A second chance

It came as a surprise on a normal afternoon. I knew that afternoon will be spent for jogging.
I changed into my running clothes and waited for him to fetch me in U.P.
He wanted to walk (as always) while I wanted to run. So we walked. Walked and walked.
On our way back to the parking area, he knelt down. I even said, "bakit mo tatangalin ang shoes mo? May dumi ba. Ang daming tao."
He said: "Will you marry me?" And put the ring on the right finger on my right hand.
I said: "What?" No....No...Di na kailangan d...(pushing him and the ring back).
I smiled. Wow. Thank you Lord.

I believe that this comes as a very rare proposal. No one does a second proposal.
And with this as the second, the answer will and always will be a YES:)

Checked for 2010

One of my goals for 2010 is to finish a 10k marathon.
Last November 28, I was able to complete the kaRUNungan 10 k Marathon in Ortigas.
I thank God for this experience. It was fun to run alongside my friend and pacer, Ate Lu. Likewise, running together with
fellow running enthusiasts (Gin and Teacher Tina), proved to be very encouraging, as well.

Truly, nothing is too impossible when you set your heart into it.

Thank you Lord!

In God's hands

This was the last picture that I took a few months back.

Yes, I cried over it a few times. But hearing such comforting words from loved ones and just gaining encouragement from the Lord, I have learned that nothing is under my control.

The Lord gives and He takes away. There is always something good beneath all of this and beyond.

I am trying to see the bigger picture. Slowly, I am understanding it.

Lord, I am learning that my commitment to my future husband is what truly matters.

There will be greater losses in the future. More daunting than these. How do I react to these things when they come?

Everything is a bonus from you, Lord. I must admit that we get easily blown off by material things, by things that shine. Yet, they fade away too.

I might have gotten too focused on the planning, that I have forgotten what matters the most- that God controls everything. He is the ultimate planner.

Maybe this was a good pause. It was the perfect time to think through things, to reflect, and to see what truly is important in our relationship.

In everything, give thanks to God.

The biggest surprise of my life..:)

Mike: (hands a book entitled: P book, a personalized book) Open it and answer the questions.

Tanya: Huh? Why? Okay. This is cute. Aww..

Mike: Let's shake our glass (after seeing Tanya read the last page).

Tanya: (shakes her glass quietly).

Mike: Shake it more.

Tanya: (eyes lit up after hearing a "ting" sound inside the glass).

Mike: (takes the ring and places it on Tanya's left ring finger).

Tanya: Whattt?? (cries, cries, and cries)

Mike: (raises his placard) Will you marry me?

Tanya: Yes (with an overflow of tears)!

I said Yes...:)
And i'm still overwhelmed...:P

Hi:)

Hey,

See you this friday. :)

Missing you.

Favorite song:)

One of my favorite love songs...:)

Earth, Wind & Fire
The Right Time lyrics

I'll give you love, I'll open up
My heart to you, girl
Cause you're the one, I've waited for
Baby, all of my life... it's you baby

(I'm ready, I'm ready, baby, can't you see)
And this time, it's the right time, baby...for love
It's the right time, lady, to make you mine
And this time, it's the right time, baby
Oh, it's the right time, honey, to make you mine

I promise, girl, that I'll be there
Ain't goin no where, this time
Won't hesitate, cause love don't wait
For anyone, not anyone...no, baby

There comes a time in every man's life
He opens his eyes and then he realizes true love
Baby, this time I'll give my all to you
Cause it's the right time for love
Can't you see that

P.S. I was looking over the internet for an mp3 version of this song but after much research, I was only successful in finding a you tube link. :)
