This entry may not mean anything to anyone but my husband (well, hopefully). I just want to casually drop by today to let the world know how happy I am that I get to spend this day with my husband. We’ve been celebrating his birthday together since 2005 and it’s just amazing to think that “wow, it’s been 13 years…”
I used to not pay any attention to my birthday. I even used to think that just thinking about my birthday is already a sign of immaturity. I don’t know how I adopted that ridiculous idea and where or
who I got that from but for a long time, I have been avoiding any discussion
revolving around my birthday. But this year is different. It was my birthday five
days ago and I was very happy to celebrate it because I realized, “why
shouldn't I?” Birthdays, after all, are a reminder of God's miracle
called LIFE. So let us all be happy about our birthdays and let us do our best to
celebrate it every way we can! :)
Hi everyone!
Today is my brother's birthday. I think it's his 33rd birthday. I'm not so sure coz I lost count when he passed away. Yeah, he's gone. And I miss him. I miss him a lot...
You know what? He's supposed to play the piano on my wedding but he didn't even get to see it happen. I wonder how he is now. He's probably having such an awesome time with all the angels up there in heaven. He's probably playing the harp for the Lord right this very moment. WOW! It's the only instrument he didn't get to play when he's alive and he's always dreamed of playing it for Jesus. And today, I think he's living that dream!
I'm so blessed to have been blessed a brother as gifted as him even though it's for just a short time only. I will never forget all the fun memories we shared together. I will never forget that he's the reason I finished college. I will never forget how he played the piano or the guitar while I sang. I will never forget how he carried me on his shoulders when we're young because it rained and I didn't want to get mud all over my feet. I will never forget how he got scolded by our parents for something I did. I will never forget him. I will never forget you, Kuya.
Happy birthday, Kuya. I love you and I miss you so damn much... :(
Yesterday, 29th of October was my husband’s birthday and with the help of our friends from different parts of the world, I prepared a “supposedly” surprised video for him. Yes, supposedly! He has this inexplicable way of always ruining my surprises for him. Argh! Hahaha.
Anyway, before I show you the surprised video I did for him, I want to mention first that we went to Bali Indonesia on Saturday, 26th October and had our 3D2N stay at Serene Villas as his birthday celebration. I’ve vlogged while we were there, so I’ll be posting about our stay there in the coming days.
The song I sang in the video is entitled Araw Mo by the Philippines Soul Siren, Nina. Here are the lyrics and chords to the song:

So that’s what’s been keeping me really busy the past weeks of October, that’s why I wasn’t able to blog here and film videos more often. The bad thing is, it’s supposed to be a surprise but he really has a way of always finding out about it. Hahaha. But what the heck! We’re still able to make him happy and that's what matters.
He admitted he was surprised to see this cake on our bed when he entered the room. It feels nice to finally feel accomplished! Hahaha.
