Circle of Influence First!

I've been preparing something as I want to join the AP Year-Ender Talent Contest. I want to join because of the prize at stake. Haha! It would be nice to win some bucks so that we can have something for Christmas' eve or NY's eve. If ever I'll win, even consolation prize, 50 for me and 50 for my mom. I already asked help from Rhea to be my creative director and probably help me in the video editing.

On the other hand, I have so many pending tasks in my personal life. 

- Roshi's neuter

- Roshi's deworm and 5-in-1

- MikMik's deworm and 4-in-1

- Copper and Frappe's de-worm

- Plan out my December leaves (budget; where and when to go)

Random thoughts:

Maybe, my love is really my right person. My love never denies my existence as her partner at her workplace. And she always say "thank you" to my simple gifts, even though she doesn't really need/like them. I feel a little bit flattered that she appreciates me and my efforts. Though we both wanted to have private lovelife, she didn't deny that she's already in a relationship - even to people who are expressing their intentions to her. With that, I'm confident about her.

She also told me something like this yesterday, "Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, lalo ako na-iinlove sayo. Wag mo na tanungin paano dahil di ko rin alam." She's not an expressive kind of person. It's taking a lot of her to be honest and say what she really feels. And I really appreciate this confession she made. So lucky to have her.

Nothing is impossible with Him. =D

Very busy work week 😅

I may not be everyday in love with Carol. But I chose her and chose to be committed with her. When I am very busy with work, I am pre-occupied and most the times, forget my personal life. Even her tends to be busy. Even though, I still choose to love her. We still choose to give time to each other, even 10mins of call a day.

30 days of proactivity

I'll apply to it my work and personal life. I'll see what will happen. Start with my Circle of influence - myself and within.

So help me God.

Love’s birthday and monthsary

The surprises I prepared for my love - bouquet + balloon, pizza, lasagna, and strawberry cake. 😁

It’s not only her birthday we celebrate but our 1st monthsary.

Kahit na lumulobo na sya sa mga pakain ko 😆😅, she’s still my only one. A wife material. I’m lucky for having her. 😊

God, I’m not 100% sure yet but seems like she’s my right person. May we stay together committed through thick and thin. And I want to be the right person for her. So help us God.

Commitment is more than a feeling

Carol and I talked about our ex. Well, it's just a casual talk from the topic "better to have money with no romantic relationship than to be in a relationship but no money".

And I could say, "baka nga di committed sakin yung ex ko nun".

Commitment is more than a feeling. It's more than being in love. You will never feel in love everyday to your partner. It needs effort and have shared goals.

It's never to late to love again. Now, I am committed to my love, Carol. I would love to spend the rest of my life with her.

I am so lucky I met the mature Carol and I think she's lucky too to have met the mature Rove. We're still both work-in-progress until we grow old. I pray that no one will give up on our relationship, through thick and thin.

So help us God. 😊

Thank God for my office chair - Sihoo M57!

Love is a Verb

I don't want her to feel that I used her to move on from my past relationship. Because I really did not. I made sure I already moved on before I start liking someone else. And I don't really mind being single since I enjoy my own company. It's just God finally introduced to me my right person. And I can say that we're both mature now and still in-progress. We've been to few fights already but we were able to reconcile because we have to compromise if we really want to love each other. "Love is a verb." We both don't want to fight and have misunderstanding as they cause physical pain to us. 

Let's see how our relationship will work during and after the pandemic. We just have to maintain open and good communications.

Thoughts when I randomly checked the pics of the backup zip file of me and my ex's FB.

I don't have any regrets about my relationship with my recent ex. I was so immature back then. Thanks to her and to the experience, I've learned a lot. And I feel sorry for her. :( 

Now, I think I've found my right person. Every time I think of Carol, my heart literally aches. I didn't feel the same with other persons during my entire life - except when I got really hurt emotionally and mentally. Haha.

We both know our worth that’s why we don’t chase people anymore. I think it’s fate that made us closer together.

Nothing is impossible with Him. =D

My Love

I've been preparing this birthday surprise for Carol. If ever it's still not allowed to go there for leisure travel, I will just do them as long as she's there. Haha! It depends on her plan for her birthday though. If she'll be out-of-town, I will just move the surprise date. 😁

It will also be our 1st Monthsary. ☺️ Once a year, we will celebrate both her birthday and our monthsary. 😆

I think I wanna marry her. 😆

Pero if I’m thinking of practicality, my financial is not yet ready na buhayin si Carol if ever she’ll lose a job by leaving the province. 😅 I am still doing Masters and paying the lot I bought in Batangas. I couldn’t offer her a house of our own yet. Lots I have, numbers of it, but no house. I have tents though. 😂🤣 

When I was single, I haven’t thought of getting a house of my own yet since my plan was to go abroad for study and work. I also never thought of myself settling down and will always go on traveling. Well, I still have a plan to go to AU for study & work when the boundary starts to open. Carol already knew this when we’re still friends. 

Let’s see what will happen to us in the future. Let’s just live to NOW, to the PRESENT. 😁

Hope we'll stick together through thick or thin. 🙏 And I pray that we are each other's right person. I will do my best to be the right person for her. 

Casual discussion with Love

We’ve talked a lot of things already, from personal life to one’s goals and dreams in life.

Actually, I bought this card game made for couples. It has questions that couples can answer to make them closer and get to know each other more. It helped.

Aside from these, I think our values are the same for most things. 

3 things what we like with our partner

R to C: 

1. I think may paninindigan and faithful

2. Marunong magbudget (she dreams of having her own business in the future)

3. Marunong magluto (she can cook a lot of recipes)

C to R:

1. Have pets

2. Does workout

3. Makulit (daw)

Loving oneself by eating healthy and working out really attract your right person. 😉 

She loves eating fish and veggies and told me not to be picky when we’re together. She’ll cook me fish and veggies. 😳

She wants to live in a province (Cebu, Bohol, or Dumaguete). I prefer city for fast internet because of my work (Metro Manila, Cebu, or Davao). So I guess, our future home would be in Cebu. 😅

We’ve also already discussed names of our future children. 😆 She wants to have a child before she reached the age of 30. I also want to have a kid in the future but I’d like my wife to do the pregnancy. And she’s okay with it. 😁 

Sergei Myler - our boy’s name

Miro Sochi - our girl’s name, but still under discussion 😆

More to come... 

In God’s will and direction. 😊

Nothing is impossible with Him. =D

My Queen

Love, my beautiful queen.

I think God really prepared us both, to be mature enough and meet in His perfect time. We’ve been friends for 13 months before I started liking her romantically. Then we fell in love with each other after a month. Then became an official couple.

“The right person does not run away.”

This time, I have to make it right. I have to do my best to be the right person for her.

God, please keep us strong mentally, emotionally, and physically. “Me time” is very important for both of us. 

Soon, when I can now fly with no restrictions. I’ll see her.

So excited to travel the world with my love when the world gets better. ☺️
