"It's such a trip"

We always say that phrase when we realize how much we continue to grow in our relationship. It is such a trip to me that I am in a healthy relationship and to be in a relationship with such an amazing guy. It is such a trip to the both of us because we never would've expected to be together let alone even cross paths with each other. We first attended CI on 2006, but we never formally met until 2010. I have first heard of him as this dude that one of my cabin mates in 2006 was obsessed with. I'm sure some of you know who that is...HAHA!!! xD

Being in this relationship made realize so much. It opened my eyes to a bigger picture. One of the things I truly love about our relationship is that he treats me with enough respect that I deserve. I don't feel like I'm in a pedestal and have to be treated like a queen. That's not who I am, and I don't want to be in that kind of relationship. I love how I am side by side with my guy as we walk in this relationship together. Where we can both enjoy and cherish our friendship, grow together in the relationship, and still have the same exact feelings we felt when we first got together. The thing I wish you get from my sappy story is: never forget those feelings that led you two together. If you guys left those feelings behind that may cause your relationship to hit a plateau, where everything is just going to feel like "same shit, different day." To be honest, I still get butterflies when I know I get to see him that day. I still feel nervous to reach to hold his hand, and I get giddy inside when he holds my hand. Yeah, I said it.

It also made me realize that God truly works in mysterious ways. Everything happened for a reason. We both believe that everything that led up to our relationship until now was truly all the work of God. In His way, in His time. If we met sooner or later in our life, I don't think it would be the same feeling as we have now. That is why I really can't thank God enough for being in a relationship with Chris(topher). He is more than just the boyfriend I could dream of. He is the boyfriend that I need.

It is such a trip, but it is an amazing trip to be in. <9

I just felt like I needed to remember tonight.

REASSURANCE

Sometimes I forget my worth and put myself into a pit. I don't know why, but it happens. However, when I screamed for help you came to my rescue. You help me see what I blind myself from time to time. I can't thank you enough.

Looking back in our relationship, it has been one trip. Our relationship started with knowing only little about each other, but each day we learn new things about one another yet it doesn't feel too different. As I get to know you more, it just gives me more reasons to love you. I can't exactly say "you know you're in a great relationship if..." because this is my first real one, but I can tell you that putting God as your foundation does help give you a pretty stable relationship. I never imagined that I would be with someone who I'm this comfortable with in the relationship. With that, I was able to show who I really am and yet he still loves me. I'm just so blessed. 

I've just never really felt this kind of love before. There is a somewhat difference in the love that friends give and the love that your significant other gives back to you. And in all my years of being "involved" with someone, I've never gotten love back from them. To the point that I became immune to being okay with not receiving love back. However, he has given back the love that I gave him. It's not easy to take sometimes, but it does feel good.

I don't even know what I'm really saying anymore because I'm so tired right now. All I know is that as days go by I happen to catch myself falling in love with my boyfriend more and more.

Is it weird that one of the things that I love most about you is that you take me to sooo many food places I've never been to before, and they're all so good?

Hehehe what can I say, I love my man because he understand my passion and love for food. It's like I'm sharing "a whole new world" to him...

Unbelievable sights, indescribable feeling...HAHAHA what?

Six months (and counting)

Today marks our six months together. Some of you may think that we need to calm down, it's only six months and we're making such a huge deal about it. Welp, guess what...it is to the both of us. This has been the longest and most serious relationship we've both ever been in. So yeah, it's kind of important to us. I don't really want to apologize if we've been sorta spamming you all on Tumblr, Instagram, and even Facebook.

It's because we're happy. We're happy to be together, enjoying every single day we have with each other. God has truly blessed us with such a beautiful relationship. From the very beginning until now, nothing has ever felt natural to me. Even though there were times where fear got the best of me, I still took the chances and went with this little force that was pushing me to go with this flow.

Our relationship is not perfect. Nowhere near perfect. However, its beautiful imperfection gives the unique aspect to our relationship and we embrace it creating an "us." We're two different people, but our differences compliments each other. Our similarities are just the same. It's crazy to think how its working so beautifully. We learn new things about each other and the relationship as well. Taking it one day at a time, and being able to surpass any challenges that has come our way so far. Within six months, we've been through a lot of obstacles and was able to get through with it more than couples who have been together for years. "It takes work, to make it work," my Kuya wrote about his marriage and I agree. The amount of work and effort you put in the relationship, is a few actions of love. I love him, plain and simple.

Thank you, Lord, for us. Without You, we wouldn't be where we are now. I really do feel like one lucky girl to be with such an amazing guy. 

Happy six months, Chris (Christopher, Mac Daddy, Manongbear, Big Booger Bear, etc). You have helped me overcome a lot of fears in my life and I can't thank you enough for that. No words can fully express how grateful I am for you. You've seen me in my highest, and definitely have been there in my lowest. Thank you for being yourself, and sharing pieces of who you are to me. I love you.

Here's to us. Here's to more joys and struggles that comes in our way. May we continue with this relationship in God's love and enjoying every minute of it.
