Happy 4th Year Anniversary to Me & My Hubby

Today is our 4th year wedding anniversary. We didn't prepare for any celebration today because we are some kinda busy with our little baby JEL. Yes, I already gave birth. I haven't blog about it yet because I am still overwhelmed with my new responsibilities and duties.

Anyway, the couple shirt on the side is my gift to my hubby which I bought from onlinefab. We plan to wear this tomorrow. Hubby will be taking a half day off tomorrow for a us to have a late little celebration although today, he told me that he'll be bringing some foods for our dinner.




Btw, the greatest gift the we have for our anniversary is our little JEL. We wish that our love will grow stronger each day and we'll become good parents to JEL.

RECAP: 122008 7th BF/GF Anni & Gimik with Friends from Australia

Last December 20 was our 7th anniversary as BF/GF but instead of having a date, we celebrated it with Ariel's College Buddies.

We started the day in Rockwell Tent, we just bought some stuffs for friends and for Christmas gifts. We had lunch in Jollibee. Then moved to Glorietta 1 to pick up some items from Matus. Our date with Ariel's friends was late in the afternoon. While waiting for them, we windowed shop and took some rest in Food Choices. Hubby had his Banana Split while I had my sugar free Cheesecake.

His friends started to arrive at 3pm. Ariel and his wife came 1st, then Peter and Marose. We waited for Wilson and Hannah ( who visited the Philippines after migrating to Australia last June'07) in Greenbelt 3. We had our pm snacks in Cafe Breton. It was a very good bonding moment.

After some time, we went back to Glorietta1 to have dinner in Dencio's. Everybody had a good time.

It was a very nice day. Looking forward to our next meeting!

Flowers and Chocolates

Last Sunday, we went to ATC to claim my phone and our printer from Nokia and Compuserve. We're there at around 10:30am. I asked hubby to get 1st the printer while I'm waiting for my number to be served. After claiming, he brought it to our car and when he got back to NOKIA, he gave me a long stem pink rose. It was so sweet of him.

That time, the counter is still serving #101. I just asked him to buy the Palmer's lotion from Personal Care. To my surprise again, when he got back, he was bringing me my favorite chocolate. I was so happy. It removed all my irritations with all the waiting time I am having in NOKIA.

I really love my husband for being sweet. Btw, he gave me all of this in celebration of our BF/GF and Wedding monthsary which falls on 20 and 19 respectively.

38th Month

Today is our 38th Monthsary as hubby and wifey and we celebrated it over a Wendy's Bacon Cheeseburger Meal. We also took home a Dulce de Leche Cake for dessert.

We are still celebrating our monthsary everytime. Sometimes we eat out. Sometimes we go malling. And sometimes we just cuddle at home. But no matter how we celebrate it, we enjoy every bits and pieces of it.

Anniversary Gifts

I was able to blog on the place where we spent our 3rd year anniversary. However, I was not able to write about our simple exhange of gifts.

Our Anni fall on a Holy Wednesday. Months before our anniversary, we already planned of having a day off. However, we only planned of having 1 more day-off before that day, a week before that.

Holy week started with Palm Sunday. We're so bz with a lot of things. Monday, we went to office to finish some stuffs before we take our vacation. Tuesday... was supposed to be a rest and prep day for our trip. However, hubby had some urgent stuffs that needs to be done. He took a half day off instead.

I was supposed to buy a gift in the morning while he's in the office, but I was not feeling well. When hubby came home @ passed 1pm, we took our lunch together and headed to ATC. We just bought some stuffs that we will be needing in our trip. We had pm snaks in BK and decided to go separate ways to buy gifts for each other. Hehehe. Then we met @ 5pm. All the things we bought was kept secret until we got home.

At home... he was so excited that he started giving me his gifts even it's not yet our anniversary.
- 1st, were the books that he bought for the two of us.
" Husband after Gods own plan" & " Wife after Gods own Plan" by Jim and Elizabeth George.
- 2nd was the Bench leather watch that I saw the last time we went to ATC. I didn't buy it because the moneysmart in me strikes again.
- 3rd was the Paper Bag from Gems & Jewel. It contained a silver earring. Waah. He looked at my reaction and then gave me the earring that I saw a week ago. I loved it the 1st time I saw it but because of my being money smart, i didn't buy it.

I was so overwhelmed with all those gift that I felt ashame with my gift for him. I handed him my simple leather watch gift. I felt happy with hubby's reaction. He truly appreciates all the things that I gave him.

I was so lucky having him. He don't smoke, drinks rarely but never get drunk and not materialistic. He is just fond of eating. He likes to eat and try different foods. Hehehe. No wonder... that both of us are gaining weight.Obvious ba?
