There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. ~ by George Sand ~
Each year has its highs and lows but there is always that ONE event that serves as the year’s highlight. I thought that for year 2010 it was the breakup. It was so devastating but at the same time redeeming. I believe that it taught me to be wiser and stronger and I realized what I really wanted in a man and in a relationship.
I wasn’t really looking for love at that time. Yes, I dated but I never expected anything. I just wanted to enjoy and have fun. But then Ian came. We were introduced by common friends, haha :) Looking back on how things happened, it’s crazy!!! I didn’t even know then that it was the start of a happy, crazy, and beautiful life with him. He was definitely my highlight!
I know I’m gushing so much right now but that’s just how it is when you’re in love, right? :)

Our relationship is far from perfect but what makes it work is that it doesn’t need much effort for us to click. Some say that it takes hard work to make a relationship work. I’m glad that having a cooperative, compromising and collaborative partner makes our relationship effortless. With him, I can be myself and be even appreciated for who and what I really am. I know there are days that I’m hard to deal with and it’s nice that he has a BIG heart that understands me so much.
We may be miles apart right now but that that doesn’t stop us from loving each other. I miss him everyday and is always looking forward of being with him again. Just being close to him (sitting beside him, holding his hand, him hugging me) can already make my day. It’s amazing how his simple gestures like an embrace can make me feel safe and loved. He treats me with respect and woo me anytime. A relationship should be a never ending courtship so that the spark will always be there. And that’s what we’re trying to do…always keeping that spark burning :)
When you’re in a relationship it is sometimes hard to balance your life especially between family/friends and your partner. Human as we are, we have a tendency to put aside our family/friends for our boyfriend. Ian and I make it a point to have a life outside of our relationship – spend quality time with family and friends, do good in work, enjoy hobbies and interests, and even have a “ME” time – that way we can still value our individuality and have so much more to talk about when we’re together.
We support each other’s endeavours, listen to each other’s silly jokes and crappy stories, be each other’s cheerleader, be there for each other anytime and everytime. It’s nice to have someone like Ian whom I can share my thoughts with and whom I can be with at the end of the day.
There are so many things I’ve said in previous blogs about the love of my life and there’s also so much more to write about him but no words are enough to express how grateful I am of having him in my life. We’ve done a lot of things and so many firsts together, went to six cities and so many lovely places together and gained few pounds from food tripping…and I’m so looking forward of creating many more memories with him. With Ian, I am HAPPY, CRAZILY IN LOVE, and OVERWHELMED. :)

Consider yourself lucky and blessed when you found someone who would make you believe again in something you have lost hope before.
When you found someone who you are comfortable being with and no need to pretend you’re someone else.
When you found someone whom you can go crazy with.
When you found someone who wouldn’t mind getting lost with you as long as you’re together.
When you found someone who would never want to change you and accepts you wholeheartedly for who & what you are.
When you found someone who would support your dreams and dream with you too.
When you found someone who would kiss and hug you when you’re feeling bad and down.
When you found someone who despite of your flaws would say that he loves everything about you & there’s nothing more he can ask for.
Hope you do. Coz I did <3

“True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This is what love is all about. It should be unconditional. I have not only learned this from Jesus but from my loved ones as well especially from my parents. They have given me so much love and care, provided me with a comfortable life, secured me with an education, and allowed me to live life the way I want it… yet they have asked nothing from me except to live happily and treat everyone with respect.
I have also experienced love through Ian. He taught me that when you love, you just show it without any expectations. It’s hard I know. But I realized that it is only when we set ourselves free and be genuine wherein we can feel pure joy.
I’m guilty sometimes of doing things because I’m expecting something in return. I do this because I expect that it will be done to me as well. I give this because I expect the same gesture. Yet, I get frustrated whenever things don’t go my way. Yes there are always limitations in everything but when we love unconditionally and do things sincerely for sure there are great rewards awaiting for us.

My boyfriend is an engineer by profession and I love his steady, chillax nature. I always get a warm feeling whenever we’re next to each other.
Twelve days of courtship and seventeen months in the relationship, I have grown to love him more. There are times though that I feel restless and tired. You see, I’m a very sentimental and emotional woman who yearns for him to be more romantic. He is not your usual chocolates-and-flowers-kind-of-guy and I desire for it. It was so shallow of me to think that true love is about being romantic. My boyfriend is beyond romantic. He is true love.
Never a day pass by without us talking and saying iLoveYou. He respects me and never puts me in a situation wherein my values will be put aside. He listens to my stories no matter how crappy they are. He always consider me before making a decision. He never fails to kiss me everytime we’re together. He would hold my hand when we walk and hugs me always especially when it’s cold. He would willingly help me everytime I’m in trouble. He compliments me whenever I’m wearing a new dress. He tells me I’m beautiful and hot. He patiently waits for me no matter how long he will wait. He is good to my family and friends. His smile brightens my day. He never forgets the special times in our relationship. He is a good and responsible man. He is game for anything and keeps up with my craziness. He takes good care of me. His simple, sweet surprises make my day.
We complement each other because we’re both crazy and delights in simple things. We may be two different people (he’s more of a “i-live-for today” and i’m “what’s tomorrow like”?) but we share the same hopes and values that keeps us together.
Who says true love is all about grandeur? Just having him by my side is already enough for me to believe in true love.

107 kms., 8 cities, and two hours apart… yet even distance can’t stop us. it’s not even a hindrance. it’s just making us stronger… but it doesn’t stop me from missing you everyday…
i miss our date nights. i miss being with you after work. i miss having my dinner with you. i miss your txts saying that you’re already outside the bank or my bhauz waiting. i miss hanging out with you, walking with you in the streets of Ormoc, chilling in Bebida’s, food trip in a carenderia or bbq plaza or somewhere fancy, jogging in Ospa…
more than anything else, it’s YOU that i really miss the most… your presence, your smile, your laugh, your warm hugs and kisses =) … our conversations… everything!!!
i can’t wait to spend time with you again…

16 months and counting. how i wish i had met you sooner. but then, things happen for a reason. i guess that 08/14/10 is our right time. you were the rainbow after my storm.
there are so many things i love about you, about us. there are also times that i know our patience and love is being tested. yet our commitment to each other prevails.
so many stories to be told about us. some i really wanted to share (hahaha…) some better left remembered between the two of us :)
we’ve gone through a lot of places already (luzon and mindanao naman sunod or better yet outside the country), eaten a lot foods (that turned into a belly as what you said), done some normal and crazy stuffs (harhar..), get on each other’s nerves at times (grrrrr….), text and/or call each other everyday (SMART should really thank us for being loyal to them), share stories about anything and everything, laugh our hearts out, etc… (more to come soooon!!!)
thank you langga for being a part of my story!!! being with you is so effortless and such a joy :) i know we still have more stories to be shared and experienced.. :)

With you i feel so free. It feels liberating being with you ‘coz i can be myself. I can be stupid. I can laugh the way i want to. I can dress anyway i like. I can cry myself out. I can say anything and share my deepest thoughts to you. We both love to talk - about people, politics, places, movies, gossips, foods, anything…as in everything..hehe..
It’s a blessing to have you.
