Not the WINNER nor the LOSER...

Wackiest picture we have on file.. Hahaha!

I've always want to blog about relationships especially (the boy/girl relationship) but I was always hesitant as it would really speak about my own. This time, the urge in my heart has burst - the experience will tell it all. 

I am proud to say that I have an almost 7-year old relationship with my "fiancé" as of this writing. I could confidently justify that there's no really perfect relationship on earth. Two different persons who will share similar things is not really that easy, promise! In the long run, as you grow together, you'll somehow realize the magic of these differences.

From the time we started this journey, I know it wouldn't be a smooth sailing one. Given the fact that he was my first boyfriend, I am very aware that it will require lots of adjustments on my part as if I will have "feelings experiment". By the grace of God, I was able to love unconditionally and maturely.

We both act, think, prioritize and decide differently. Despite of this fact, I can say that we really don't fight, we just do deeper conversations. We would sit together and discuss matters with so much respect on each views. As we move forward, through God's guidance, the differences have made us stronger. For the love history, the relationship has started with conversations... endless conversations. There were debates, serious talks, career discussions and spiritual points. Generously, I will reveal the secret of a peaceful and successful talk. It's because we don't converse to WIN nor recognize ourselves as the LOSER at the end of every conversations.

I can describe it as a "selfless" way of loving. In a relationship, competition in any way will definitely pull each other down. Needful to say, helping your partner to succeed in every aspect of life is a must - that's how companionship works. So, throw the pride and hug all the humility - that's it! How exciting a marriage will be knowing at this stage of our relationship we have already developed this kind of understanding. Of course, it is all by the guidance of the Lord who is the center of this kind of love.

As we go on, love grows well. Meaningful and meaningless talks will always be cherished!

Galatians 5:15 (NLT)
"But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another".

Watch out! ;)

Blissful Independence Weekend!

Last Thursday and Friday, (June 12-13, 2014) I was privileged to attend a church conference and an incredible concert at Araneta Coliseum. That weekend was remarkable in a way that it filled my heart with joy and excitement. Blogging about the events that I've attended makes it more memorable. Furthermore, sharing what you've learned could add more value to the experience.

Expand Conference
His Life City Church, San Fdo

As you can see from the speaker lineup above, you would automatically think that it was a substantial conference.These great speakers have shared meaningful insights, life testimonies, expansion tips, and a lot of Godly words of wisdom to ponder.

Old friends who made it to the conference also brought an overwhelming joy in me.
I super miss these people! 

Looking back at a nearly decade, we shared struggles and blessings together.

Another highlight of the conference was the chance to worship with Miriam Quiambao.
I admire how she humbled herself to share how God has changed her life and mindset to be the woman her Creator purposed her. Yay! Had a chance to took a selfie with her!

Hillsong United Concert
SMART Araneta Coliseum

Great to see packed out Araneta praising only one name! God was there smiling to thousands of people shouting for glory and honor! As I've posted to the my Facebook account - this is the loudest and remarkable concert I've been to.

A Night to Remember...

I never thought that there will be one unique night in my life that the man I love and adore would ask me to marry him and give me the most wonderful material I've ever received! Yes, it was the proposal night! 

Every proposal has its own story... But I tell you, this one is so intimate. I mean, this is between the two of us - at a romantic place on a romantic date (Feb 14, 2014).

I appreciate being pursued. Well, most of the women feel so great every time we feel that we are loved and cherished. The highlight of the wedding proposal would be the reality that you will be engaged then be married! Honestly, I've been waiting for this to happen (though not really expectant at all haha!). 

And now, I am getting more excited with the wedding day as well as the "married" life - I believe that's the more important one. I can't wait to spending forever with my God's best (being confident that he's the one whom God ordained for me). I feel so blessed for having a night to remember...
