Meet Mr. and Mrs. Saldua - Couple's Corner #1

I just started my blog a few weeks ago and I was so happy that I found a very nice community in this blogging life. It's my second meme (first was Mommy Moments) and I just love doing them. Thanks Mommy Liz for this and now I have something to look forward to every Wednesday. Come and join us too.

I'm May Ann Cherie "AC" Agbayani-Saldua. The eldest in my family, eldest daughter, eldest cousin, eldest niece and eldest grandchild. I am an illegitimate child (as how they call a child with unwed parents, then), but most loved by everyone. I'm a certified Lola's girl, Auntie's girl, Uncle's girl, and Papa's girl. My parents separated just before I entered grade 1, but that didn't hinder me from growing up as a good girl and that I owe to all the parents who stand by me up to this very moment and I know will always be there for the rest of my life. My grandmother, dad, uncles and aunts did a great job in raising me up. I don't have a good relationship with my biological mum since 2002 (if I remembered it right) and with her relatives because of some serious family problems. However, I believe that instance contributed in my being a good mother and wife at present. Both mum and dad were from Pangil, Laguna and I grew up and spent most of my childhood there.

Enough with the seriousness.. LOL Now, let me tell you something about who I am. I'm a person who is very weak in decision making. I am always in need of other's assurance on almost anything and that hasn't changed until now. I simply don't believe in my own taste. I am a very simple woman who rarely buys anything for myself. Most of what I use are from my aunts and I'm loving them to pieces! LOL I am a woman who lives with 3 pairs of shoes - rubber, peep-toed and boots for winter, wears year-old clothes (the oldest I'm still wearing is a shorts I had when I was grade 4 - woooaaah!!! it's that old, right?) and feels guilty even of thinking of buying anything for myself. I don't complain though, it's just that I'm satisfied with what I already have. I am what they call "kuripot to the bones" ;) My family said I am now able to live simply because I already had everything I wanted when I was young and that I was brought up to just live with what I have. Hubby must be really thankful for that! ;)

Now, let's jump to my husband's life. I am married to a man named Mark Saldua. He's also the eldest among 6 siblings. If I am a favorite in the family, he's no different. He's well loved mostly by all. He's a Masbateno and very proud of it. He was a seminarian back in high school and a really great achiever (wish Alyssa gets that trait). He excels in his studies and continues to excel in his chosen career. He always gives 101% in anything he does. A natural-boned leader then and a magnificent head of the family now. He is the laziest man I know, but still manages to complete all his tasks - I wonder really how he can do that LOL. I am but just one fan and supporter of this brilliant man. He never shouts and never mad. He cries and that for me makes him a real man. He just loves me just the way I wanted to be loved. And I love bragging anything about him 'cause he's worth bragging about. He's the man I chose to spend the rest of my life with and I thank God for giving him to me.

That's us.
