15 Lessons I've Learned on Being Married for 15 Years

Fifteen Years of being married. May 6, 2000 3pm Sto. Domingo Church, Quezon City. Twenty Four Years of loving the same person. More than Half of our lifetime of being together. Sam and I met in college, started out as friends until one day he ‘resigned’ as a friend. I have this policy you see “You can’t court me if you are my friend”. Cried a week then moved on, realized I can’t ignore his courtship. So basically Love Found Me when I promised myself to not go looking at 17. The years passed by so quickly. We did not even realized it has been fifteen years already, we just noticed that most of our appliances began dying on us and the gifts from our wedding began to feel old.

Minute Maid Pulpy, Love that Pulpy Taste!

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... I should try it, just to confirm.

I should know, I lived in a rented house my whole life. Change of plans . In 2010 my priorities changed, family and home became my topmost concern. We were moving into a new house, a new province actually, meeting new people and experiencing a new lifestyle. My professional life took a backseat but I don’t mind for family is more important. Looking Ahead At the start of 2011, I started my Snacks Shop here at home and business is brisk and steady. I hope to open a Coffee shop this year. Health is also a priority for us, we live with my parents and I am concerned about them being fit, so their general ...

Home Sweet Home

I would like to share how my home now looks. After months of renovations, we have settled in nicely. Although there are still things to do like we still do not have built-in cabinets and the bookshelves are still not here. I can safely say it's a work in progress.
