LOVE to LOVE

Today is Valentines Day. The celebration of expressing the most powerful emotion and feeling of all–LOVE. Like I have said in my previous hearts day posts, I will be away from the love of my life for this year’s Vday but it will never make such difference as everyday for us is a Valentines day. From the very start of us being together, Husband dear writes emails to me everyday. I admit, I am the not-romantic-non-expressive-other-half of the heart in our relationship and reading his emails everyday always melts me inside and longs for our moments together and dreads the time being apart. Most times he is overseas and to see his name in my inbox and reading the lines of his emails is one of the highlights of my day to day routine. I will never ever get tired of getting an email from him.

If one truly loves and being loved, expressing this powerful emotion is constant and spontaneous and doesn’t occur on every 14th day of February only, regardless of distance or time difference. For today’s post, there is no greater idea than to show you all how everyday seems to be a Valentines Day for me.

These are the very few, among the many heartfelt lines on Husband dear’s everyday emails that I will never ever get tired of reading.

      

I don’t pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone and that is you and still wanting to be with you more than any other person, love is trusting you fully and to tell you everything , including the things you  or I might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting my knees weak when I walk into a room and you smile at me

* * *

As I keep telling you I dream of our life together. Your lips to kiss and for my arms around you and loving you every day is what I want forever. To come home to you day after day knowing you’re there or me waiting on you while you are  working  long shifts at the blood bank. What ever our future brings I am always going to be with my love and that is you, my one and only Cel.

* * *

my life has been nothing but a love song since I have you in my life. From the very start when we were just friends and then a couple and now man and wife. I know there is God as he has given me the greatest gift a man can receive on this Earth.  I will protect our love with my life as I will never have a day that I won’t respect  and cherish our love and hold it true.People who write love songs is for people like me who want to express my love but I am not as good at words as the songwriters. All I know is that, I feel and breath the words of love for you and  when I hear those favored love songs, I will always feel my love for you deep with in to my very being.  So every breath I take and every move I make in this life will be to love and respect my beautiful wife, I pledge my heart and all my love to you my beloved beautiful book worm.

* * *

Out of everything I have done in my lifetime, having you as my wife is the greatest achievement of all. When we first met, I was already in love at first sight but never dreamed that my dream would come true and you would have me as much as I wanted you. The day I put that ring on your finger was the greatest day of my life. That is why I kept tearing up at the dinner after the wedding. I knew my life was changing for the better. I finally have the life full of love and the most beautiful wife in the world.

* * * 

I was just existing and life was all just black and white and no happy colors in me. You have added an explosion of colors to my dull and boring life and now I can see the years ahead as nothing but a great love with my great family. To have a chance to have such a wonderful life with such a beautiful woman as you are is more than a man can ever ask for….

* * *

There has to be a God as he has blessed me with a beautiful Pinoy family. A family that loves me as much as I love you all. Life is like a book and its full of chapters being written with each and every year that goes by. And out of all the chapters in my book of life the best chapters started when I met you Cel and the book will end up being one of the greatest love story ever so written. It will have tests and difficulties  that life will throw at us but our love for one another will always prevail. We will always to be together forever as husband and wife and family. I Love You Mrs. Woods!

I LOVE YOU Mer!

With all my heart and soul..

I miss you all the time and

I wish we’re together today and always!

Happy Valentines Day my Love!

 

   

Happy Birthday Mama!

she was brought to this world with a promise of life ahead

and so she begins to take the steps

every time she sets her foot in a path

you’re the guiding strength that gives her a hand

for her every start that  looks so dark

you’re an unending light at every spark

for all the questions in her mind

your answers are always one of a kind

your words tells her the reason why

that in the sky full of life she needs to fly

when she is weak with all the pain

you cried with her under the rain

in a journey that never ends  in a mile

you’re on her side to make her smile

looking up to you as she is getting older

because she know what it takes to be the best mother!

Happy Birthday Mama!

I Love You so much!

Motherhood

 

I know it is not Mother’s Day yet but for every mother on earth everyday is a mother’s day. My husband tells me every time how he appreciates me for what I am doing. For giving up some things important to me personally and making a choice to become a stay-at-home-mom. He knows that it took me some time to get over the idea of  pausing my life as a Med-Tech and to replace my lab coat with an apron. This blog has been my outlet for everything and anything my mind is allowed to dwell on. I am perfectly convinced that being a mother is one of the things I am not good at. With the kids being the way they are, my husband always praise me and tells me I am doing fine. Last night, I was telling him how other moms make motherhood looks easy as turning the light switch on and off and he replied by telling me this:

“It is not easy, it is the hardest, most underpaid job on Earth. Anyone who signed up for this job is crazy!!!!”

I sarcastically replied back with “so you think I am crazy!”

“NO, what I mean is, the reason why MEN aren’t called mothers because being a husband is like another child for mothers to raise…that is why it is crazy”

I still don’t get the logic of it but it sure made me smile. "Whatever!” and “Of course!” were always my reply when I can’t support an argument or conversations that I know would contribute to stress.

Thinking about what he said, I went searching for quotes and I will offer this to all the moms in the world!

In relation with what my husband said… this one surely made sense!! Yeah right! Moms are smarter!

 

Of course! That is why moms are smarter!

Super Mom…. more like having super powers!

That is what the word  “WHATEVER!” is for! Right?!

Could be the reason why mothers make a good call center agent! the talent and ability for the job comes out naturally.

Mothers are not just home builders…. body builders too!

Of course! What are we called stay-at-home-mom for if we are not in the house?

No wonder it is the hardest, most underpaid job ever!

 

According to Morrie Schwatz “There is no experience like having children.There is no substitute for it, you can’t do it with a friend, you can’t do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children”

So to mothers like me out there, no words……..…….can express.

Lessons in Life (a repost)

SOME RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE:
1. Money cannot buy happiness but its more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they’re in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because its illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk.
Re-Post if you agree.

SAD but TRUE

 

While I was checking notification updates and emails this morning , I came across a good friend of mine’s Facebook Wall. She posted this:

Before Marriage – - -

BF: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.
GF: Do you want me to leave?
BF: NO! Don’t even think about it.
GF: Do you love me?
BF: Of course! Over and over!
GF: Have you ever cheated on me?
BF: NO! Why are you even asking?
GF: Will you kiss me?
BF: Every chance I get!
GF: Will you hit me?
BF: Are you crazy! I’m not that kind of person!
GF: Can I trust you?
BF: Yes.
GF: Darling!

BUT

After marriage – - – simply read from bottom to top.

So sad but TRUE. It is simply going on for somebody else. Might be a friend, a colleague , a neighbor , your room mate or your sister or brother.

Somebody meant for you is out there. Your paths will cross in time. Everyone deserves to be happy . Everyone deserves to love and to be loved!
