While lying beside each other, him drowning my left hand in his, the one with the precious piece of rock in my ring finger, i looked up wistfully.
And he’d ask me what’s on my mind. And I’ll just say, “Lipay lang ko. Kuyog man ta”
(I am just happy. We are together).
“Kay ikaw bitaw akoang gianhi.”
(you are why I am here)
Happiness in its most basic form.

I will be visiting home for a week soon. He will be asking my hand in marriage from my parents. The expression in his face is priceless, as he has no idea how to go about it.
“Wala pa baya ko kasulay!”, he would say in his defense.
It is hard not to smile (inside out) to be told that his side is happy about the news.
(They pretty much knew about it (proposal) even before he flew all the way here to Singapore.They knew first before I did! ![]()
It still feels surreal on how the pieces fit. Surely there is a very wise and very loving Artist behind each stroke that’s been happening.
We sometimes burst out laughing with the plans that we are concocting. Oh my! the stories we are gonna tell 50 years from now! All we pray for is that for the pieces to fall accordingly in place. They don’t have to be perfect fit, as long as they connect and grant us a path where we could step in.
Small happy steps.

Every girl (sorry for the generalization) dreams of how her wedding would be. Though this changes a million times over the years,there are some things which remains through it all.
I’ve always found myself, whenever I think of weddings, undecided on one particular area.If only i can have both, I would say to myself.I wouldn’t say it yet, cause I really want to keep it private.
And surely, surely, surely again someone up there is listening to my wordless prayers, because it looks like I don’t have to decide after all.I can, after all, have both!
Small happy steps leading to both.

I believe that God is mindful of our wishes. Especially the small ones. Those that we don’t even dare say out loud. I’ve proven this countless times through the years, and every time it happens I feel Him lovingly whisper,
“It is my pleasure to give you the desires of your heart.”
Yes , yes, He desires to see me happy. And I have my small happy steps following His lead.
