Royce and Neri --Love Moves (In mysterious Ways)

14 years after

We we're just the usual high school freshmen. simple and naive.

most of my classmates have known each other way back their elementary days. since they've come from either same school or have met each other in some school activities. given that, i can say mixing with the group is easy. they are funny, chummy and pretty much easy to get a long with.

I came from far away Marilao, Layra and Liwanag from poetic Balagtas. Madeleine and Anna from Bocaue Central, Pinky from Cutcut (i'm not sure , are you sister?) .

Janieuary, Kiteh and Janet are from Bambang.

See, we came from different backgrounds, but I guess, when you are destined to meet, no matter how different your views from the rest are, you will surely be together.

Everlasting Company wasn't conceived overnight. Afters a year of testing and weighing things if we will get along fine, our leader--it's easy to have a group if there's a leader right?-- Janieuary coined the word Everlasting Company.

We were only 2nd yr high school students, it was January 22, 1991. At first there was only about seven of us. and then Anna came, and later on Pinky.

As a group, we had fun and sad memories of high school life. First love, first heart ache, first boyfriend and so many other firsts...

After hS graduation, we lost touch. Some went to Manila for their college education, some stay in Bulacan.

When Royce and me became steady, we bumped into some of our batchmates so frequently which rarely happened when we are not yet on. Coincidence? Maybe. Seeing these old faces from our school, the urge to meet with my group friends became so intense. I already forgot how it started, how we meet again. But looking back, Everlasting Company has gone a long way.

Though we seldom see each other now, the line of communication is very active. We send emails, pictures, text messages and sometimes we even meet for no reason at all, just for fun.

Last saturday, the 28th -- a week after 22nd-- we celebrated 14 years of everlasting friendship. though some were not around, we are sure that in their hearts, and in ours as well, the friendship lives on! Happy anniversary EC! Click on here to view some of our pics.

100 times

exaggerated it is, but that's really how many times i watched our wedding video. we were only able to get hold of the video, and the album last december and since then, i never fail to watch it on my free times--holidays included.


the pictures are so alive that i found myself reminiscing everything. from the preparation until the day itself.

everybody that we are expecting to see are there to share with our joy, and I can't help but become teary eyed again. however, seeing things now with a much relax state of mind, there are some things that should have been done and handled differently. there may be some should-have- beens, like 1.) i should have kissed my parents and thank them right after they have given me to hubby but due to nervousness and excitement perhaps, I failed to do so. I know they understand my actions, but still, i should have done that. 2.) I should-have-lowered my bouquet to show off my beautiful gown. I feel like I've done nothing to give justice to the work of a good friend Renn, and for that I am sorry. 3.) i shouldn't have been smiling from ear to ear, just for the sake of the pictures and videos that is, because I am not that pretty on them, he he he. But I guess when you are truly happy, no matter how you concealed it, it will definitely show. just like what happened to me, see.

i promise myself, I will do it better next time. Uhmmm... sweet can we renew our vows on our anniversary? he he he... just asking...

Christmas 2005

it's our fifth christmas together and the first one as husband and wife. 2005 has been a good year for both of us. sure there are trials, but there are lots of good memories too that kept us going during those hard times.

during the holidays, hubby and i were able to spent some more quality time together. we were also able to buy some furnitures for our little sweet home, cook some good food {sawa na sa fast food :-( } and rest some more.

knowing what we've gone through on the last quarter of 2005, we just hope that year 2006 will give us more success in building our own family. we are eagerly looking forward to seeing that two pink stripes again, and wish that the blessing will stay with us forever.


Happy new year!
