this video was created by me :) my first attempt at making a photo montage using windows movie maker...so just bear with it ;)

anyway, professional or not, this was created due to so much love for one person.

this post is a tribute to my one and only loving husband-to-be chris! so this entry is all about him.

first of all, it's chris' birthday today (yay!)...another year, another milestone, another achievement and i'm so thankful for all the blessings given to chris for the past year. it's one amazing ride isn't baby?

yesterday, i hung out with my girlfriends ara, chloe and ruth at parramatta. we had a loooong lunch at tomodachi resto where we 'celebrated' chris' bday during dessert---i bought a cake for him!

chris' happy bday cake!

i decided that regardless of the thousand miles between us, i needed to do something like this for him. i know he wouldn't be having a birthday cake (if i'm not mistaken) in dubai and since we got together, i have always made it a point to have a birthday cake for him. walang mintis yun. so why change it now? so even if he's only gonna see his bday cake in photos, i don't care, it's still the gesture that counts. i know when he sees this entry, it will warm his heart...eventhough he won't be able to eat his cake.

for photos of my day with the girls, please check this out.

a year ago, chris was just dreaming of working abroad, of spreading his wings and being able to fly. we would always spend saturday nights talking, stargazing in the front porch of our house and he would tell me of all his dreams, of his plans, of his visions. and now look where his dreams led him?---to dubai! hehehe. kidding aside, he got the break that he wanted in his career and is now internationally exposed in the field of graphic arts and design. and with financial stability that comes with his career change, he's encouraged to take his interest in photography on a professional level.

one of the things i am so thankful for having chris into my life was his gift of dreaming (oh, and he makes his dreams come true too). he taught me how to really dream. before i was so scared to let anyone know of what i want, of what i dream about...but chris told me, "libre lang naman ang mangarap diba? so bakit hindi ka mangarap?".

and other than believing in dreams, he taught me how to have faith, to never stop believing that dreams do come true if you work hard for it. you see, he taught me the ART of DREAMING. before all i knew was to plan, organize and work for what i want. it was so mechanical! it was all mind but not much heart. but chris, being born an artist, he knew better how to make things happen with the use of his heart and mind together.

and the beautiful thing is, his dreams, his visions, include me :)

happy happy birthday baby, may all your wishes and dreams come true. i love you so much that i will always, always be one with your dreams and visions. mwah!!!!
