Cheers to 3 Years and Counting at Bahay Marikit Resort and Hotel ♥♥♥

Yes, we've came to celebrate the 36th month of our relationship! Our 3rd year indeed! ☺♥♥♥
Me and my husband I must say were one of the most simplest couple. We didn't long for something impressive or gigantic type of celebration. So long as we're together, that is what we considered the most magnificent second.

It was a long lingering month  ..Prolonging the agony?.. hahahaha (not really ☻)

As always, there were plenty of details and options that were considered for our anniversary.  From various beaches, Almalin and others, we end up to Bahay Marikit a private resort and hotel also situated in Batangas City from the town of San Juan. It was very uncertain as to when will be the celebration and there were sudden changes too, but everything fell into place.☻

It was Sunday when babe thought of pushing our vacation the upcoming week. I wanted to get excited but I'm trying not to. Until.. We Chat audio message from babe says, "Hi babe good morning, nakausap ko na sina mommy.." (shaky voice.. and so I got panic) "Magready kana tuloy na tayo this Wednesday.. I'm so excited babe..Yehey!" (wtf! is this for real? hahahaha) The long wait was over! Right there and then I fixed my stuff and I got so agitated.. (This is it pansit! hahahaha)

Accessories and memorabilias ☻

(November 27,2013) Wednesday came, I woke up early. I was ahead of him for the first time.Extremely excited! hahaha.. We had lunch at SM San Lazaro, bought wine and exchange some items and we're all set to the terminal.

L ♥ O ♥ V ♥ E

We had to wait for a couple of minutes.. We left Manila late afternoon. It is not just us who were excited at that time, my supportive sister too! We chatted with her and sent some photos,on our way.. ☻ 
 

RAINBOW! ☻

Got to be my favorite spot whenever visiting LIPA. THE MOUNTAIN. ☻

It rained a little, but we managed..Every familiar picture of Lipa  reminded me of our experiences there.. We felt so excited and very eager to be back.

Happy husband ☻..Happy wife ☻.. = ♥♥♥

We're back!

The cold breeze of Lipa welcomed us. We bought cake, chips,etc. and had the chance to visualized our future cargo home. From Lipa to San Juan, where the resort is located, took us almost an hour drive. And something smelly and unpleasant happened in between hahaha.. Late 6 in the evening, if my memory serves right, we arrived at Bahay Marikit ☻ We kept the contact person posted where we were so I'm kind of disturbed that no one welcomed us and just figured out that we really needed to passed by a pathway heading to the reception area. It was well lit, so it's pretty fine.. The receptionist gladly greeted us and had small talk then one of their staff accompanied us in our room. We had a pretty cute room and the same experience we had at Valentino, we owned the place hahaha. Definitely an advantage of weekday getaway ☻. After we checked the place and put down our luggage, we already ordered our dinner. We had a vacation house type of lodge. It was supposed to be a twin sharing thing but we loved the fact that we're the only visitors at that time. Yehey!

 Here are our photos during dinner: ☻

Mine was grilled Porkchop with fried rice and leche flan

Bangus with fried rice and leche flan for babe

It was fine, tasty and affordable

Sumptuous dinner

It was a great dinner, food were appetizing, tho we couldn't have additional orders because the restaurant closes by 7 p.m. The place were kinda creepy and there's no one in there aside on us and some personnel. We headed back to our room and discovered that the pool was just a few steps from our area so we decided to swim and soaked for less than an hour. Kuya opened the lights for us and we were awakened. Excited to dip into the water! ☻

Night swimming!...

Queen of "Cramps"! hahahaha ☻

We didn't stayed that long because it was too cold and we could just savor the pleasure of water the day after next so we decided to clean up and head back to our crib ☻. Plus the cramping thing attacked hahahaha ☻

..Wanna see the after math?? hahaha since we rushed to plunged in the pool we left our stuff scattered and we needed to count our money hahahah everything was messed up. Heres an evidence..

What a mess! hahaha

Treasure hunt! (Tawa lang ng tawa hahahaha ☻)

It was a little bit of everything.. Laughter, anxiety, excitement, overwhelmed, love, happiness and many other emotions.We fixed every detail of something tangible and intangible hahahaha.. 

It's time for a quality and very essential event ☻!

Our cute, petite cookies and cream cake needed to be fired up, so we borrowed Manong's lighter. We were all set.3! ♥♥♥

Happy anniversary Porkchop and Cinnabon!

 
Ooppss.. Before I forgot, we missed to asked for any utensil, so we needed to improvised out of the materials we had.. Look! Very smart husband!

Cake cover turned spoon hahaha ☻

Go babe! ☻

 
..We had a grape wine too, that happened to popped out as babe opened it and a few amount of liquid poured down the blanket! hahaha messed after messed hahahaha (something we couldn't control and part of the celebration ☻). It was one of my favorite wine, but not so with babe. Probably because it was too safe for a man. hahaha a non-alcoholic beverage. hahahaha

CHEERS!

 Mid-night snack.. chat.. love ♥♥♥ and pictorials in between...

The magic pen! hahaha

Exhausted but definitely a blissful night! We were excited to see the entire environment the next day! ☻

 
Second Day! ☻
..Another sleepless night for me hahaha but I'm certainly well. Babe, woke up first and glanced for a moment what's outside and rushed back to me saying it was a pretty fine sunshine and that the surrounding was very enchanting! Tho I'm still sleepy, babe's words made me hurried towards the washroom and prepared for the day ahead of us ☻..

We were astonished and animated! We sincerely appreciate it's own concept. The morning sun illuminated the beauty of the place.  We roam around while waiting for our breakfast to be served. Pictorial here and there.. It was nature friendly, fresh air and green. As we were checking the pool, we witnessed how they clean it and we were called for our morning meal. Yehey! 
Kuya set up the table in front of the pool, and so we were able to enjoy the view while eating! ☻ The food was inclusive on the package. It was okay and pleasing with coffee and milk too! ☻

Breakfast Served! TOCILOG, LONGSILOG plus COFFEE and MILK.. ☻

psst gising! hahahaha

After breakfast, we strolled over the resort. It was a pretty ambiance of nature. The atmosphere was definitely marvelous and Mediterranean inspired.

Can't wait for more precious adventure with you my partner, my best friend, my love..

Here's a brief message from my husband... Inverted hahaha

The best way to define what we have..

Thank you mahal for another memorable time with you. I admit I have the craziest tantrums no one could ever think of. I am the most unpunctual partner. Often times "maarte" and "topakin". "Selosa" , "impatient".. What else?? (parang lahat negative hehehe) 
But despite all of my shortcomings, still, you made me feel I'm somehow perfect.. (teary eyes hehehehehe)
Thank you for accepting me, for teaching me, for all your patience and efforts, for making me laugh and cry at the same time, for allowing me to nag on you hahahaha with a purpose hehehe.. For catching up and many more. But above all thank you so so much for loving me unconditionally and being the best partner I could always count on. 

Here's how I picture us...

Our relationship can never be perfect. Expect that there's more challenges, fights, arguments, misunderstandings, differences and a lot more flaws that you'll gonna discover from me and me on you but so long as the love we have is genuine and always forgiving, nothing could hinder our relationship from growing. I can not promise you anything, but I'm certain that my love for you won't change and I won't get tired taking care of you up to forever, even if the word "forever" is mortal, I don't want to think of an end, just forever ..
Our dream container house, our backyard full of fruits and vegetables, with chickens around and us together just like the above picture..I love you so much my dear husband.I want to grow old with you...
