The Thief

There is a thief that I know...

He is sly and cunning. He makes me do things for him.

I am his willing slave. With just a pat in the back, a simple smile of encouragement, a silky whisper of a promise, I am drawn to do his bidding.

He steals not money nor things of Value.

Rather he robs me of my youth, he darkens my future and takes away the most valuable possession I have.


My potential of becoming a man.

I hate him with a fervor.

But no matter what I do I can do nothing to him because the thief is me.

The Best Change of My Life

Image
Just like that, it’s been 13 years. They say marriage ruins romance because nothing changes.  Everything stays the same.  Day in and day out, the monotony of daily life makes everything boring, and for the normal person, 13 years is enough to stifle love and reduce it to convenience. Good thing they’re all wrong. Because change is inevitable. I may have once thought of you as my muse, the only one who made my life better and brighter. The moment I laid eyes on you, I was smitten — knocked down, completely head over heels in love with you.  But not anymore.  Change happened. I no longer feel the same way... Today, I love you even more.  I was, and will always be, the luckiest man in the world to have met you — the woman of my dreams — and to have married you. Thank you for saying yes 13 years ago.  And thank you for still choosing me today.  I love you, you and you alone. Happy 13 years my love! 13 years of bliss.

My Vow to you (May 12, 2013 wedding vow at Caleruega, Batulao Batanggas)

Fey,  I probably did this vow over a thousand times on paper and more than a million times in my head.  That it has gotten to a point where I no longer know what to say. O, ow...  So preparing for it might have been a mistake?  I am the luckiest man in the world, do you know that?  I know of no man who has met the woman of his dreams more so married Her but I AM and I'M PROUD.  We may have went through a lot of challenges, i t may have felt like dying when we broke up, but none of those things matter now.  Here we are finally!  Nothing or nobody could separate us from each other cause what's meant to be is meant to be .  Thank you for this amazing feeling that you bring to my life.  You are so beautiful that I could barely hold back my tears.  Holding you feels like I am holding a dream .  I will never loose you again, never!  With God as our witness I promise to be your best friend, h...

Dear Gabriel

Dear Gabriel,   It might be too early to write you this now.  After all it would take a few years before you learn how to read but I think you need to know...  The time will come when you and your mom will argue, it might be about something big or entirely petty.  Whichever it is, it does not matter. I know it will happen.  A lot. After all, you are my son. In those times you will try to be eloquent, rational and maybe a little dramatic.  You will speak with conviction. You will be logical.  I hate to tell you this now but, you will never win. Don't feel bad, she means well.  She only has your best interest at heart. She will correct you a lot. Be at your heel about the smallest of things. Ask you to tidy up your room. Take up all your space with the knick knacks she will hoard. Be on your case about school, your dirty socks, pester you with the identity of your crush. She will get on your nerves at least twice a day. But... Never tal...
