We are so happy to receive such a wonderful, and mind you, very personalized wedding gift from Ms Vania Tong. She is one of the US Missionaries who came here in Cagayan de Oro with other vibrant teens to spread the Word of God. The group really leave a lasting legacy especially for those whom they were able to reach out..

Her gift was really one of a kind. we can really feel the thoughts more than the gift itself. With all the efforts she made in order for her to come up with such a very cute and meaningful painting. My hubby once told her a part of our love story which includes the lonely tree found on the hilltop of one of the place in Cagayan de Oro. Such tree was a thing in the past now because it was destroyed by lightning. The people cut it before the lightning will strike it once again to avoid further damage. We were really disheartened upon hearing the truth. We are supposed to have our pre-nuptial pictorials there but it was already cut when we went there... Though the tree was gone but its memory will remain in us forever...

One of the most unbearable thing that we may experience is having an eye sore caused by so many factors. Before it get worst, treat your eyes with fashion glasses. These  glasses are good if you don't want to sport that nerdy look. Or if you need some minor treatment, why not try $6.95 prescription glasses? Sounds amazing? Yes, Zenni Optical Eyeglasses got it all for you. They have so much more to offer especially for some special occasions with their Holiday Themed Frames.

I used to have my hair done in a beauty parlor especially during special occasions. Yes it is very expensive but it is the least and perhaps the best thing that I can do in order to look good. Like any typical women, I am very much particular with how my hair should look. It's our crowning glory. However, with the economic crises that confronted us today, spending money for vanity has become a pain on our pockets. My Mom taught me to use ceramic flat irons instead of getting my hair straightened chemically. I took her advice of course because Mom knows best.

The good thing about ceramic flat irons is that you can use it anytime you want it. If you want to look more sophisticated with curls, try also using curling irons, the instant curlers for long hair. It is indeed very practical to use considering that such products are re-usable. Of course, you just don't buy any quality, you have to select the best. However, if your hair isn't that unruly, Blow Dryer will also do the trick. I have read lots of Blow Dryer review and I can testify that it is safer and more convenient to use. If you want them all, then get it. But of course, select the best quality that would give value to your money. If you need some guidance, try the one-stop online beauty center at http://www.loveourprices.com and true to its name, you will surely love their prices because they offered big discounts and you have lots of items as well as brands to choose from. If you want the best for your crowning glory for a very affordable price, spend and choose wisely!

One year ago, I posted this note on my FB account during the 29th Birthday of my ex-boyfriend (now my ever loving husband) Junie... As I read this note again, I was really so happy on how God really work things out in His perfect time for our relationship to grow and eventually bind us together us ONE...

Let me share again to you the said NOTE:

I am asking myself these questions for so many times... Why do I love him despite all those negative things I heard about him... Why does my heart beats for him? I have been interrogated by my heart and my mind because even them cannot get the right answer. Corny? Hmmm... I really do not care how will you take it but I am just trying to express how I truly felt about him. We do not have that perfect relationship, what we have is pure love and contentment with each other. We are both positive that God brought us together for a reason. Whatever is that reason, I am glad and will always be. I grew up with the belief that men were born to frustrate women (that's the impression that my father left in my heart). I have so many frustrations, I have so many doubts, I have so many questions- but I realized that these are the proofs that my heart really beats for him..Why? because without those feelings, I am completely unmindful of this relationship, but I'm not. I tried to be numb but I just cannot deny it nor I can deceive myself... Corny again? but that is just the truth.

My doubts and confusions put him to the tests- but he survived. I tried to give up for countless times but he remained. I pushed him away but he never let go. I cannot explain how God made me feel this way.Why am I sharing all these feelings? Because it matters...One thing is certain... I love this man and I am very much willing to spend the rest of my life with him if God willing. ♥♥♥

That certain things I have mentioned remains unshaken... in fact, by the will of God- we made it... We both took the vow to spend our lives together for the rest of our lives on April 28, 2011.

And now, as he turned another year of his God-given life, he will be facing another chapter of his life, not only as the loving husband to me but as a doting father to our baby soon...

To you my dear Huggybear, forever and ever will be my love for you. I really thank God for having you... I once said before that you are the most misunderstood man I've ever known, but allow me to take that words back. Because the truth reveals that the man I saw in you before was not the man I thought you were... You completely changed for the better, and I really love that. People may soon be able to see what I saw in you today, I really do pray. What matters most now to me is that I am so happy to have you. All my doubts and confusions were completely vanished. I am so thankful to God on how much you cared and loved me today and I know it will carry on for a lifetime...

To you my Huggy, I am so proud to say that I never regret the day I said I DO. I love you sooooooooooooo much!

I blessed the day you were born... Because on that day, God started to write our love story.

And the reason is LOVE...

I love you so much...

I really  thank God for having you...
