The Husband …

… my energizer bunny :)

The husband was out last night with his college friends. He went home at 3am, woke up at 5am and went to the farm (an hour and a half drive) to meet with a client. He was back home by 10am, took a bath and drove me, Sophia and yaya (driver is on day-off) all the way to my parent’s house in Pampanga (a 3 hour drive because of traffic). He took me to the movies (which he hates) in the afternoon and some coffee and good conversation after.

This is so long overdue, sorry Jade! Been quite pre-occupied lately :)
Anyway, let me put a twist to this tag. Since Jon and I are celebrating our 3rd year wedding anniversary today, let me share with you 8 facts about us and our relationship. Game?
In the 8 facts about [Jon and Jane], we share 8 things that our readers don’t know about us. Then at the end we tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going. Each blogger must post these rules first.
Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
8 Random Facts about Jon and Jane:

(sorry I just have to post this pic, reminiscing eh, hehehe)

1. Jon and I have been together for 7 years now. We were bf-gf for 4 years before we finally tied the knot in July 2004.
2. Jon and I met in school, UST. We were taking up different courses but we had the same professor for advertising and we had 3 joint sessions. That’s where and how we met.
3. We were both committed to other people when we met. How we ended up together is a mystery hahahahahaha.
4. Jon and I were going out for 9 months before we finally became an item :) O diba, di ako easy to get, lol. We just regarded each other as “friend” (daw!) all the time. In those 9 months, we were practically together every single day! He’d always drop by my dorm after his class, everyday :)
5. If you still don’t know by now, Jon’s a workaholic while I’m the queen of indolence, lol. He works while I stay home with our little princess, Sophia. He provides every single moohlah here in the house ;p
6. We’re both the possesive and jealous type :p Now that we’re married though, medyo not so much anymore.
7. In our relationship, Jon always gives in during our arguments. He finds that there’s no point in arguing with me coz I would probably make up all the reasons and excuses in the world to get him see my point and let him believe I’m the one who’s right. According to him, waste of time daw to argue with me.
8. In decision-making, I always always ask his opinion on anything. Not because I need to but because I just want to. This has become a habit already.
Here’s to more kids (soon!) and years of marital bliss!
Have a break and tag yourself :)

The Trip

July 25, 2007 | stage mom in Daily Musings, Marital Bliss, Sophia's World, Travels, goings-on | 10 Comments |
Jon changed his mind. We’re likely to push through with our Australia Trip come October, if granted a visa (pls pls pls!). I was both excited and anxious at the same time when Jon told me about it. Excited because I simply love to travel and it’ll be my first time to visit the land down under. Anxious because it’ll be Sophia’s first long haul flight and I’m wondering if it’ll be as smooth as our previous flights which the longest travel time was only for 3 hours and 30 minutes. But nevertheless, I’m sure it’ll be one great travel experience for the three of us.
This (supposed trip) has kept me busy for days now. I’ve been researching endlessly for nice hotels with good location in both Sydney and Goldcoast. I have called several travel agencies too to get some quotations. So far so good. Visa na lang ang kulang! Hopefully we’ll get to process that by next week or so. I really wish they grant us visas so we can push through with the trip.
Having this trip also means one thing. We’re going to make baby number 2! LOL. Great timing since as I checked the Chinese Calendar, I’m expected to have a baby boy if I conceive by October this year. O diba? Everything is falling into place, hahaha. Wish us luck!

Jon lost his wedding ring today :(

dvds and compatibility

May 7, 2007 | stage mom in Daily Musings, Marital Bliss, Pastime | No Comments |
Jon’s been really a dvd addict. For sometime now, all he does at home every night is to watch HEROES. This show is now his favorite after finishing watching …

~Prison Break
~Greys Anatomy
~CSI
~The Unit
~Dr. House
~OC
~Jericho
~Boston Legal
~Nip/Tuck

Not that I’m complaining though. I’d rather have him in the house than elsewhere :) Good thing we’re really both homebodies. That’s why, with all conviction, I would really say that compatibility is THE ONE great factor in a happy marriage. Some might find us boring, our life boring, but it doesn’t really matter as long as we’re both not those people. We’re happy as is :)
So, for me, opposites really don’t attract you know, not in the long run.

on being a stay-at-home-mom

March 30, 2007 | stage mom in Daily Musings, Marital Bliss, Me Myself and I | 8 Comments |
I am and was never the career-woman type. I just know.

Growing up with a mom who was working was something I was proud of but it was also something I knew, deep in my heart, I would rather not do. I love my mom and I have every bit of respect for her and what she had acomplished and been able to provide us. She’s still the best mom in the world for me eventhough there were countless times I would have loved her presence. I remember one incident when I was in kindergarten and we had a program where I was playing Mama Mary, she barely saw my stint. She came really late. I’m sure there’s a reasonable excuse behind that though. But still, as a child, I wouldn’t have really understood back then why.

My greatest frustration of all, because my mom was working, she didn’t really have the luxury of time to take me to school and more so, fetch me. Such simple thing that could have meant so much to me then.

And now, as I hope to be the best mom in the world for Sophia too, I’m taking a different path. I choose to be a stay-at-home-mom in the meantime. I choose to take my daughter to school everyday. I choose to pick her up everyday from school too. I choose to be present every single school program, be it small or big. I choose to attend every PTA meeting there is. I simply choose to give her all my time for now, as I know, in no time, she’ll be all grown up and won’t need me as much as she does now.

I know some people who simply don’t get it. My choice that is. But if you really know me, you’ll understand why. I’m born to be a SAHM. This is where I am happy the most. So, be happy for me too :)

TWO-gether

August 1, 2006 | stage mom in Marital Bliss | 4 Comments |

It was our second wedding anniversary yesterday, July 31, 2006. I hardly can believe it myself, we’ve been married for two years now and has a lovely little angel by our side .
~~~

It seems just like yesterday, memories of the past six years of Jon and I being together are very well clear in my mind and deeply embedded in my heart. I could probably tell you in details everything that happened from day 1. From our very first meeting, our very first phone call (which lasted for five hours, long distance yan ha!) , first date, first movie etc.
~~~
Madami kaming kilig moments :)
~~~
Our love story can pass up for a Maalaala Mo Kaya episode or a Koreanovela Series. To all those who know us and have witnessed how we finally got together can attest to this. I just can’t share it here for all of you to feast on–hiya ako, lol. I might be misjudged, hahaha.
~~~
So anyway, here’s US through the years.
~~~
A pic from our pre-nuptial pictorial by Dino Lara. Almost too ready to get hitched then :)

looking our best for the wedding

Looking forward to more babies and fruitful years together minus the additional pounds, please?
