dolce vita. everyday is a sweet day.
Stop for a moment and ponder the blessings the Lord has given you this year. Surely, there were changes and challenges too, but let’s focus on the blessings.
Sometimes God changes things to bring greater blessings. Is there something that was challenging in your life this year that has brought blessings?

[Posted while waiting for my hourly blood exrraction at Makati Med] Everything is much more bearable and easier because of this guy. Thank you Hubby for doing all these things for me. 🙂 May God always protect you and your loving heart<3
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Hubby got me a cake and a red rose for my birthday 😍😍😍🎂🍰🍫🍻
Another blessing to have attended this Couple’s Getaway, and just get in touch with each other and with God’s love!
I know God’s promise to us will hold throughout our marriage–only through God and for God <3

Shirakawa Hope River
Kyoto, Japan
Until now, it is said that Kyoto’s waters are very clean, it is clean enough to drink. That’s why life stays here: water birds, healthy fishes, green grasses and plants on its sides.
And in one of Kyoto’s rivers is where God chose to give His precious gift for us. And it was as if the waters echoed Jaycee’s intentions, and the proposal is audible and as clear the waters in front of me. It was as if a breathe of new life was given to us right there.
And while the world seemed to have kept still and only the running waters kept flowing, I said yes. 🙂
We posted this in our wedding blog site a year ago, after Jaycee proposed to me. I’m still amazed how God has planned everything. Until now, I’m still in awe whenever I look at my husband. For many girls this may be a dream came true, but for me it’s more of God’s love manifested through Jaycee. And it’s just nicely overwhelming <3
I take pictures, I love cats, I coordinate weddings, I coordinate infrastructure projects, I write/blog, I am very fond of Coke, I want Jollibee spaghetti as ulam sa kanin, I’ve analyzed systems, I’ve been teaching kids for volunteer work since college, I bike, I’ve tried badminton, surfing, yoga, and a lot more!
My life has been blessed ever since I’ve known it, and there’s nothing I can do to thank God but to bring back the glory to Him through the people around me. 🙂
Here’s more of me – http://lifeoutofoffice.com/ (my personal blog)
This ‘Smart’ story began when after few years of being deadma-hi-hello-officemates, the Author of all love stories started working on ours 🙂 #GodMovesInMysteriousWays
I didn’t know how it started but I know that we met in the office and get to know each other more in fun run events.
I formally expressed my feelings verbally on September 16, 2010 at Red Mango Greenbelt 3, a day after my birthday. It started with a dinner at John and Yoko (Japanese restaurant) but since the mood of the environment wasn’t that good, I decided that we transfer to Red Mango for dessert.
I received a response from her later on, and then there came “fluffles” and “baby”.
My world changed knowing her and being my girlfriend.
As a forever blogger-at-heart, I’ve posted this in my blog when he became my official boyfriend. I am blessed with Jaycee’s life from that day, to now, to forever.
Below is the unedited version of our beginning, from my perspective.
************
it just happened when i least expected it. i didn’t saw it coming. it was not love at first sight–because we’ve been together in the office for years already. i only knew him as someone from Data Team, just a somebody from our department.
it was not an extraordinary, knock-me-right-off-my-feet story–seemingly super normal that i wasn’t even able to post anything about it in my blog! 🙂 started with hi’s and hello’s, and food trips with common friends, and running together after office, and spending afternoons after marathon together. and then he figured it out, and i figured it out (don’t even know which came first, hehe).
one night, i decided to finally allow myself to be happy (and/or sad!). so i told him, yes, kami na (after almost an hour of my questioning regarding his intentions, wehehe).
kala ko dati, hindi na mangyayari na makita ko pa ang hinahanap kong someone.
and so i stopped searching, and that was then i was found 😀
maybe i was just being prepared kaya it took a little while before we saw each other. all the while, jan lang pala sya sa tabi ng cube ko 🙂 God knows what He is doing, isn’t it?
super blessed because God gave me a Hubby this loving and caring. #FirstTriChallenge
Thank God for 9th week of our baby.
