feeling great
Oh Yes! at last and pinakaka mithi kong bakasyon ay natupad din.
Last friday is a special non-working holiday coz of the edsa day and there’s more… march 1 is declared non-working holiday at muntinlupa (my office place) so I immediately filed a leave on Feb 28 which is today.
Meron pa kasi akong unfinished business sa wedding stuffs like:
- Marriage contract which I only filled (the application at the qc hall) last thursday, to be release on Mar. 1 sakto dahil ng naka bakasyon pako.
- To select pictures na ilalagay sa album namin, also songs para sa wedding video, and mga growing up pictures namin ni Daleng.
- Finally posted my supplier ratings to W@W and here.yahooo!
Feb 26 – Saturday
- We also got the chance to be in a movie theater again (with Rap and My), tagal na naming di nakapanood eh. I liked the movie CONSTANTINE, not the usual.

“If your self-esteem falls overboard, throw out a rescue line. Pull yourself back together, wherever you’re at. Don’t be your own worst critic, be your own best ally. Because you’re worth it, that’s why.”

20 years…
A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in
their bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She
finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches
as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
“What’s the matter, dear?” she whispers as she steps into the room.”Why
are you down here at this time of night?”
The husband looks up from his coffee. “Do you remember twenty years ago
when we were dating, and you were only 16?” he asks solemnly.
“Yes, I do,” she replies. .
The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. “Do you remember
when your father caught us in the back seat of my car
“Yes, I remember” said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued. “Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my
face and said, ‘Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for
twenty years?”
“I remember that, too” she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from his cheek and said . . “Laya na sana ako ngayon.”
it’s been a month
When I hopped to Lyra’s blog, Just remembered that we also have a month after the Dec 30 wedding. Our weekend are still hectic due to house chores and unpacking our stuff’s that’s why we forgot about it.
We now get along most of time, minor arguments that sometimes lead to major AWAY are lessened.
Our monthly budget is also settled, we listed all the payables.
We really need to save more as I plan to get a house & lot soon, yes “I” only… while Bernard keeps on insisting that we should invest on a car first. NO-NO he will not convince me on that, I know for a fact that a car value depreciates.
MIL is not officially leaving with us pa, coz from time to time she stays at Tayuman. I feel guilty minsan coz since I came in as a GF/wife nabawasan bonding nila ni Bernard.
Despite of the adjustments and difficulties were facing, I still soooo love to be married.
