Mt. Niasj: Sariaya, Quezon:Dalampasigan Beach Resort trip 2017

Texting 'til late night,can't wait to meet and be together just the two of you even at wee hours of the morning, drawing that beautiful face on a notebook, so eager to know a lot about the other's hobbies and wanting to do things together, impressing each other,making comments about how the other one looks,often disguised as a rude remark-which is often the opposite,watching movies in the living room, copying the other's style and can't help but give gifts and sweet-nothing notes and like every single post on Facebook and tag one another or call each other with words of endearment,spilling deep secrets without boundaries til dawn and forsaking other friendsand then repeat it all over again the next day- this is not US actually.

I chose the title from the famous movie because of the uncanny similarities (except for the situation of course!LOL) - so much details - the age,The Picture of Dorian Gray,a doll -Marilyn Monroe,Richard Sherman's overactive imagination-I'm kind of like him,I should be a novelist.

If you are in love you will always want to be with that person.You find them perfect,without flaw-so infatuated.You pine for that person.

Song of Songs 3:1-3
All night long on my bed
I looked for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
2 I will get up now and go about the city,
through its streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves.

So after being married for seven years and still without a child,with all that we have been through-the ups and downs,sickness,and busyness...They say that the infatuation stage only lasts about 3 years (I went to the I Choose Us marriage seminar).Also based on the book with the same title, God wants us to move toward Love Connection-like that described in Corinthians 13.

verse 4 says:

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

So celebrating anniversaries is really crucial-just the two of you...this year though Francis brought Black Forest Ice Cream so I'm not sure if he should've gotten away with it!

This year we went to Dalampasigan Beach Resort. I just heard about it and I just really want to go to the beach!It has black sand, lots of cottages ,I mean a lot ,there are even horses! I'm stoked.But didn't ask if we could ride them.The whole resort was like all to ourselves and we had to pay Php500 for it.We only get to stay for about 2 hours though because there is no public transportation at night and we got there around 3:30 PM already and such and such.

Marriage sure is a lot of work-stroking the fire of relationship again and again.You can be attracted to anyone,but love is a choice.God's power is made perfect in my weakness.His design and will for marriage is very profound and it must be held in high honor (Hebrews 13:4)
