Lol!
He holds H4 visa, what it simply means is that he can’t work, since he is my dependent.
It was a relief for me when he gave up his job as a seaman 4 years ago, because that was my dream – for our family to be together.

Our
neighbors are loudly quarreling tonight. I am not sure what it is all
about, it's been 30 minutes now and they are still having a discussion.
It is a good reminder for me to keep quiet, as I could also talk loudly and not mind if anybody hears! Lol!
Good thing they continue to communicate because they get to release whatever feelings and emotions they have of each other.

This was written on October 8, 2000. Our Wedding Day.
YOU
I dreamt of you.. long before.. years ago…
Funny now.. I remember.. I would rush God for you
All the while, He would pacify me and tell me to WAIT a while.
“Wait a while”! “But, I have been waiting for long!”
And then He would lead me to other matters…
His way of preparing me to meet you.

The real story. Lol.
At
24 and still single, my friends and I decided it was time to start
dating. The great thing about it was we actually got to eat for free,
and saved some bucks on transportation. Lol.
But yes, we were actually very decided on having a relationship already. And so we dated.
There
were some guys who were passed on from one to another. Lol! (Well, for

I once asked my hubby to answer an abstract IQ test. This was like after 3 years of being married. Guess what? He aced it!
Mmmm, I wouldn't say
we have the best relationship ever.. we fight, more on I fight, Lol!

My mind is wandering ..
What comes around, goes around really.
I was taken aback when my cousin shouted out "why continue a commitment
with someone, when you know that it wouldn’t last" point taken as she
is coming from her own experience..
And made me ask myself too.. yeah why continue a commitment.. as we
speak of marriage.. Do we continue to be married if along theMaria Gemma Hilotinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04312043983408572168noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881639564108637796.post-36491812855305851692012-04-24T22:18:00.001-07:002012-04-24T22:18:35.542-07:00I thank God for you!

I looked at the mirror, feeling all the confidence in the world.
I looked at the mirror, loving myself,
I looked at the mirror, seeing who I really I am.
Funny, but not too long ago...

SHE confides her love life, the heartaches, the unfinished business..
I listened.
Told her I won’t say I know how you feel because I don’t.
Never experienced it.
I listened.
That’s what she needs.
After some time…
SHE rattles on again with the difficulty of long distance affairs, of loving and being left hanging…
I speak.
Long Distance Affairs can really be difficult.. but Maria Gemma Hilotinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04312043983408572168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881639564108637796.post-61876465730440159812012-04-09T21:55:00.001-07:002012-04-09T22:23:11.411-07:00Lovingly Let Go!
Amidst the ocean of souls.
I met you.
Found warmth in the cloak of your embrace.
Solace in your presence.
You made me free.
To be my truest.
You made me believe.
I found my twin.
My long-lost one.
Innocent, clueless, fragile and wanting. I have fallen.
Danced with joy and gladness as I woke up in your arms.
As butterfly kisses caressed my being.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

Love Matters
Back in the days, I have sweaty hands!
So, obviously, I always felt squeamish with holding hands.
Well, there was this guy, and we attended mass together.
My hands were normal the whole time, but a minute before the “Lord’s Prayer” part of the mass;
my hands began to sweat again!!! (OK! I was nervous; I needed to hold hands with him!)Maria Gemma Hilotinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04312043983408572168noreply@blogger.com28tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-881639564108637796.post-48754682406881718032012-02-13T12:03:00.001-08:002012-02-13T12:03:51.045-08:00Love Matters!
