+*+ Our Holidays together +*+

My husband and I had gone through alot of struggles in our relationship... we never thought we'll survived and end up together.. yet through it all, our love has grown stronger. I never thought that life could be happier with him... Now, I can't imagine my life without him.

Hindi na yata ako makakakita pa ng lalaking kagaya niya... He is the most precious gift God has given me..of course, except the gift of salvation. This, I realized by being with him for two weeks time...

It was really a wonderful feeling to share the holidays with my husband..It was our first Christmas and New Year together as husband and wife...and it was different. Really different.

Due to my condition, we didn't go to any of his relative's provinces to celebrate the holidays. But we had fun the whole week. We went shopping for gifts to give to our cute inaanaks, we found time to visit friends, we went cooking together..and eat together. He helped me cooked carbonara and buffalo wings which was our share for the family's noche buena.. We also had time to watched movies during the film festival, and went to baywalk to witnessed the pyro olympics...

During the New Year's Eve, before leaving our house to join with my family (we always join my family during Christmas and New Year and celebrate with them), we read the bible together first, and renew our promises to each other..and prayed. I was really crying when we we're praying. I was soo touched when my husband promised me that he will be more loving, etra sweet, responsible and good husband. He also promised to be a good daddy now that we're having our bundle of joy. I trust his word. Ngayon pa lang ramdam ko na yung kabutihan na pinapakita niya sakin...

I promised him also that I'll be a better wife... We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Though, expensive gifts aren't present...It's already a blessing big blessing for us to have each other.

I pray that as we go on with our lives as husband and wife, the love won't last. The joy won't end..and the humor will always be present...we laugh even on tiny little things..we've discovered that nothing is more reviving than a good laugh as we recount the day's little experiences to each other... It is true that marriage is a serious commitment for life, yet I think we can also be childlike about it and trust God's leading, taking one step at a time.

We stumble along; we make our mistakes; we have our disagreement and arguments. But afterwards we love each other all the more.

I'm praying that we'll always celebrate this season with each other...

Still here

It's been...what? two weeks since my last post....quite a hiatus. A lot of things happened na but I haven't updated yet my blog..hmmm... tinatamad nanaman?

Well, just want to tell you some of the things I've done and been doing....

I was busy conceptualizing for our Christmas Party presentation..as usual, I'm one of the committee members and I was assigned for that particular task...make a skit for little fun during the party... As of the moment I can't put all of the ideas together.... (*sigh). I digress.

Last week as i was browsing through my W@W emails, I found out that N@W will be having a baby shower party. Eager to find out what it was, I asked Ms. Benz if I can join...even if I haven't signed up yet to N@W. many thanks to Mama Benz for allowing me to come. It was last Saturday Nov. 19 at the Oasis Manila.

So excited...

though, I'm kinda reticent, since Im not a N@Wie yet, I went with my sister and I really had fun during that time. Alot of prizes were given out and I'm one of the lucky mom-to-be to get a price. Thanks to Wyeth.. I recieved 2 packs of Avent Feeding bottles!! yipeee!! Also, each of us received alot of gift packs and loot bags after the event.

the souvenir

the loots and my prize!

I also learned alot of things during that day. Lalo na on breast feeding. I was encourage from the talk of Abbie and Rissa (n@wies) and also on the mayawrap slings. I'm planning of purchasing one when my baby comes. I know It'll be helpsul. Also, I learned that you can teach your babies to talk to you pala even before they actually talk!... Rissa and Abbie also talked about baby signs....

Many many thanks to N@w for coming up with this kind of event. Super helpful and encouraging!

What a day.

I had my fill of that long vacation... really relaxing and refreshing.... I also had so much time bonding with my husband. hmm.... hope there will be another long vacation like that one. Mindoro naman. I digress.

I went to Divi with my sisters to buy Christmas decors. We were there noon time. As expected, a lot of people were all over the filthy...smelly...street... but then, we're still able to get what we went there for. We went to 168 Mall and bought few things. We also went to Tabora were I was able to buy my christmas tree and some other decorations. We were exhausted...and sweaty....plus few rain showers made the place really unsightly... added to that was my not so good experience. My bag was slashed.

Good thing was, the woman (whom I actually see behind my back--possibly the one who did it!) didn't get anything from me! (Praise GOD!) -- I didn't bring a huge amount of money naman....but what upsets me was...my BAG. I love it but now it had to undergo SERIOUS surgery (hehehe). Buti na lang, I bought a native bag at 168 mall so I just transferred all my things there.

The Lord is really protecting us wherever we go. I was happy pa rin and we went home really satisfied with our good buys.

When I arrived home, my husband and I busied our selves decorating the Chrsitmas Tree that I bought....

well...kulang pa ng ribbons and other decors yan...hehehe..
