Painting The Silence...

I had a wonderful birthday. This is the first time that I got two rings as birthday gifts. The other week, Leih's mom gave me an Opal ring. Then today, Leihson surprised me with two birthday cards, a small blowout feast which was delivered to the office, and a big gallon of my favorite strawberry ice cream. We had spaghetti and an array of yummy pastries from Bread Talk. Afterwards, Nanay Lut handed to me a golden sheer laced bag with a ring box in it... I knew it! Leih's gift was a diamond ring! We've been playing guess for the longest time and he even gave me clues such as "small," "colorful" and "hard." He would deny it whenever I'd say ring. Funny... I was right all along... He gave me a glistening 1.5 carat diamond ring, it had 5 diamonds with the largest in the middle. He did not give me flowers today. But I surely loved his surprise..I don't think there's anything else I would have w...

Today is Amaya's town fiesta. I was still at the gym trying to break a sweat when Nanay Lut (Leih's mom) dropped by our place to give us some food from the fiesta. She also handed to my mom a small silver box with a tag "A Gift For You"... It was her early birthday gift to me.. I was so touched by her gesture. She really remembered my birthday and went out of her way to purchase this beautiful ring with my birthstone on it. She says it's for good luck. I am so lucky for having Nanay Lut as my future mother-in-law. I can feel that she loves me already. Words are not enough to express how grateful and happy I am. My birthday hasn't arrived yet, but I think I'm gonna have a lot more to look forward to...

It's 10:45 in the evening and I just finished updating our website... I felt like updating my Blogger site for a change... Just a while ago, my friends and I were talking about marriage and how tough it is to be married. Being older than me for more than half my age makes them more rightful to talk about it, and since I'm pondering on what lies ahead, it kept me thinking... Then it dawned on me... Somehow I felt a tinge of pride and relief... I realized, if not for destiny, I would have probably ended up with someone who would cheat on me and make my life miserable.. Looking back, I have nothing but gratitude for destiny on doing its part. It surely saved me from a lot of pain. When Leih came to my life, a lot of things changed for the better. At first I didn't occur to me that he could be Mr. Right. But he had been so patient with me, he practically did everything that would make me happy. I was his priority. With Leih, I never had to take the bac...

I got three dozens of deep orange American roses today from Leih. Just this week, I was thinking, ano kayang magbabago after we got engaged? Normally kase, once a guy gets the girl to say yes, some things start to change. The courtship tends to shift slightly to almost non-existent and you start to put your attention on other things like the wedding preparations that make you forget the "small things"..... Thankfully it looks like Leih won't change after all. He's still the thoughtful and sweet guy I know... I hope he stays this way... forever...

It's been a while since I last logged in to my blogger account. I said to myself, I better make up for the lost time by posting on something worthy to read for my fellow bloggers.. To start with, this article is not intended to badmouth any person who will be unfortunately dragged in while I write this. My blog is with purpose~~ first, to hopefully inspire other people especially those who are presently at their lives' crossroads, to prove to them that there is indeed a real fairytale and it comes true, only in different forms and ways.. Just liek any other normal girl, I too had my heart broken once or twice in the past. I guess heartaches are just inevitable. They're bound to hit you whether you like it or not. Two years ago, after my seemingly "publicized" relationship ended, people expected me to jump quickly into the dating bandwagon as it officially meant that I was again free to roll and have fun with my life as a single available chick. Well yeah, point ...

I knew it… Yesterday’s surprise wasn’t over… T his m orn ing, I got a hundred long-stemmed red roses beautifully arranged into a big bouquet.. It was so damn heavy, I had som eone put it at the back of the CRV just so I can take it home… The flowers were very lovely.. Together with the flowers was a pink Red Ribbon chocolate cake with a caricature of a couple bearing a sign above, “I love you”… Leih’s mother, Nanay Lut brought some lunch for me and my officemates and a super deliciousde ssert she had specially ordered for me.. It was soooo sweet.. I was very touched… Though there was no Valentine that I didn ’t get anythi ng, today was truly exceptional… I really felt special.. so so so special. I will be sleeping w ith a big smile on m y face. I may have had a tiring day at work, but I definitely had a super awesome Valentines day....

A day before Valentines, a magnificent display of five different-colored roses were delivered to my office... It was of colors pink, fuschia, red, white and orange.. . Five dozens to be exact, all placed in their transparent vases, with corresponding pop-up red heart ball oons an d a small teddy to go with it... I was speechless upon seeing the surprise as I came back into the office after my lunch break.. My table was literally filled up with long-colored boxes! It feels good knowing someone cares for you this much... I was smiling all day after that... It isn't Valentines day ye t! Could my day get any better than this?? I'm really looking forward to tomorrow... I can already feel my cheeks burning! hihihi.. =) I have no idea how I managed to bring these flowers home.... My mom was marveled by the flowers I got... I hope I gave justice to the beauty of the blooms I got... Here are the pictures... Enjoy! Happy Valentines!!!!!!!!!!

Another set of flowers came in today, Tuesday, just before February stepped in.. Two dozens of pink/peach long stemmed roses were delivered to me by ISLAND ROSE, courtesy of someone who again wanted to see a smile on my face.. Sweet right? I'm beginning to wonder how my Fe bruary would be considering it's still a month before the day of hearts and I'm raking new sets of flowers every week.. Excitement starts flowing in my veins! Seems to me like I gotta get a new makeover b efore the big day! (LOL) I feel so elated... More like a girl with long-train-like hair.. (beat that.. hahaha) j/k.

There is a reason for this smile... Two dozens of lavender roses were delivered to my office at 12 in the afternoon for no apparent reason.. ~~ well, that wouldn't be exactly true considering my smile counts as the most valid reason according to the "giver". (LOL) Nice ei?? yup, they are gorgeous... It looks so good on my table...

After giving this brat a warm bath, I prepared him for work.. Yes, he, just like me, went to work in the afternoon. (LOL) I brought Zach to the office and just let him wander off at our spacious new office.. HE had a great time playing with his rawhide chew bone, j ust running to and fro until he got tired and dozed off... He is almost 3 months now and is fast growing.. actually, it looks like he's growing fatter rather than taller. He has a big appetite. (no ne ed for vitamins for this fella) It's quite obvious with his bod, right?? My baby is so adorable...

Another gorgeous addition to my flower diary... A combination of different kinds of mums as they call it, with hues of lavender, green, light yellow, deep red and striking Canary-yellow... Perfect....

A very dainty surprise of baby pink Stargazers on a Monday morning... It came in complete with a basket and a cute pink bow to match it.. A dozen more buds are about to bloom anytime this week...

My puppies, Zach, Macky & Houston turned two (2) months yesterday, January 4, 2008.. They've grown so big that they're so difficult to carry by one hand... It's quite obvious that they all have wonderful appetites.. Here are Zach & Macky's pictures with their Goldilocks Cheese Mamon Cake with a number 2 candle lit just for them... Mommy and I struggled to get them to pose infront of the camera but to no avail... They just won't stay put... All we could do was take one shot at a time, but it w as worth it.. Aren't they adorable??? Macky is about to find his new home next week... Judy is supposedly gonna nam e him Pop oy, but as long as he's still with me, his name remains to be Macky... This is Macky you see intently staring at the camera after his bath... (explains why his fur is still in disarray)... I will surely miss this cutie...

I am absolutely awed with my latest Christmas gift... I got a new 8GB 3rd Generation Ipod Nano... Barely 3 inches with a bright 320 by 240 resolution display, I found myself watching movies with it all the time, basically taking away my boredom during the long holidays... The sound quality was great, I couldn't say anythin g else.. It had an engraving at the back named "Ching-Ching" and comes complete with an armband I could use to help me get working on my new year- resolution.. yes, that would be the gym...., whew.. I better start burning up those calories I gained from the non-stop food-fiesta.. Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!
