A Good Night's Sleep

My brother and I had been roommates for around two years before he moved out of our home in 2005. WHY, you would ask, knowing that I had a sister. Let's just say that my brother, though older, granted the demands of his little bratty sister. 

CLEANLINESS. I'm a neat freak.
SILENCE. I don't sleep with any noise in the background. 
DARKNESS. I strictly implement a Lights Out policy. 

Rules that the MERMAID could barely agree with. Maybe, you're wondering why I moved into my brother's room. Let's just say that the MERMAID left me no choice but to migrate to the next room. She was one tough sleeping beauty from another bunkhouse to beat. 

In my college years, I got a roommate for four years. It was a big relief that she was flexible with her sleeping habits. A fast and an early sleeper...a perfect roommate!

Believe me, I'm really a difficult person to sleep with.  Even, the sound of raindrops could annoy me. To lessen the intensity of my case, I now sleep late. Perhaps, with this change, the last two items on my demand list will be ticked off effortlessly by my soon-to-be roommate.

How he will carry out the first demand will be unveiled soon.

YES to Travels

I just can't help it. I am STILL in love with traveling. This love affair perhaps will go on until I breathe my last. 

It's a coincidental blessing to have a life partner who loves traveling as much as I do. He opened my eyes to a bigger world. Life, as I see it now, is so much more intense and deeper. Thanks to him.

We have places lined up for us before OUR DAY.

KL, Malaysia.
Coron, Palawan.
Cam Sur, Bicol.

In our book, traveling is forgetting all the small stuff. Hence, all the whitening products will come in handy AFTER seeing the Petronas Tower, treading the turquoise waters  in Palawan and riding a wakeboard at CWC.

I wish all couples could do the same thing.

Happy Love

I am getting married soon. A guy friend of mine once said upon getting this buzz from me that it was like an end of an era. I failed to ask what he meant. I would like to think though that it was something pleasant. See, this friend can be too pragmatic.

I am marrying the man who inspires me to be better. Apart from being lovers, we share the best friendship I've ever known. He pushes me up when I start to stumble down the hill. His flaws make me want to love him more. For a change, I discuss like a real adult. Fighting with him is pointless for he will just slap me with the truth. He is one smart guy. He is tough but kind. With him, I look at the cup half full. He is the very reason for my unfading happiness. 

My love for this man is constant and yet changing. It just grows stronger each beautiful sunrise.
