Mga Nakaw na Sandali (Cartoons ito!)

"The grass is always greener... when it's watered!" ~Unknown

Madalas kaming magtalong mag-asawa (meaning: talak ako ng talak).  Dahil parehas kaming pagod sa trabaho, hands on kami sa aming mga anak pag-uwi at gusto niyang maging milyonaryo sa bejeweled at ako naman gusto nang mag level up sa candy crush, we have little time for each other. Text text lang at email. 

So to ensure we have time for each other, sapilitan and monthly date.  Once a month lang yan pero nakakaguilty na iniiwan namin ang mga anak namin at si mama.  Pero importante ito para mapanatiling matatag ang relationship ng mag-asawa.

Sana tuloy tuloy lang ang mga nakaw na sandali, nababawasan ang aking pag tatalak!

Thank you Lord for giving me my husband =)

Someone is Surprised

3 white roses in a box from someone. (literal, nakasulat sa box: from someone)
That was the surprise I received on Valentine's Day 2002.

I married that someone 2 years later.

Birthdays and Mother's day, I would receive a bouquet of roses.  A lot of times I would tell that someone I want flowers,  he gets me roses.  I love roses but there are other flowers in the world =)

I'm so blessed to be from Baguio. We have flowers year round, and they are cheap! I would buy long stemmed roses regularly.  I learned to arrange flowers and would usually do for our dining table.

Now in Singapore, flower bouquets are so expensive.  A bouqet of 6 roses would be around S$50.  So I thought that for mother's day, I should just make a flower arrangement for my Mom.


I got her favorite flower in her favorite color. Purple Orchids.  It cost me about $20 only.

For her birthday, I got her yellow orchids. $13.

No need to arrange, they are just so beautiful by themselves, my mom the most beautiful flower of course.

This year on valentine's day, someone had to go to work.  I told someone that I do not want to receive any rose bouquet. (The roses wilt very fast as it's so hot in Singapore!)  Instead I told someone to give me money then I would just buy the flowers I want.



Someone said WOW! $30, I even bought a lot of other flowers for my new vase.

This year for my birthday, I again told someone not to spend on expensive bouquet.  Someone said he'd make an arrangement for me.


WOW! Someone did a good job! 

While I was admiring the flowers, someone exclaimed: That's only $23. 

It was a very good birthday surprise but the truth is, Someone was more surprised than me.  Someone learned that he does not need to spend that much to make me happy!
