The Maricar Reyes - Richard Poon Wedding

The Maricar Reyes and Richard Poon Wedding Video

                 When I watched this video of Maricar and Richard, i can't help but flash a smile on my face and feel that "Kilig" .. I felt the sincerity upon hearing the exchange of their vows and amazed to know that they only had their first kiss on their wedding day .. 

                 I could still remember the time when Maricar's name was dragged into controversy and been on a scandalous news few years back .. I didn't get to see her video with that, ugh ., but I heard a lot of comments from people who were able to watch it .. People waited for her to speak up even though many negative remarks had already been said, still, Maricar chose to be quiet and kept her silence .. And it was, i think what most people admire about her ., including me ..

                 After getting into that certain kind of scandal, I don't know how one would be able to gain respect and appreciation from anyone, especially from guys .. That is why I am so happy that someone like Richard Poon still exists. Someone who has accepted her and her past., Someone who has given Maricar so much respect and dignity which might have lost before., Someone who brought her first to the Altar before anywhere else .. I just love the fact that this kind of love story is still and really happening ..

                 With this event happening in their life, I truly wish for every girl or woman to experience this type of love story .. After all, every woman deserves that certain kind of love and respect and deserves someone like Richard Poon .. 

                 To Maricar and Richard Poon, though we may not know each other, still, I wish you the best as newleyweds! :)

Just Give Me A Reason

Just Give Me A Reason Official Music Video

by Pink feat. Nate Ruess of Fun

                 For weeks now, this song has been playing in my head ... Guess, I've been suffering from LSS or Last Song Syndrome for a long time now .. Mom even noticed that I played this on repeat and asked me, what's with the song ... why i like it? Well, I don't know. Can I relate with  its lyrics? No. Not at all.

            But then again, what's the message of the song? How would one interpret it? Syempre, kanya-kanya yan. On my part, in my opinion, I think it is about a couple whose relationship is on the rocks. One sees the inconsistencies and recognizes that there is something wrong and the other is in denial. There are lines that goes:

"Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love"
 

"I thought that we were fine
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'

And it's all in your mind"

One thinks that it's already over and the other still trying to fix everything. Both have different thoughts but both still have the same feeling for each other and just wanting to have a reason for staying and save the relationship, as song title says. "Just give me a reason". Do I have a point? Am I right? 

    

                 Hmm. . This kind of situation in a relationship, does it happen? Can it happen? I guess, it does. I've heard similar story from different couples. I've seen relationships falling apart due to certain issues. Couples where in one is already unhappy and has given up and the other still trying to hold on ... Or couples who knew that their relationship is not working anymore but still can't let go ... Why? Why is it that are people who still clings, who holds on and not letting go?? Why? Surely, You'll get a lot of answers to this question from those people ... like: "We've been together for a long time. Sayang naman." and the most popular, "I still love him/her" or "Mahal ko pa siya".

                  Attachment. Love. Yes, these are some of the major explanations why one would choose to stay and keep the relationship. Having to call it quits with the relationship where one has gotten so attached and in love with, will have to wake up one day that he/she is already alone and things had come to an end .. So instead of losing everything, instead of losing that special person, one would hold on to a single reason for staying ... and even if the reason is just a simple and ample amount of LOVE that was left. Just like in the song:

"Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again"

                 Well, siguro nga ganun nga talaga pag nagmahal .... maybe that's how love works .. So if my interpretation of the song is correct and the same with most of the people, probably, a lot my relate with the song ... and no wonder why I often hear this song anytime, anywhere ... :)

Mother's Day Special :)

                 Last May 12, 2013, we all celebrated a very special event intended for the most important woman in our lives ... our Mother .. And as we remember our mother on this extraordinary occasion, definitely, we all made sure that she will treasure this day ..

                 For our family, we knew that an occasion can be very special no matter how simple we celebrate such event .. So we decided to first attend mass in St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina Shrine in Eastwood, Libis, then had our lunch in Chocolate Kiss located at the UP Bahay ng Alumni of the University of the Philippines.

                 Aside from celebrating this affair with my family completely together, what we also truly enjoyed, are the foods that were served to us at Chocolate Kiss ..

The Chocolate Kiss Cafe Menu

The Hickory Grilled Spareribs

                 This dish is deliciously done with a perfectly grilled spareribs covered with the right blend of sweet sauce.                                  

Sukiyaki

                 It is almost a complete meal since it consists of noodles, beef and mushroom and vegetables such as cabbage and carrots. It was our first time to try this dish, wondering what it actually taste like, and good thing! one would truly enjoy having Sukiyaki on his/her table.

Grilled Tanigue

                 A meal perfect for my lola, who has to maintain a healthy and well balanced diet. Grilled fish or tanigue placed on top of various kind shredded veggies is just so good.

 The Chocolate Kiss specialty Cakes

                Probably, the most awaited part of every meal ... the desert. Chocolate Kiss' specialty cakes includes the Sour Cream Cake, Chocolate Moist Cake, Walnut Cake and the Cookies and Cream Cake. Every cake has its own, unique, delicious taste. But my favorite would be the Walnut Cake. It was not so sweet and has the right amount of nuts.

                    Although the Cafe's ambiance, i think, might need a little improvement, our family truly enjoyed all the foods that were served. Our simple celebration for Mother's Day had been meaningful. :)
