It's Been Three

April 10 marked our third year wedding anniversary.
Mang and I have been roommates & partners for three years.
We have been parents to Lian Ed for two.
We are looking forward to many more years together.

We thank God for the romantic island-getaway trip He gave us.
We sat along the beach as the full moon's reflection fell on the sea.
We woke up to the sound of soft crashing waves.
We reminisced our honeymoon in Mindoro island three years ago.
We talked about how we want to see ourselves in the coming years.

It's great to be married!

Here are a couple of reminders of our third wedding
anniversary celebration at Isla Reta Resort, Talicud Island,
Island Garden City of Samal:

Funny Shower Game

I organized a shower party for a friend (K Ravello who will be married to a Swiss, Pascal Bazzell, on May 2nd). It was a surprise and we were successful in keeping all the surprises undetected until the last minute.

One of the girls, Sol, facilitated a game that was equally funny and artistic. She gave us two index cards and had us write something romantic in one and something unromantic in another. Afterwards, we wrote a poem combining the two things creatively.

Here’s the poem I wrote. Guess what my romantic thing and the not so romantic thing were:

Poem for K
Rose petals
Scented candles
Hearts in tune
Arms intertwined
Bodies unite
Unexpected fart
The toilet beckons
Romance in the air
Now sits on the throne.
