19th Anniversary

Image
Oct 1, 2003 – This is the day that I have said ‘yes’ to Gerard… yes to becoming her girlfriend… even if he did not formally asked… hahaha! 😊 So when he heard me say ‘yes’ he actually got confused because he was not even asking… but of course, he was so elated to hearing me say yes to him. So now as we celebrate our 19 th anniversary as boyfriend-girlfriend… let me share 10 trivia questions and our answers: 1)      Where was your first meeting place? – Gerard said she already saw me the first time I attended the Christian Life Program for Singles For Christ and in fact he even said that he was the one who handed my ID… but of course I don’t remember…. But eventually I get to notice him in the events for Singles For Christ. 2)       Where did you have your first date – If ever we are asked about this… we already have an agreement to say that our first official date is in Italiannis in Greenbelt Makati. But of course, the truth is that we h...

 A wise man said “Forget about aging gracefully; focus instead on aging gratefully.” This is so true because as we age, we begin to appreciate all the blessings that God continues to bestow upon us. Some might have seen in my previous post that my birthday this year is something I did not plan nor expect. Our whole family is isolated/quarantined as we are all positive for Covid 19.

But of course since God is so generous, it did not end there.  As I was about to close this blog, I happened to browse one of my old blog entries dated Oct 22, 2022. Just a bit of history, my dad died on Oct 22, 2010. But a year after, god gave us our princess- Giulia. So in my blog post, 2 years after my dad passed- I wished for something…  I wished for a son for my sister and brother in law. I cannot r...

My Simple Wish on my birthday

Flashback to years ago, during the time when Gerard was still courting me, he asked what I want for my birthday and I told him - I want the small, powder- blue Lacoste bag. I also told him the things that I will do on that day - from attending mass early morning- going to office the whole day etc…  I am sure he bought the bag - the only surprise will be the time on when he will give it. He did not know that I planned my whole get up - from clothes to shoes to match that bag. My birthday came- he attended mass with me, but the question is- did he give me the bag? No.  So I went to the office- they planned a little surprise and ask Gerard to come over. Of course, he then showed up with  flowers… such a sweet gesture I must say. But did he give me the bag? still no.  So imagine, I wore matching outfit and shoes but no bag to matched with. So when my day was about to end, I went home and changed to my sleeping clothes. Only then Gerard went to the house to give the gift-...
