THE SIGNS
I know only few people believed on signs and i am one amongst them because of these things:
(just a brief history, our story won't fit the memory of friendster hehehe)
When I was 9 years old i told myself, when I grow up and have a BF, he's the one meant for me if:
1. He gives me shirt ;

2. He gives me a diamond ring; and

3. i'll feel the Magic on our first KISS

But then after some years, i've forgotten all about this...

I know it sounded too typical, simple and ordinary and any boyfriend could give it just for a vague reason. Specially that shirt is very commonly given as a gift to gfs or bfs. But hey, would you believe nobody among mg BFs then gave me this stuff? I received shoes, jewelries, flowers, chocolates and other stuffs but nobody gave me a shirt. Oh I received a ring from a Bf then, but it wasn't diamond either..and the kiss? hmm sorry.. but.. no magic...

Until.. I've met Abner Ponciano...Of the relationships i had, he's the only one who gave me a shirt. After 4 months of being together, when he got back from his trip to baguio, he had me this knitted shirt (I still keep it). When he handed it over, i remembered what i told my self when I was 9.. hmm, is he the one? hehehe

During the course of our relationship I always tell him never to give me a ring (forgetting my 9 yr. old child idea)cuz we might not end up together (i knew a lot of couple who exchanged rings and then hit up their separate ways with matching batuhan ng ring.. and i don't want that to happen to us). But on our 5th year, he stubbornly gave me a diamond ring asking me to marry him. Take note! sa yellow jeepney nya binigay!!at nakikita and naririnig ng mga pasahero!! hahaha metioning romantic!! (there's actually another story about this RIng thing--soon).. well,ding!dong!another sign there, the ring!!

Oh, I won't forget to mention the 3rd sign.. I felt the MAGIC, when he first KISSed me. It might sound silly to others, but hey i really felt it, and he said he did too. After our first kiss he and I was like.."ano yun? bakit ganun? " It was such a strange feeling i never felt before, that it seemed like everything stopped like literally and it felt like my heart stopped beating, na parang nabibingi ako na...basta it was so unexplainably magical.

We have gone through a lot of trials back in our pre-marital relationship, just like any other typical relationships we had some ups and downs but never in more than 6 years that we broke up. We didn't have massive fights at all, things were pretty much peaceful and everything were discussed over and ironed at the end of the day.

After 6 years and 4 months, we tied the knot on December 29, 2006. August 9 is still one important date for both of us and we still celebrate it aside from our wedding anniversary.We don't regret settling because we are actually living happily and i know it will be ever after.
