Love

He reads me like a book

So I turned 25 last week (yay), and I decided to spend the day being quiet.  Not quiet as in not talking, but like enjoying the silence that comes whenever.  I anticipated a dinner with the family, and we did have that at YakiMix.  It was fun.  We invited Dylan.

Anyone who knows YakiMix will tell you that you have to be there at least an hour before they open the doors to get a reservation.  We did that and we were on the waiting list  of the second page.  That’s what an eat-all-you-can shindig does to people.  So we had to wait an hour.

Dylan came exactly at the hour when we’re ready to be seated and he gave me his gift, that I did not expect at all:

And he said he took so long because he saw a Book Journal and a Film Journal and he didn’t know what to get.

I am so ecstatic.  I can’t even begin to explain it.  And he left this inscription in it.

See?  I am so loved by the man who knows me so well.  He reads me like a book and how I manage to surprise him still confuses me.

Now, I am off to marinate in this loving glow.

You bring me to tears

There are very few songs in this lifetime that bring me to tears.  Most of them have Eric Clapton in it, and a couple from John Mayer.  But in general, not so many.  So imagine my surprise when I found out that everytime I listen to David Cook’s rendition of Neil Diamond’s All I Really Need Is You, I tear up.

I guess because the past year has made me more grateful and mature with my relationship with Dylan.  We seldom fight now.  There are a handful of arguments here and there, but nothing major ever.  Most of the arguing happen after work, when we’re both tired and I go against my negative energy and choose that hour to “talk”. 

I don’t think I’ve been this contented.  It’s such a relief to finally be in a point when I am just thankful and happy and satisfied in my love life.  I have passion, faith and love in this relationship — and I am not used to having all three.  :)

So yeah.  There.  This is cheesy year.  Finally, we’re both in a good place.  A really good place.  And like I always say, I am fortunate to be with someone whose dreams are as big as mine.

After all these years
After all these tears between us
Still I couldn’t find
Someone half as right as you
And each time I stop to think
What it is I really need
Here’s what I conclude
All I really need is you

Just say what you want to say
You don’t have a chance in the world
Can I, knowing how I’ve tried
Still come close to losing you, girl
When you are my world
Have I spent so many years
Trying but in vain to tell you
Don’t you know it’s true
All I really need is you

Our version of Christmas dining

We dined at the restaurant that’s fast becoming our favorite.  We’ve never had a bad meal so yeah, it’s the perfect spot to celebrate the holidays in.  After watching The Fighter and being blown away completely by Christian Bale’s acting, we started to celebrate one of the many holidays we’ve spent together, setting the bar to which every coming holiday would have to surpass.

I am the most grateful girl in the world.  And like I always say, I am so fortunate to be with someone whose dreams are as big as mine.
Happy holidays, everyone. :)

Why couples pay to have a Jason Magbanua wedding

He has to be one of those talented people that you’re fortunate to meet and have around.  I honestly believe that when I reach the point in my life when I am ready to settle down and start a family and my loving beau finally gives in to getting him to immortalize our special day, he’ll be worth a quarter of a million.  Seriously.  He’s THAT good.

But then again, I bet you already know that. :)

Slow and Steady

I’m waiting for responses to the office email I sent out.  In hopes of creating a much better product for the company, I need ideas and these ideas cannot all come from me.

So I’m abusing the power of the Internet, and the fact that I’m not doing anything to fill up another blogspace.  I mean, I’m on a roll already, so I might as well strike while the iron is hot.

I wonder if our local music channel does this still, acoustic sessions.  I’m pretty sure they do, but it’s just sad how our local artists can’t seem to make their presence felt.

Wait.  They don’t love you like I love you.
