11th Year

Last October 21st marked our 11th year of being together. We don't celebrate it like we used to. Actually, we don't celebrate it at all. I just reminded him of the date, we greated each other with "Happy Anniversary" and gave a small sweet smack.

Oh, how I miss the "old days"... having to eat a hearty meal, watch a movie and just spend the day together. Times have changed indeed... spend the day at home and think of it as an ordinary day. When I think about it, it actually doesn't matter that much if we do celebrate it or not. What matters most is we were able to spend another year of triuphms and failures, health and sickness, laughters and tears TOGETHER.

There are things that I am certain that didn't change. Our love and respect for each other. But come to think of it, it does have some changes too. Our love is stronger and more intense and the respect grew more. Plus the bond that ties us together, i believe, is greater than ever.

To Jimmy, I would like to let you know that no matter how we spend our anniversary, my love and respect for you will never fade. And as long as we are together, nothing and no one can ever change how I feel about you and our relationship. No words could express how thankful I am that God chose me to be with you. I love you and will always will!

Hope

I think I am about to give up hope... on losing weight, that is. Jim and I started going to the gym in September (thanks to my sister's corp acct). and after a couple of weeks, I gained instead of lost. Bakit kaya? Tinanong ko pa, e, alam ko naman ang sagot! Discipline. Yes, discipline. I lack it. and I lack it big time! I have to watch what I eat. I have to get enough sleep. I have to drink a lot of water. What else? Hmmmm...

Starting today, I will try to stay away from temptations. I will try to commit to just eating a cup of rice, drink at least 8 glasses of water and sleep early. I know these are not enough to lose some weight. But this is a great way to jump start the process.

Oh and one more thing, I will have to believe that I can do it, even if it takes a couple of years.

The Sweetest Kiss

What is the sweetest kiss?

Lately, my little boy got the habit of kissing me on my chin. I am just wondering, with my big, o big, face, why the chin? Is it because I have a couple of layers of it? But anywhere he plants it, as long as he does, I will be toooo happy to recieve that sweetest kiss....
