CLM: My 2nd giftset

I wrote this on a travel themed pad so the words have been altered a bit but this is my draft:

Dear Charles,

Prelude:

Surprise!! I hope you like my first gift set! As you already know, i like giving you mixed emotions sa aking mga regalo kaya kapartner ng pangaasar kong yun ay ang second part ng anniv gift ko for you. Just as i am half bully, i'm also half sweet. Dibaaaa? (Charles: oo naman!)

Dear Charles, look o, napili ko ang theme na TRAVEL because our relationship for the past year is full of road trips. Halos every week nagttravel tayo..lalo ka na Province of Cavite-QC-Province of Cavite. Plus, we are now counting down the days to our first of countless out of the country trips together. Yey! I. Am. So. Excited! But I'm pretty sure mas excited ka! Because that's just you. Very excited while im very poker peys. Haha i hope you like what's inside the envelope because it has something to do with travel. No, its not a discount coupon for an overnight stay for two somewhere. Haha

Dear Charles, we may have had a smooth flight, a bumpy ride, a flat tire in our relationship sometimes but the most important thing about it is that we keep moving forward. No matter how many times i sushi run away and give up, i'm thankful that you're still here pestering my tummy and my nose and my kilikili and my sweaty palms. I hope you won't give up on me because I'm pretty sure there will be more sushi run days ahead.

Dear Charles, I write a gratitude list almost everyday but you dont read it anymore. I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate you and tell you why in this big world we live in, you are a wonderful blessing that God has made not just for me but to the world. (See Annex A)

Dear Charles, I like giving you small stuff lately. Pag napuno ng kalat ang kwarto mo malamang kasalanan ko yun. Haha somehow, it's been my way of showing how much i love you. Makulangan man ang love tank mo ng "touch" as your love language, at hindi mo man talaga love language ang "gift," I hope you're able to feel my love through these small things. Great things happen through small, consistent steps.

Dear Charles, ang pogi mo talaga! 'Nuf said.

Dear Charles, I'm a writer. And I'm forgetful. Hence, this nobela is very very long. Feel free to read and re-read it as many times as you want. When you're down or sad or unmotivated. When you hate me or you love me or you feel indifferent. When you're stressed or hurting or you just want to kill time. Because once written, these words can never be erased.

Dear Charles, 2 years na tayo! Hoooray! 2 parts ang gift ko. Ano naman ang masasabi mo dun? Haha 

Dear Charles, 2 years na tayo. I don't want to put twenty superlatives and quotable sweetness quotes for our anniversary. I'll keep it simple with the words I LOVE YOU, Charles Raymond Lonzaga Madrid.

Dear Charles, 2 years na tayo. Kaya, i love you uli!!! :)

Annex A

Thank you for the Monday morning reminders. Even if they sometimes make me feel ur PNPness, a lot of times they makes me feel loved and super special. I can't imagine how after soooo many Mondays (sad di ko nadocu lahat) you still manage to surprise me with your creative ways to express your love. And I can't believe you haven't missed a single one. I cry!

Thank you for taking care of yourself. Alam ko lagi kong pinapansin ang lifestyle mo. At ayaw mong pinapagalitan kita kaya tinatago mo ang pagyoyosi mo. Haha but i have to commend you for your most improved lifestyle. I do not say this often enough about your health but good job! Keep it up so we can both live until 100. Ako din lifestyle! 😃

Thank you for your time and effort to see me as often as you can.

Thank you for being so understanding. You spoil me a lot alam mo ba yun? Kinukunsinti mo ko lagi. Haha and mostly, you adjust and compromise more sa mga gusto ko. Come to think of it i'm not sure if you're being understanding or just a people pleaser pala. Hahaha so should i thank you for being a people pleaser? Hahaha

Thank you for protecting me. Sundo/hatid para safe ako lagi. Payong-para safe ako sa weather (hidden agenda:para clingy ka). Paglipat sa danger side ng road sa pagtawid to keep me safe. For always praying for me.

Thank you for your service. My love tank is always full when you serve me. Hahaha #prinsesa

Thank you for listening to me. Sa lahat lahaaaat ng rants ko at drama sa buhay. Sa lahat lahaaaaat ng pambubully ko. Haha sa pagkanta at pagppiano ko. Sa kadaldalan ko lalo na sa chat. Sa lahat ng hinaing ko. Sa lahat ng kwento ko about work, family, friends, plans, hopes and dreams... wait paki scratch yung work. Tinutulugan mo ko dun e haha

Thank you for trying hard to keep your hands off me. Hahaha kahit im irresistable. Super thank you. Even if we make mistakes and regret our mistakes. Thank you for respecting my view even if you wont fully understand how i feel and what ive been through. It means a lot to me to be able to trust you. I hope we can continue the streak til honeymoon.

Thank you for always appreciating me and supporting me in my decisions and the things I want to try in life. Mula sa make up ko, sa french tip, sa pagkain ng balut na soon to try pa, hanggang sa pagaaral, investments, soon to be businesses. You are my number 1 cheerleader! *Charles tucks hair behind ears*

Thank you for being my sunshine. Your perkiness cheers me up! And i know, you light up the day of people around you. Your jolly nature is contagious. That is why you have lots of inaanaks. Haha

Thank you for being an inspiration. You inspire me to be caring to others. You inspire me to take risks, do what I want, get what I want. I'm always alwaaaays awed by your people skills and how thoughtful and loving you are to the people around you, specially to your family and to the less fortunate. More so to my family. Your friends, colleagues, clients...to everyone (except noob drivers hahaha) Jesus taught us how to love and you are an embodiment of that teaching that I look up to and follow.

Thank you for being caring to your family and. I see it when I'm with you. You're so generous to the people who gives you service. Your smile is contagious. You go out of your way to help others. Thank you for being a great example of goodness. That is something that your children will get from you. Thank you for taking care of your family because I know someday you will take care of your future family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

And most of all, thank you for loving me

"Everyday is a happy day!":p
