Late post - FOLLOW UP
As I was checking online, it reminded me that I haven't got to update my personal blogs these recent days (yes, 'blogs' because I own 2 personal blogs). Somehow, they're currently on the same page except that it was, uhm, 2 months ago (oh no!). I know I have a lot of things to say then... So, let's start!First, let's go back from January 2014, to which I recalled, t'was also the month of the Feast Day of Sr. Sto. Nino de Cebu in Cebu City, Philippines. Every 3rd Sunday of the month, we celebrate the feast day of the holy child of Jesus. For the first time in 27 years of my existence, I missed to celebrate it this year back home. Reason is, I'm out of the country and unfortunately, I can't go home. So, what I did, good thing there's this live streaming of the novena masses to the grand parade (thank God for that!) and gladly, I completed the 9-day novena and watched the whole day performances of the contingents on-stage and also the street dancing. I may have missed it personally, but I thank God for the new technology these days that I get to watch and celebrate online. It may seem really 'incomplete' for me knowing that I grew up with it, yet still grateful for the ways that God provided me and for the rest of the people who wished to witness it.
Viva! Pit Senyor! Viva, Sr. Sto. Nino! #love
Before the month of January to completely passed by, we got the chance to go home. (yay!) Celebrating Gong Xi Fa Cai in the Philippines! Me and my husband flew first to Manila and stayed for 2 days, then we flew to Cebu and stayed for the whole week. I am so happy and excited to see everyone especially my family. We got the chance to dine out together and meet with friends; also, we were able to join our relatives for a lunch date by invitation despite our tight schedules; my husband successfully completed his dental appointments with our family dentist and happily, we got to do most of the things that we need to do every time we go home. We also squeezed into our schedule our trip to & from Leyte (my husband's hometown) and stayed for a day. We are so thankful and grateful for this long week vacation back home. Thank you Lord!
So, we're now on the month of love - February! And we're back to work mode away from home. And Valentines preparation is everywhere. So many color red and love balloons and flowers, everywhere. Love songs here and there. What do you expect. Happy Valentines Day!
This year of V-day is our 1st Valentines celebration as a married couple. I was so excited to discover my husband's plans or surprises or whatever ideas he has in store for me, and to my 'no-surprise' cos I knew it - no flowers, no chocolates, no surprises for me. Except, an early 12am greeting, a sweet kiss and a tight hug from him is what I received that day. Sweet and simple and humble, as what he is.
As I was acting like a child 'coz I didn't get any flowers or chocolates from him (haha! Nagtampo si misis), and he was so busy that week due to work demands and meetings. He asked me the next day for a post-Valentines dinner date. Awww...
I giggly accepted his invitation. And we booked a table for 2 to a dinner buffet at one of the restaurants in Marina Bay Sands. After our dinner, we watched a movie - Robocop with popcorn and drinks (yay!) hahaha... and so, we ended a very sweet, fun-filled, food overload, sexy and romantic night together. And my 'tampo' mode is done! Thank you to my loving and understanding husband.
Happy to share with you a sample of our photos during post-Valentines date.
Thank you for taking your time in reading this summed-up-late-blog-post. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
xoxo
