Happy Birthday Lolo Mario!

Today is the 60th birthday of Bea’s lolo (Marvin’s dad and my father-in-law). We’re supposed to have planned a celebration with catered food and a little party with the family, his co-workers and his friends. But lolo Mario doesn’t want to throw an extravagant party to celebrate his birthday as well as his retirement (he’s scheduled to retire at the end of August after 36 years of working in Meralco). Instead, we had a festive lunch with some close family members last Sunday.

Soft-spoken and a man with a few words he is, the only comment I’ve heard from him about his age is that he‘s now eligible to acquire the senior citizen’s card.

Happy birthday Lolo Mario! To good health and long life =)

When I Met You

Picking out a song for our wedding AVP is one of the stressful parts of the preparations since we don't listen much to music these days due to our busy schedule and we don't consider any theme song. So a music-listening marathon was set every night until we have settled and agreed on one song.

This song soon caught my attention upon hearing it thrice on air. The beat is just perfect, the message is lovely and the duration is long enough for AVP-editing worth. =)


Title : When I Met You
Sung by : Apo Hiking Society


There I was an empty piece of a shell,
Just mindin' my own world;
Without even knowin' what love and life were all about.

Then you came,
You brought me out of the shell;
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world;
And take all my cares away with the aching part of me.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.

You taught me how to love,
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life is diff'rent from the yesterday;
And you, you taught me how to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever.

And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before;
My love, who could ask for more?

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
When I met you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
When I met you.
