19th Anniversary

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 19th 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 had our first date only in Popeye’s SM Bicutan. Hahaha!

3)     What movie did you first watch as a couple? – Our first time watching a movie together is of course with another couple back then and we watched Johnny English - a comedy film starring Rowan Atkinson who is more famous as being “Mr Bean”

4)     What is your favorite color? We both like the color blue so when we built our house, we painted the kids room baby blue.

5)     Do you have a theme song? – When Gerard is still courting me, he always play this song in the car – Why I Love You from B2K (American R&B group) so I guess this is our song 😊

6)     What is your favorite food? – We both love to eat American, Italian – burgers, pasta and pizza.. and of course we love chocolates! That is something we cannot live without.

7)    


Any wrong incident happened at your wedding? – Not really wrong and I don’t think people made a big deal out of it… but I guess it is our wedding cake…. It was color green! Not exactly your typical wedding cake. The wedding cake is part of the package we got from the reception venue. We just had to choose the cake from a standard set of sample cakes in the pictures and we just have to indicate the color we want… since our color motif is Sky, Sage and Lavender… and the entourage is already wearing Sky Blue and Lavender… I chose Sage as the color of the Cake.. I thought they will make the green light… but no… it was bright green! 😊

8)     In which town did we grew up? We are both from Paranaque… 😊 truly from the south 😊

9)     Who was first ready to marriage? For this question, to be honest I am not sure. What I only know is that I have a goal that I have set… I said that after 5 years of being in a relationship – I want to get married. I am actually even pressuring him as to when will he propose to me… hahaha 😊 He proposed on Dec 16, 2007 and we got married August 17, 2008. 😊

10)  Who decided on our Honeymoon? I think it was a mutual decision… we went to Hongkong for our honeymoon and it was unforgettable because we experienced Typhoon Signal no. 9 in Hongkong… it is the first time for Hongkong to reach that signal since 2003.

 Well, hope you enjoyed reading stuff about us. I am looking forward to more years together…

I love you B so much! 😊

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
