Ang Birthday Ng Mahal Ko

Last April 8, my beloved husband celebrated his birthday. I wanted to give him something special, but he did not want me to buy anything for him. I had wanted to write him letters, but I do that everyday anyway, so scratch. I then thought of just preparing a simple feast for him. Simple, yes. A feast, not really. Hehe.

I am not really good in cooking, the only times I cooked was when we were living in San Pedro, so cooking for him on his birthday is really something I am happy about. I prepared spaghetti and mango cream cake for him. It was a simple merienda, but one that was prepared with much love. He said he liked what I cooked. Good. But I could not claim all credit as he also helped me in cooking the spaghetti. We shared the food with his family and mine, I did not hear any negative feedback so I guess I passed as a cook for a day. Haha.

I have to mention that we actually went to church and pray. We havent really done that much, and it may be one reason why our prayers are not yet being answered. So we went and we prayed. we asked for forgiveness, and we sought His help. We know we need His guidance in our lives, and we acknowledged that to Him. We went to the nearby mall afterwards and just let the babies enjoy their new bike.

Come dinnertime, we went to Yellowbell, the local bar and restaurant in Pagsanjan. I like it there because it has a nice ambience, and you have privacy because you have your own hut. We just had Japanese dinner and a bottle of beer each. We love drinking together. Hehe.

The day ended without me giving anything special to my love. I hope though that even with my simple actions, I was able to show him how much I love him, and how blessed I am that he was born into this world, and into my life...

Black Saturday Outing

Good Friday

As the custom is in Pagsanjan, there was a prusisyon last Good friday. Wanting to ask forgiveness for all sins committed, Jay and I joined and walked in penance.

Holy Thursday

As I was working for and with Australian and not Filipino clients, I still had to work while all of my family was already in Pagsanjan. Worse is that since it will be a long weekend, there was tons of work to do. We were paid double plus a 200 allowance though, Thank God.

I finished my work at 3pm and headed home to Laguna. I was not looking forward to this trip, as I was fearing the worst for the traffic. Fortunately, none of my fears materialized. I was able to ride without a problem and was able to reach Pagsanjan in 2 hours.

Because of the hard work and the long trip, I was already very tired when I got to Pagsanjan. But as they are beginning to be our favorite games now, we still played Pictionary and Charades. This time however, we shifted teams and played with Tobby and Jalec. ( Jay and I still played with Lucky and Jen the first time and we STILL remain undefeated. HAHA) Went to the newly opened 711 in town after, and it was around 230 when we finally went to sleep. I was already bone tired by then.

The Mayor's House

Went to the house of Mayor ER Ejercito last Sunday. The reason: Jay being invited to run for counsilor. Naturally, as befitting Jay's personality, he declined. No amount of courting and very hopeful predictions from the mayor and all the other counsilors made him say yes. Anyway, took pictures of some of the items there while waiting for Jay to be convinced...

*A SHOT OF OUR NATURE-INSPIRED BACKYARD SWIMMING POOL

Gustong-gusto ko sa bahay namin sa Pagsanjan, Laguna. Masarap kasi tumambay dun dahil maganda ang tanawin, maginhawa ang ihip ng hangin, at tunay na nakakapayapa ng damdamin. Gusto ko kasi talaga ang tanawing may tubig. Para bang napaka peaceful ng buhay sa may tubig. May problema ka man, pwede mo itong ipadala sa agos ng tubig. Kung gugustuhin mo, pwede ka ring tumubug sa tubig, at lunurin ang problema o linisin ang iyong sarili. Maginhawa pa. Hehe.
