A V-day post.

I've always believed that God has carefully planned my life for me...

That's why I do not regret any experience and simply enjoy the wonderful blessings that come my way.

I recently had a realization that I'd like to share...

So far, my boyfriend count has been: ONE.
And I plan to keep it that way!
And people would almost always be amazed that I've been keeping a relationship with only ONE person for more than SIX YEARS...
And, for some reason, as a common "outlet" of love stories-slash-problems, in the end the people I've come to talk to would eventually say how lucky I am with my "love life"...
And i just smile.

I never expected I would have someone who is smart, independent, 101% responsible, super loyal, extra sweet, understanding, and loving. (cheesy, i know!)

Anyway,

At this point in our relationship, we're honestly talking and opening up to the idea of the big M... Marriage.
It's actually never been taboo for us.
In fact, we're looking forward to it!
And belonging to a generation where people marry very young...
We secretly get jealous of people who could afford a house or condo, and a fancy wedding at a young age...
When we stress out at the office (him even trying to find sideline work), put aside some money with our mean salary (considering he has to pay rent, the car loan, and bills, and i have siblings to support)...
Earning gradually, our closest time to getting married would be in 2-3 years...considering we already have a decent place to live and a budget for an intimate wedding in Caleruega...

But hey!
What's the rush?

My realization is this:
We are on the right track.

Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of spending for my family.
I love buying them gifts I never thought I'd afford...
And I love the satisfaction I get from earning!
I have another account where i deposit a percent of my salary every payday, and Jejo has the ATM card so I don't get to use it, except for emergencies of course :p

And another thing, I love the feeling of missing him, because we only see each other once a week...
I enjoy the boyfriend-girlfriend hangouts and adventures to new experiences and places (places we couldn't go to before kasi wala pang car!)
I secretly fancy the petty fights that don't last for a few minutes.
I like to talk to him about everything: my success and failures, how my day went, what i discovered, what i bought, when i feel like ranting about something ETC!
I'm a bliss when he calls me at night before we go to sleep...and calls me in the morning when he wakes up (special thanks to SUN of course)...

And so, I truly believe God has this planned for us...
We just have to wait for our right time.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Cheers to True Love!

at siya nalang magsabi sa kay Ma'am Ira (my Design Manager for the project)
na uploaded na yung project...at dahil...birthday ko! :p

Then after, Sir Eric called:
"Lique! loka ka birthday mo pala, di ka nagsasabi..."
pasahan na ng cellphone...puro greetings..

On my birthday, ang dami kong na receive na messages...

Anyway, basta super duper fun!!
i told Jejo isa toh sa most memorable birthdays ko..
yung iba nung 15th birthday ko nung binigyan ako ng isang dosenang white roses ni enok na pinaabot niya sa gurad ng school..despite the fact na greving period niya nun nung namatay mother niya (AAWW).
the other one was my 18th birthday of course!
kahit walang traditional party, my friends and family made an effort to make it memorable :D
...with the recorded messages, kurecolors, and pancake frenzy (wee!)

I thank th Almightly Lord God for granting me another year!
...and for all the loving people around me,
my family, my friends, jejo...
it's because of them i feel so much blessed.
