How Can I Not Love You?

Remember when I blogged about how I feel whenever I look at guys holding their partner's handbags? If you're new to my page, you may read the post HERE .

Anyway, this story I'm about to tell happened when The Hubby and I were out strolling along a shopping mall few months back. I asked him to carry my handbag as I was trying out hats and didn't want no bag to bug me. He took it, and this is what he did. ( I just had to ask him to pose for a pic..)

HAHAHAHHAHAA... You clown!!!!

And he went around the place with my bag hung around his neck. Like me, he just hates the idea of men carrying their women's handbag.

How can I not love this guy? He's funny and very spontaneous in his own way. Just last week, when I complaint to him of my sore feet after doing window shopping the whole day, he told me to climb his back. I was like what?? He looked at me like it didn't matter and told me there's nothing to be embarrassed about and there's no one in the mall that knows us except his mom and sister. And we went about doing piggy- ride for a good 10 minutes at the mall. We, including his mom, giggled the whole time. Thank God he's in rugby team, that for him my weight is nothing. You should have seen the eyes of people at the mall. They looked either puzzled or laughed with us. Ehe.. poyo? sajer jer... like how he told me earlier on, no one knows us.

What? Which shopping mall we did that piggy ride?...

Frigging Mid Valley Megamall! Hahahhahaaa...

Aiyo... Missing him like hell already. It's gonna be another 1 month till I see him again. And of course another 86 days to meet him at the altar...can't hardly wait!

Ticking one thing off the W list!

(pic: The Hubby and I received our CMP Course certificated from Father Simon Labrooy. And we've officially ticked one thing off our wedding list! :) )

I just gotta share this with you guys. This happens on the last day of our Catholic Marriage Preparation Course, May 16th.

We were asked to prepare a pledge for our partner, which like any other assignments once done, to share with the partner. Little did we know that the facilitators wanted some couples to share their pledge with the class.

"Anyone want to share what you've wrote to your partner?" asked Kenneth. All heads bowed down, trying their best not to be noticed. The Hubby and I, being seated at the front row, our eyes began to look at other place. "Anyone?.. Or I'll call names." Everyone seemed like they'd rather Kenneth picked any names instead of volunteering.

"How about you two? Both of you are always ready to talk." Kenneth looked at us, almost seemed like pleading for our support.

I looked at The Hubby. He held my hand and said, " let's do this. "

He started reading his vows. His vow was actually short, thus he tried to elaborate on each vow, just so it seemed like he wrote a long one.I had to pinch him after some while because he tends to be a bit long winded in talking. Combined with his nerveousness ( his hands were shaky as hell), he repeated some points over and over again.

His pledge included him supporting me in anything I do, and do give all his best to keep me feel like home when I transfer to KL.

Then came my turn. Heart pumped crazily inside...The room was sooooooo quiet, with only the air cond blast sound. You can literally hear a pin drop, if any...

The Hubby held the microphone for me, I took a deep breath and started to read...

Dear J,

I pledge to love you for the rest of my life

I thank God everyday for sending you into my life

You have always make me feel safe, belonged and your love truly feels like home to me

A place where I've been looking for the entire time before you entered my life (notice I used too many "life" in my pledge? I was sleepy while writing this, that I didn't do any proofread.)

Thank you for always being there for me.

Supporting me in whatever I do.

Thank you for your tolerance in handling my grumpiness and moody day

You have never, not once, fail to "find my happiness" (here I started to choke, trying my best not to cry.. words started to crack up)

You are the best thing I ever had

And I believe (Choked again..."Relax baby, relax," he assured me) that you'll make a great husband and father to our kids someday

I want to grow old with you

To be with you in venturing the journey of life, no matter the situation.

I love you, J A Too, forever I will.

There was a pause from the crowd, comprised of 32 couples with 4 facilitators and a priest. Then the class roared claps. I looked up, still trying to hold my tears from flowing to cheeks only to realise, I made some girls, including my facilitator, cried.

It was a very simple vow, yes I know. No big vocabs neither any sophisticated words...Never thought too that I choked into tears while reading them, because I've set my mind earlier the time not to do anything funny.

But I guess when you truly say it from your heart, it touches.. And affected others.

Need You Now

I'm not someone who's into country song, but this song from Lady Antebellum is a real catcher, and somewhat meaningful. Even though of course, this is a break up song, and has nothing to do with my life of present. Still, I'm so digging this!

Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can't fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk,
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.

Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Should she had known the night's gonna be THAT night, she surely will put on her favourite LBD..

A saxophonist with his sax ( of course!!!), playing a tune that The Girlfriend couldn't even digest because there were too much commotion going on. People cheering and clapping. Many of familiar faces of his families and The Couples' friends. Onlookers and Laundry diners started to cheer for them too... The Girlfriend's mind got even dizzier when The Boyfriend got down on both his knees.....

The Boyfriend : Will you marry me?

The Girlfriend's hands started to get wobbly and shaky. Real bad. ( In video, it looks like someone with Parkinson Disease).. She was blushing like she had never blushed before....
The Girlfriend : Yes. Yes.. You're crazy... so crazy..
Clap clap clap.. Applaud applaud applaud.. Kiss kiss kiss.....

The Fiancee : *kiss kiss smooch smooch*... What would you do if I had blurted NO when you were down on your knees... you know, out of nerveousness?

The Fiance : I'll kick you in the ass man.. I've been planning the whole thing for two weeks.. In public so more.. ( He then turned his head to see his newly engaged fiancee)..But i know you'd say yes to me. Cause I'm the man..hehehee.
