Dreaming of YOU

Before we got together, I would always have dreams of Gabriel. Every night I see him in my dreams and I would wake up smiling and thinking about him all day. I didn't understand why he would always pop in my dreams, but now I know why. My dreams came true!


Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me
And I wonder if you know I'm there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside? Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you, yes, I do

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming about you and me

Corazon
(I can't stop dreaming of you)
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
(I can't stop dreaming of you)
Como te necesito
(I can't stop dreaming of you)
Mi amor, como te exstraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe that you came up to me
And said, "I love you," I love you too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
'Til tomorrow and for all of my life
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly

Dreaming with you tonight
'Til tomorrow I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room, dreaming with you endlessly
(I'll be dreamin')

Dreaming of you tonight
(Endlessly)
And I'll be holding you tight
('Till tomorrow)
Dreaming with you tonight!
(Endlessly)
(Endlessly)
(Endlessly)
(Dreaming)

Let the Magic Begin...

Today I surprised Maria by taking her to Disney's Grand Californian Hotel!

My long elaborate plan was finally in it's last stages of completion, and in full motion. Phase 1: Viva Las Vegas! The first step was to tell Maria I was going out of town to Las Vegas this weekend for my good friends Abby's 30th Birthday (Happy Birthday Abby!!!).

Gabriel and his surprises!!! He said that He and I were going to Las Vegas this weekend for our mini vacation, but instead He surprised me by taking me to Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. Once we arrived at the Grand Californian Hotel, I was very confused and surprised all at the same time. Once again, I am full of smiles and very much happy because of what he does for our relationship. I can't wait for what else is to come for this weekend. I love you, my mahal! You are wonderful and thank you so much for all the things that you do! Muah!!!

The things you do!

Today was such a beautiful day! After a long talk last night with Gabriel and not enough sleep for the both of us, He decided to have lunch with me on my lunch break. I love it when he is spontaneous and full of surprises~! He made my day. After having lunch with him, I went back to work very happy and full of smiles! I love you very much, my mahal!

My Heart, My Everything

My heart has wings... and I can fly!

I smile....

because of you! You bring happiness into my life. No matter what mood I am in, you always seem to know how to make me smile. I love you with every beat of my heart. I love you for everything. I love you because of who you are. I love you because I do!

"Sometimes on your way to a dream you get lost... 
and find a better one."

I love my mahal tttthhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssss much!

I do, I do, I do! :)

2nd year!

To my mahal: L stands for LOVE. I thank God for you! It has been such a very beautiful 2 years with you. And I will forever hold our "phone" years in my heart because that is when it all began. I love you so much, Gabriel! And I can't wait for what God has in store for us. Happy 2nd year Lovesary!

Mahal Kita!

Thought I'd stop by and say Mahal Kita, Gabriel!

He surprised me! (:

On April 18, 2011 Gabriel surprised me to dinner for our 2 year "Datesary". He had it all planned out. He called my cousin Mir into tricking me. He asked my cousin to ask me to plan a "dinner" date. Mir and I were supposed to go to Cheesecake Factory, but that was not the case. All along Mir and I weren't going to dinner at all. Gabriel instead took me to dinner at HT Grill where he and I went on our first date. We call it "Datesary" because it's been 2 years since we went on our first date. I was very surprised last night! I was happy and excited!!! I am very blessed and thankful to have Gabriel in my life. He is such a romantic and full of surprises! muah!

Happy 2 Year Datesary!!!

It's Official!

Gabriel and I are now "engaged to be engaged". We are going to plan to get married in the near future. I am very happy, excited, and filled with joy because I am ready to take this step with my mahal. We have so much to look forward to in planning for our future. We also know that our family and friends are going to support and guide us in this exciting time.

4/10/11

As of today, we are officially engaged to be engaged! :)

I am so excited for what the future has in store for us!

I love you Maria, with all my heart!

Our Hopes and Dreams

For the past few months, Gabriel and I have been talking about our future together. We are very excited for what the future holds. He and I are trying not to rush it so much because if we do then we are going to be very overwhelmed. We talk about getting married and having a family. Little kids running around the house calling us "mommy" and "daddy" brings a smile on my face. All these thoughts are wonderful and we both know that there are so much more to do before we can actually have what we want. I want Gabriel to know that I am 100% supporting him in any decisions he makes about us. I also want him to know that I trust him in everything that he does with his life, our lives together, and for the future. I can't wait to make memories of the future because I know Gabriel and I can accomplish any challenges that he and I go through. We both are loving and very caring for each other.

You, Me, and Spaghetti & Meatballs

I can't help but smile and giggle every time I come across this picture. Gabriel made this for me way back when in 2006 or 2007 because the picture bothered him every time he saw my profile picture on myspace. I know the picture looked odd with just myself in the picture because it had so much blank space. Gabriel drew himself as a stick figure holding a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs next to my school girl outfit. Gabriel had me laughing when he sent this to me. And if you are wondering why he is holding a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, it is because he wanted to take me out to dinner for some pasta. The funny thing about it is; we didn't even have spaghetti and meatballs on our first date. We had chicken piccata! We didn't go out to eat spaghetti and meatballs until it was probably our 4 monthsary! And as you look at the picture, you will probably notice that it says "strawberry short cake" and "jolly bean giant". He used to call me strawberry short cake because I am short and I called him Jolly Bean Giant since he is a Giant!

Meant To Be

Looking at my relationship with Gabriel, I can honestly say that I am very blessed to know him. He gives me the courage, motivation, and inspiration to live each day with a smile on my face. I love him dearly!

....But here is something you might not know about our relationship in the past. Our relationship almost did not happen. I don't like looking back at that moment, but at the same time it makes me smile because the quote by Richard Bach's, "If you love someone, you've got to set them free. If they come back to you, it was meant to be" is true. There was a moment in our relationship when Gabriel had to let me go. It was very hard for me to accept that he did not want to be a part of my life anymore. I remember that evening as if it were yesterday. It was late in the evening and I knew that I wanted to speak to Gabriel. I called him up because I wanted someone's lending ears, and I chose him to be that person because I knew that he would listen to me and help with advice, but little did I know that Gabriel was not in the mood anymore to be the person he once was with me. I don't recall exactly what the conversation was about. All I can remember was the sadness I felt in my heart. He had told me that he didn't want to do this anymore. And that it felt like nothing was happening and therefore we should end the "relationship". He also said that he wasn't going to be there for me anymore. He said good bye and the next thing I knew, all I heard was the dial tone. After it was all said and done, I couldn't believe what I had heard over the phone. Tears came running down my cheeks and I felt like I lost my best friend [even though we only had a "phone" relationship]. I felt heartbroken all over again and didn't want to have feelings for someone anymore! I also felt angry and kept telling myself that maybe it was the best thing to let me go. I had to tell myself that Gabriel and I wasn't meant to be together. Gabriel and I didn't talk for a month. I missed him so much. I wanted to call him, but I knew that he wasn't going to answer the phone. I also waited for his calls and myspace/text messages, but there was nothing. I felt the month of March 2009 was not complete because I knew I wanted, needed, and missed Gabriel.

Moreover, March 2009 went by pretty quickly and now it was April (09). I still thought about Gabriel and how much I missed him. I remember talking to my cousin Christian about Gabriel. I asked Christian if I should send Gabriel a text message. I actually asked for Christian's advice and to my surprise I listened to him. And so I picked up my cellphone and sent Gabriel a message and I did not have to wait long for Gabriel to reply back because in that instant he replied back. Gabriel and I started having a conversation through text messaging. He and I text message each other until 2 am in the morning. He sent me a message asking me if I wanted to go out to dinner with him on saturday (April 18, 2009: I will never forget that date!). When I received the text message, I have to tell you that I stared at the text message for a good one minute. I had to think about what my answer was going to be. I finally replied back with a "yes, let's have dinner. " And from that moment on it was history. We had our first date on April 18, 2009. Gabriel and I have been together ever since.

In conclusion, it is true that when you love someone so deeply and things don't seem to work out, you have to let them go in order to see if you both can work things out on your own, and if you both are meant to be together it will happen and both of you will come back to each other. I am thankful to God that Gabriel and I are meant to be together. We realized a lot of things while we were apart from each other. We missed each other and knew that we wanted to be together.

The VERY FIRST pictures of Gabriel & Maria

These are the very first pictures of Gabriel and I. These pictures were taken on April 25, 2009. It was my nephew's birthday party held at my house.

This picture was taken outside in the backyard with my family. Alyssa (my niece), Myself, Gabriel, Michael (my brother), Melissa (my niece), Gabby(sister in law), and Mark (cousin)

This one also is basically almost the same picture except my other niece Angelynne is in it. Angelynne knew Gabe already before anybody else in the family because she had talked to Gabe on "myspace" a while back circa 2006. :)

Gabriel, Myself, and Alyssa.

He thought of ME

Do/Did I really say....

"Is it me, or is it hot in here?" *That is funny because yes I do say that!


"Let's go get matching tattoos?" *This one is hilarious because I do say that to Gabriel~


"I see how you look at other sauces!" This one is my favorite because they refer to the ladies as "other sauces"


"I'm with the band!" *I definitely DID say that but that was when I was about 21 years young and thought I was a groupie! LOL

You.make me happy, that's what I've learned from this time a part from you!

For the meantime

With our busy (sort of) schedule due to both of us working, Gabriel and I try our best to spend as much time as possible with one another. We have our date nights on wednesdays, fridays, half day on saturdays, and sunday fun day. And during mondays, tuesdays, thursdays, and saturday nights, Gabriel and I try to spend our time talking via phone or texting. We also try to communicate with each other on Windows Live Messenger and on the webcam. I know some of you might think that this is too much. I can't speak for Gabriel, but I like the way we try to spend time with each other. It may be too much, but being able to communicate with him while I am not able to be with him is something that I treasure most. I love being able to have contact with him. I appreciate and treasure every second, hour, day, night...moments with him~

Not so MTV Cribs

This is one of the reason why I fell in love with Gabriel. He showed me the way......




This video also takes me back to those days when Gabriel and I only had a relationship over the phone. I should have known from the start that he would be the one to make every little thing seem worthwhile. I can't believe this video still puts a smile one my face! :)

If I could...I would!

I really woulddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flowers for Valentine's Day

Gabriel had given me flowers for Valentine's Day and I am amazed at how the flowers lived for a month. I took very good care of the flowers and I believe the reason why the flowers lived a long while is because Gabriel and I have a strong relationship and the fact that we love each other is what kept those flowers alive! :)

Trust

"The best proof of love is trust."


"You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible."


"Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go."

"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."


"“Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation. “

"In this world

love has no color

yet how deeply

my body

is stained by yours."

And I love her...

Maria, I love you.

....

Since Gabriel is too busy with his other website, I will try my best to actually blog again on this site. I honestly want to just do everything on this website, but at the same time I prefer to have both Gabriel and I blog!

1.1.11

2010 was another amazing year with my mahal. I am looking forward to a new journey with you in 2011. I'm thankful for everything we have accomplished together and many more to come. We have had our ups and downs in 2010, but we have always seem to work things out because we love each other deeply. I want to become a better person for you, myself, and our relationship.

My mahal, I just want you to know that you don't need to change anything about yourself because everything about you is amazing! You have taught me everything there is to know about love and I hope that we will continue to love, cherish, and care for each other in 2011. I believe that God is guiding us by allowing us to have Faith, Hope, and Love for one another. I do not know what I would do without you, Gabriel!

I love you, Gabriel!
