A Couple and A Baby

 

recently, i was able to visit a few blogs from my fellow ex-wowies (bride-to-be's who registered at weddings at work.  wow! most of them have come a long way after the wedding! the blog contents now are all about BABIES!  the birthing story... the baptism... the many 1sts stories... 1st birthday...and so on. i did enjoy reading them and i truly felt happy for them. the babies are so cute!

ahem, what about me and joey? after the wedding, what happened to us?

since we were on a long distance relationship, we spent our 1st 2 years together. as in doing a lot of things TWOGETHER.  It was our period of courtship. sounds crazy considering we are both nearing the big 4-0. and we are just doing the courtship now!

anyway, there's really no regrets from our part. we enjoyed every minute of our togetherness and we still enjoy it up to now. i guess we're really latebloomers. we got married in our mid-30s anyway. maybe the baby will come later, too :p

don't get me wrong. its not that we dont want to have a baby. we just dont feel we're up to it now. is that a crime? well, most of time people make me feel like it is. like we are not following the rules of marriage -- after the wedding, baby. the thought of the baby is cute. but we are not just up to it.

actually, there's a lot of upside of not having a baby yet. let me cite a few of them:

1.joey and i can go out on weekly dates -- lunch at any hotel or restaurant we want then watch a movie of stroll in the mall

2.  we can still buy whatever we want for ourselves -- shopping is still my favourite thing in the world

3. we can travel the world with no kids in tow

4. we can just stay at home and be lazy all the day long or watch movies uninterrupted with a crying baby

5. we can invest on a house, land and other things since we dont have a child to save money for

6. i can still maintain a good figure and think of ways on how else can we have a healthier lifestyle as a couple

7.  we're really getting closer and closer and more in love as days go by

i know married couples with kids will stil insist having kids is the best. i am sure its a blessing and it fun to have kids. but we're not just at it. does that make us less of a couple? i dont think so. does that make me less of a woman and a wife? i don't think so.

out time to have a family has not yet come.we are enjoying our togetherness as couple.  we are latebloomers. allow us to to walk before we run. its all in God's time and God's plan that it will happen. and even it it doesn't, we know we will survive and be happy just like other families.

i can still see myself giggling with my husband and running around the house like kids. for now,i do enjoy my husband's babying ways to me. and i know he does, too.the most important thing is being happy to whatever situation you are in as a couple.

A Bride-to-be's Last Birthday


this will be my last year to celebrate my birthday as a single girl. a super single, go-getter, risk-taker career woman hahhaha! sigh, i can say that i enjoyed my singled life to the fullest. and i will get married not pregnant! no offense to others. this is just a promise i gave my mom and one of the best gifts i can give her.

what were the other gifts?

- finish school without getting pregnant --> i surpassed this
- enter into a relationship wihtout getting pregnant --> whew! surpassed this, too
- enjoy work without being a single mom --> okay, this did not happen to me
- get married at the right age, not pregnant --> almost there! getting married, i mean

the chances of getting pregnant prior to getting married? nah! it won't happen as joey is in the US! and we will see each other only on december, 2 weeks before the wedding. and i told him straight he has to wait no matter what. it's only 2 weeks before the grand honeymoon (yahoo!) anyway, hehhehe.

since this will be my last year as a singleton, i just want to enjoy my birthday to the fullest - with friends, families and people close to me. i really want a happy birthday. a day i will really really enjoy and just relax.

then by next year, i will have joey to celebrate it with. and this makes me glow.

since we are in a long distance relationship, there were many occasions that joey and i were not together -- like our birthdays, anniversaries, christmas. 2 years ago was a memorable one since we celebrated new year together when we got engaged.  we went to a romantic dinner at the rooftop of banyan tree hotel. and at the strike of 12 midnight, he was holding my engagement ring(ed) hand and just watching the fireworks in the night sky of bangkok. that was why it was memorable for us.

how i wish he can fly to bangkok and be here for my birthday. well, in a few months we will be together and that is all that maters.

my wish on my 36th birthday?  that i may be able to enjoy being single to the last day and give the best years of the rest of my life for joey.

A Visit Into the Past


recently, i had the chance to look at my "stuff" from the past.  these are letters, poems, photos, little gifts from friends i had encountered way way before. i still have contact with some of them especially my brothers and sisters in the Catholic Community where i belong in manila.

actually, i was trying to find the letters sent to me by joey in the past. he had kept my letters intact all these years and there were proofs there that he did write me back.  but gosh, i cant find them! i'm not the type who throws away stuffs but i just can't find his letters.  i really really want to read them again since our relationship has come to a full circle.  being classmates 20 years ago, no spark, innocently exchanging letters when he went to the US and then meeting again 2 years ago just to discover we will end up marrying each other. 

most letters from the community were truly inspiring and enriching.  affirming me of my strengths.  there were letters from past relationships when i was still young but i had to throw them away already.  then there were letters from my bestfriend lena, when we were still in college. she sent me letters through mail though she lives only by 10 minutes drive from my house.  we both didn't have telephones then.  there was even a time she mentioned that they got a pager already and i can send message to her through that!  that was already hi-tech then.  and now, everyone relies on the mobile phone!

indeed those were the days...

the days of writing because email is still not popular and having pc at home is a 'luxury'.  but those were meaningful letters coming from the heart, hand written and thought of (not forwarded).  no matter how ugly the handwitings were, it's still worth appreciating.  who else will care to write these days? even cards have gone electronic :-(

i saw old pictures from our past retreats that i did not have time to put in the album.

i have seen, with the way people wrote me, that i have lived a beautiful past. and i had been a good friend to them. i may not be perfect in so many ways, but i am perfect in being a loyal friend.

whenever i see them, there is this connection bound by our past journeys. when we had been travelling companions.

and indeed, my life had been blessed with so many beautiful people i have encountered.  people who had taught me humility, loyalty, honesty and most of all, to love God.

i know that i will have another exciting future with joey as my husband. with our life's experiences, i believe we can paint a beautiful life together.

i never regreted my past no matter how imperfect it has been.  i never bore any grudge against those who have hurt me.  they have wounded me but they have also brought out the beauty in me.  i'm a beautiful wounded person.  and joey has accepted and loved me as i am. 

i guess in God's masterplan for me, i am not really meant to live that perfect life. but God has meant that i may learn the perfect lesson. 

to live life with love. and to live life and love with passion. 

with love, you can forgive. with forgiveness, the more you can live and  love. and the more love you have, then the  more passionate you become. 

then i can live life with love and live love with passion.

Best Friends Forever

my bestfriend has been reading my blog since i gave her the link. her name is lena.  and God, we've been bestfriends way back in highschool. she was a transfer student from st. paul. long black hair and very girlie with the way she talked and moved.   so she became one of the most popular girls in school. she was always invited to be the muse during school intrams and i was so proud of her.


i cannot recall anymore how we became friends and then the best of friends.  all i remember was that she liked going to my house and same for me. we would be together during recess time and would wait for each other after school (even she lives far from my house). 

we parted ways in college but we continued to keep in touch. we visited each other as often as we can and updated each other when we got the time to meet up.

i was her maid of honor when she got married and i was the one who helped in planning her wedding.

i have met a lot of people in my life. some of them i have built good relationships with but LENA is the only one i considered my BESTFRIEND.  that word is very sacred to me. has a very deep meaning. in her, i have really found true acceptance.  a bonding that goes beyond time and distance.  a friendship not measured by being together at all times.  but consistently maintaining that bond, acceptance, sisterhood and love even without seeing each other as often.

now that i am getting married, she is in full support of me and my husband-to-be (who has the same name as her husband, joey. and both of them are bestfriends, too).  i cannot help but be thankful of her presence in my life. for letting me experience this kind of deep friendship. for allowing me to be her best friend.  she wrote me a note recently and it filled my heart to the brim and made my tears to fall.  she wrote:

i feel fortunate to have found a friend in you.  you have the gift of bringing out the best in people and make life looks and feels really exciting.  I'm glad I'm one of those you touched. 

my dear bestfriend, i will always be there for you.  here's a poem that fits our special bonding...



"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
                from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
    --Unknown

Lumpini Park (continuation)

today, i went to Lumpini Park again for my usual run.  i had been slaving infront of the computer the whole of saturday until sunday afternoon preparing  the creative brief and references  for my art director for a new beverage account i am pitching this tuesday.

alas by 5:30 pm i was out for a breath of fresh air, stretch my legs and relax my brain for awhile.

funny for today, i particularly noticed the different "runs" and "walks" people do. here's how i may call or describe them:

  1. the professional runner - you can see by the movement of the legs and arm (plus the outfit) that they know HOW TO RUN PROPERLY.  Body slightly leaning forward, arms bend as it sways form side-to-side and a distinctly  fluid running movement -- like watching a gazelle
  2. the sexy runner - the hips do sway side-to-side and the feet are only slighty lifted from the ground. the men do it perfectly in my observation
  3. the straight leg - weird, they are running but i don't see the legs bending. how can they manage to do that
  4. the slow motion runner - very suave movement, like every falling of the feet is calculated; the pacing is really slow almost like a fast walk (but not brisk walking)
  5. the run for your lives runner - whoa! they do run at a speed like they are in the race. there were 2 incidents already that they nearly bumped on me.  they scare me everytime they pass. i always thought someone is after them.

so, what kind of a runner am i? join me in my next run so you will know ;-)

The 3 Kilometer Run

i have started the discipline of running to keep me fit since March of this year.  since i live very near lumpini park, it is not difficult to do it as often as possible.  we have a full gymn equipment in the condo but i never use them.  the park is better.  i see people, trees, the pond, lovers, friends, plus joey and i had fun memories there last january. nothing compared to seeing the same people in an airconditioned gymn.

if you are not a regular runner, it is very difficult to cover the entire stretch of lumpini.  it's big!


    

during the first week i started running, i can cover only 1 kilometer.  then i get so tired.  then i just do brisk walking. the succeeding weeks after that, i was able to do 3 kilometers.  but i have to stop at every kilometer for brisk walking then run again.  2 weeks ago, i was able to run for 3 kilometers non-stop and boy was i so happy! and 2 days ago, i finished 5 kilometers non-stop!

i think with the efforts i am putting, i will be able run the entire park for so many rounds just like the other joggers there. 

i feel good everyday. i try to come home early like 5:30 or 6 pm at the latest so i can go home, change to my running clothes and shoes then off to the park.

my running companions:
  • mini ipod that joey gave last valentine. whenever i feel tired, i focused on the music and its beat.  and when its time to slow down, it relaxes me, too, as i tune in to the classical music
  • my ever reliable nike air for 5 years.  too bad 2 days ago i discovered i can no longer use them!  so i switched to my red fila running shoes.  i think they are better and lighter. i was wearing my fila when i did that 5 km run.
  • my thoughts. believe it or not i think of creative ideas related to my work as i run.  it helps!
  • the interesting people in the park. i like people watching. i see lovers sitting quietly in one corner.  i see office workers just crossing the park happily chatting while walking. i see young and old people jogging!  i see families together.  and at 7 pm, the park is still full of people!

i think i am gonna continue to run for the rest of the year. it makes me feel good.

when i think about it, my  life is like the 3 km run i did before.  i tried to experiment on how to reach the goal by combining walking and running, then running all the way and i still reached my goal.  and then i push myself a little further and see if i can do another kilometer and i did  it.

i have always been a goal-oriented person and i make sure i focussed on the goal.  but the secret is not just in reaching the goal.  it's how you reach it, too. 

turning passion into action helps a lot in reaching any goal. a very good lesson i learned. PASSION is key.  plus, the goal is not an end in itself but a start to another goal.

these are good words to live by:  TURN YOUR PASSION TO ACTION.

New Set of Beads Accessories

                                        


i am really enjoying these beads.  yesterday, i was able to come up with a pair of earrings and a bracelet with a lock.  i did these all with barehands.  i haven't bought the pliers yet (or that thing you use to bend the wires). maybe tomorrow.

joey requested i make him a choker so i'll do it tonight before i do my work.

this is a very good stress buster indeed.

Five Things

I got this idea from a wowie

five things you may not know about my time in school

  1. i recycled my old notebooks.  those pages I haven’t used, i combined them all to make another notebook. my mom did get some savings on this.
  2. i was so thin my sister called me “batang negros”.
  3. i never cheated in highschool nor in college even though i got failing marks
  4. i sold cute bottles my mom used to bring home from Philips. everyone liked it    and its affordable at 50 centavos per bottle. and in summer, I rented our octopus game and watch for 1 peso per 30 minutes.
  5. i stayed 5 years in college.  i studied at pamantasan ng lungsod ng maynila for a year then transferred to UP where I started from year 1.  but I managed to graduate cum laude.

  
five things you may not know about my  life in bangkok

  1. i’ve lived in three places for the last 4 years – petchburi, ramkhamheang then now i am in rajdamri
  2. i love going to lord jim’s at oriental hotel because of the lunch buffet. and i love foie gras.
  3. i took muay thai and kick boxing lessons but stopped when the gym closed down
  4. i still speak very little thai. but it has its advantages because people seldom argue with me hehhee.
  5. i am still disoriented on various places in bangkok and i still get lost even if I had been to the place several times.   very poor sense of direction!

 five things you may not know about my home


  1. my parents had been separated since I was 12 years old
  2. we lived in my grandmother’s house all my life. but finally I as able to buy a      house for mama so she can transfer there this year (2005) and will have a place she can call her own.
  3. my mom was a labourer at Philips electrical lamps for 30 years.  but she was able to send us to a private school and my sister and i managed to graduate with degree from two of the top universities in Manila (UST and UP)
  4. i was the OC "house maid" who cleaned the house all the time until i got an allergy from dust (i sneeze non-stop the moment i started dusting and washing clothes make me sick)
  5. we are a family of pet lovers.  we have lots of stray cats, 3 dogs and now 1 chick


five things i desperately want


  1. longer legs.  my dream height is 5'10" up.
  2. naturally straight black hair so i don't need to rebond every 6 months
  3. win the lottery so i can just travel the world with joey
  4. a house near the beach in the US after we get married
  5. plasma TV!


five embarrasing admissions


  1. i'm  afraid of insects with hairy legs
  2. i can't sleep without swaying my feet from side-to-side
  3. as a fallback career, i would like to be a back up dancer to a famous singer or band
  4. my diary is in spanish but some words are in tagalog because i am limited with my Spanish vocabulary
  5. i joined an amateur singing contest when i was 10 singing Becka Godinez' song "Lalaking Makisig".  In the middle of singing, i totally forgot the lyrics.  i ran away from the stage to everyone's surprise.  after that incident, everyone who saw me would always remind me of the lyrics i forgot.

five best compliments given to me


  1. "you are a person with a beautiful heart" (Gerald Gonzales, ex-Saatchi boss and officemate)
  2. "i look at you and i see a wounded person.  but blessed are you jane who has been through a lot of pains in the past, for you can understand more the pains of other people." (Fr. Mark Lessage, Community of the Living Water)
  3. "you are truly a beautiful soul" (Lynne Klapecki, bangkok boss)
  4. "you are a woman of incredible strength.  you have an incredible capacity to forgive those who have hurt you and you can always bounce back.  yet you still look at life positively." (Estella Padilla, Community of the Living Water)
  5. "you're my true love and you're God's precious gift to me and I'm very blessed to have you as my partner and future wife to be. I look forward being with you,
    loving and caring for you, and growing old with you. I'm the luckiest guy ever.
    I am so in love with you."
     
    (Joey my love)

Sigh...

Breaking Up and Being Found


i just found out from someone today that her december wedding will not push through anymore.  the guy has fallen in love with his bestfriend and cannot marry the girlfriend for 10 years.  they talked about it.  the guy told her the truth. the end.

stories like this make me so sad.  i myself had experienced being let go of someone because there is no love anymore. funny how love can give you such joy and yet give you such pain, too.

these are the lessons i've learned:

1.  the rain will pass and soon the sunshine will come... for sure

2.  God gives us the hurdles for jumping.  if you fall, stand-up.
3.  when someone breaks your heart, love yourself and God more
4.  paint your nails -- it's very good in releasing stress :)
5.  go through the emotional cycle - be in denial, then hate, then grieve, pity
     yourself, until you've reached a point there's nothing left but you and an empty
     heart.  then start all over again. but give yourself a grieving period.
6.  surround yourself with friends
7.  always tell yourself... "you deserve somebody better"

8.  move on and move on


i reached a point in my life that i was contented being single because relationships don't work well with me (so i thought).  i don't see anything wrong with being single.  but then love works in mysterious ways.  when i was already hiding myself from love, love still found me in the person of joey.  and he is really my gift from God.

who would have thought our paths will cross after 18 years while i am in bangkok and he is in US?  only God can plan something like this to happen.  i believe that in my heart.

now i have someone who loves me dearly... who is willing to spend the rest of his life with me. i think it's romantic. he erased all the pains i've had in the past.  and he makes me excited about the future.

i am so glad he found me.  and i am so glad i let myself be found hehhehe

i thank God he paired joey with me.

i love God. our matchmaker.

and now... have to get back on my wedding preps.  it's 231 days to go!
