A letter to my Mom...

Dear Mama,

I just want to thank you for taking extra care for me these past few days, when I was sick. It's kinda over the top care, made me feel like 5 year old girl. Example: Yelling at me to drink my medicine on time, and sometimes you are the one giving it to me, feeding me, staying on the table, watching me and making sure I finish my meal, even I don't have an appetite. (Yeah, watching me..It's kinda irritating for a 29 year old woman, but don't worry I find it sweet! LOL!)  

Well, most mothers sometimes wishes their daughters can do better. Bringing up the daughters of their amigas that more successful the me, saying "Buti pa ung anak ni (Amiga) she's earning 50k a month, at ung anak ni (Amiga2) was able to marry a foreigner, leaving in the US now. It kinda hurts sometimes because as much as I want to give you an awesome life and I'm doing my very best to give you everything you need or want, but sometimes that's the only thing I can do. I want to work harder, give you more money, bring to great places on vacation. I hope have the time and budget before I get married and move to another house...which is gonna be in a few months.

I hope that even I haven't earned as much money, I know you appreciate me as your BFF, my time, my " Paglalambing (sweetness, thoughtfulness). It's ok even i haven't married a foreigner guy. Atleast I will marry a "foreigner-looking" guy who's kind, generous and loves me so much.. (Naks!)

I love you Ma, and I'm Lucky and grateful for having a mom like you.

PS. I wish peace between you and your eldest son... hehehe...

Myla

I'm engaged...What now?

Not an ordinary engagement ring!

I took this photo 5 mins after
the proposal.

My boyfriend Mc and I had been together for 10 years and after all the trouble and craziness I showed him, He decided to spend forever with me. I'm 29 and just have a steady job with a steady pay in a Data Center (yeah, It's a Call Center). About him, he also have a steady job as Web Designer (as in super cool job!).


Nowadays, in my opinion, a bride to be has to share the expenses in the wedding. At least with the wedding gown, the brides maids, flower girls and our moms. The problem is I have 0 savings, 17K debt with credit card. I just hope I will be inspired and be disciplined enough to SAVE money. Mc mentioned that he may be able to share a lot I think. (Yippee!)  The good thing is that we haven't decided with the date yet. I just wish will be able to get married on our anniversary (February 2012).


My dream is a Tagaytay wedding which is harder to pull off compared to a city wedding. With an event control freak that I am, I want to handle the pre-wedding preparation. I'm so excited and so terrified at the same time.


We'll see in a few months what will my wedding would be. The important thing though is I'll be marrying a gorgeous-gorgeous man with a heart of gold.
