Oh My Pretty Pretty Boy I love you!


Yes!


You read it right!


Finally, we knew it!


Heaven heard the prayer of Daddy Joseph!


WE ARE EXPECTING BABY BOY!


Although, I want Baby Girl, but knowing I am carrying FIRST BOY in our family gives me additional excitement!


I love you my Baby Boy!


Oh, My Pretty Pretty Boy I love you!


I can't contain it anymore, so am shouting it to the whole world how happy I am, and how I long to see you face to face!


I dedicate this song for you my Baby!


I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind


I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start


Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you


I used to write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometime I think I hear you call
Right from my bedroom wall


You stay a little while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make you mine
To reach out for you in time


Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you


Oh pretty boy
Say you love me too


Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy
I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
Make me stay right beside you

Today Marked our 8th Year Bf-Gf Anniversary

June 6, 2010, early morning, husband and I greeted each other with a warm hug and kiss, because today is our 8th year anniversary as boyfriend and girlfriend.


For other married couples, the date when they became officially steady might be forgotten or ignored already, but not for the two of us. This date means so much for the two of us.


Eight years of staying in love, eight years of happiness with of course times of trials that made us more stronger.


Kanina nung niyakap niya ako, sabi niya, "Happy 8 year anniversary Mahal, sana tayo na ang magkatuluyan". Then we both laughed.


Kasi every anniversary namin before, that is both our wish, na dumating yung time, that we can truly say, na kami na nga talaga.


There are couples who went steady for more than 3years, 5 years, 7 years, and even 10years, pero in the end, di din pala sila ang destined together as partner in life. That's why we are so thankful and grateful to God who's been with us for the 8 fruitful years of our life as partners. Lagi namin Siyang kasama sa aming relationship.


We give back to you our Dear Lord God, our Father, our Friend, our Adviser all the praises and glory!


Now, let me share some facts about the two of us:


When, where we exactly became boyfriend-girlfriend?


- That was June 6, 2002. We had our first out of town trip to Subic, Olongapo. We walked along the beach (Boardwalk). As I have told the full story in this blog, you can just read it to know the details.


Terms of endearment?


-At first he called me french fries and I called him ketchup. I wanted that time for him to call me angel and me to call him heaven (tabing ilog days), but later on he started calling me "Mahal", na until eto pa din tawagan namin. Now, that we are expecting our first baby, sometimes we call each other, Mommy and Daddy, lalo na kausap namin si baby, para masanay na siya.


Favorite Place to hang out?


-Siempre, panlasang Pilipino, at home sa Jollibee! (simple lang naman kami, masaya na kami sa french fries at ketchup, hahahaha)


First Gift?


-He gave me Hello Kitty Stuff toy and I gave him Bench Shirt with the CD of our Personal Favorite Love Songs. If you want to listen, here's the link.


Biggest trial? (pakihanda ang tissue...hehe)


-It seems the world is against the two of us. It's very dramatic. At first, we really need to fight our feelings, ipagsigawan sa buong mga nakapaligid sa amin, that we really love each other. Madalas namin marinig, na hindi kami bagay, na mas may mahahanap pa akong nararapat sa akin kaysa kay Joseph. Lagi nilang sinasabi, sayang ang tinapos ko, sayang ang pinag-aralan ko, kung sa tulad lang niya ako mapupunta. Lagi akong napapaiyak nung mga times na yun, but never I was affected by what they are saying. Hanggang nakikita kong mahal ako ni Joseph, wala siyang masamang ginagawa sa akin at sa kapwa tao. I dont mind the status, kung mayroon mang gap sa aming dalawa. Masyado lang mapanghusga ang mga tao, lagi ko sinasabi kay Joseph that time, hindi ka nila kilala, hindi nila alam kung sino ang tunay na Joseph, ang alam lang nila, kakaunti tungkol sa kanya, na ginamit nila upang husgahan siya. He graduated 2year Computer technician course, and after college, he worked as Factory worker, na ako naman, graduated Bs Accountancy and board passer with a good position sa aking first work. Yan, ang laging pinagdidiinan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa amin. So, he decided na magtuloy ulit ng pag-aaral at kumuha ng 4year course, para sa akin, para sa sarili niya at para mas may makuha siyang magandang trabaho. That is more than enough sa akin na mapatunayan niya how he want to prove himself. I didnt forced him to do that, siya ang nagdecide sa sarili niya. The issue between, continued until makatapos siya ng pag-aaral, habang kami, nag-aaral siya, at hanggang sa makatapos siya. That was the time naman, that I decided to work abroad. Kaya naiwan siya. But God is so good, we are both praying, na dumating time na magkasama kami, makapagstart na ng aming pamilya. He started applying for jobs abroad, and before the time na makatanggap siya ng tawag, our company just in time needed somebody and asked me to recommend kung sino pwede, kaya nakarating si Joseph dito.


Now, we have passed the trials, we have proven them that they are all wrong, its our 8th years of being together. Silang mga naninira sa amin, malamang natahimik na, we are happy and we just wish na happy na din sila sa kanilang mga buhay. Just fight for the feeling and for the love kung alam mong pure and sincere.


Happiest Moment


-Our Wedding Day of course, kasi meron na kaming bendition from God, from our parents, from our whole family and from our friends, and makapagstart na kami to have our family of our own na noon pa namin pangarap.


Memorable Moments together


-I will just share to you some pictures of us noon, and tell stories behind it.


(Taken on my company's Christmas Party in Dinalupihan, Bataan- see we are both payat here)



(House of my dear friend Tel in Tortugas. Pareho na kaming long hair)




(Bagac Bay beach resort, our barkada outing, Joseph has bulutong that time)



(Joseph's graduation Day STI College)





(Our barkada went to Baguio City)




(Mall of Asia - for my Passport Appearance)



(Last picture before I flew to Dubai)



(Reunited in Dubai after 2 years- Dubai International Airport)




This sums up, what we've been through for the past 8years.


We know, we still have more years to be together. On our 9th year, we have our little baby celebrating with us already! This is our precious gift from heaven. Ang bunga ng aming pagmamahalan. Baby, we love you!


We have planned to celebrate it on Friday, kasi we both have work today. Atleast on friday we can celebrate it na mas mahaba. Hindi mabitin sa time.


Thank you Lord once again!


Happy Sunday to everyone!

Isang Tanong, Isang Sagot Part 2 (Slumbook)

Can you still remember, when you had first answer a slumbook or sometimes called as Autograph?


Naalala ko, as early as Grade III, dami ko nang nasagutan na slumbook, hehehe...usually, girl classmates will ask you to sign, tapos nakakatawa na alalahanin, while answering, lalo na yung part ng crush, first love, imagine? ke babata eh mga kiri na! (hahahha :))


I like reading the answers of my other classmates and friends as well, why? una, tignan agad ung crush nila, madalas CODE NAMES pa ilalagay or kaya, INITIAL NG NAMES into NUMBERS, like 6-7, or 7-9...hahahaha :)) Then, come to the part ng AMBITIONS, GOALS, minsan nangongopya ako, honestly, kasi, wala pa ako idea before, what I want to become that time.


Now, that am mature enough, i want to give it a try once more! Kung nasa Pinas lang ako, I can scan my my sister's autograph, where I signed there, oh di ba, natabi pa ng kapatid ko yun, eh elementary pa ako nun... tawa ako ng tawa pag nababasa ko ung mga sinulat ko dun, lalo na yung message ko for my sister...

Baby's Update 16 weeks


Hello everyone!


Musta sa inyong lahat?


I'd been off from writing these past days, dahil if you are not aware, 1 week akong nagkasakit. Matinding sipon, sakit ng ulo, at lagnat, in short trangkaso. Eto na ang pinakamahaba kong sick leave, dahil diretsong one week tlaga akong di nakapasok. Kung hindi lang ako buntis, I can still work and ignore yung nararamdaman ko, but ngayon, hindi na sarili lang ang iniisip ko, am thinking of my baby. Bawal pa naman magkasakit pag buntis, kasi as much as possible, di talaga pwedeng uminom ng medicine, although there are medicine na safe naman sa baby. Pero, mas pinili namin ni Joseph na, do not take any medication, except sa water theraphy, juice, fruits, total bed rest. Kaya whole week siya nag-alaga sa amin ni baby.


On my 2nd day of sickness, that was Monday, kasi Saturday ako ng gabi sinimulang sipunin, tawag na agad ako sa Obgyne ko, to schedule for a check up, pero what happened, she's not available kasi nasa travel siya for a week. I asked the other ObGyne, from different clinic recommended by a friend, kaya Tuesday, we went there, dahil naschedule ako ng 12 noon.


Sobrang init sa labas, kaya, nahilo na naman ako, and unfortunately, mga 11:30 nasa clinic na kami, pero nagkaroon ng emergency delivery ng isang pasyente, and the doctor cannot anymore attend to me.Wahhhh....naiyak talaga ako. Tatawagan ulit ako, kung maging available ng evening kung hindi the following day na lang.


Wednesday, praise God, pareho na available ang 2 ObGyne, kaya mas pinili na namin ung tlagang doctor ko from the start. At salamat sa Lord, our baby is ok. Ung development niya, ok naman sa dapat na progress niya at 16 weeks. Nakita ko pa siya, sumisipa sipa, stretching the legs, and duduyan duyan sa loob, parang sinsabi sa akin, Mommy, ok lang ako, relax ka lang.



The doctor gave me, Vitamin C and Flu Tab (safe for the baby), pero Vitamin C lang ang binili namin, since maayos ayos na din pakiramdam ko that day. Ayaw tlaga namin inom ako ng medicine.


Thursday, I have recovered already, meron na sigla ulit katawan ko, siguro, kasi, nalaman kong ayos naman si baby, pero di na din ako pumasok, to complete my rest.


Today is a brand new day for me! I am completely healed by God!


Am excited for the next week, namiss ko ang office, namiss ko magwork, namiss ko mga officemates ko!


Here's a short kwento about what happened for the past weeks:


May 13, 2010 is Our General Manager's 45th Birthday





May 14, 2010, my husband's first time to PRESIDE in our Church (very proud kami ni Baby sa iyo Daddy) Kahit pinakaba mo kami ni baby



Yung iba, sa sunod na kwento na lang ulit, baka mabinat si Mommy Joanne, hihihi!


Happy Weekend Everyone!

Happy Mother's day Nanay ko!

Happy Mother's Day Nanay!


I love you higit pa sa alam niyo.



Maraming maraming salamat sa pagmamahal niyo sa akin, sa pag-aalala niyo sa akin, sa pagpapalaki niyo sa akin, sa pagpapalakas ng loob sa akin, sa pagtitiwala niyo sa akin, sa pagiging masaya sa mga bagay na ikinasasaya ko, at pagluha sa tuwing ako ay nasasaktan.



Ikaw ang unang nagmahal sa akin, at alam kong siyang patuloy na nagmamahal sa akin.


Miss na miss na tlaga kita.


Ang pagtwag mo ng Bunso sa akin.


Ang paggising ng maaga, at pagsama sa iyo sa palengke, dahil ako lang ang may tiyagang sumama sa inyo, at makipagsisikan sa mga tao, habang nakikita ko kung gaano kahirap na ikaw ay mag-isip na ihahanda para sa amin, para lamang kami ay masiyahan sa pagkain.


Namimiss ko ang iyong masasarap na luto, na hindi ko malasahan sa kahit pinakamamahaling restaurant dito sa Dubai. The best cook ka talaga nanay.



Miss na miss ko na rin ang iyong mababaw na luha, na lalong namana ko sa iyo, pagiging maramdamin, sa mga simpleng pag-aasar namin nila Tatay sau, at bandang huli ay lalambingin ka namin lahat.


Namimiss ko din ang paggagala natin sa SM, at lalo't higit, kung saan ka namin hahanapin pag nagkahiwa-hiwalay na tayo... 3 tindahan lang, alam na namin kung asan ka... Kung hindi sa mga TSINELAS, sa WALLET, o kaya sa BAG...yan lang ang mga simpleng kaligayahan mo, na sa tuwing uuwi na tayo galing sa pamimili, tutuksuhin ka namin, at sasabhin na namin, hmmmm.. si nanay, alam na namin binili niyan, tsinelas??? bag??? wallet???


Hay, napakasimpleng Nanay, ni hindi ko, nakitaan ng kayabangan sa katawan, napakadaling lapitan, may maamong puso, at malambot sa mga ngangailangan, na kahit ilang beses na siyang, hindi binayran, sige pa din sa pagtulong, pikit mata, kaya naman ang Diyos ang nagpapala sa kanya.


Isang Nanay na hindi kailanman naghinala, kundi buo ang pagtitiwala sa aming magkakapatid, kaya naman, sinuklian namin, ng pagtatapat at pagsasabi ng katotohanan. Maraming magulang ang di pumapayag sa mga anak, lalo na kung overnight, pero hindi si nanay, basta alam niya kung saan pupunta, kung sino sino ang mga kasama, sguro dahil buo ang tiwala niya sa aming magkakapatid.


Nay, ngayon, magiging Lolagets ka na, sana man lang, mapanamahan mo ako, ng husay mo sa pagpapalaki sa amin nila Ate at Dite, ng galing sa pagluluto, ng tiyaga sa pagtatrbaho, na hanggang sa ngayon ay walang tigil sa pananahi para lamang, may pandagdag sa gastusin at pagtitinda sa aming mini grocery. Sa iyong napakahusay na pakikisama sa mga kamag-anak, kaibigan, at kapitbahay, makuha naman iyon.


Ikaw ang aking tinitingala.! mahal na mahal kita Nanay ko!


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY din sa aking INANG!




At sa lahat ng mga ina sa buong mundo, MALIGAYANG ARAW NG MGA INA! Mabuhay kayong lahat!

How Would Our Baby Look Like?

Sound weird isn't it?


My baby is now 14 weeks, and one thing is on my mind now, how would our baby look like?


Kamukha kaya ni Daddy Joseph, or kamukha ni Mommy Joanne?


I often told husband, mas gusto ko kamukha niya maging mga babies namin, pero kunin na lang lahat ng talents ng mommy niya, hahahahahaha! Sasabihin ng asawa ko, ay! kaswerteng bata! ARTISTAHIN yan....and we will end up laughing!


Kasi naman, take a look at my pictures nung bata ako, I call myself UGLY DUCKLING talaga, maitim, na payat na malaki mata, at wish ko lang, wag naman ganon si baby namin.


Joseph is cute nung bata, ngayon gwapo na daw siya, sabi niya! hahaha...pagbigyan!


I'll share some of our "LARAWANG KUPAS" and look our metamorphosis!


This is our oldest pics.... I am less than 1 year old and husband celebrated his 1st Birthday!





Parehong kupas na, pero nakakatuwang alalahanin, hmmm...ano kaya ang baby namin, KALBO tulad ko or KULOT tulad ng Daddy niya?


Then here is our next pictures,


I am more or less 3years old here, and Joseph is more or less 4years old, sosyal si Joseph, sabi niya, every birthday niya, his grandma will send him sa studio to take a shot of him! kahit nasa kalagitnaan siya ng laro, tatawagin siya. Ako naman, eto, bata pa lang, iyakin na...Look, kahit kakaiyak, pinicturan ako jan with my Nanay!






Next pictures, i am already on my KG, meaning am 6years old. That is our Christmas Party! Look at my bangs, parang niruler...and Joseph is wearing his uniform, good boy! idol niya ata si Samboy Lim, kaya haba ng socks niya!





Then our elementary photos.... Joseph joined Boy Scout, and this time I am into sports and other school activities, kaya slim na slim ako!






We both have happy childhood memories, and we promise, we will let our children experience the joy, laughter, normal life of a child.


We want to give our children our best to make them God fearing, good sons and daughters!


Last pictures, is the end of our childhood days, where we both graduated our 6th Grade, same YEAR, same BATCH , in 1993!


Baby, look at Mommy me medal, sana you'll be a smart kid as well, and look at Daddy, me diploma, hehehe! (husband peace!) sabi ni husband, humble daw siya, kaya yung dapat medal niya pinamigay na lang niya sa classmates niya! hahahaha!






We live in same town and province, me and husband, kaya alam namin, where our baby will grow up and spend childhood days!


We can't wait to see our baby, playing, going to school, running here and there, seeing our baby growing in the God's way!


Me as a Mom, can't wait to see how our baby would look like! So while browsing the net, I suddenly went on this page, www.makemebabies.com and just tried kung ano magiging hitsura ng baby namin!


They asked me to upload my Photo and Joseph's Photo!


So, I uploaded these photos!


Dad's Photo Mom's Photo











And after, few seconds, the result of our BABY BOY made me laugh and made me more excited!


Check how our baby look like.... BABY JJ




So what can you say about our Baby?


Astig di ba? He has taken the eyes of his dad, but oh no! my nose....I really like his hair! very cool! If Joseph saw this picture. he'll definitely tell me, see, ARTISTAHIN anak natin...


Hay, very funny day!


Have a nice week everyone!



UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!


I tried once again, this www.makemebabies.com and used different photo of ours, and this time, i want to give it a try for a baby girl... and see what is the result!

Oh di ba, mukha lang naman silang kambal ng baby brother niya....hihihihihi... Kaaliw talaga, consistent, eyes is from Joseph and nose comes from me!


Oh I love you babies!

My First Trimester is Completed - Things to Share




Praise God! Thank you Lord, I have completed my First Trimester.


Ang bilis din, 12 weeks had passed already. Sinasabing ang first trimester ang pinakadelikado at sensitibo sa pagbubuntis, and I have proven it. Kahit di ko pa nalalagpasan ang ibang stages, pero ngayon pa lang masasabi kong kailangan talaga ng dobleng ingat.


I am still waiting for the result of my laboratory test, tomorrow ko daw malaman, they have done urine analysis and blood test to me. Pakisama na lang kami sa prayers na normal naman lahat.


At this point, gusto ko magshare sa mga moms-to-be, yung mga nagpaplanong magkaroon ng baby in the future, o ngayon eh nag eexpect na anytime soon ng kanilang baby. This is based on my personal experience plus the experience of my friends.


As I have shared before, I have experience spotting on my 7th week of pregnancy, kaya napilitan akong magrest dahil ayaw kong malagay sa risk si Baby, i can afford to loose my job, but never my baby. Salamat sa Lord, and to my company, kasi they allowed me to keep both, maluwag na schedule sa work at the same time, I can fully take care of baby and myself.


Spotting is not normal, as what others are saying. This is really a BIG THING pagdating sa pregnant women.


Do not ever TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.. Dahil it may LEAD to a MORE SERIOUS CASE.


I want to share to you a TRUE STORY, kung bakit ko ito nasasabi.


TWO WEEKS ago, my friend was confirmed PREGNANT 7 weeks. Siempre, lahat masaya dahil it is A GIFT OF LIFE. They have waited for their second baby for 4years already. I can see and feel the joy of my friend and her husband.


A WEEK after, I received a call from her, asking me about my spotting kasi, that night, she found some brown blood and naalala niya, gantong ganto ang kinuwento ko sa kanya about my experience. Then, that morning, drops of red blood already , which is exactly same case with me.


So, I asked her couple of questions.


Lumalakad ba siya ng malayo?


Stressed ba siya?


Meron ba siyang other activities that require her to move?


Almost YES lahat ang sagot niya.


So, advised ko agad, she need to rest, as in rest talaga, kung pwedeng wag muna siyang pumasok, gawin niya, kasi di pwedeng balewalain ang ganung case.


I asked her to call, her ObGyne also, para mas masabi niya yung case niya. And I even gave the contact number of my own ObGyne, kasi mas malapit pareho sa house namin.


Then, that whole day, I was thinking of her. Praying for her and her baby.


THAT SAME EVENING, I received an SMS from her'


"WALA na si Baby, me lumabas na malaking blood, and the doctor says, iyon na yun."


Nanlamig talaga ako, when I read that message from her, sobrang nalungkot ako, dahil sa nangyari sa kanya.


Ganon lang kabilis, pwedeng pwede talaga, na mangyari. Napahawak ako sa tiyan ko, pati si Joseph, kinausap agad namin si Baby, to hold on and wag bibitiw sa tiyan ng Mommy.


I send her message and asked to consult the doctor and to have ultrasound para madouble check. She replied and said na, nagpaultrasound na nga sila, and blood test at iyon ang confirmation ng Doctor, wala na ang baby nila.


Hindi ko na siya ulit nakausap, kasi I know how she's feeling that time, hindi na ako nagtanong ng marami pang gumugulo sa isip ko, why it happened? what are the possible causes?


THE NEXT MORNING, I send her email, asking how she is.


Then there, she told me some things that I also want to share to all of you.


POSSIBLE CAUSES:


(1) Hindi niya alam na pregnant siya, kaya nung time na sinipon, nilagnat at inubo siya, she took antibiotic and medicine para sa sakit niya.


(2) She's drinking coffee lagi lagi, she's a coffee drinker, since di niya alam buntis siya


(3) Meron silang housemate na smoker


(4) Wala din siyang enough rest, malikot pa nga daw siya at magalaw dahil nga di naman niya alam na buntis siya



She admitted, dami niyang lessons learned sa nangyari, ang nakakatuwa lang, yung faith nilang mag-asawa sa Lord, na naniniwala silang "THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING, MAY IT BE SAD OR HAPPY."


Isip din nila, baka magkadiperensya lang din si baby kung mabuhay ito, dahil nga hindi niya naingatan in the frist 3months of her pregnancy, which is very important sa development ng baby.


Kaya, sa mga nagpaplan na magbuntis, NGAYON pa lang, INGATAN niyo na, what you are EATING, DRINKING, as much as possible, DONT TAKE ANY DRUGS, this is not for the wife only, but for the husbands as well.


Once your period is delayed, TAKE EXTRA CARE, kasi, you'll never know, kung kelan mabubuo si baby.


At mag PREGNANCY TEST agad, to detect earlier kung pregnant ka, para makainom ka agad ng prenatal vitamins which is helpful for you and the baby.


AT ONCE CONFIRMED na PREGNANT ka, TAKE EXTRA EXTRA CARE, lalo na sa FIRST 3MONTHS. Avoid yung magtrabaho ng mabibigat and carry heavy objects. Eat healthy FOOD and have enough rest.


BABY is A GIFT FROM GOD, how we take care of the BABY, is our GIFT to our GOD!


BIGBOY - My Long Lost Friend (UPDATED)!

January 21, 2010 when I made an entry titled Name that Tune.


In that, I have mentioned persons, events in my life that comes into my mind whenever I hear a particular song.


Number 6 on the Top Ten (10) Countdown, is my Long Lost Friend Bigboy.


Here is what I have written about him


6- Now and Forever by Richard Marx reminds me of Bigboy


Whenever I'm weary, from the battle that rage in my head, You make sense of madness When my sanity hangs by a thread.


I don't have his pictures anymore here in Dubai. I've lost contact with him also, when my email address was hacked. He deleted his friendster account before due to his personal reasons. Hope to get in touch with him again.


He's my childhood friend, we were classmates from Grade 2 up to Grade 6. We were living in same compound and we attend the same church. We were playmates as well, simula sa mga inosenteng mga laro nung mga bata pa kami, hanggang sa nagkaisip na kami pareho. Hanggang maaari, ayaw kong lumalim yung feelings ko sa kanya, because I know, one day, aalis din siya and he will go to Australia where his Mom is living. Lumipas ang mga taon, but his visa is still waiting, mas nauna pang nahulog ang loob namin sa isa't isa.


Until that day came, aalis na siya, I was crying that night when he inform me he will be leaving anytime, just waiting for the ticket. He told me, to wait for him. Hay,,,, ewan ko ba kung ilan kaming sinabihan....hahahaha! But I take it seriously, I've waited for him for couple of years, we were writing regularly, he is calling me in our house, even recording in voice tape and sending it to me and I can remember always ending niya sa akin is "Now and Forever, I will be your man." Yun kasi song niya sa akin. He has good voice, and we even sang a duet in the church. After 2 years, no more mails, no more letters, no more phone calls, and I have no choice but to move on with my life...But now, no more regrets....... reminiscing lang, ahihihi... Hope to have a contact with him again.


Yesterday, April 20,2010, I had send an FB message to an elementary classmate-friend, Sheryl, and after exchanging couple of messages, I suddenly remember Bigboy, once again. Bakit nga ba???? Bakit nga ba, ngayon ko lang naalala si Sheryl, siya nga pala ang never ever nawalan ng communication kay Bigboy...


I am so thankful kay Lord, for reminding me Sheryl, because of her, I got Bigboy's contact. His email add.


I invited him in my YM Contact, hoping one day, he will add me up. I send also a short offline message "Bigboy, oy!"


Today, April 21,2010, I was surprised when an Instant Message appeared in my screen. It was him!




And we chat, and chat for couple of hours.


We both miss chatting and mag-asaran.


Of course, wala ng something romantic-ek ek, kamustahan na lang, and update sa isa't isa.


I send a link to him, regarding my blog about him, and nakakatawa, he send me his photo, at ako ay muntik nang malaglag sa kinakaupuan ko, when I saw his picture. Akala ko, kriminal, hahaha! peace Bigboy!



Sa picture pa lng, I know, ganon na pala katagal we lost contact, ang laki na ng pinagbago niya. Yung katawan niya dating patpatin, sakitin, at tingting na dinamitan (that's how i call him, para asarin nung bata kami) eh, ibang-iba na. Imagine ba naman, 16years na ang nakalipas, if I am not mistaken.


Hay, Bigboy.... salamat at muli kitang nahanap....


I told him, para akong nawalan ng treasure for long time, and one day, nakita ko ulit! Ganon ako kasaya having contact with him again. Ganon din ako sa kanya, we both hope, one day, magkita ulit kami, kahit saan...basta magkita ulit kami.


Yehey, baby, we found your Ninong Bigboy! Another Early Birthday Present for me.



P.S.


Ibyang and Bhenie, he is living in Sydney, sabi ko, sana magkakilala kayo,nabanggit ko kayo sa kanya, he's a very nice guy, mameet niyo sana siya then share with me... hehehe



UPDATE:


Today, April 23, 2010, He sent me his latest picture, kuha niya before pumunta sa work, para maiba naman daw ang tingin sa kanya... hahaha! peace Bigboy!
