Magbitang-Guiron Nuptial

I can’t remember how it happened but I received an invite from Jinna. It’s her wedding. With whom? Hmmm… who else but with his faithful lover Othan. I was actually surprised that she invited me considering the fact that we’re not that “extremely close” way back in college because we have different set of friends though we were classmates since 2nd Year. But I remember that once Jinna, Lina and I made a little business when we were on our Second Year and I even invited her in my debut. She was one of my 18 treasures. Jinna is a very bubbly person, a friend to everyone and a very athletic woman. Now, she’s saying goodbye on being single, walking down the aisle and welcoming the new role of being a “wife”.

Michael picked me up from La Salle in the afternoon. Khing was supposedly with us but she can’t. Anyway, Myke and I didn’t bring the van because we thought it would be easier to commute besides the price of gasoline is too high at this time. We enjoyed the ride anyway while eating our burgers and fries.

We arrived at exactly 6:00pm. Just right on time. The march was about to begin. I saw Othan and I signaled him that we’re already there. Hone took some shots first.

Then, the ceremony started. Here is my friend Jinna, walking down the aisle.

During the ceremony, hone and I took shots, take a glimpse.

There was a long photoshoot. Indeed, Jinna and Jonathan have so many friends. After the ceremony, I introduced Myke to them and the couple was very friendly and accommodating telling their parents to help us proceed in the reception.

The reception followed. There I was able to talk more with Jinna and Othan considering that there were 500 guests. Grabe!

And here are our cuddle moments:

Then, Myke and I spent our night in Jinna’s house. Her mom and sister perfectly accommodated us.

“And the two become one.”

From Jinna, I got my very first wedding invite from a college friend. Hmmmm, who’s next?

My Mom's Nth Birthday

She is Dr. Thelma V. Mosquera. A strict teacher and boss for her students and subordinates.

But for me, she's my ever- loving mom. And it's her birthday, today!:)

I brought her a cake from Red Ribbon. Very yummy!

She celebrated her birthday with us together with some of our churchmates.
From L-R: Yolly's Mother, Sis. Yoll's Sister-in-Law, Sis Yolly, My Mom, Si. Lina and Si. Jo (Hone's Tita)

The kids eating their ice cream.

Me and my better-half (busy sa party, mga punong abala)

He's Rocky, my Hon'es nephew. So cute and smart!

Eating began in our humble home.

Fellowshiping.

I wonder what's my Mama's wish...

Br. Jun, Ptr. Jerry and my Papa.

My Mom and I. If ther's onething I want to tell her, I wanna tell her that "Ma, I'm so blessed to be your child."

I asked her if she was happy. My mom answerd, "Yes anak, thank you."

That moment, it's as if the gravity wanted to pull my tears, but it didn't. I wanted her to see me happy doing those things for her.

Happy Birthday, Mama!

Moments In Life

There are moments in life when you miss someoneSo much that you just want to pick them from Your dreams and hug them for real!
When the door of happiness closes, another opens;But often times we look so long at theClosed door that we don't see the one,Which has been opened for us.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile,Because it takes only a smile toMake a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.Dream what you want to dream;Go where you want to go;Be what you want to be,Because you have only one lifeAnd one chance to do all the things You want to do.
May you have enough happiness To make you sweet,Enough trials to make you strong,Enough sorrow to keep you human andEnough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarilyHave the best of everything;They just make the most ofEverything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will alwaysBe based on a forgotten past; You can't go forward in life untilYou let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were cryingAnd everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so at the end,You're the one who is smiling and everyoneAround you is crying.
Please send this message to those peopleWho mean something to you (I JUST DID);To those who have touched your lifeIn one way or another;To those who make you smile When you really need it;To those who make you see theBrighter side of things when you are really down;To those whose friendship you appreciate;To those who are so meaningful in your life.
If you don't send it, don't worry,Nothing bad will happen to you;You will just miss out on the opportunityTo brighten someone's day with this message!!!Don't count the years-count the memories.... .......
Life is not measured by The number of breaths we take;But by the moments that take our breath away!

Hone's Best Birthday Blast

Hone celebrated his birthday together with me and his relatives. I took a picture of his gift to me, he bought it from her Tita:) It was so comfy.


The eating session began. Sarap ng palabok na nabili namin.

That's Alvin, his cousin and his tita Jean and another Tita (Oh, I forgot the name!)

Hone's cousins.

Us, eating our share.

My Hone, taking a dalanghita fruit from a guava tree,,, hahaha, good job:)

Artistic, isn't it?

A rainbow appeared infront of us. It was wonderful.

The last time I saw a rainbow was when I was in Highschool. That was years and years ago.

A closer look, if only the pixels were more finer.

We and the rainbow at our back:)

I took a shot of this lovely flower in his Lola's house.

During this time, there's a cube mania all over the Philippines, so I'm trying to solve one too!

My loving patner and I.

We were born on the same month, maybe that's why we clicked together:)

We have so many plans in our hearts, but we know, that it is God's purpose that will prevail. In the meantime, we're just doing our part and the things that needs to done... and the rest are entrusted to God.

Each day with him is a special day. And I always want to feel each day this way:)

for now, there are only few people that I trust - of course God will alwys be, then my Mom and Dad and my Hone. The others, I need to qualify first if I should trust them or not.

I asked how's his birthday, My Hone answerd, "It's the best birthday, I ever had. Thanks, Sweet, Love you so much."

He made me smile.

Only reminds me of you

I heard this song several times. It seems that I know it, but I actually don't. Today, I heard it again... and it stiked my heart once more... even without any relation in my life. Here's the lyrics.

I see you, beside me
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures in time
Fading to memory
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[chorus]

I try to run from your side
But each place
I hideIt only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lightsEven the night
It only reminds me of you
I needed my freedom
This what I've thought
But I was a fool to believe
My heart lied while you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything we've been through before
Now it means so much more

[repeat chorus]

Only youSo come back to me
I'm down on my knees
Boy can't you see
How could I ever let you go
Is it too late to let you know

[repeat chorus 2x]

My Birthday

Day of Birth

I thank the Lord my God for blessing me another year. A year that surely will be filled with love and laughter. I'm thankful that I'm still alive, and that He blesses me with wonderful things in my existence. I'm thankful that many people surrounds me and loves me for who I am... that includes my parents, my very own mama & papa; Michael, my life-partner; friends and of course my God, my Jesus, my Lord, my Saviour, my Everything.

The past year has been great. With all the things I experienced. I'm blessed, more than blessed! Last year, I celebrated my day alone. But this time, I'm celebrating it with my love ones... with Michael, later at 10 am and with My parents in the evening. I'll enjoy this day and I'll have a blast for this means greater blessings shall follow me and family.

I pray for good health- for me, my parents and for michael. I pray for wisdom and knowledge for my schooling and in terms of decision making. I pray for strength for our everyday work. I pray for peace of mind which rests my individuality. I pray for love that it may exists in every day of my life. I pray for joy that it may fill my heart. I pray for success and answered prayers that it may boost us to do more. I pray that I may be able to little by little fulfill my mission in life and bless God with all my work, as I offer everything to HIM.

Lord, use me now, I miss serving you. Let this year be mine. Let this year rain with greater blessings upon my family.

I love you, Lord. This is a wonderful day and you're going to do something which will make me happy.
