Ang Kasal Namin....

It was somewhat a crazy, cute, funny, glorious day for us. We were running late going to Tagaytay, we should be there by 8:30 but cuz it's a friday the traffic at the SLEX was a mad race cuz of the road construction that was going on..mad cuz it was slow, GRRRRR. The Judge's secretary said hey the judge is leaving and he won't be able to officiate the wedding if you don't arrive on time. I was like omg....i'm driving and u can't speed up on a crazy traffic like this. Once we've reached the santa rosa exit i started revving up at a speed fast enough to be safe of course...it's my wedding day and i'm driving..can u beat that??? well i wasn't in my wedding dress yet so i can be in the F1 race for the meantime. LOL! When we got to the court luckily the judge was still there waiting. we got the docs ready. paid the fee and waited a little for my witnesses. During the ceremony the judge read some sort of a sermon - small talk about what and how marriage should be. I thought all along it would just be "ok guys slip those rings into ur fingers and i declare u married" sort of thing. Well the judge did have important things to say. What surprised us more is the exchange of vows - we didn't prepare for any!!!!! i started thinking of something meaningful to say but it was Bry's turn first. He only said a few words and those were the words "I'll stay true" and it does mean a lot and encompasses a lot of things, feelings, thoughts and action. Men should be what this is, a few words and a lot of action. after all the vows, exchange of rings and the first official kiss, we signed the official docs and headed off to Sonya's Secret Garden...will continue the story later but check out our slide show...


A Cure for Mouth Sores...


I really don't have a scientific explanation for this but, the key word here is Enymes, so read on. One time, a friend of mine was asking me what could cure her baby girl's mouth sores, I didn't know what to say 'cuz I'm not a doc...my friend didn't even know how the baby got them, she just did a home research and found that only the mother's saliva can cure it. So off she went, brushed her teeth and mouth clean and after that she rubbed her own saliva into the infant's mouth. It was really a surprise for her 'cuz the mouth sores really got healed and she excitedly told me about it. So i said, okay if it works that way something should work with adults who get them especially during hot summer months. It's really a hassle trying to cure mouth sores with either salt or alum, both agitates the sore and makes it super painful. Every time you'd have it and every time you would use those home remedies, your pain thresh hold lowers, awwwwww, real sucky feeling, because of the mouth sore u can't kiss! But wait, with the thought that saliva could cure mouth sores, then maybe we can still kiss even if u have it. Well you just have to warn your hunny not to be too rough and hit the painful spots if he or she is probing your mouth for a good smooch - a suave and smooth kissing that is. Okay then, after brushing my teeth really good, i thought, why don't i try kissing my hunny passionately??? Which i did and sure enough a few hours after that, I no longer felt the pain and swelling, plus it left a good feeling cuz I have kissed my hunny intensely and passionately. So i was thinking, it could be the love that we shared that also hastened the healing and the love juices we shared in that kiss. Actually it's the enzymes present in our saliva that helps with the healing...haha, what a yummy way to get cured, sigh :) MWAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Drum roll please....


Three months with Gold's Gym and few work outs done at home, what do you get, of course a trimmed body and more confidence. Believe me, it's worth the sweat. Although i can't afford to pay a personal trainer, I'm lucky to have my hunny do all the research for my training. Thanks for his knack in motivating me to work out and finding the right exercise. If you want to know my training...go to www.t-nation.com and look for sexy body work out. You will learn that you don't need to do a thousand crunches to flatten your tummy out (it will actually make it bigger 'cuz of bigger muscles gained.) Really, spot-reduction never works, you have to pay attention to other parts of your body to get it into good proportion. I still have a little over a month to go before me and my hunny's big day, though it's really gonna be super simple...i still want to be the sexy yummy bride on that day...so off to more work out...mwah!

7 Things Men Wish Their Women Would (and Wouldn't) Do

By Brenda Della Casa
eDiets Contributor
You’ve been told they are un-committable creatures from another planet "who think with their nether regions," but the truth is, the guy in your life is a lot more like you than you might think -- he just doesn’t know how to tell you.
If your man won’t open up about what’s on his mind, don’t fret. You are about to find out the top seven things he’s secretly wishing you would start and stop doing right now. No analyzing required!
Please Stop: Nagging Him to Be More Romantic
He never buys you flowers, takes you out to dinner or lives up to your grand romantic ideals like your sister's guy. How does he know? You never stop telling him!
He Wishes You Would: Appreciate the Things He Does Do for You
Ok, so he may not surprise you with roses, but how about those days he walks the dogs so you can sleep in or the fact he suffers through your romantic comedy’s when he’s dying to see people run away from a chainsaw-wielding maniac?
Sometimes we gals become so fixated on a set list of what is considered romantic that we often devalue the dozens of other ways our partners show they care. There is also the unfortunate fact that dinners, flowers and shiny things in small boxes cost a bundle these days. He may want to do these things for you but cannot afford them.
Granted! Show him you appreciate him by thanking him for helping you move and killing that spider, the fact is that he wouldn’t do these things if he didn’t care about you.
Please Stop: Setting Him Up for Failure
You’ve been eating a little more pie and haven’t seen the gym in months. You’re pants are significantly more snug, but you refuse to believe that you have gained the 15 pounds your scale claims you have. So, you decide to ask your guy the question that makes the ears of all men bleed… “Babe, do I look fat?”
What He Wants: To Get Out of the Line of Fire
Let’s deconstruct this for a second. You know you have gained weight, screwed up at work or should not have cut those bangs at home, but you don’t want to face it so you expect your mate to boost your confidence by lying to you or running the risk of being called an inconsiderate jerk? This is hardly a healthy relationship habit, woman!
Granted! While it’s safe to assume no one else notices the small bump on your nose or an extra five pounds, being insecure about something is reason enough to address it, so take action through therapy or another way -- privately.
If you feel a little too soft, treat yourself to a gym membership or take the stairs more often, but don’t expect your man to boost your self-esteem by telling you what you want to hear. Sending him mixed messages, as in “I want you to be honest unless it will hurt my feelings,” not only confuses him, but also makes him feel trapped and suffocated and you look deeply insecure. Besides, there’s a good chance he doesn’t notice the dimples in your thighs until you point them out!
What He Wants: You to Accept Him for Who He Is
You really like your guy, but his style, haircut and/or Star Wars obsession makes you cringe. He’s a really nice guy, so you keep dating him with the intention of “tweaking him to perfection” once he agrees to go exclusive.
Please Stop: Trying to Change Him
While it’s normal for partners to influence one another, telling your guy to let go of ideas, opinions or the things he enjoys or cares about is controlling and disrespectful. If he tells you he’s a football fanatic while dating, don’t pout when he doesn’t want to do brunch on Sundays two years later.
Granted! Lose the “fixer-upper” mentality, and when a man tells you who he is, believe him and decide if his habits, values and lifestyle fits with yours before getting too involved. If he says he does not want children, don’t think you can change his mind later, and if he’s fond of plaid, know that his grungy button-downs are part of the package.
Approaching dating this way will not only prevent misunderstandings, it will also save you a lot of frustration. Think about how long it takes to change your own habits -- let alone trying to re-wire another human being!
Please Stop: Wearing So Much Green
A pretty saleslady tries to help him at the store and you accuse him of wanting to sleep with her. His best female friend calls him late at night and you wonder if they are having an affair. He’s so scared of your outbursts that he feels he can’t look anywhere but down when you are out together!
What He Wants: You to Trust Him
While a little jealousy can keep a relationship fresh, there is nothing that can ruin a good time faster than a cold plate of distrust. Unless your guy is doing something to make you feel insecure or disrespected, cut him a little slack.
He’s only responsible for his own actions and frankly, it’s not his fault his new co-worker looks like Adriana Lima or that his best friends’ sister came onto him. If your guy introduces you as his partner, shows that he cares about you and makes it clear he’s taken, he’s honoring you in every way possible. How would you feel if he threw punches or started an argument every time a man looked at you with adoring eyes? (And don’t kid yourself, lady, they do!)
Granted! It’s time to do a little soul-searching. Do you really think a little flirtation or a woman merely being attractive threatens the stability of your relationship? If so, take a step back and ask yourself, “What this is really about?”
Is your man really acting up, or are your insecurities getting the best of you? Taking a step back in these situations will not only show your guy he has your trust, but also that you are a secure woman who is confident in her relationship which is sexier than any set of batting lashes, I swear!
Please Stop: Analyzing Everything
We gals spend our Sunday brunches trying to figure out what he means, what he’s thinking and how to respond. Here are the answers: Exactly what he said, work/sports/that funny YouTube video and honestly.
What He Wants: Take Him at Face Value
I know you won’t believe me, but men are pretty straightforward creatures. Ever hear two men arguing and one of them saying, “What did you mean by that?” Yeah, didn’t think so.
Granted! Show your guy you’re more laid back than loco and accept that every statement doesn’t have a back story. Your conversations will become lighter -- and think of all of the time you’ll have on your hands now that you won’t be wondering if his mentioning how much you liked ice cream means he thinks you are a fat cow and should join a gym. Hey, I’m just saying…
Please Stop: Expecting Him to Always Make the First Move, Plans, etc.
You lie in bed waiting for him to put the moves on and get ticked when Friday rolls around and he’s made no plans.
What He Wants: You to Take the Initiative
Welcome to 2007, ladies. We can not only manage corporations and run for president, we can (gasp!) make dinner reservations too! While the damsel role can be fun, the truth is, men love women who know what they want and are not afraid to go after it. They also love knowing that a woman cares enough about them to make the effort and pull out all of the stops for a change.
Granted! Make reservations for the new restaurant you've been dying to try or create your own "sexy night in" and surprise him with candles, lingerie, a bottle of wine and... yep, that's about it!
Please Stop: Making Him Choose Between You and His Friends
He’s Mr. Wonderful when he’s out with you, but get him around his old friend Jason and he’s lighting his farts and playing beer pong in 30 seconds flat! Why does he hang out with such a loser? He’s such a bad influence!
What He Wants: You to Respect His Relationships
You’d be hard-pressed to find a woman on the planet who likes every one of her partner’s friends, but that’s not the point. The fact is your guy is an individual who obviously feels a connection and bond with the people he has chosen to have in his life -- in addition to the one he has with you -- and just like those people need to respect your role, you need to respect theirs.
Granted! While it would be wonderful if we could all “just get along,” the fact is just because we love someone doesn’t mean we are going to love the people they love, but making an effort with those people will go a long way with your partner.
If you absolutely cannot stand to be around his friend, excuse yourself from the situation after a polite hello, or simply decline an invitation with the explanation you made previous plans and send your guy along with a hearty hello.

Long Distance Relationships...are you brave enough to handle this?



fi·an·cé

Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Middle French, from past participle of fiancer to promise, betroth, from Old French fiancier, from fiance promise, trust.

fi·an·cée
Pronunciation: "fE-"än-'sA, fE-'än-"
Function: noun
Etymology: French, feminine of fiancé

So, you finally met a boyfriend online...whom you think or hope will love you for what and who you are and vice versa. While your relationship is new and it is different because it's online based you need to ask a few questions to yourself in the way you can handle such relationship. First of, you need to know if they are sincere in their intentions. For a start you really know what intentions are but in the long run you would easily know from the way they talk to you and the means to talk to you and how much care and attention they would put in every time they communicate. Second, you might want to know if both of you can endure the distance with all the "craving to see each other feeling." Then you have to think if both of you will click in all forms of communication or when u finally meet in person. Then you try to figure what your future will be like. From my relationship of four years with a wonderful guy I met online (and the relationship is still ongoing)...I will inject my personal experience in this blog so it can aid women on how to go about what online relationship they may have. Plus, i will be lifting articles from other sites that you can also visit for more info...so, hope this all helps. If you may have comments or questions, I'm all open to that. Cheers!

Your Age Is Just Another Number

In the Philippines, whenever you add another year to your age, they ask whether the number you would give is still included in the calendar or worse, the bingo game. For mine, you would have to guess, hehe, cuz i defy my age! The thing is, if you don't feel your age, you will not look your age. I can attest to that, unless you have something going personal against me, but objectively, if you know me and my age, you will agree that what i'm saying is true, true? Save your answer for the comment and if you have a disagreement you're not invited to my birthday celebration - hahahaha, if there is any! LOL! Seriously, if you are having problems about your looks, try changing the way you think or look at yourself. If you want see yourself as vibrant, full of life and sexy...start feeling that way...next...start living that way. Eat healthy, exercise regularly and present yourself, by your clothes and the way you move and talk the same way you want people to see you. You will be surprised that people will start seeing you the same way. It really works! You might even want to start that by talking to yourself and convincing yourself in front of the mirror. Nah, if you worry about people thinking that you're going nuts doing that, please don't forget to close the door LOL! But yeah, you have to start from scratch just to change your attitude towards yourself. As for my age...it's just a number...honestly i don't feel it, i'm stuck with age 22...so if you ask how old i am...(with a shrug) What did i just say?

"Don't cry because it's over, SMILE because it happened"

My fiancé once gave me this quote and all i felt about it was it's scary, it seemed like letting a loved one go - something i never would want to happen. I realized lately that it can mean many ways. Just recently he came to visit me and stayed for 4 weeks - 30 days of total bliss! Come last day (he was even late for his flight, because we totally got confused - so we had to re-sked it LOL), we were shipped back to reality that he had to go back to the US (and of course we have to save for our wedding day later this year) we had a hard time separating ourselves from each other at the airport, both holding back tears because the vacation is finally over. For days i cried - ahhh - separation anxiety !!! - how i hate it, just then i remembered this quote. We consoled each other with the thought that it's a temporary separation and we're at the last leg of our journey, the next meeting will make us permanent couples, building a life - a family, together. Now I got this smile back, for he came to be with me for a while and made good memories...tears are fading fast...we're welcoming the days to come of being together for good.

FLIRT!!! But only with each other....

There's nothing more exciting than keeping a relationship strongly going...One best way is to FLIRT with each other. People who have gone through tough times will only say that couples should never stop the wooing...do it out of habit...but keep it interesting and full of surprises...always remember that Good Love & Marriage is like a campfire, both grow cold when left unattended... never take it for granted, you are married to a person not an object...both of you have feelings...and thats what led you to each other. "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the SAME PERSON." Now a note for men: "An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have. The older she gets,the more interested he is in her"
