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.

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!
