party for me. The plan really was to have a despdida party for Russell, one of our friends, she decided to migrate in the US and the she will start her new journey with her fiancĂ©. She was so brave to go alone and I admire her for that. I honestly don’t want to go or to have any gathering because it is crunch time for my thesis! I am far far far behind my schedule but I also thought that it would be our last get together so I need to open my schedule no matter what! I’ll skip the stress part of the day which was I need to finish the laundry, send the bahala na si batman kind of paper which was also due the same day, the commute and the grocery. :) Overall I enjoyed the party. the program. the kwentuhan (sa kanila lang talaga ako nakakakwento ng ganun eh), the games and the swimmi...

The Millennial Pamamanhikan

Image
As we all know I was engaged last February 14, 2016! See my previous  my Engagement Blog Post here.   We already announced to everyone that yes, were getting married!!! We still need to have a Pamamanhikan. It wasn't really the traditional pamamanhikan because in the Philippines, when you say pamamanhikan, this is the event when the guy/groom’s family comes to the home of the girl/bride’s family with the purpose of “asking the girl’s parents’ permission to wed the affianced pair.” A tradition that shows respect and honor for the girl’s parents before getting married.  That's why I can say that it was Pamamanhikan the Millennial Version. Kasi before this gathering our wedding is all set already. haha. But still it is still nice to meet the in-law before the wedding diba? <3  At first, we were thinking to have the event in our house in Project 4 however, we thought it would be hassle on our part if we push it there because we ne...

I got 4. I got 4 "Shout for joy Sing His praises Lift my voice unto the Lord" Since our grades were finally uploaded, I can say that today officially ends my MBA class. For the next months it will be pure paper writing and one big defense! It was a wonderful class! Our Professor Joseph Pangilinan or Prof J (I think he likes Prof J better) was very awesome. Who would just thought that he can makes STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT class lively and fun! Thank God he’s not bookish! He did not discuss the subject according to the book but rather to his own experiences. Which I thinks is much much much better! He is very cool. Look at our pictures. <3   Acknowledgment "I would like to give my most sincere appreciation and thanksgiving to those who help me in making this study possible, complete, and excellent. To our Almighty God, for giving us the opportunity to experience this kind of challenges that develop our skil...

Engagement Post Part 2

Pangarap to ni Gerald eh. Pedestrian shot. Pero sana naka corpo attire. haha! Here’s my utang of engagement prenup post! We had our prenup shot last July 24, 2016. Earlier this year we already booked our Photographer and videographer because I read blogs that aside from venue and caterer, photo and video are the priority suppliers. So, we joined different wedding, actually, my mind was already closed that I want to book supplier “A” because (1) they are cheap, (2) they had many freebies such as save the date, SDE, photoalbum. Etc.ect. and (3) they are cheap. Although, I read negative feedbacks about them, still I want to book them because as I’ve said a while ago my mind was “closed”. Sino mag aakala na highstreet lang to? My FiancĂ© was very vocal that he don’t want supplier “A”. So we looked for different suppliers. I offered him list of different photographer and videographer. Pros, cons and prices. As in full analysis. Guess what? No one passed! Hahaha. Pa...

  I am engaged! Engaged with the most wonderful engineer in the whole wide world!!! We got engaged last 02-14-16. Then, we planned our wedding on 12-14-16! 10 months of planning.. (Lord, help us!) Anyway, we had a pre-nup pictorial last Sunday (07/24/16) but before I make kwento on what happened in our pre-nup, I’ll share to you my engagement story. Since I can consider myself a number person, (although I’m stupid at mental math) I am always fascinated with the series dates like 07-07-07 or 11-11-11 or 12-13-14. I really wanted to have a wedding seriesable date. Hahahaha! Since life have ups and down I cannot be married on those dates. That’s why I desired to be married on 12-14-16 (it was not Fung Shui-ed as others thought). God really blessed me and give that desire. I can say that I am really a favored daddy’s little girl! Last quarter of 2015 and so, our conversation always include those “wedding planning”. We also attended wedding fairs. Although we never labeled an...

Before I will become busy again for my incoming term, I post a blog our Puerto Princesa Trip.  I am really on the mood to compose a blog now so I’ll take this opportunity before my katamaran hits me again! This Puerto Princesa trip was one of the most memorable one! Why? Because first, I was with my MBA colleagues and second it was Gerald’s first airplane ride. That’s why I need to document it very well. Hehehe before, during, after The night before our flight, I asked Gerald to sleep at our house since our flight was to early ad we cannot afford to be late!  And because we’re oh so excited, we arrived at the terminal 2 hours before. Haha! Anyway, It’s better early than sorry. There was a van waiting for us in the terminal to our hotel. Our hotel, Microtel, was too far from the city proper. Good thing they have vans that travelling every after 30 mins so that whenever we have errands or we want to hang around around the city, we can. Hassle free! It w...
