Letters That I'll Never Send: Dear Prom Date

Dear Jason,

Hi! Remember me? You look handsome as ever. Glad to see that you are now in a relationship and you totally look cute together. I enjoyed looking at your photos and you were wearing couples shirts...so cheesy. Well, I picked this topic and all I have to say is that I enjoyed my senior prom better than my junior prom and the funny thing is, I had so much fun with you, a sophomore, a kid like no other for me except Randall (ang kulit ng tandem niyo). I laughed a lot. I think my other friends, ' the unpretty ones' like me were jealous because you were attentive, kind and was an escort anyone would have glad to have hooked. Oh, I enjoyed the fact that we were the first to arrive, had dozens of photo opps, but I guess my mom didn't appreciate receiving a bunch of bananas for being the first pair to arrive. Oh well, highschool life. Thanks for that. I enjoyed the practices too. I remember laughing about how surprised you were that you were taller than me and I was a senior already. I also remember you trying to surprise me, but hey, I knew it was you since when you cover my eyes and ask who it is, your voice is pretty much recognizable...lol! I hope your doing fine, and well, Good Luck in life.




P.S. Those curious of how lucky I got during the prom, here's a pic I stole from his friendster account. I hope no one sees this entry. hahaha.

WLW: I Feel Love

I feel love when my kids hug me. They do it at the same time and they love to crush me like a sandwich.

I feel love when I get to read romantic novels, nothing like a Judith Mcnaught or a Julie Garwood.

I feel love when I get to watch movies that just strikes a chord with me, like books turned to movies, like The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, Love Story, A Walk to Remember, Time Traveler's Wife, and a whole lot more.

I feel love when hubby surprises me with a dvd I have always wanted or a book I'm dying to have my hands on.

I feel love when I see people in love and during weddings.

Own it on Dvd Giveaway!

Dear Reader,




If there was a movie, I'd love to own for myself, without a single doubt in my head.... it would be...

I just can't get over the fact, that no matter how many times I've seen it, even my husband is already laughing at me about it, because when I flip channels and it's showing on 'star movies', I never fail to stop and watch even just a few scenes. I sincerely wish I can own its dvd and watch it at times when my kids are napping, now that would be a happy and perfect moment wouldn't it?

You might be wondering why I'm talking about a movie I want to have my own dvd. Well, maybe not, since you've seen the banner on top. Here's the thing. Couchers have the advantage of being able to join this fabulous giveaway. But there's hope for you non-couchers yet!

My Most Wonderful Experience

Dear Readers,

My most wonderful experience happened in the year 2000. Hmm... a long, long time ago. Then boyfriend, now hubby knew I was about to go home and we would be having a long distance relationship from then on. It was a monthsary which turned out to be very special because we did two things I had always wished to do. One was to visit a zoo. The second was to ride a train. I haven't done any of those and in that one magical day, we did. We rode a jeep to SM North. Took the train, and I felt as if I was on a flat rollercoaster, I loved it. I'm absolutely terrified of rollercoasters, and I wouldn't ride one unless hubby was with me. So, when I got to ride in a train, I just felt like a little kid. Then, to my surprise we got off somewhere and we took a jeepney ride and lo and behold! He took me to see giraffes, snakes, birds and elephants live! I got to visit Manila Zoo. Yay! What's your most wonderful experience?

A Love Story like No Other

Dear Reader,




I was going to write about 50 First Dates, to veer away from my usual picks of dramatic love stories. But then I saw that Rossel has already written about it. Then, I remember crying about this movie, liking it since it had different twists and turns and more. Before I go on and on about it, this movie stars Michelle Trachtenberg, famous as Buffy's little sister and as the infamous Georgina in Gossip Girls. The guy is Will Estes of American Dreams.

The title of the movie is The Dive from Clausen's Pier. The plot like every love story is simple yet complicated. The movie starts with highschool sweethearts Carrie and Mike. They're the couple you write in your slumbooks as the 'first to get married', been steady since forever and the perfect couple.An accident shocks the couple apart. Mike jumps into the pier, unknowingly, the water is shallow, so he becomes a quadriplegic. Then, the unspeakable happens, Carrie dumps him to go to New York and pursue an ambition that is yet to be defined. She hooks up with Kilroy, whom she doesn't really know.
In the end, she decides to choose to straighten out her life, and try to face her past so she can move on with her life.

I got this lovely tag from Chris of Mommy Journey. I am never one to say no to something such as this, so here's my post done in a rush, and yet, I hope it's right.

Here's a quote I got from brainy quotes which just made me smile:

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times.
Rita Rudner

I so agree with it.. It's just that I've had crushes, thought I had feelings for someone else, but in all honesty, no one's ever made me feel what my husband makes me feel.
