Something New

Some time ago in the past, in the not so distant past, she would ask me to give her love letters. Now, she has gone more 'techie' and asked me to post something in our blog. :P

Sometimes my baby forgets what I say/email/text to her so I'm putting some of the things here. I told her we can both take care of her family and my family if she comes home -- another argument for her to come here, hehehe. You can hit me next time when you come here for a visit. mwah. :)

Let me tell you some things that I got from the magazine your mom gave me last weekend. This was also taken from the book THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CHRISTIAN WEDDING VOWS by H. Norman Wright:

I love the little girl in you who is so playful and enjoys each moment. I love the woman that you are, who is understanding and offers love and affection without conditions.

As your friend I will make time for us to listen and talk. I will let go of tomorrow and enjoy the moment that we have, allowing the little boy in me to come out and play.

I pray that you will find comfort in my arms all the rest of our days.

Las Pinas City Civil Registry Marriage License Requirements

i got this from a w@wie. Apparently each city/municipality might have different requirements. Requirements can also vary depending on the age of the couple. Why? I don't know..
 
COUPLE 25 yrs old ++
.. authenticated birth certificate ng lalaki at babae, mula sa National Statistics Office; at
.. certificate of no marriage (Cenomar) para sa magkabilang partido, galing din ng NSO.
Barangay Residence cartificate

COUPLES 21-25 y/o
.. authenticated birth certificate ng babae at lalaki mula sa NSO;
.. certificate of no marriage mula sa NSO;
.. parental advice

PROCESS
·         If you have the above mentioned requirements, fill up the application form for marriage license at the civil registry office.
·         The processing should only take you ten working days for the publication or posting (often at the bulletin board within the municipal hall), this is to check if a third party will appeal.
·         Before the release of the marriage license, you need to attend the family planning seminar at pre-marriage counseling sa DSWD. In Las Piñas, it’s every Thursday from 8:00 am until 12:00 noon and at 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the pre-marriage counseling.
The two seminars will award certificates as proof of attendance which you will present at the civil registrar’s office before the release of your license. The license is valid for 120 days anywhere in the Philippines.

In Memoriam Rizalino R. Cuenca (1957-2009)

The day after my last post before this, my father passed away. Need I say more? Until now, sadness is a constant companion. Remembering happy memories shared with my Papa. I always picture in my mind the last moments we were together. The last time I held his hands, kissed his forehead and the last time I looked at him.

It's been more than a month now. Life, as well as our wedding preps still go on. Much like life, it does go on, but our wedding preps changed so much.

Firstly, we had to change our wedding date. From Dec 8, 2009 to Mar 8, 2010. It was not an easy decision. But believe me, it had to be done.

Secondly, from the grand and fabulous wedding, we have to redirect our plans to a simple, yet lovingly prepared wedding. Given the situation, I don't have the heart to have a grand and fabulous wedding.

Now, I realize that it's not how grand the wedding is. It's the fact that it's a union of two people who love each other and who will stand beside each other through thick and thin. It's my Papa's wedding gift. He made me realize what's important in a wedding. It's the marrriage.

Papa wherever you are, we miss you so much. I thank you for everything. Don't feel sad that you're not able to go to my wedding. You are always with us in our hearts. We love you.
