Went home last night feeling very nauseated and heavy...
Opened the door... there's a party.....
Rice is cooking, pancit just done, 2 cakes and fruits on the table, and on the chair, some clothes.
(Of course, there's also little Marky, making kulit)
Thought it's somebody's birthday... so I asked Daddy what all this is for.
I almost cried. Hugged him tight. =)
That was last night. Today, June 9, 2011, marks our 10th year as a couple. It's not like how some people will perceive it to be... it's actually a super on-and-off thing during our first years... and we really just got along a few years back....
10 years ago, we were both active young community leaders, and that's how we met. Remembered my prayer back then that I want a church group member to be my lifetime partner. He came... but I never thought then that he's the answer to my prayer. Thought he was just another guy... but apparently, we're meant to be together.... Indeed, that's how this website was conceived...through the belief that people who are meant to be together always find their way in the end (One Tree Hill).
Roughly two years ago, I got pregnant with our first child, Marky. That's when we started living together. It wasn't always easy. Like many couples, we often have misunderstandings, there are things about each other that we just can't accept, and we were always defensive. But as time flies, we found out that one reason why we stuck to each other: We know how to push each others' buttons. =) We know we can fight and soon, we'll just be laughing about it. It also helped that he's a very responsible person. He values his image and his principles very much... they're principles that are very liberal... they're bound to raise eyebrows, but hey, they work wonders....
And yeah, it helped that whenever I look at him, now a lot healthier and flawed, I can still feel that 'kilig,' and I fall in love with him more and more each day.
Now, I'm almost four months pregnant with our second baby. Told Marky it's gonna be his baby. Know it's gonna be a challenge, but if Marky brought us closer together, this sure will, even more.
Thank You, dearest Lord, for the wonderful ten years....
He is the best thing that's ever happened to my life....
He completed me.
I love you so much, Daddy.
Happy, happy 10th birthday.
LOVE,
Mommy =)
