hello babe. 12.14.78. that was my birth date. and now im celebrating my 32 years of being alive in this so called world. :) lucky me. not just for having been born, not just for being alive, but for having a happy life with my family, friends and relatives and for having you *babe* in my life. its not that we know each other for a long time, its been quite a while but i can feel that this acquaintance will last a lifetime. that we will stay together until forever. and i thank God for giving you to me. thank you for being a part of me. i love you.

i thank God for the blessings of the people around me thru the gud times and bad, for everything He has showered me, laughters & tears, happiness and loneliness, love & anger, every material happiness accompanied by problems, all these have been part of the past 32 years of my life, moulding me into a stronger & better person. thank you Lord for another year to treasure, to face & to battle with.

i had a wonderful birthday. no party, no balloons, no loud music. i had only you for lunch and my family for dinner. i dont need those parties to enjoy my big day. im already contented having you and my family to spend my day. everyone remembered to greet and wish me happiness, good health and a lot more blessings to come. i appreciate them all. and im happy to know that every people i care for has never forgotten me on this special day. im already contented and happy just that. :)

love over tons of trials

today wasn't a nice day for both of us. it has been a stressful and tiring day. ive been so mad but yeah, in the end of it all, we still compromised to settle everything clear. i know these situations are just trials, to make us stronger, to make our relationship tougher. we cant please everybody, that's what they say. and we can't tell everyone to like us, to accept us nor to acknowledge our existence. some people get envious, others get mad with the people around them, they do actions just to break others' happiness, just to barge in on others' happy relationships. some just wanted others' lives miserable. just because they are bitter with their lives.

i admit i was mad to hell last night, till this morning. and i wasn't able to reason out fine with what happened just because i was mad. i was cool at first, but i ruined my own reasoning just because the tension got heavier and higher. i never listened. i never cared. all i wanted was to shout and yell and shoo you away. to hell, to anywhere, just far away from me. i never had the chance to balance everything because i was real mad. and i am sorry about that. madness was my initial reaction. i threw you words i couldn't believe i could say to someone like you. i yelled at you like you were a monster. and again i am sorry about that. i thank God, He let me listen to Ate, giving words of wisdom getting to the inner part of my mind, to the inner part of my heart. until i was reasoning right and balance the situation, contemplating each angle. and i was sorry to hear all those words. i know both of us were at our lowest points. yet, in the end, we still won. we still tried to get back on the right track, to pick up the broken pieces, to settle back on the right place.

im sorry babe for being cruel. i know i was. and thank you for staying where you were. for waiting for me to get back to you. for being strong for US when i was so low. THANK YOU for the love. LOVE binds us together, keeps us together and will keep us together until forever. im sorry. I LOVE YOU.

with your problem on the burned kitchen cabinets, im sorry for that. it was an accident ;) so lets just be extra careful the next time around. ;) anyway, i hope u can settle it soon. im here to help, just here beside you, kahit taga abot lang ng tools. :D hihi. pwede din tagapukpok. at tagapintura. :D babe, i love you so much. remember that.

another day of trials has passed. and im happy that we are still together at this very moment, surpassed everything, learned our mistakes (so much lessons learned) and realized our actions, good and bad. there are still a lot of trials coming our way. i just hope we could handle everything. surpass everything to make us stronger and tougher on every trial. basta andyan ka lang babe, at di mo ko iiwan. im sorry. and i love you so much. <3

with so much love,

Ameyoko fishmarket *Tokyo , Japan*

Today, i woke up early and had some chitchat with my babe,  after sometime i fell sleep again while my babe watches me sleeping. She does it always :) 

Then my babe told me that she will go to sleep, i'm awake already and since i'm on leave from my work, i was thinking what to do the whole day.  

Time passed by while watching remma singing some religious songs on youtube. Then i went to take a bath to prepare for the day. Ive got nothing to do the whole day so after bath, i decided to go to ueno okachimachi where fish market is located.

I bought dried taro leaves for my own version of laing :)) (laing is taro leaves cooked in coconut milk :) one of my favorite filipino dishes. Then i bought some seafoods like some sorts of fishes and shrimps.

happy  face b`coz  of my  babe!

before  i  buy the shrimp and fish

40  pcs of shrimp divided into four .. hmmm

sorry  fish! isa ka ng  paksiw :))

Frozen Tilapia :))  i  will  make my  own spicy  sweet and  sour  TILAPIA

Taro leaves :)  i  will  prepare  my  very  own version of LAING

I  tried to buy  this little creature , but  the man  said i can`t preserve it... :)) :))

So today i wont have any problem preparing foods for the following days. ive already have in mind what to prepare and what to cook, my own version of my favorite dishes. And this is all dedicated to my one and only babe *aileen* 

I love you babe!

photos that symbolizes US

ive been trying to think of something to write about us until i found these photos which mean a lot to me and my babe. some were bought, others were painted on Scribble (an iphone app which i love to use to scribble colorful designs), and others were made by me and my babe using anything, anyhow to show our love for each other.


anyways, here are those cute memorable designs, keychains and some ordinary hand writings that symbolizes my babe and i, us! i love you babe. FOREVER!

you and me <3

Stop Violence Against Children Campaign

"Change your facebook profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood and invite your friends to do the same. Until Monday, there should be no human faces on facebook, but a stash of memories. This is a campaign to stop violence against children."

 click on this ---->> this is the reason why we changed our primary pics on facebook

each one of us has been a child. and each one of us has his own memories from our childhood days. be it good or bad memories, we still can recall every bit of them whenever we want to. or sometimes when we see some things that make us remember those memories from our past, from out childhood years. but we all know that not everyone of us has endured a good life in the past. we are lucky if we had such wonderful and responsible parents who took care of us and who protected us when we were child. but how about those unlucky kids. how about those children who had been victims of the cruelty of other people, and the saddest of them all, who had been victims of the cruelty of their own parents. it feels sad to know that there are people like them who could bear and do such violence to their own children. we can still stop them, we can still do something to stop all those violence.

it would be a very blissful feeling if we can join campaigns like this to stop them. so when my babe asked me to join the said campaign, i did so, him changing his profile picture to poppye, and me, changing mine to olive oyl. perfect partners, aight? Olive Oyl wasn't my favorite childhood cartoon character, but since my  babe invited me, i chose olive to be with poppye. just as we promised, to stay together for the rest of our lives, build a family of our own and raise our own children to treasure, to take care and to love forever.

poppye the sailor man pooot pooot :)

the skinny olive oyl (so inlove, of course with poppye <3)

this campaign has finished today, 06 december 2010 and i just hope that this campaign has helped a lot to stop the violence against children. :) 

goodnight! ciao :)
