Unang Sayaw Bilang Mag-Asawa (First Dance)

Unang Sayaw Bilang Mag-Asawa (First Dance)

One of the sweetest moment during my wedding was our first dance together. I just appreciate it upon watching the video of our wedding. I loved the way we danced the songs...

I felt the love of my husband through the tight embrace while dancing, through tears of Joy from his eyes, and through the sweet kiss during the dance.
During the song, a prayer of thanksgiving was in my heart while dancing with closed eyes.
In the middle of the song, family and friends came to give monetary gifts seems that they're not there. I cant even remember who those people were because of mounting joy in my heart to dance with my husband...
Song: Panalangin ko sa habang buhay... makapiling ka...makasama ka ...yan ang panalangin ko...
Tip: Choose a song that will guide your marriage life...
this was the song during our first dance..

Cellphone for Filipino Catholics

Recently i bought a new phone dual sim because i had a hard time having two phones for different phone lines (sun and globe). I was looking for the phone which i can be used as camera  to take photos during house visits and ofcourse with high memory, and the most important not expensive.

I saw Eden's (my business partner) phone, she said she bought it for 5,000 pesos and it's already dual sim. I decided to buy the same phone that she had. I found one a bit different model and slightly cheaper and bought it at 4,700 pesos.

I was very happy having the new phone with dual sim  But what was so interesting and made me happier is  it's PINOY FEATURE that you can actually hear jokes,Filipino heroes words of wisdom and for the Catholics you can also her Catholic prayers, the novena and rosary. POWERFUL. I love it and i recommend it to all parents to give this to their child as their phone wherein anywhere they can pray and when they want to laugh they can always hear jokes. The phone is MYPHONE.

Now almost everyday I pray the rosary through the phone but take note of the time you want to pray because everytime there's a text message or the phone ring the prayer stops and you have to start again. :-) Nevertheless, choose the best time that you think you dont have caller or texter.

Whoever made this phone i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have such a brilliant mind.

Parents or Future parents you may want to consider Myphone in giving phones to your children.

Suggested Couple's Activity: Couples Caring Group

Couples Caring Group

Last February we started the couples caring group where we meet at Market Market Mall Every Sunday.

What is caring group? Group of 8-12 people where we share the love of God initiated by Light of Jesus Family headed by Bro Bo Sanchez. The group discusses the sharing of Bro Bo every week in the Feast where he give series of talks for certain topics.

Couples Caring Group- group composed of married couples.

Sharing: We share our weekly blessings which we are all being reminded to count our blessing every week. We also give insights for the topics being shared at the Feast applied as couples.

Other Activities: At the caring group we share our different espcialization as individual. Our knowledge on certain topics like business, online marketing, real estate.

(wall climbing activity after the caring group meeting)
Individual Treatment: We treat other as we have found a new spiritual family.

This is a very suggestion for couples like us to improve our relationships as couple. Because we are growing and learning together to be closer to God and to serve God.

Spending Holidays as Couple

Spending Holidays as Couple

For newly wed couples I discover that it would be very hard to decide where to go on special occasions during Christmas and New Year.

Our family normally attends Christmas Eve’s mass together and on New Year, an automatic reunion with close relatives and some of them spend the New Year’s Eve with us. 

I know I cant be with them with one of these occasions because we have to divide our time, me and my husband as to where to spend these holidays.

We have decided to be with my husband’s family on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. It was well spent holidays, a close bonding with immediate families.

Christmas Eve we attended the Catholic Mass at San Roque Parish in Pateros where we were we also watched Christmas presentation of the church members before the mass at 10pm followed by dinner  and simple gift giving at home will all the family members. My husband was so excited to buy gifts for his mother and brother because it will be his first time to give gifs to them on Christmas. He chose the gift for his brother and I chose the gift for his mother- simple items that we think they could use.

Just the same on New Year’s Eve we had dinner with my family after  welcoming the 12 midnight. We also throw coins to children on the street and portions inside the house. We had to throw it outside because we don’t have children at home to catch. Well, we had more fun

Next  year we it would be different we will be spending the Christmas Eve with my family and the New Year’s Eve with my husband’s family.

We look forward to spending again the holidays with our beloved family.

Photo of my Father's Painting as Book Cover

Harvest Painting for Abundance



My father painted this about 2 years ago it's actual size is 34" x 50" (we are not selling it because it's the biggest painting that my father made but of course at the right price i will force him to paint it again haha) anyway i took photo of it and made a blog http://amako.wordpress.com/2007/11/ this is my first blog which i have not updated for almost a year not until i received a strange comment asking if how much is the painting and more importantly when i received an email last night asking if he could use the picture of the painting to reprint a book. (i'll tell you the name of the book once he already got the copyright in 2 weeks time)

Prior to this email i was praying to God to give me the wisdom of how i can give them additional income stream for my parents. As you may my father is already 59 yrs old and he cannot sell his paintings anymore on the street as what he was doing before (paint then sell literally on streets, subdivisions, wholesalers and retailers). So here's God's answer a foreigner from Netherlands will use the photo of painting as cover of the book and he will pay father just enough for their 3 months allowance. Nonetheless it was still an additioanal income stream which i dont know how it happens (of course i know that dutch guy saw the picture from my old blog but isnt it strange?) but that is our BIG God HE knows what to do to answer our needs and wants.

Todate if you are asking the price we sellthe painting at Php 3,500 size 24"x36" (i know you're asking how much the painting is )

Im so excited to see the actual book but more excited is my Father ( the publisher will put his name on the book)

For those who have his painting ... watch out he'll be more popular :-)

Wedding Gown: Filipino Themed Wedding Gown inspired by Leah Salonga gown

I had my dream wedding gown!

This is Leah Salonga's gown when she got married. I saw this on T.V way back 2006 and told my self I want that conservative look gown on my wedding day. I searched on the materials she used and made some improvements. So now here's the leah salonga's look a like gown with marivic salva's touch !

Leah's gown used the dutchess cloth for skirt and french alchelon lace - an off white color.

I used the dutchess cloth also on a pure white color with a french lace also but not alchelon (it's very hard to find and you've got to buy in bulk).

I added embroidery to the 1st piece of skirt (you see there's two layer- which makes the labor more expensive)

I had the cathedral fine tool veil 8 meters long (i loved it!)

Accessories? just like leah salonga i wore a simple a pair earings.. no necklace.. no watch... and others.

However to complete the filipino theme we accessorize it with filipino hats.

While Christian is wearing the newest style in Barong Tagalog it is embroidered with "pintado" native design in mindanao which is used to be a tattoo".


By the way our gowns are for sale: Why? We cant use it anymore so better at least get money out of it of course at a discounted price.

Unforgettable Wedding March of the Bride

The Catholic Wedding Ceremony was held at Our Lady of Remedies Malate. While i was in the car i told my self that i wont cry while walking the down isle i'll be happy as i am...
the big door opens for me to enter my cathedral veil pulls me back through the wind .. i was still smiling to the people that i see... im so excited to greet everyone in the church... im so excited to see my groom.

But when i heard the shaking voice singing " ikaw ang bigay ng may kapal....... --- it was Christian singing ... i was still smiling and at the same time...shaking.. because i want to hold on the tears...
Everyone who knows Christian knew that he was not the martin nievera or gary valenciano type of singer but at that moment..at that time... for me he was the grand champion in an international singing contest.... it was the sweetest voice of a love song for me... Christian sang the 1st portion of the song and followed by my friend Ate May Rodriguez ..(some people thought that it was me singing... hehe) That moment was unforgettable not only to me but to all the people who witnessed that special part of our wedding.

Our Untold Love Story

I met my one true love at my 2nd year high. He was the “good boy image” meaning home-school boy, he doesnt hang out with other boys if it's not related to school. He was also intelligent especially in Mathematics- that on the contrary my lowest grade recorded in my life hehe. HE used to be my tutor in that subject. With these youthful reasons i liked him considered my first true love. Unfortunately He didnt like me though i swallowed my pride before the end of our second year high i told him i like him/ i love him but he told me he love me as a friend (so painful that i told my self that i will never do that again- tell guys that i like them, will never make moves, let the guys make the move)so for years we were just BEST FRIENDS… ( i accepted lower level better than loose him at all) . But the feelings remain.. for months, one year..two years.. and every year counts from the time i met him.

I had boyfriends (of course! i was young, beautiful, and intelligent (except math)- that's what you call confidence! haha) i dont want to let my self be closed to one guy who doesnt love me the way i wanted to haha) but every relationship last only for 3-6months and everytime i break it up i always go to christian and cry and at the back of my mind i was hoping if it was him i would have not cried (still hoping)


…..and finally i’ve been into a relationship, serious relationship not to Christian but to a Chinese guy, (it must be because i was already 25 years old that time) my MBA classmate…but before i gave my Love to this pure blooded Chinese (doesnt even know how to speak tagalog) i still i hoped that my Best Friend can love me more than a friend, i asked him "do you want me to go with this guy to china? unfortunately still i’ve got cold response he said "kung sa kanya ka masaya (if you are happy with him)" . (kainis di nya talaga ko type!)

Finally when i was about to leave to China to follow my Chinese boyfriend, Christian and i had a chance to go to tagaytay for a business trip (i didnt tell him that i was already preparing to leave )…it was the sweetest moment i had with him- laughing out loud...walking in the rain upon going to the piggery (the business we're supposed to enter into).. we had lunch in bulaluhan and made long long converstation along the road. It was our first time to be together that long enough to talk about everthing we had the past years, business, family and etc.

Because as you may know for 12 years we go out for a dinner, movies, short talks, and would you believe i was the one asking him to go out!!!! even attending birthdays of our common friend i was the one pushing him to attend...but at that moment we were in tagaytay, in bulaluhan (picture above we're not in the picture because i went back to take a photo of that place for my documentation hehe ), at the bus, …that’s the time he realized I am the woman he’s waiting for (that's according to him) - tip: it really takes Quality time to know someone deeply. It doesnt matter how long you've known someone but the quality time you've spent together.

After that day in Tagaytay, EVERYDAY he texts me, he picks me up in the office, chat with me online, ask me out for dinner (which is for the first time he did for the past 12 years) and for the 1st time he gave me roses and chocolates on a valentines day- February 2007. But didnt give special meaning yet about what he was doing not until i recieved a 3 page long love letter detailing what he has done for 12 years to ignore me, ignore his feelings and looked to other girls but didnt have any formal relationship. and

Powerful Words from Christian: "long before, God is telling me to love you but i keep resisting, and for 12 years, you and God is shaping my heart to love you until that tagaytay day"

….at first i turned away from him because i didnt expect that behind our friendship he'll now feel the feelings i had for him for years. As you know when i asked him if i can go with that guy in China i already forego the hope that Christian and I can still be together (despite that i think my subconcious didnt let him go even just for a second)

I turned away because i know i have a boyfriend waiting in China and but an invisible hand moved mysteriously, my chinese boyfriend was accepted in a company in Dubai and going to Dubai is more difficult for me than going to China. So there I had time to think over, i asked older people, friends, what's the best advise to get in to choosing between Christian and that Chinese guy. Then i remember the book “How to Find One True Love” by Bo Sanchez…. when i was reading that book i only thought of person who perfectly fits all my checklist in love Bo said dont settle for less than you're checklist otherwise you will always find that missing piece in your checklist all time of your relationship and i cant think other person …it’s, CHRISTIAN LIBRAMONTE ANGELES, We’ve been friends for 12 years and gone through a lot things, 1st true love never dies ant it's true for me and he was the one i wrote in my diary (ill show you my diary ) 12 years ago that he is my dream guy and my one true love….the waiting is over-- definitely i chose Christian.

Relationship that's was purified by love and God

Last November 30, 2008 at the Kerygma Conference 2008 we’ve made a commitment to God being in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship be pure. FANTASTIC!

Now! Im going to marry my dream guy, my mr right, my one true love,my God's Gift.

"once he told me in our prayer time- im sorry i cannot give you your dream wedding then i sweetly replied " You are my dream man and I already have my dream wedding"
