I remembered, I just made my CC entry about Our Favorite Place and now, it's CC time again? Days are passing by very quickly that I can't even finish my to-do list in a day. =) Oh golly! I know now why... I was too late for the previous topic and instead of posting it Wednesday, I posted it Sunday... No wonder why I'm now writing about CC again... hahaha!!! Silly me!

This sweek's topic is about watching movies together. Well, as far as I can remember, he got my resounding YES while we were watching a movie. =) For about 2 years before we said our vows, movie house is one of our favorite places since it's a place where we can just be in each other's arms. I can still remember one day in November 2003 when we stayed in the movie house ALL DAY and didn't understand even a single scene. LOL! Right after our organisation's (JPIA) bar party, we didn't go home and went straight to the movie house and there we slept. hahaha!!!

When Alyssa was born, we still go to movie house once in a while since there's someone who can watch over her while we go on a date. But these days, we just watch movies at the comfort of our sofa or bed. LOL! Hubby likes romantic movies too, but not too much unlike the ones pertaining to politics or war. He will watch Pinoy romantic movies with me, but only when we're at home. He is not so into Pinoy films as much as I'm not into foreign films. LOL But he enjoys Pinoy comedies (yeah! the corniest ever of Dolphy, Vic Sotto and the side kicks!) hahaha... He likes having a good laugh.

It's very rare that we watch movies alone. When he likes something, I should be there and watch with him because it's been tried and tested that as soon as the movie ends, I'll say... "hhmm... it's nice huh!" and so when I want to watch something (of course a Pinoy movie) he also needs to watch with me, fair enough right?

And our position? Oh, we never watch any movie without cuddling. No matter what movie it is, we should be hugging each other. Most of the time we sit, but other times we lye down and squash each other on the sofa, his arms wrapping around me and my head resting on his chest. =) *sweet*

How I wish I can share a picture of us while watching movies... But I guess this one counts. It's in Realto in Enchanted Kingdom, not a movie house, but it resembles none the less. =)

Another entry for Mommy Liz's Couple's Corner which once again flashes back kilig moments from the past... =)

Dear Ate Liz,

I think this is the best time for me to let you know how thankful I am that our paths crossed even just here in blogosphere, but hopefully we can also meet in person, soon. I want you to know that all your comments and opinions are the most precious because I know they all come from the heart. You're so beautiful inside and out. You've got sparkling personality that I at once felt comfortable conversing and confiding with.

Thanks Ate Liz for all the time and effort you've given me. I hope someday, somehow, I can give back the favor.

Enjoy your special day and I wish and pray that may all your dreams be granted as to how you imagine it or even better. God Bless you and your super lovely and sweet family.

I love you ate Liz!!! And as always... YOU ROCK!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Lots of love,

                                                                                                                      AC

For couples, it's common to have sweet and unique gestures. Sometime's it's a language only them can understand. Showing sweet gestures of the other half is a sense of comfort to the other. It can be visible to the public, but to most, these sweet gestures are best when done in private.

Personally, I like both public and private sweet gestures. But I believe, sweet gestures in private are the most intimate and meaningful. I've known some who's been very sweet, but it's only a way of "show-off" and the partners tend to change colours when others are not around, if you know what I mean. 

Well, in our case, we show sweet gestures both in public and private. When we're in public, we know that people like seeing us that way. Deep inside of me, I feel proud not because other people are commenting on it, but because I know for myself that even though we've been married for almost 5 years already, we are still able to keep the love in our relationship burning. If there's an audience who we want to witness those sweet gestures of ours, it would be our kid/s. They'll surely be the proudest of us. 

But those public sweet gestures are only a little of what we can show when it's only the two of us or when we're at home. 

To give you an idea of the sweet gestures that we exchange to each other, read on...

• When we're walking, most of the time, we do HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking).
• When we're sitting in a train, car, sofa, airplane, etc., we do HHWS (Holding Hands While Sitting)
• When hubby's having breakfast (I don't, but I join him on the table), he'll request for a hug. I'll go and hug him from behind.
• When I wash the dishes, he'll hug and kiss me. (Yeah... It's disturbing! But I love it! LOL)
• We will just hug tight when we are both standing at the kitchen.
• When I ask for a kiss, he will grant it. Then I ask again and bring my tongue out so it touches his lips (he hates it! LOL). When I ask for another, I will then have to use force to get it... =)
• I rarely give him massage, it's not sweet for me... LOL! It's tiring!!!
• He carries all the heavy bags when we do the grocery. (That's sweet, right?)
• I just say I love you with a kiss and he does the same, that happens any time. 
• He brings my drink inside the room when I don't feel like standing up. (Yeah... Lazy me!!!)

And there's a lot lot more!!! Reading back, I just realised, hubby's sweeter than me, huh? =)

Come and join us again for this week's Couple's Corner.

Yeah!!! It's his last year on the 20s roll and he isn't liking it! wahahaha!!!

Of course, the little girl is Dad's helper in candle blowing...

Friends came over to celebrate with us and it was much fun... as always...

(The boys are happy to have bought San Miguel Beer... They missed it! LOL)

Here's our menu... I managed to cook everything... except the cake! =)

Once again, Happy Happy Birthday My One and Only LOVE...

 I love you soooooo much, Dad!!! 

This is my share for this week's PBW. Join us... Click the badge!!!

This week's theme in Couple's Corner is about "Sacrifices for Loved Ones". I'll try my very best not to get too emotional about his post. =) *hope so*

Oh well, I believe sacrifices are my best friends since birth. LOL... I think I have sacrificed sooooooo much!!! as in SOOOOO MUCH!!! for my family (I'm talking about my being a daughter). I have to sacrifice not having a whole and happy family for the sake of my parents. I don't think they ever tried so hard to keep our family whole and happy. They just wanted to enjoy their lives (oh, that I know is true and they can't contest!). Being a mom and wife now, I know for myself that this responsibility has been given to me by God and I can't just let any circumstance break it up. I just hope my parents handled their responsibilities better then, but of course, everything happened for a good reason. But looking back, I just can't help but feel the pain on everything I've been through (dark childhood indeed) because I don't have my biological mom to guide me, but I was blessed by having all the love of my father, lola, aunts and uncles. 

Let's jump to my family now. I had my family even before I earn my degree, so I guess I'm lucky that I don't have a career to sacrifice. The only thing I have now is my degree which others would think is now going to waste, but is actually not. God has been so good that he opened new opportunities for me where I can use it and earn while still being a full-time mom and wife. 

Looking back and comparing all my sacrifices then and now, I believe what it did was to mold me and get me ready to who I should be now. I won't be where I am and I won't have what I have now if not for everything that had happened to me. All I can say now is "THANK YOU, LORD" because He blessed me with a very wonderful family that I can call "My Own". I may not have it before, but I already have it now. Though it's painful to think of the past, it's always much joy to think of the present and the future and I guess, that's how we learn.

I think my post is outside the couple's sacrifices part, but we haven't sacrificed so much for the sake of both of us aside from hubby being away from us for about 6 months so I can finish my studies and he can have a better career here. But since we were able to live together again after that, I guess it erases the fact that for once in our lives we actually lived a million miles away.

All right... This week's theme is very easy... Sexiest part of my body??? Well.. SIMPLE...

 WHOLE!!! WHOLE BODY!!

 wahahaha!!! JOKE TIME!!!

Oh, I always thought my legs are like pata-tim... but every time I see pictures of it, I say... "WOW!" hahaha!!!

I have nothing more to say... As Mommy Niko said... show!!!

Girls Talk is really FUN!!! Hop on, GIRLS!!!

Image the 4 of us (Mark, AC, Alyssa and Winnie the Pooh Bear) in bed, respectively - all in "spoon" position, but legs are always intertwining with each other - except Pooh's. That's basically how we really sleep. We're all facing right because Alyssa can't sleep without an arm wrapped around her and she really wakes up just to say, "hug". So Dad has no choice but to face right as well so he can hug me. When Alyssa's asleep as she sleeps first most of the time, it's Daddy's turn to be hugged - either in spoon position or my head under his arm, but again, the legs... LOL And all throughout the night, I am being squashed by the two and can barely move. =)

Before, I have this mannerism of scratching my feet in mosquito net... LOL! When at home, watching TV, reading, playing and most specially sleeping, my mosquito net (full or small portion) must be placed on my feet because without it, I can't really stay put. I had this mannerism since childhood and only got rid of it when we arrived here in London which was only last April 2008. =) And I don't know how it happened. I still brought it here, actually 2 small pieces, but instantly my feet were not looking for it anymore. So YES! Hubby was able to sleep with me for about 5 years with that little mosquito net. My Lola failed to stop me from that mannerism, so when I was in college, she was the one who's cutting the mosquito net for me and even sewing it on a small pillow so I can bring it anywhere I go. Oh, how I miss my Lola... =( I always keep in mind what she said to me before - never be used to sleeping with the kid in the middle, always make sure that when you sleep, you and Mark should always be beside each other because not being used to it will soon draw you away from each other. And yes, Alyssa sleeps either on my side or on Mark's side, she has to choose.

When it comes to snoring, hubby and Alyssa said I don't snore, so good for them! LOL... On the other hand, hubbster snores a little and not really loud. And because he doesn't believe that he now (yes, not before) snores, just last month Alyssa and I recorded it and we all burst into laughter the next morning. hahaha!!! Hubby asked about more than 5x, "Mum, totoo? Ako nga yun?" and laugh again...

So far, we don't have disturbing habits in bed. How about you? Do have some interesting bedtime habits? Come and share them with us on Mommy Liz's Couples Corner. Hit the badge!

Oh crap! I really failed to join last week. I think I'm in the outer space last Thursday??? Oh well, wether you like it or not, I'll post my vital stats here just for me to feel the intensity of last week's theme... LOL!

To start, I'm 24 years old, and according to my last check (about a decade ago, LOL) I'm 5'2" in height. I am now holding my tape measure and in front of my weighing scale and my tape measure says: 34 28 35 Nothing much really changed, but few years back, I can still achieve a waist line of 26 without breathing =). Then my weighing scale says: 51.8 kg. (Because I didn't eat lunch) and when I do, it'll jump up to 53 kg. (It means I really eat more than a kilo each time, LOL) I am used to being 50 kg. and all along I thought I am maintaining that weight until just recently when hubby bought me a weighing scale, oh golly! I WAS WRONG!!!

And for this week's theme "show some flesh", I really have to dig in my pandora box because I can't remember any picture of myself wearing swimsuit which I thought would perfectly match the theme, but I hope the following will suffice... =)

See that amazona arm??? Eeeewww!!!

And another one.. =) Oh, I really don't know why those fats keep on stocking up on my arms and why not on my boobies... LOL!

And lastly... =) Alyssa was posing like mine, but she was too eager to run around, so the camera didn't capture it.

Well, that's only how FLESH-y I can be. I just don't have the K to show some more... with all the stretchies all over my tummy, oh you'll never want to see it, I'm sure. =)

Come-on Girls, it's our time to SHINE!!! LOL... Share those flesh-y pics with us at Girls Talk and let's all have some FUN!!!

Taken April 2008 at Leeds Castle - 1st week of our arrival in London (see the difference "then" and "now"? LOL... Hubby must see this 'coz he can't accept the fact that he's gained so much now.)

Oh, cuddle, cuddle... This is one thing we will never get tired of doing. Hubby hugs me most often when I wash the dishes and surely there's tickling on the side, then right after I finished washing or cooking I will hug him back and there, we cuddle. We just embrace tight and exchange "I Love You's". Our daughter loves seeing us do so. 

At Trafalgar Square, April 2008 as well. PDA??? hehehe... sabi ko pakiss eh.. kaya pala deadma, pumose sa camera... LOL

Then as we sit on the sofa and watch movies, we squash each other and arms all wrapped up. Same goes when we sleep. So much cuddling first before really falling asleep. These are the precious moments I can never afford to lose. 

Not to mention the special cuddling times in bed, oh those are really extra steamy! LOL! Hey, don't let me spill this out. I better shut up and just stick with the wholesome cuddling moments. =)

There's so much cuddling stories at Couple's Corner. So hop on and share yours too.

Oh, I'm guilty!!! I'm sorry, but I am a good liar. I make people believe in my lies, most specially my Lola, Papa, Titos and Titas and I do it every time I don't want to get scolded.*BAD* But not my husband (DIFFERENT HIM - in Tagalog, IBAHIN NYO SYA!) LOL... I have tried to lie so many times to Mark when we weren't married yet, but there's NO single thing that he wasn't able to catch. I am bad, I know and I hate myself for it. For those of you who have been an avid supporter of Couple's Corner, I'm sure you already know what I mean, but if you're lost with what I'm talking about then my story's HERE. Hey, don't get me wrong... I've graduated from that way way back... I'm GOOD now! Promise! =)

About our marriage, I would say I have nothing more to hide. I already confessed everything to my hubby and I believe by doing so, I was again able to gain his trust. With regard to issues in marriage like money, physical features and most specially, FEELINGS, I would say that we've already mastered the art of it that those things no longer count as issues at all. 

Just like all the other SAHMs, in our family, only hubby brings home the bacon. Good thing he earns enough that I can afford not to work. I hope every family can just be like us - moms stay at home and dads work and earn enough for the family. Sending money to our loved ones back home is never an issue. He provides for my father's medicines and he supports his brother's education. No matter how much he gives to any of our families are all agreed by us and I believe nothing's wrong with helping or just giving.

Physical features? Oh well, basically we're honest, but on his part, I'm not so sure...LOL. I can say freely how big his tummy is and how much weight he's gained as compared to when I met him. Quite different though when it's about mine. I believe he still can't tell me directly if he noticed my belly fats, more so my amazona arms. Every time I ask him if i'm getting as fat as my family, he'll only say, "Hhhmmm, medyo?" hahaha!!! I think it's already in his character that if he knows he can hurt me or any person in any way, he better not tell it at all. You can seldom hear him complain or even comment even if he knows something's happened and it's my fault. And we're very opposite, because I tell what I want and I keep on nagging, "You see? I told you...la..la..la.." Oh how lucky I am to have such a loving and understanding husband.

I believe being honest with our feelings is really important. We have to say how we feel, but it's the manner of saying it that actually matters. Like if I am feeling cross about him not listening to me or anything, I say it, but I make sure I won't raise my voice. It's something I learned from my hubby. He never raised his voice on me, not even once so I think it's just right to do the same. And if he wants me to know how he feels, most of the time he jokes about it. I'm the one who's easily hurt even though nothing's really needed to get serious of (oh, I believe most girls are, right?), while as I said, my hubby's so understanding and that he's so good at controlling his temper, because if not, I'm sure no more glass things are left and everything in our house are all unbreakable. LOL!

If you think you have something to share about your married lives, may it be fun or not, please feel free to join us. We, at Couple's Corner, don't judge each other's lives. We share and we learn from each other's experiences and views. So what are you waiting for? Hop on and enjoy the fun. Our host, Ate Liz of This is My Life, is one great wifey who'll surely lend a helping hand if you think you need one or can just be a friend who's always willing to listen and talk. =) Love you Ate Liz! 

I believe we have chosen a good school for our daughter. The school and the teachers have been our helping hands in guiding our daughter in becoming a good person. She has learned so much since the Nursery days and now that she's already a level higher.

Just last 10 February, the school conducted a food tasting project open for all parents to share whatever they fancy for others to taste. It's basically the International Week so most parents shared popular dishes from their countries of origin. It's my first time in the event, so I don't have an idea how it's going to be. I just decided to bake chocolate crinkles where I shared the recipe in Come Dine In, because Filipino stores are not very near and I don't have the right ingredients to make any of my country's lovely foods. I planned to do it next year, though. 

Each has to pay £1 for every 5 desserts and another £1 for every 5 savouries. With the help of all the parents, teachers and students, the school was able to collect £200+ to be donated to Haiti. 

What a nice way to share LOVE during the "Love Month".

Career has always been the last thing on my list of priorities. When God has given me my own family earlier than usual, I still strived to attain my degree. I might have thought of being a working mom - wearing a nice corporate attire, working in a cosy office environment, struggling to climb the corporate ladder - but when I've already tried my best to have the job that I'm dying to have and failed many times, I started to accept the meaning that it wants to communicate with me. 

The first factor why I don't fit in any job that I'm applying for is TIME. I have a daughter whom I have to bring to school in the morning and pick up at around 3:30 in the afternoon. That alone won't let me work full time (9-5 job) and so I only apply for part-time positions, but because I'm new and don't have enough experience yet, it's so impossible that they give me the time most convenient to me.

Then I re-learned the blogging world. As I explore, a large community of moms staying at home and earning while blogging and doing some freelance works welcomed me. I tried and on my first month of trial, it seems like it's whispering to my ears, "THIS IS THE RIGHT THING FOR YOU."

I just got an interview invitation from the nearest hotel in our place, but the working pattern will hinder me from doing what I love - preparing my hubby and daughter in the morning and being unable to pick her up on time every Friday. I thought about it, but at the end, hubby and I realized that with all the opportunities coming my way at the start of 2010 I can earn the same while working at home. 

I'm already blessed with everything - having a husband who's always been a good provider and the time that I am able to dedicate to my family and these I really thank God for letting me to have. I no longer need a career that will bring me to the top while slowly forgetting that I am the light of my home. My family is my priority and if career is there, it's surely at the last.

Breakfast in bed is not something special in our family. When we were still sharing a house with our 2 dear friends and that house was really cold (because it's not carpeted and it's in the ground floor), we often have our meals inside the bedroom. Not only breakfast, but even lunch and dinner. =) And during weekends, hubby doesn't like to eat on his own =) and just wanted to be fed. Yeah right! I've got 2 babies!!! LOL... Hubby was used to being literally 'spoon-fed' ever since we lived together and until now, he likes it.

I've told the story behind this photo already in my other CC entry, Plans for Valentines day. And basically, that's the most unexpected and sweetest breakfast in bed we had - ever! Oh, not really breakfast in bed though... I forgot that we weren't able to eat the pancake because it turned out to be a "Black Pig". LOL!

I believe this is the shortest CC entry I ever did. I'm looking forward to next week's theme: "Honesty is the Best Policy"... hhhmmm... I think i'll be sauteed in that topic because most of the time, I'm the one who's  dishonest - BAD ;)

You might have some nice breakfast in bed stories to share. Join us at Mommy Liz's Couples Corner.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but no matter how I want it, I just don't have the charisma of building a good relationship with so many people. I am friendly, yes, but I am not as entertaining as the others and i know I am boring to be with so a little hi and hello is enough and that's it. I have many friends, online and offline, but no one I know will have the patience to listen and talk to me the whole day, about anything under the sun and without running out of words and stories. No one... UNTIL... I met my Mareng Irish.

I can still remember how I learned about her. I saw her in Friendster with lots of pictures of her models. She's a talent scout and she can make kids model in different magazines in the Philippines and one of them is Smart Parenting. I am one stage mom and I really want my daughter to become a model, back then. So I added her as a friend and left her a message about my daughter, but  we were already about to fly to London that time so I know it won't be anymore possible. She asked my YM ID and when we had the chance to chat, I was surprised that she was so friendly and it seems like we've already known each other for so long. 

She is one famous kumare of all and everyone calls her "Kumare ng Bayan". She can get along very well with all the moms of any age, even though she isn't a mom yet - biologically, but a mom to so many kids. She is  one lovely kid lover. =)

She's the only person I can talk to just about anything. We can stay on YM, voice call the whole day and still maintain the energy. I know if we're only close physically, she's the person I can tag along anywhere and anytime.

We've been friends online since around mid 2008 and finally met offline June 2009. I didn't feel any awkwardness when I first see her. We hugged tight and chatted away just like what we do online.

This Valentines, she sent me these lovely gifts and a very sweet card. I am not as thoughtful as her, so she didn't receive anything from me... LOL.. (bawi ako next time mare ah.. sa December, humanda ka! bwahaha!!!)

I am just so proud and happy to find someone like my dear Mareng Irish. I thank God that He has given me someone I can call my best friend/real friend. I don't ask that she call me the same, but I just want her to know that for me, she's the "BEST" GIRL FRIEND... 

Mare,

You just don't know how blessed I am to have found you. I don't have to be someone else pag ikaw ang kausap ko. I hope someday, somehow I am able to double all your efforts. Thanks for always being there and for being so thoughtful. I have so much to thank you, but I know you know how much I feel for you. (Naks, parang lovers...)

I Love You soooo much Mare ko!!! Mwuah... Mwuah... Mwuah!!!

Lovingly yours, (Mala Helen Bela yan ha)

Mareng AC

After our sooo cheesy Valentines celebration, I believe our answers to that question are both "YES!". We've been together for almost 7 years now and married for almost 5 years, but I can say that our love for each other has just gone deeper throughout those years.

I am proud to introduce to you the women in my life. 

My Tita My on the left, Tita Arlene on the right and my Nanay Ba (Lola-Nanay Ba short for Nanay Taba) in the middle. They are all sexy (not just slim) years years back... =) And my Mommy (my Tita whom I call Mommy - they are sisters) is the only one who isn't gaining weight. But no matter how fat or thin they are, I love them just the same.

And on brotherhood...

Only my Ninong Obet is slim.

Can you guess why I am showing them to you? LOL... They will kill me when they see this. =) Well, because this is of the things my hubby and I joke about. I always ask him, "Dad, will you still love me even though I get as fat as Nanay Ba? And he'll answer, "No!" *laughing* I am just lucky to get my desired weight back after giving birth and breastfeeding is my saviour. =) I also don't do any kinds of diet, so I hope and pray that I will be like this forever. LOL

Another funny question I ask my hubby is, "Dad, will you still love me kahit na uugod-ugod na tayo?" and his answer is, "Tingin mo aabot pa tayo dun? Sa dami ng hindi healthy foods na kinakain natin eh di na tayo aabot dun." wahahaha!!! He's right! We both don't think that we'll still reach the 70s age. We're very lucky if we do and if that happens, we know for sure that we'll carry on the love and sweetness we managed to built throughout our younger years.

Ate Liz is right, we girls are all concern about our looks. Well, maybe because that's the usual reason why husbands look on other girls. That's why no matter how old we may be, we all have to take good care of ourselves and it will not only magnetize our hubsters, but it will also make us feel good about ourselves. *Oh, look who's talking... I don't even comb my hair after waking up* =)

We've been celebrating Valentines ever since we met. Our First Valentines was really memorable, but Dad never changed, until now. 

A week before Valentines day, hubby's been planning so much on what to do and where to go. I don't really have a clue if anything will push through. Then, come Saturday, we were still undecided wether to go out or not, until we both get up and convinced each other not to go back to bed. =)

We had a Valentines lunch in a Chinese restaurant to join with this year's theme "Valentines in a Chinese New Year".

Then we headed off to the movie house to watch Avatar and have our first 3D experience. 

And since we still have time, we went straight to Canary Warf to stroll around.

Inside Zara to goof around.

We waited for the next train... and home we went.

Our super fun Valentines celebration for this year has ended... or so I thought - Until...

The next day, I woke up to the many sweet hugs and kisses from my dear hubster with a lovely morning greeting of "Happy Valentines, Mum!" It was a nice Sunday morning and I asked Alyssa to get our no-longer-surprise card for Dad. Wait for my Mommy Moments entry for the story behind that surprise card, I'm sure you'll laugh your hearts out - because we did! =)

I asked hubby what time we're going to church and instead of the usual answer, "Of course, 11:30", I got the answer "Let's think about it later". So since it's still too early, we went back to bed and watched the whole week's episode of "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo". We jumped out of bed when we heard a loud bang from a broken glass - it was Alyssa on top of the kitchen counter reaching for some chocolates  from the kitchen cupboard. Good thing she wasn't hurt. While we were cleaning the kitchen, the buzzer rang. I have no plans of opening it because I am not waiting for anything, I always assume they are just some promo persons giving away leaflets. Hubby forced me to check on it, though I am hesitant, I did. When I opened the door, it was a delivery man handling a box of Marks & Spencer. I read the label and was surprised to see my name printed on it. I asked the delivery man, "What's this?" he answered, "Flowers dear, it's Valentines day". Oh my! I knew it! And I said, "Hhhhmmm... That's why my hubby doesn't like to open the door... this is some kind of a suprise!" And we both laughed, but as I climb up the stairs I can't hold my tears back. It just keeps on falling. When I saw hubby, I hugged him tight and kissed him. I really wasn't expecting anything at all, because I told him not to buy me flowers anymore, all I want is a card and every time I say that, he doesn't answer back. That's the reason why he can't answer what time we're going to church, he doesn't know when the flowers will be delivered.

And I though that was it. Then he said, "Mum, can you open the oven please?" Of course I asked why, he said "Just open it, I'm going to clean it." When I opened, a giant card was sitting on the oven. And again, my tears continued flowing and much more when I read his message.

A dozen of red roses for me, a giant card and a box of Belgian chocolates for our dear Alyssa.

I always say this line, "My hubby doesn't fail to surprise me, in any occasion", but it's true. We've been celebrating Valentines the 6th time today, but nothing's changed. It was just as sweet as the first.

Happy Valentines Everyone!!!
