A Date with my Hubby!

SIDE A Band: our favorite band

6 days from now, my husband and I will be celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary.

A few days back, we were blessed to celebrate this in advance by watching the concert of our favorite band, Side A. Being based abroad for the past 6 years, it's been a while since we watched a local Philippine band. And what made it even more significant was having our favorite band come to Dubai and perform their classic hits.

My husband and I missed having perfect moments like this - going out on a date and having time out from the stress of work and home responsibilities. No thoughts or even worries about anything else, just enjoying each other's company.

It was a perfect "coffee moment" for us... reminiscing our "girlfirend-boyfriend" days, talking about plans for our future and simply just having a great time.

It's amazing how you can fall in love all over again with the same person.

It's a wonderful feeling to know that I can be friends with the person I love the most and share light moments with. It's an awesome idea to think how in spite of the "ups and downs" of married life and getting to know someone beyond the ideal, our relationship remains to be beautiful through the years.

I am blessed to enjoy such a wonderful gift. Our life as a married couple is never perfect, but it's designed by God for us to enjoy a lifetime of togetherness.

8 years of married life inspired me to come out with a series of blogs on marriage. This will be "The Right Blend" series. Watch out for it soon on Coffee Moments with Sam.

Keep Christ in Christmas: THE LIGHT OF HOPE

"I’m participating in the KEEP CHRIST in CHRISTMAS Blog Link-Up 2013 sponsored by the Catholic Bloggers Network ." Be sure to visit as many links as possible , listed at the bottom of this post. Reflecting on the 1st candle of Advent, the "light of Hope", I was reminded of a story I read as a child. Most of my contemporaries would probably remember "The Little Match Girl" written by Hans Christian Andersen: It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her Mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate. One of the s...

Love at First Sight!

Love is something we experience right from the very moment of our conception. Inside a mother's womb, the first sound a child listens to is the sweet sound of love beating from a mother's heart. The first sight a child first learn to appreciate is the tender gaze of a mother's loving eyes. The first touch a child can feel is the warmth of a mother's embrace. A newborn baby learns to feel love the minute his heart begins to beat. Love simply comes naturally for all of us who are blessed to live. For indeed, LOVE gives birth to LIFE. It is the very essence of our being. It is the very reason for us to fulfill our purpose and destiny.

KEEPING LOVE IN LENT: A Lot About Love... Inspirations from a 4-Year Old

“I’m participating in the Keeping LOVE in LENT Blog Link-Up 2013, hosted by Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints , Truly Rich Mom and Arma Dei: Equipping Catholic Families . We’ll be sharing different ways, tips, stories and real-life experiences that will help us focus on Lenten sacrifices, prayer and good deeds, and how to carry them out with LOVE instead of a GRUMBLE. Please scroll down to the end of the post to see the list of link-up entries." It’s simply amazing how much I can learn from someone so young. A child can definitely teach us - older ones - a lot about love… Out of nowhere, my son told me, “ Faith is my life ”. He was actually referring to his playmate, a girl about his age named, Faith. I honestly didn't know where he learned to say those words, but in the pureness and innocence of his heart he was happy and proud to express it. There was another time he came up to...
