a wedding toast

i'm a loyal follower of One Tree Hill so much so that i discuss it with my friends at work even weeks after we've watched a certain episode. its recent episodes (and i don't mean the reruns) have become more philosophical and romantic that i feel i just have to share a particular verse that was supposed to have been a best man's speech in a wedding. it sounds better as you're watching the episode, but what the heck, here it is...

my love...remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always
a promise, like a reward for persisting through life so long alone
a belief in each other and the possibility of love
a decision to ignore and simply rise above the pain of the past
a covenant which once binds two souls yet savages prior ties
a celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead;
but two will always be stronger than one
like a team braised against the temples of the world
and love will aways be the guiding force in our lives
for tonight is mere formality, only announcement to the world
of feelings long held, promises made long ago in the sacred space of our hearts...

kiddie party at Intramuros Golf Club

as ve said, "i wonder what they'll come up with when mattie turns 7...fire-blowing people, elephants, acrobats, the works..." i swear, the only normal kiddie party matt had was his 2nd and that was only because it was in McDo. his 1st was in Manila Polo Club (where people actually celebrate debuts, not kiddie parties). and what's more, his parties are always at night! this one, though, was supposed to start at 3 but only the celebrator was present because mommy, lola, lolo and tito were all nowhere to be found! talk about being independent at an early age...hihi...

well, his party turned out okay despite mommy being late. as for me, i still can't believe he's already 3! i remember how he looked like when he was just a few days old and now he's able to convince me to peel his grapes for him! awww....kids do grow up fast!



Matt turns 3!

here's to say i blogged

okay, okay. so it's been a month or so. well, not that the world stopped...although, gaile made me kulit a little about my laziness...hihihi...whatever...here goes...

it's 12:43am now, and i just got home from a movie date with my mother dear (it's been like this for the past two fridays, i'm afraid it's going to soon become a ritual if my boyfriend doesn't come to break the streak). in fairness, i loved Must Love Dogs and The Longest Yard...funny movies...too bad my boyfriend can't be dragged to watch chick flicks (well, unless i make him libre, which i can't at the moment coz i'm just too budget conscious now it's ridiculous)

anyway, the past month's been quite a ride...some weeks flew by and some days just felt like a whole week. i'm by my lonesome self in cubao while the rest of my groupies (or, should i say, ducklings) are in their own areas, too. cubao is convenient, i can afford to wake up at 7:15am and still make it to the office at 8:30am. nobody notices though that i'm early but i do make an effort, anyway. the downside to this is that when the mrt doors open at cubao station, it's not a very warm welcome courtesy of Farmers Market. i swear, for the first 3 minutes, i try my very best not to breathe. and then when i think i'm about to pass out, i let out a little breath and walk a little faster...both to shorten my agony and to escape would-be robbers...hehehe...

oh, the good thing about being in cubao is that there's always food. whether it be at dampa in libis (where we ate as though there was no tomorrow) or just in the makeshift dining area (courtesy of the agents/leaders), i never leave home without a happy stomach and a guilty brain lacking in self-control...oh well...at least i get to speed walk all the way to the mrt station just to say i burned my calories...

anyway, today marks the birthday of 2 men in my life. one, my little godson who's 3 (happy birthday, matt!) and my little flirt of a best boy bud who's old enough to charm both the young and the yuppie (happy birthday, parekoi!) i love you, boys!

it's also tito jose's birthday today...happy birthday, tito...i hope ve got you a decent birthday gift...hehe

i'll probably make kwento soon...my mother's new cd is lulling me to sleep...fantastic...
