happy birthday, hon

December 15, 1980 : Rafael Cagado Laylay was born. I did not expect that I will end up a life with him. It was really God-made. I used to call him "Kuya Raffy" when I was young because he's older and I am her parents' god-daughter. He's my childhood crush back then. Weird but true. Back in our boyfriend-girlfriend stage, our families used to find our relationship weird because we are "magkina-kapatid" they say. However, it has not been a problem for us. Maybe because we're in love in spite of anything else. 


Now, aside from my husband being my greatest love and partner in life, I also sooo love Piolo Pascual. :D I even have the craziest hallucination in life and that is: My husband, Rafael Laylay bears a resemblance to Piolo Pascual. For my eyes only. Funny me! :D 


Better late than never. This is my belated happy birthday post for you. Belated happy birthday to Piolo too last January. My bad, I haven't been blogging for some time but at least I'm updating it now. ;D

Happy birthday, Hon! I love you, Piolo! :D

Ay, I love you, hon! ;D

♥ on our fourth year ♥

Ephesians 5 - "21Submit yourselves to one another because of your reverence for Christ. 22Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands as to the Lord. 25Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it."

The Lord has always been the reason we are still together, growing fonder. He never leave us empty handed and He's been our source of strength as well as grace. We were first blessed with our eldest son, Elijah then we got married. Yes, we were not an ideal couple who took vows first but for us, ours was special. We gave all our best to surpass difficulties and successfully won over challenges. Thanks be to God! May he keep us stronger, together.

Thanks for the flowers!

Now, we are happier and our family is bigger. November 26th 2010, I gave birth to our second/youngest son, Van. We celebrated our 4th year anniversary by being just together in a special dinner. We didn't go anywhere since I need to recover. Yet, our anniversary went well and it was something that we will remember and cherish for the rest of our days. =) We'll surely make more memories together also with our kids.

 I love you and will always do. ♥

Hon, life has never been the same from the time I stepped out of my comfort zone and started a new life with you. We have had our ups and downs like any other couples in the world yet we're standing still and strong. I'm ready for more because not a single problem is bigger than our God. I will try my best not to argue with you over some not-so-like-a-married-man things you do but I hope you would also put it to an end or at least try to pass up. I know you can do it! ;)

I look forward to the coming days, months and years with you and our kids. 

May God continue to nourish and strengthen our marriage.

let's continue

As promised, here' the continuation...

After the movie, we bought some stuff for ourselves then we ate at Kenny Rogers. We're so full to finish everything.

Picture, picture muna habang nagpapababa ng kinain...



Then, we head to Toy Kingdom to buy some gifts and pasalubong at the same for Elijah.

Siya yung wrapping personnel. First shot, sabi niya, "Ay, sayang Ma'am di ako nakatingin.." Then on the second shot, nagpose na talaga sya with the toys that he'll be wrapping for our baby. Ang kulit mo, Kuya. lol!

Right after that, umuwi na kami. Late na nga ko for the practice. Buti na lang ok lang sa FCF music ministry. Thanks, guys. Antok na rin si Raffy kasi he came all the way from work. Everything went happy and fine.



Here's Elijah while opening his gifts. Happy 2nd birthday, baby! We love you!
