This is long overdue. My anniversary gift just happened to arrive by mail today instead of arriving on November 21, 2011. But nevertheless, here’s some sneak peaks:

I sent him a HUGE card with our pictures together since Day 1. It is difficult to pick out the best ones that would fit in it because we truly do have a lot of photos together! Pictures only say a lot of what it was and how it changed us both. I’m sure whenever we see one, we clearly see what …

Exactly 4 days after our 44th Monthsary. And I wake up with a very bad dream. I woke up crying and what’s in me was shouting. Dreams will never be reality. And I just miss waking up beside you after I wake up from these crazy bad dreams knowing reality will always be what I choose to have… what I would want to have forever.
Here we are, and still together. Every one always dreams of forever I should say. And we deeply believe in that too. Every one …

Today I got one of the best news delivered by mail! It felt like winning the lottery or something like that - makes you stomach jump and your heart just races with different emotions you can hardly breathe. A few days ago I was given this RFE Notice letter and I was feeling its going to be harder than I though. I managed to do a lot of research and knew its a one time thing. It was a either a make or break move for me. …

Mother’s Day is celebrated today all throughout the world. I celebrate it too together with all the moms out there. Its one of the highlights of every year I guess. Its the time where we get to feel extra special and be thanked for. Being remembered that being a mom does entail a lot of love and hard work. I got my mother-in-law some bouquet of pink kissed roses. My husband gave me some white roses cookie bouquet which are so yummy and adorably wonderful. Thank you so much, Sweetest.

He …

Recently, Tabby and I have been quite emotional on our current situation of being just far from each other. We’ve had talks about “coming home” yet knowing otherwise that this distance situation is for the purpose of a long term goal. It’s really sad to have that emotional weight sometimes lurking and bothering you at the most unexpected and denial times. I recently just surprised him intending to show how much I care even though we are miles apart. And as we walk this journey… We have had …

Today is April 13th.
Let me begin talking about my day. I woke up drastically thinking I was late for work. Only to find out today was my only day off after working five straight days and will be working another five straight days starting tomorrow. My days off are extraordinary. I don’t really do much or party hard not even socialize. I am just at home blogging, surfing the net, or trying to buy stuffs online only to sell later on. I have gone used to it somehow. Of trying …

Work is no fun at all. I have been scheduled to work five days in a row for three weeks now. The only thing good about it is that I get to enjoy my long two days off. Whatever happened to Friday and Saturday night outs? Dinner dates? Its what I have been missing ever since I got here in the states. Our culture has indeed impacted on my life more that I think it did. Adjusting to a whole new world has its pros and cons. What …

Another ridiculous fight with you. I’m going to be away for a while ’till you understand the meaning of that big line up there. I don’t really know what’s going on in that mind of yours why we argue monthly. Its just insane. It might be me. Might be you. I don’t know. We just talk okay then all of a sudden we argue. There’s no pointing fingers here.
We say things we don’t mean, may it be harsh or not but mean, its all the same thing. WE HURT EACH …

Just when we thought these cards were lost forever. It finally arrived this afternoon. Sweetest send this like a weeks ago before the Heart’s Day hoping it would come just as scheduled on the 14th. Apparently, mailing was  a bit delayed so it arrived on Feb.24, 2011. Better late than never huh?
I was just about to go to the office when a man riding a motorcyle just asked me about my name at the gate. And I said yes, and there they were, 2 red envelopes …

Hearts day it is. A few months ago we had the time of our lives. Sadly, now we are faced with the reality that we can’t be together to take part in the worldwide celebration of Valentine’s Day. But even though that holds true, today is meant to remind us of that love we have over the years. Isn’t that the real purpose (or meaning) of why we prepare and do something special? All boils down to having that resolve in us, that realization of commitment. I love …

It was on October 21, exactly a month before our third anniversary and 8 days since I arrived.
Tabby told me about having a formal dinner date as it is going to be our first monthsary celebration together after being away for a year. Tabby had work that day and so I had all the time to prepare and wait for him to pick me up at home. Surprisingly, he had a bouquet of flowers on the passenger’s seat. Its the first time he gave me a non-rose bouquet. I wanted …

September 18th 2010

Don’t get the dates wrong. Tabby turned 27 the day after I arrived. Now you know how crucial of a booking it was for me. *wink* Since we had to stay in Manila to rest off, we had the 15th to get back. We decided to schedule the party on the 18th as that would probably be the best day of the week to have a celebration since its a Saturday.
During the two days we had at home, we got the place tidied up and painted and …

I can’t believe I’m finally here with you! Thank you so much for bearing with the long distance Sweetest. It was hard for the both of us and yet we still remained faithful all throughout. I know this won’t be the first time we will be separated by distance… I hope and pray that we will still withstand all those moments we have to be away.

I am too happy today to announce that I days ago I booked my round trip flight! It’s been months and weeks that I have been bothered about having the plan to go home yet I have not booked the ticket yet. Right now, it is all for real. One step closer to that day and I’m putting myself in that state of reality. Yes, I feel like all these are just part of a dream or a memory of the past. Mind you, this is the longest time I’ve …

I just came from work today, tired and very drained. I really miss the work I had way back in the Philippines. In college I had lots of activities in large organizations that allowed me to be doing office work yet be on the field when production shows are about to be up and running. After college I got into a company which was pretty much on the IT industry. Every work was facing the monitor screen and having your hands and fingers on the keyboard for ninety percent of …

Missing you has never been easy. Can’t wait. I wanna speed up in time, and let it freeze a lifetime.

Take me where I’ve never been
Help me on my feet again
Show me that good things come to those who wait
Tell me I’m not on my own
Tell me I won’t be alone
Tell me what I’m feeling isn’t some mistake
‘Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can
Save me from myself, you can
And it’s you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow tonight would never end
If you asked me …

“Just 86 days more to go, and what was once separated would now be together.”
I love you Sweetest.

One of the best things in life is when someone can finally call you “Mommy”…
Yes, it is still fresh in my mind that very special day I gave birth to my very first baby. It was a feeling I know I will forever hold close to my heart ’til my last breathe. Being blessed to become a mother is ultimately giving me the strength and purpose of living my life in a way I would want my children to live theirs. I am very happy to be a mom. I …
