« When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible | Main | A WORLD THAT BECKONS LIKE A LIBERATION: 20 questions on blogging and life in general »

Only the beginning of what I want to feel forever

Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be ngayon ang ika labing apat na anibersaryo ng kasal naming mag-asawa. labing apat. packingsheet - seven year itch taymis two. bwahahaha. ang tagal na namin ni jet ano? pero hanggang ngayon masarap pa rin ang sex life namin. buti na lang. pero teka, taympers... bago tayo magpatuloy, imagine nyo na lang muna na tumutugtog ang "ode to joy" ni beethoven para mas madrama. ok, tuloy ang kwento: alam nyo, ngayong taon eh pakiramdam ko, maraming magbabago sa buhay namin ni jet. parang natatakot nga ako dahil hindi ko alam what the future will bring. i just take comfort in the fact na sa 14 years naming pagsasama, wala kaming hinarap na hindi namin nalamapasan with flying colors. in fact, di ba, nagsimula nga kaming magsama eh wala kaming ka pera pera at hindi na nga kami nakapag pakasal sa simbahan. doon lang kami sa munisipyo ng kalookan sama ang dalawang kaibigang naging ninong at witness.

Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be tapos ang reception pa namin ay sa jollibee sa sangandaan ginawa. kaming dalawa lang ni jet - chicken joy at french fries with large coke and extra rice lang ang handa. pagtapos ng kasal, nakitira lang kami sa mga mommy ko at nakituloy sa isang maliit na kwarto na may single bed. simple lang. siguro kaya rin kami naging close na mag asawa: kasi pag nag-away kami, hindi pwedeng hindi kami mag bate bago matulog dahil pang isahang tao lang ang kama. wala kang tatakbuhan kaya mapipilitan kang makipag areglo. hehe. nakakatawa nga - ngayon, king size na ang kama namin pero magkadikit pa rin kaming matulog. and just as well. you don't know what hapiness is hanggang hindi mo nararamdaman kung papaano gumising sa umaga na katabi ang mahal mo na nakaakap ng mahigpit sa iyo. yun yung sinsasabi kong mga maliliit na bagay na pag pinag dugtong dugtong mo ay nagiging isang makabuluhang pagsasama. may request nga pala ako, punta naman kayo sa website ni jet at mag iwan kayo ng comment. sabihin ninyo, inutusan ko kayong magpunta roon para batiin siya ng isang happy 14th year wedding anniversary. sa pagsasama kasi namin, napakalaki ng naitulong niya para marating namin ang narating namin. hindi man kami mayaman sa salapi, eh busog naman kami sa pagmamahal. at malaking bagay dito ay dahil sa aking mylabopmayn.

isa sa mga all time paborito kong kanta ay ang "beginnings" ng chicago. ito yung 1970's chicago bago mabaduy nang mapasok si peter "yoursoyucky" cetera. ang kantang ito ay tungkol sa isang lalaking sobrang swerte ang tingin sa sarili niya dahil nakatagpo siya ng babaing mamahalin ng porebereneber. ito ang kanta ko ngayong taon kay jet.

When I'm with you,
it doesn't matter where we are,
or what we're doing.
I'm with you,
that's all that matters.
Time passes much too quickly
when we're together laughing

kahapon, nag grocery si jet para sa panglinguhan naming supplies at pagkain. tinawagan niya ako sa opisina at tinanong kung ano ang gusto kong pasalubong. sabi ko - "wala mylab, yung narito ka lang na kasama ako ay ok nang pasalubong para sa kin". kahit nga ako eh medyo naluha sa sinabi ko because i really meant it. hehehe. happy anniversary mylabopmayn. it's been an exciting 14 year trip and i look forward to more adventures together. lab u.

Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be

Comments

*hikbi..

every year ata akong umiiyak dito pagka anib nyo :(


tumawag na ba ang jollibee or si mother lily para gawan kayo ng sine ni jet?

pag kinuwento ko yung kuwento niyo sa iba, hindi sila naniniwala...ako rin, kaya every year, bumabalik balik ako dito...

eto ang tagay para sa 7 pang makakating taon!

"you both deserve to be happy" God said, that's why you got each other for life!


haaaayyyyy!!! how swet talaga! punung-puno ng langgam na naman itong puter ko!

happy 14th anniversary to both of you! kasabay pala ng anibersaryo nyo ang bertdey ng tatang ko. gara!

kuyang, siguro ka bang hindi ka pwedeng ipa-xerox? :D


kakainlab!!!!!!!! kakainggit!!!!! kaka excite!!!!

Happy 14th Anniversary sa inyong dalawa ha...

kaka inspire!! haaaayyy...


Bat and jet,

Happy Anniversary.

Dear unkel batjay,
may tanong lang ako ? Sabi mo single bed lang ang ginamit ninyo noong bagong kasal kayo. Sino ang sa ibabaw at sino ang sa ilalim kasi isa lang kasya diyan di ba?

HAHAHAHARHARHARHAR


Thank you for the 14 years.

And here's to another 14... and another... and another.

I love you, my love. Happy anniversary.


more years to come sa inyong dalawa :)


nakaka-in-love talaga kayo! it's my first time to witness your anniversary, and i'm so happy for you. you're so inspirational!


batjay and jet,

happy 14th wedding anniversary


Congratulations Perskasin and Perskasininlo! I'm so glad you guys are together again. This was a very sweet post. Kilig tuloy ako.


hi batjay! this is soooo sweet! pati yung post ni jet sa blog nya, ang sweet din! hala, langgamin na kayong 2 dyan! happy anniv, mate!
:-)


Waw! Hangswit! Happy 14th Anniversary! :D


sweeeeeet!

i can relate dun sa single bed. ganyan din kami ng partner ko ngayon, we're just starting and isa lang ang kama kaya pag nag-away bati din agad. pero come to think of it, pwede namang matulog sa sahig, siguro di lang talaga naming kaya na magkaaway ng magdamag.

happy aniv sa inyo!


Batjay and Jet, Happy anniversary to you and here's to more years of happiness, adventures and bliss.

I loved the quote: "When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

Pwedeng pahiram? I hope to blog about this sometime soon ;)


batjay!!! ang ganda naman ng sinulat mo. nakaka-inspire :)nakakatuwa kasi di lahat ng lalaki expressive pagdating sa pag-ibig. hehe.

happy anniversary to you and jet! here's to another 14 years of bliss...batiin kita ulit, after 14 years para madagdagan ko. hehe.


iba ka talaga batjay.... lupet mo to the highest ever ..... congrats po ...


Happy Anniversary Bosing. I am so happy for both of you. Why worry about the future when you know and have the formula for happiness? i am just so glad I've become a friend to you both. We have happy times together which I hope will never last.


BATJAY, maraming maraming salamat sa iyo. Mabuti ang iyong kalooban, iyan ang totoong nakita ko sa iyo. Salamat, Batjay, alam mo naman siguro kung bakit.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY too.


Kuya Batjay nakakapanibago ang entry na ito... pero napapansin ko na before na pag si ate jet na ang pinag-uusapan iba ang timbre ng sulat mo... sbi nga ni Alice Dixon.. "I can feel it!!"

Congrat sa inyong dalawa at sige dadalaw ako kay ate jet para mag-greet din... bottom's up sa inyong dalawa!! sana kami rin ng waswit ko! :oP


Boss Jay, Happy 14th! Nakaka-inspire ang buhay ninyo... :-)


happy anniversary sa inyong dalawa!


happy anib! kaka-inspire talaga story nyo.


Your entry was really heartwarming, Batjay. Sana kapag kami ni Dennis ay nag 14th year wedding anniversary, we'll share the same sweetness you and Jet have!


i think i've said this on your blog many times. i see my parents in the two of you (minus the sex life. hehehe). they turned 45 years yesterday.

i think you and jet are well on your way. feeling ko 31 years from now i will still be visiting your blog (or whatever version is available in the future).

at kikiligin pa rin.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! :)


Happy anniversary! Sobra namang nakakalambot ng puso yung kwento niyo :)


bigla naman akong nainggit...haayyy...ang ganda ng story niyo...

happi anniversari po!


Kuya Batjay & Jet,
Happy 14th Anniversary!!!
Stay sweet and keep lovin' each other!


Jay and Jet, Happy Anniversary. Habol pa ako! Sana maging masaya kayo as the years go by. :)

God bless.


happy anniversary sa inyong dalawa. nawa'y biyayaan kayo ng mas lalo pang matamis na pagmamahalan at lalo kayong pag-adyain ng Diyos... (ako ba'to?) iba talaga pag si Jet ang topic, i agree. you sound normal ha ha joke lang... happy, happy anniversary to the both of you!

Amen! Wa ako say....I know how much you luv each other! and I'm wishing both of you a more wonderful years together! Luv u both!


batjet!

bonne anniversaire po! mag-schedule ako ng blowout sa no signboard para senyo ha, tapos bigay ko na din yung long-delayed gift namin ni amor senyo na lucky bamboo!

miss ko na kayong 2 ah!


congrats unkel bat jay sana marami pang pag ibig ang kaligayahan darating sa inyo ni mrs bat jay


wow, you've come a long way beybi pala kayo ni auntie jet, ankle b! galing-galing! happy anniversary to you! may you have many, many more happy years together! :-)


huli man daw at magaling, usad pagong parin ... kahit two days late ako, happy anniversary bossing batjay and jet! :)


Dear Jay and Jet,
Happy Honeyversary senyong dalawah!

from pagkabisi-bising dengky,hehehe!


matagal na rin akong nagbabasa ng mga kalokohan at kalibo-gan mo at napansin ko na wala ka pa yatang naisulat tunggol sa anak niyo ni jet. i think this is the right time to ask you, since labing-apat na kayong kasal - may baby na ba kayo? kung wala pa, may plano pa ba kayong magkaroon ng anak? anyway, happy 14th anniversary and hope to see both of you in the MRT.


Congratulations to both of you!

All I can think of right now is: Ahhh, true love!

Oh...and also: Tama ka, mas gusto ko rin ang Chicago pre-Peter (yooursoyucky) Cetera. At perfect talaga ang kantang "Beginnings" para sa inyo. Naku, naiiyak na naman ako sa tuwa at kilig -- uhu uhu uhu. Seriously :)


dear onkel batjay,
napakaganda ng inyong lablyf. for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health...mga bagyong dumaan at dadaan pa ay inyong nilampasan at lalampasan pa.

here's more blessings to a wonderful couple!


till death do us part. salamat sa bati ate justice. more blessings din sa pamilya mo.


thanks for the bati, st. gigi. after this post, bigla tuloy akong napabili ng greatest hits ng chicago and have been listening to "beginnings" almost everyday. it is a great song.
