Hmmmm... This is my first time to post in a blog. And I want it to be extraordinary! (of course!) So, I wanna dedicate first post to my loving wife. Yes, to her! because she inspires me to do this and I can't help but to share this letter she made. I was really overwhelmed about that letter. It was a summary of our 9 years relationship of being girlfriend and boyfriend. It was amazing. Very detailed and worth reminiscing. I was really impressed and felt proud as our love story was read and heard by everybody during the day of our wedding, 2 years ago! That was her surprise for me. Indeed those 9 years were worth to remember. It's nice to fall in love all over and over again. Now, allow me to share that letter with you... That surprise letter goes this way...

Dear Bhayby…
Happy 9th
ANNIVERSARY!!! Happy NINE YEARS of being together!
If I have to make our
love story it would be so easy for it’s my heart writing… We proved against all
odds. Short courtship turned into long years of engagement and soon will end up
into FOREVER… And the secret of them all, God’s…
It started out with
our friends, when we were in high school a classmate(you know who?) sent me your regards but that’s all I can remember
because that time I was not yet interested about you(frank?) even getting you
as my date for our third year JS prom(more frank?). And that’s it… Oh one
thing, that birthday celebration when we were in the same party, unluckily you
were with someone else. That’s all… Years passed… It was in our college years,
summer of first year in college, when someone texted me and introduced his
name. And that is you… Mmmm where did you get my # by the way? (The power of
cellphone technology took a big part). My 18th birthday came and you
were one of my 18 roses. We dance to the sweet music of ALL MY LIFE- became one
of my “kilig” love songs. Everything was still so vivid for me to recall. We
first became text pals and friends, hhmm what else? Yes, phone pals! Long hours
of talking with each other in the phone, hanging for so long in the phone if I
have a customer to attend to because I was also the working as assistant of our
pharmacy. Our ears were burning in heat. What time? It is dawn… primarily
because no boys are allowed yet. It is also at dawn (lumalabas ang pagka
Chinese manliligaw) when you are visiting me while still working alone at our
pharmacy, you were suffering in staying outside our pharmacy at dawn to sunrise…
I know one of your secrets, your drunk! (Aren’t you?)In defense you said
“pampalakas loob”… Whatever it is I appreciated it and it means a lot to me.
That 12th
day of June (612), 2001, Independence Day (Dependence day to me), at almost 3am
when you finally asked me if you had a chance to get my sweet yes! But that
time though I was still hesitant, with your powerful words that went this way,
“Just say yes or no, if you say NO, I will not bother you anymore nor will I have communication with you” a big bang to
my ears and threatened me in ways I can’t explain. Yes, I was threatened and
afraid of losing you, so I finally say YES! With tears and tension I finally
said yes…
That’s the only time
you got inside our pharmacy, you hugged me tight and carry me in your loving
arms… I saw the joy in your eyes made me believed it was a right decision...
Those sweet moments were still fresh in my memory…
Innocent as I am in a
relationship I thank you for taking good care of me and extending your patience
with me…Relationship is not only full of sweet nothings and joys. It
accompanies responsibility, sorrows and headaches too but what’s the best thing
about it, it’s the MAGIC OF LOVE, what love can bring to both of us. The love,
respect and understanding, own willingness and decision to continue loving each
other. True love is not a feeling, ‘coz feelings do fade, not my love…
First
year…
Love
is in the air…Everything is new and first time for me…first to have a formal
date, first to have a valentine date, first to have special someone on my
Birthday, Christmas and New Year to
spend to. First time to have jealous with, someone I can confide with my
problems. Getting to know each other and truly accepting each other and
starting to build trusts with each other… You had introduced me with your
family and I was so happy knowing them and being so kind to me.
Everything
went well. We are in one school we almost see each other together and do things
together. But I remembered one month of breaking up with you in the second
semester. But still we went out watch movie for the first time. We managed to
get back together again and decide to balance things…
Second
Year…
Second
year of relationship, we became stronger through the stones we passed along the
way. This time we managed to have a long distance relationship. It was the
trust that is build. I remembered of a fight came out when someone (until to
this time you don’t wanna let me know) said I went to a bar but that proved to
be a big mistake because it was not me. That was the first time I saw you
really angry but we surpassed it and trust is more build.
You
gave me a ring and I gave you one. These silver Rings are still on our fingers
up to this time and made a symbol of lasting love and bond...
Third
Year…
Third
year, time to think over future plans. You are one of the reasons I graduated
with flying color and inspired me to pass the board exam. Challenged of being
away together for more than a month, had made us more trustful to each other.
Quarrels spiced up also our relationship. Support, care and understanding still
should prevail. Truly it’s not how good you are together during good days but
it is on how you two handle your anger to each other during fights and
misunderstandings.
Fourth
year…
We
became more intimate with each other and our world expanded with each other’s
family. I had formally introduced you to my family. We are seen together most
often at each other’s family affairs. Acceptance in one’s family had taken a
big part. For me, to sustain a
relationship there must be support and acceptance from each other’s family. We
were grateful to have.
Fifth
year
Time
to be stronger and go with the flow of life of being together. Growing mature
together and thinking things in more mature ways and setting priorities in
life.
At
this year you finally graduated from college which you made me and your family
so proud of you. God continued to bless you with a job that fit you.
This
is my turning point too, when I embraced deep faith with God. Knowing God and to have a deeper
relationship with Him is the best gift u gave me. I had seen you growing and
living with fear in God and that is so important to me and made me loving you
more. God will be the center of our relationship forever.
Sixth
Year
6th
year was a blossom year for our career. Despite busy schedule for each other’s
work we managed to be still both busy with each other. We support each others
career. I’m happy that I saw a responsible and career oriented man at my side.
You never fail to fetch me from work and drove me home, be there when I need
your help and support in terms of our business and work. The time when I am
badly sick you were there and took good care of me.
Seventh
Year
Seventh
year, problems arouse within ourselves, in our relationship and within our
family but we continue to support each other and each other’s family. Many
tears had fallen in our face but love had taken them out. Crucial time came, to
think over whether to settle down and set new priorities in life of having our
family of our own while our loved ones and dear parent are still alive and set
aside ambitions in life.
In
this year, what’s the best thing was that we had purchased a lot where we can
build not just a house but a HOME. A thing we can be proud of.
Eighth
Year
On
our 8th year, this year is most precious, for you had proposed in a
unique way and again Chinese way “madaling araw” of June 12, 2008. Bringing a
ring with sincere tone in a beautiful and solemn dawn, of course a big YES came
out in my mouth with tears falling in my face... Amidst the happiness of
feeling engaged a sudden tragedy happened when a special person in your life,
Tito Berting died. He had been a father to me, and I will treasure forever this
engagement ring in my finger which u said Tito gave a counter part on it. But
life has to go on.
“Pamamanhikan”
happened last Dec 21, 2009 with tension u finally ask my hand from my mother.
From then on we enjoy each others company in preparing for our big day.
Finally
the big wed day has come!! This day 0612- on our ninth anniversary… I really
can’t still believed you are mine forever and I am yours forever...Thank you
for the selfless love and care…priceless understanding and patience. Almost
everybody may think you are lucky you had me but I want them to know that I am
more blessed you came into my life. And now, as we journey on our new phase of
life…I promise to love you most and forever will be… I will fulfill our vows.
From a love that came from God everything follows. They say marriage, being a
wife and a mother is really a profession one can’t learn in school, but with
you I know I can be… Because I know you can be the best husband a wife can have
and a father child can have…And God as the center of our family nothing can go
wrong…Love you much bhayby… My first… My
only… My last… BHAYBY…Now my loving husband…
Love,
Abeng
Tears still keep on falling and my heart still beats faster everytime I read our love story. I am honored to be my wife's FIRST...ONLY... AND LAST boyfriend... Thank you my dear ex-girlfriend, and now my WIFE! At present, God gave us a precious gem - a cheerful and babbling 9month old son!... Another chapter of my life, as a family man and as a father.
