I Think I Wanna Marry You... Again!


Before my husband and I tied the knots (on each other's neck...kidding!), I asked him why do people marry, when I meant to ask, why he wanted to marry me. Needless to say, I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear because I didn't ask the right question.  So I asked him again, after 2 years of being married. and here's what he said... ;)

12 reasons why I married you: 
  1. I love you 
  2. you bring out the new me 
  3. you make life so easy
  4. cant live without you 
  5. "be the mom of my first baby" 
  6. I already knew that you are going to be my wife the 1st time I saw you.=D 
  7. you look like "Geneva Cruz" and you became my "thrasher baby," my "worst enemy," my best friend, my lover, my girlfriend, my teacher .ehem. 
  8. you were 'easy to get' and I like it..hahaha.. but you have your own reason. soobrang bumilib ako sa about courtship na sinabe mo "hindi titigil ang courtship kahit magasawa na tau" 
  9. 1st time ko nga agkaryo to ask for your number, gumawa ng way to get your number, to ask you out, and ask you to be my girlfriend kahit sooobrang nanginginig na ko and I need my investment back..lol 
  10. I believe in shooting stars 
  11. you believe in me 
  12. you taught me how to love you again and again and again with no end. "I'll never go far away from you."
Sometimes we need to ask the right questions to get the right answers. So I finally got the answers I wanted, and more. 2 years late, but like what they say, "Better late than never."

The mom of your first baby. And future second baby. AND all your babies. 

PS.
I'm still quite doubtful about number 3. ;)

Alien No More

Nov. 28, 2009. 8:22 AM

This is my all-time favorite picture of my Roand. Taken 9 hours after he was born. See how he doesn't look like an alien now? He looks so...soft, so handsome, so innocent. He smelled of the freshest most innocent sweet scent that I wish I could keep in a bottle. I would stare at him then and smell him and stare at him. And fall in love with him. I didn't want to kiss him yet then, or carry him. I just wanted to stare at him. He looked so peaceful that I was scared I'd disturb that. He looked so peaceful I almost forgot the pain I went through in bringing him out to this world. And so I just watched him. And as I did, I felt all sorts of emotions that I can't explain. I felt overwhelmed with love and happiness, at the same time I was sad that his father couldn't see what I was seeing then. I felt scared. I suddenly felt unsure. I felt worried. Of what? I wasn't sure. But looking at him, something seemed to wash away all my worries and questions. Then I was left with feelings of extreme happiness, pride and love.

That day, I felt I was born too. I felt anew. I felt I was given a second chance to make things right. This  tiny new life gave me a new one back.
