Be someone whom she can trust and depend. Give only the best for the women in your life, meaning not only your wife or girlfriend, but also your grandma, sister, mom, and your women friends. All women deserve only the best.

As men, it is our duty to make them feel secure, love them, and give them nothing but the best. Protect their rights, look after their welfare, and protect them from all harms.

Give them the best gift as a package, containing the gift of love, understanding and care. Aside from that, Make sure to provide them only with the best home, where they will be stress free, and relaxed. Aside from all the supplements they can take to remain fit and healthy, love is the best vitamin for women, because they want to always feel loved and taken cared of.

And with your wife, be a good provider, don’t make her worry too much, because worrying makes women unhappy. Don’t give her a reason to be jealous, and always stay by her side, no matter what.

I still have eleven days to think about it, but I want it to be perfect. I’m sure my parents and siblings are also thinking of what to give her.

Everytime I ask grandma if there’s something that she wish to have, she would always say, what else she could wish for in this life, when she already has everything. She lived her life to the fullest, and gave her all in loving God and  the people she loves, most especially the late abuelo.

Abuela is not materialistic, it’s easy to make her smile because she’s always contented with the things she has. She is happy whenever she does gardening, and she loves flowers a lot. She also have a bonsai plant collection. But I want my gift this year to be something really special. A gift that’s worth for the world’s best grandma, because I love my grandma so much!

They really enjoyed their vacation. It’s also like their honeymoon because they weren’t able to go on a honeymoon after getting married early this year. His wife Rina has been asking for a break, but it took awhile before Nathan’s boss finally approve his leave from work.
It’s also a summer break and vacation and the same time, so it was really a great timing. They were also able to take advantage of the discounted rates because Rina has booked everything really early.He told me that they already have their own place and car, but they are also hoping that their rv loans will be approved soon enough so they can carry out their plan to purchase one for his parents.
They already have all the things they wanted aside from this, perhaps it’s about time. Next year, they plan on having a kid, so I guess, right now, while they have the chance to enjoy, they should enjoy each others company, and to buy all the things they want, because when the baby comes, everything will be focused on him/her.

But despite the eye problem, the girl remains to have a good attitude towards life. She is not only pretty inside out, but is also witty. I no longer wonder why my friend Israel fell in love with her almost instantly.

Well, he admitted to have fallen inlove with her the very first time he met her. At first, he was hesitant about the idea of meeting someone who had a disability, but he said he will never dare miss that date or change it for anything, otherwise he would be missing the one he has been waiting for his entire life.

The blind date turned into true love between two people who have seen and felt love beyond their differences. They are soon to be married.

However  sometimes Israel gets concerned about his skin problems like that nodule acne because their big day is happening soon and he want to look perfect for that day. We tell him not to worry much about it, it will just go away soon, besides Trina won’t see those anyway. They look really good together and will make a perfect couple.

He blushes every time he sees her. They first met at the community church. The new kid is very neat and feminine, and she’s just as old as Pao. For some reason, my little brother kept looking at her and then when we got home, he was asking my younger sister Amari to ask what the girl’s name is, and we started teasing him. He would try to change the topic and then go somewhere else.

We used to tease him to this other chubby girl in the church’s choir who is 2 years older than him. But he is always irritable and would say mean things like he can’t stand seeing the girl’s face that needs acne solutions. But with this new girl, he would just blush and keep quiet. Looks like my youngst brother has finally met his first crush.

We are going to the vacation beach house where we went to during the year end holidays. It will be the first time in a long time that Dee and I will be able to spend some time alone.

Mom and Abuela will be taking care of little Iñigo while we are away fro three days. Yeah, you read that right! It will be a three days extended out of town Valentine’s date for me and my wife.

They’re all joking about us having a chance to have another baby, but I doubt it. We currently are using natural birth control method to prevent having another kid while we’re not ready. Besides Dee is happy even if we only have Iñigo, and I’m also contented that way. Perhaps it will be a long time before we give him a baby sister or a brother. While we are away, Iñigo will be pretty busy with his lessons and maybe watching the new educational videos that we bought for him and the ones that were sent by my Aunt together with the HDTV, gaming consoles and other toys. I think he will do just fine because our little boy is growing up fast, and responsible at that. Dee and I are happy that we will finally get to have a vacation after all these years. I’m looking forward to that day and I’m so excited spending a special moment with my beloved wife.

Whether it’s us getting wed, friends, or members of the family, we all share the same joy and well wishes for the brand new start of a family, where two people unite in love and for the common purpose of dedicating their lives a s a couple to God.

I only had a civil wedding due to some unavoidable circumstances, but I still wish that one day me and my wife Dee will get wed in the church just as I promised her. I hope that when that time comes, her parents will be there and will finally accept us as a couple. After all, we already have our son, and until now we are still praying that Dee’s mom will finally forgive us.Year 2010 wedding bells are starting to ring and will continue until the year ends. This is a year where I even got early wedding invitations from friends who have decided to marry on 10/10/10, and they have given away the invitations as early as new year for good luck. I will be sending mine out probably in the next years to come. I’m not really particular about the date, what matters more is that I will be able to fulfill that promise and my wife’s dream of walking down the isle.

If you happened to be a book worm just like me, you know how significant it is to always have a bookmark ready. Oftentimes, people do not put importance to this, but if you come to think of it, a reader’s best tool is the bookmark — with it you never get lost in your reading adventures.

Many people do not treasure their favorite bookmarks, but there are some who does and with these bookmarks holds the lifetime memories of the books you’ve read for so many years. Bookmarks are also underrated form of communicating with friends and even for writing or sending love notes.  i have personally experienced the power of bookmarks. My wife is a certified bookworm, and sometimes I just insert bookmarks  with love quotes in the book she’s reading — and she did not really say anything about it ever since I started doing it until recently, when I found a box filled with bookmarks. I was so surprised to find out that she has kept them all these years. Bookmarks are also an underestimated medium for advertising. Attractive bookmarks can actually make avid readers interested in other books or materials featured in the free bookmarks that comes together with every purchase of a book. This is why many publishers often consider bookmark printing together with books.  Avid readers hardly miss the smallest details, that’s why some marketers even write addresses or the web site url at the bottom of the bookmarks.
