9 years..and still hangin’ on…

I never thought that this day will still come…the past few months are so rocky and it felt like I am losing faith in this relationship…yes, after all these years I still feel that we won’t last forever…maybe because I believe that nothing really lasts forever – no matter how much you take care of it…but as for our relationship…as long as we have each other, I know forever is not too far away…


Our anniversary is not like any other anniversaries we had…no fancy flowers… no extravagant gifts…no out of town vacation…but I am not expecting any of these today…honestly, I didn’t even think of anything special that will happen this day…we didn’t plan for anything to do…but this day the most special for me…we went to Our Lady of Lourdes in Tagaytay. When we got there, I don’t know what happened but an outburst of emotion just covered me…I cried…i cried hard in front of the altar while we were on our knees. I don’t know what happened…but it just happened and I felt relieved…this is the only anniversary that we took time to go to the church and thanked Him for the love binding us all these years…I thanked Him so hard for not letting me give up…I thanked Him for enlightening me in times that I lose my faith in Ney…I thanked Him for letting me face the altar with the only man I love and will love for the rest of my life…. But aside from giving back all the gratitude…I prayed so hard for Him not to let this love that I feel to just vanish…I asked Him for his mercy for me not to fall out of love and for me not to lose hope…and for us not to give in to any temptations surrounding us..





There is no secret to a perfect relationship…because there is no such thing as being Perfect…2 people trying to work their differences will not be able to do it no matter how many anniversaries may come…but 2 people putting God in the center of their relationship will surpass anything…even their differences…As my fave prof told me before, loving is not finding a perfect person but it is loving the imperfect person perfectly …
