Today is Ezhie’s 27th birthday . Time flies so fast and this makes me excited! God may not give everything that we’re wishing for right now, but I know He’ll give us what we deserve or even more than that at the right time.

Ezhie has been a great influence in my life. Since we started this journey together, we changed from two individuals into a couple who blend well together. Despite our differences, I am very positive that we can surpass every trial we may meet along the way.

It is true that the strength of the relationship does not depend on how long it has been standing. What contributes a lot in it is the determination of the two persons involved to fight for love and to hang on no matter how hard it is. Our friends who know how we started are really amazed by how we handled our relationship, thinking we are a perfect couple. However, our relationship is not perfect BUT we managed to survive despite the imperfection. We’ve had so many problems before.. they were so grave that I thought we had to end it already. But whenever one of us feels like giving up, the other one fights for us so we always find a way to give it another shot.

Ezhie taught me a lot of things and I can say that I really changed a lot since the first day we had “us”. He taught me how to value life and the people around me who support me in every step of the way. He also showed me how to be contented yet never stop dreaming and fighting for that dream. If I were to enumerate everything he has influenced in my life, I might run out of words.. I am really grateful for having him as my partner.

Many people wouldn’t understand why I was able to hold on to our relationship for almost seven years now despite the problems, differences and the distance between us. I too, have no idea why. All I know and am very certain of is this feeling that binds us.. no matter how far he is from me.. no matter how different our ideals and beliefs may be..

I don’t want to think about this but I know it may happen.. If in case we decided to separate ways, I would still be very thankful for spending a huge fraction of my life with Ezhie..

But I believe that wouldn’t happen because we won’t let it.. and I know God wouldn’t let it too..

Happy birthday to the man I love..

BTW, here is something I made for him. I kinda rushed it..

It’s been ten days since the calendar page turned September. Within those ten days, I experienced so many twists and turns that I should have blogged about. However, I just realized that life is just like this and being so sentimental about everything that comes into my life would not help if I take them negatively. Since I got a year older when I celebrated my 23rd birthday last September 1, I wanted to treat everything and everyone maturely.

I posted last August 31st that I’d be posting the details of my birthday celebration here in my blog. However, so many things happened and I became very busy in the past ten days. All I can say is that my 23rd birthday is one of the most memorable of all my birthdays, so far. It’s not because I had a party, but because of the many things that happened during my exact birthday, both good and bad. I don’t want to elaborate on this. I just want to thank those who remembered me on my special day.

Ezhie :), my family (they’re too many), 239ers (Di, Cath, Tere, Jen, Ella and Mica and also Mommy Anne), LSP family (especially Ana Cynth, Edith, Ju, Alvin, Sammy and Punky for attending the celeb), my roommie Ally and a lot more of my friends, Santiago family, David and Cariaso Family. Sorry, I don’t have the complete list. I just want to thank you guys, and of course, my God who gives me the lessons in life that make me stronger..

So what happened in the past ten days? I went to Manila to visit my Lola and Papa and also to consult Sir Joseph about some concerns. I really hope to receive my visa soon.. :-S

Also, as I’ve said, I was really busy. But the good thing about my busy-ness is my most successful 10-days ever! From the first day of September until today, the 10th, I earned a fulfilling amount of..

$300+! Yippeee!!!!

Nice one for a 5-month old blogger, right?!

Now, this is a good thing to blog about! The 10-day break from my personal blogging is to break this good news. Congratulate me everyone! Haha

Hope to maintain this income until I receive my 476 visa, or even after that.

My most awaited birthday celebration has come! I got a bit busy in the past days so I was not able to post updates here in my blog. Honestly, I do not have enough energy to blog about it today.. I just want to say that I really enjoyed the party. kindly see the pictures here just to get a glimpse of the celebration. I promise to share things with you tomorrow.

I now have tired feet, a terrible backache and a heart full of love and joy.

It was really a very tiring day! Just two more hours and I’m a year older.. Hmmmm.. wish Eze’s here.

Mama, Rea and I went to Eze’s today. Tita invited us to come over and we accepted the invitation so that Mama could also get the chance to visit them and meet Eze’s other relatives. Even though Eze and I have been together for almost seven years, it is just Mama’s first time to go to their house. On the other hand, Eze’s family already gave us a couple of visits before.

Anyway, everything went well. Unfortunately, we had to go home early. Mama is not  used to sitting for a long time after her operation last January. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and they say it will take a long time to gain full recovery.

I decided to drop by F. Tañedo and order the cake we’ll be having for the celebration this weekend. I ordered yummy crema de fruta and two cakes, one for JR and one for me. Since my godson will be celebrating his fourth birthday, I decided to order a cute Car Racing cake for him while I ordered a plain round choco cake for me. So to complete the order, I had to write down the greeting to be placed on the cake.

For JR’s Cake: HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY JR, FROM NINANG DAY

Then for my cake: HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY JUDY, FROM EZE

..Fooling myself as if he was the one who ordered the cake for me. Too bad that this is another important day in my life that he’s gonna miss. I can no longer remember all the greatest and deepest points in my life that I didn’t have him beside me. Some of the most important were my highschool grad, my colle grad and many more. Thinking about these things really hurt me because I know that I don’t have any right to demand and all I have is the right to feel bad that the most important man in my life is missing an important day in my life.

Well even though he’s always not around, Eze never failed to make me feel how much he wants to be with me but just got no choice. He also supports me in my decisions and comforts me when I need it plus gets mad at me when I’m crazy. LOLZ! I really appreciate all his efforts. But the distance between us really breaks my heart.

What just inspires me to hold on and smile despite his absence is my faith that in just a few more months or a year or two maybe, and we’re gonna spend every day together. We’ll be celebrating our next birthdays together along with our anniversaries. I really hope and pray that we get enough strength to hold on. The 75 months we spent is no joke and everyday that we had all these years gave us a long list of reasons to hold on and be strong.

I know anything can happen and it would hurt to expect and get disappointed. But what can I do if God made me feel this sure and secured? If in case something happens, I will still have no regrets because Eze really helped me become a better and stronger person.

But a huge part of me really says nothing bad is gonna happen to us. I’m confidence! hahahha

But seriously, I’m confident! I really am..

It’s Kuya’s birthday today but when I woke up, he had left and went back to Pampanga where he lives. He celebrated his day with a few friends and his girlfriend of course. I’m so proud for being the sister of my Kuya! I actually wished we were twins, but it’s still a pleasure to be Joe-D’s sister. Haha

It is now exactly four weeks before my birthday and I really hope to receive my birthday gift from God – my visa!

By the way, I watched a movie with mama this afternoon and we were pleased with what we saw. Mama actually loves watching John Lloyd so we watched “A Very Special Love”. Haha No need to think, just watch and laugh.
