My Life

10 days from now, Alex and I will be celebrating our 5th year together in married bliss.  But come to think of it, we’ve been already spending almost half of our lives in each other’s arms.  Since 4th year high  school,  we were already a couple.  We were around 16 years old then.  Well, don’t ever ask us how we’ve managed to stay together all these years.  We really can’t tell you the answer.  All we know is that we’re happy together, we jive, we make things happen, we do not compare, and we do not set high expectations from each other.  We’re somewhat contented with what we have and we make the most out of our relationship.  Don’t raise your eyebrows!  I didn’t say that everything was a bed of roses.  In fact, we also had our fair share of bumpy rides.

Honestly, I don’t believe in love at first sight.  Love grows.  Love entails nurturing.  Both should be in the giving and receiving end.  There should be constant communication, understanding, respect, patience and forgiveness.  Couples should try their best to accept each one’s flaws and faults.  But at the same time, work hand-in-hand to contribute for the other’s growth be it spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, social etc…

Actually, a lot of my friends are asking how come we didn’t look for another?  Maybe because we’re soulmates?  God only knows!  We’re just glad that we managed to stay together - for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, ’til death do us part….  And we foresee ourselves growing old - still happily and madly in love with each other.

P.S. Please bear with the 1st two pictures.  Tried to capture it through our digicam and those were the outputs. :(
