Thank You Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Will the real life Mr. and Mrs. Smith please stand up? Cause i wanna thank these two lovebirds, for this gorgeous blue dress they gave me over the summer. They're such a sweet sweet friend for so many years now. Again thank you Sallypot. 

And speaking of dresses, am re-organizing my closet yet again and again. Having a baby at the end of the year makes you think not to fret cause it's a just a little person coming to your life, so how can it possibly take space right? But na-ah! The baby will need plenty of room and looking at our home once again, made me realize there are so many things we have, that we don't use and need anymore. And truth be told, after having a baby, I know, I won't be able to wear them all again. The only way to a simpler life is to go forward, enjoy, and anticipate all the sweet changes that is bound to unfold. And besides, those clothes are well loved and once or twice I already gave them the justice they deserve, "fashion wise". IMHO.

So am gonna do another closet sale soon. I hope you'll love them the way i do.

Aye Aye Captain

It feels weird and amazing at the same time how this little human in my body is now calling all the shots. On what to eat, to like, and avoid. Example, I love coffee but he/she hates it. The smell, the taste. Suddenly, am no longer the boss of myself. But I love it. 

....thank you all so much for the heartwarming messages and emails I've been receiving since we announced the happiest news. I really appreciate them all. Right now am still gathering my strength and taking everything easy and slow. Can't wait to get stronger again, dress up, look nice, smile and tell more stories. Am just so happy in every step of our pregnancy you are always there to share our happiness, excitement and love. Thank you so much.

Will You Still Feed Me When am 64?

"There is no greater risk than matrimony. But there is nothing happier than a happy marriage" 

- Benjamin Disraeli

I believe in love, I believe in marriage. I believe in the union of two individuals making one life and finding happiness, joy, love, comfort, security and future with one another. I've been married with this man for more than 2 years now and we've been together for five years since 2005. I love this man.

I was hospitalized for 3 days since the beginning of the week for dehydration and not to worry cos the baby's fine and healthy. I never asked my husband how much he loves me, and this week made me realize I don't have to ask at all. He answered me with back rubs, by feeding me and making sure I was never alone. He loves me.

You see, I've been living alone since I was 21 and my life with him have been the best-est of all. It's so scary to think we were in love back then, compared to what we have now, that was just crazy talk.

......

Dear husband,

This song is for you. I want you to know that i love being married to you cos I know there's always someone special I can annoy for the rest of my life. 

Yours forever, 

"Maria Wrestlemania"

Green Green Grass of Home

It's a funny thing coming back home. Definitely looks the same, same old elderly people sitting in front of their houses, same faces of men with their growing belly gathering every morning to talk about...maybe their roosters, wives, kids and Pacquiao. It feels weird cos it even smells the same - the burning leaves every morning, the grass, the soil. It feels the same. Then you'll realize, what's changed is you.

Meet Yoka. I love her. Am stalking her. She's just amazing and brilliant. Did you know that she has a Law Degree but currently works as a Fashion Stylist? Goes to show that fashion is not just fun but a real serious challenging career,  that fashion is not for the shallow. Well Fashion should be a no-brainer right,  but on second thought not really.
