My Kind of Guy

I've been very vocal about how lucky blessed I am having Jeff as my better half. He comes in a complete package with freebies! He is so close to being perfect. In our 11 years of being together, he never raise a hand on me, when we fight he's always the first one to apologize even if it's my fault. I must have done something good for God to reward me such a man and every day I thank him for that.

My cousin and I are talking and she was telling me that she already wants to settle down but still unsure if her boyfriend's the right one. She asked me what traits should she consider, I'm not good in giving advice so I just share Jeff's characteristics so she can at least have some preferences. I'm not asking her to look for Jeff's replica cos I know there's none. Haha! My point lang is, she should look for a loving, faithful and responsible man. A man who'll prioritize his family among other things. Ok, let's start!

1. God fearing
Jeff reads the bible and pray every day. Hindi din sya kakain ng hindi nag tthank you sa food na kakainin nya. Sya din yung naglapit sakin kay God. I don't go to church every Sunday nung dalaga pa ko, when we got married, it's a requirement that we go to church. Kahit puyat, bawal umabsent!

2. Responsible
Jeff has always been a responsible husband/father, he knows what his priorities are and Soleil and I are on top of it.

3. Faithful
This one I'm very proud of. Jeff have shown me his fidelity and his faithfulness is unquestionable. Never in our long years of being together has he cheated on me nor looked at any other woman. Iwee is enough! Hehe.

4. Honest
Sobrang honest nyang tao. He never lie. Sasabihin nya yung totoo kahit alam nyang magagalit ka sa kanya wag lang syang makapagsinungaling. Kaya I'm safe, lahat din ng sweldo and bonuses nya pinapaalam nya saken! Hahaha. And he tells me everything, as in everything. Natatawa nga yung ibang tao kasi kahit hindi ko na dapat malaman sinasabi pa din nya sakin. Haha!

5. Loving
Need I say more?

6. Respectful
He respect his parents the way he respect me and any other people around him. I never heard him na sumagot sa parents nya ng pabalang. I always believe that if a guy respect his parents then he will never ever disrespect you. Do I make sense?

7. Good Provider
As responsible as he was, he's also been a good provider. He provides all our needs especially Soleil's. Never nyang uunahin ang sarili nya tsaka yung mga luho sa katawan. Ayaw nya nun!

Those are just few of the many good traits my husband has. Few example that needs to be on the top of your list if you are to look for a man who you will spend the rest of your life with. Hindi ko naman sinasabi na si Jeff lang yung ganyan, I know madami din naman na lalake na katulad nya, iilan na nga lang sila. My piece of advice, never only settle on what your heart tells you, gamitan din ng utak and evaluate, Does he love you? Is he God-fearing?  Is he responsible? Will he be a good partner/father? Is he faithful? Is he honest? Does he respect his parents? Will he be a good provider? Pag YES lahat ang sagot mo or sobra sobra pa, sya na nga yun kaya GO na!

Valentine's Day: Better Late Than Never

It was like an ordinary day for me. Another Tuesday where I need to wake up at 5:30 am, help Soleil prepare for school and cook breakfast for Jeff, he's on a morning shift this week so I need to cook breakfast, si Soleil kasi bread and milo lang ok na. His breakfast was all done when he woke up, he kissed and greeted me. It's not even 5 minutes after, nagkainisan na kami kaagad. What a way to start the day right? (I'll make another post about what happened).  I went back to sleep para mawala inis ko cos that's what I do when I'm mad, either go somewhere or sleep. He woke me up with kisses then apologize before he leaves.

I was talking to Jeff through IM and Soleil told me to tell his Daddy to come home early because she wants to eat at Chowking, gusto daw nya ng chicharap. Bored na bored na siguro ang anak ko dito sa bahay dahil buong araw tinatanong nya din ako kung hindi daw ba kami lalabas manlang. Anyways, Jeff said he can't leave the office early, so walang kainan na magaganap!

I was browsing Facebook and all I see are pictures of gifts my friends received from their loved ones. I started to think why Jeff didn't even bother to buy me one kahit na flat tops manlang. Nag emote ako sakanya. I only want to know kung ano sasabihin nya pero hindi naman talaga dahil gusto ko ng gift, Ok, part of me wants to receive something from him. Haha!

Me: Nakakainggit tumingin sa Facebook.
Jeff: Baket?
Me: Kasi lahat ng nasa feeds puro gifts na natanggap nila. Ikaw wala manlang binigay saken!
Jeff: Ganon? Haha. Sige ibibili kita.
Me: Sus! Wag na! Kung hindi ko pa sabihin!
Jeff: Baliw! Ibibili talaga kita mamaya bago ko umuwi, pinapangunahan mo kasi ako. Tae ka!

Ang sweet no? Tinawag na kong baliw may additional pa na tae. Hahaha! It's not Jeff without those words. Ganun sya maglambing, if lambing is the right term. Hahahah! -Napahiya ako sa sarili ko ng konti, pero konti lang.

When he arrived home, he handed me this.

These are for Soleil.

He also bought dinner on his way home.

Ang sosyal diba? Pancit canton and balot/penoy.

And that's how my Vday went. Kayo how did you celebrate this day?
