wow. crazy week/end

Time is too short, generally.

Kuya Rommel & Ate Raema left this morning. I remember writing my last post like it was yesterday. Anyway, I’m sad. The house feels bigger and oh so quiet. It was a super fun week though, so eventful.

The Wedding.
It was such an emotional wedding, which started with a very memorable Wedding Talk by Kuya Marlon. I cried a few times. First was when Mau walked. We walked down the aisle to the same Kingdom song and it stirred up so much emotions. Second was when Morris said that Mau used to threaten their mom about leaving and pack a blanket of toys; she’d get to the mailbox and turn right around but now…she’s going for real, and not ‘turn around’. Third was the father and daughter dance, they haven’t even started but they were already sobbing.

On a lovely note, I have more family from Alaska now, yipee!!!

SEEEE.

Went to Boathouse and Chocolat with these peeps. Fun times. Too, too short. You guys should come back for a real vacation and we’ll take you to more places! You should even stay at our home!!! We love you guys!

make time

On Instagram, I saw a picture that said “Just because I’m BUSY, doesn’t mean I don’t love you.”

This statement is true. I must admit that I’ve used this line/reasoning in my life. However, in a recent wedding talk I heard, the speaker gave the advice “Make time to show affection, EVERYDAY.” This was noted as something to keep your relationship strong and to keep it working.

Although the first statement is true, it’s no excuse. It’s never supposed to be an excuse. The fact that the second statement came from Jehovah, makes an even stronger proof that it must be done. We MUST make time. Mind you, not FIND time. We may never find time, but we can always make it.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Satan doesn’t need us to be attracted to someone else, he doesn’t need us to find flaws and faults, he only needs us to not have time to show our love for one another. The moment that the feeling of depreciation builds up, there’s no turning back. We would have already grown apart and it no longer matters whether or not we feel loved. The feeling has become so familiar. Thinking about this infuriates me. So sneaky, yeah? We don’t even realize that the core reason of the marriage has gone bye-bye. All because…we don’t make the time to show our love to the one deserving of it.

I didn’t realize how powerful that advice was until I saw how others view their love. If it truly is important to you, show it. Don’t find an excuse not to.

A friend brought to my attention that I haven’t written in so long. He’s right. I haven’t written anything in 92736597 years. Probably closer to hours than years, i lay it on thick.

Moving drives me insane, and i couldn’t find my netbook for the longest time. These are the immediate reasons i haven’t been here. Other reasons:

I guess when you’re married, the hours in a day are never enough. It’s not a negative thing, it’s just a simple fact. There are, all of a sudden, a million and one things you have to accomplish.
Bridal showers, gift-hunting, everything wedding related.

Since forever ago, so many things have changed/happened; these things transpired a bit too fast for my taste. Kaylie is almost 6 years old (I remember when she says I can’t get married because i might forget about her), the twins are 3 (I used to hold them at the same time, sway them, bottle-feed them until they go to sleep. Now one of them has a little girl crush on “Unko Yay”, my husband.), Keala is almost a year old and she’s standing up on her own (Wasn’t she just born yesterday?). Last Saturday, my cousin tied the knot. In less than 2 weeks, Maureen is getting married, then Crystal is going to give birth. Next thing you know, her baby is barging in my room asking me to take him to Disneyland.

Today, I’ve been married for 9 months. In 3 months, we’ll be a year old. If we have a big party, you’re all invited.
