Time sure flies so fast. I can’t believe that Ramil and I have been married for three years already. It still feels like the wedding was just yesterday. After three years, I feel like nothing much has changed between us and yet I know that a lot has changed and I feel blessed that all the changes have been for the better.

Ramil and I have long gone beyond the difficulties that arise because of missed celebrations, forgotten special dates, and the like. I used to be a slightly high-maintenance girlfriend (I think…), not in terms of material things but in terms of time spent together (I think every girl is!). Both of us though, have immensely matured the past three years. We ended up planning our anniversary a few days before and come December 17, we didn’t even have gifts for each other except for some kisses and lots of loving. Haha!

We both took a half-day leave from school last Wednesday and we brought Mateo to the annual UP Lantern Parade. Having spent the early part of our relationship when we were both in UP, watching the Lantern Parade again after six years with our little guy in tow have its own significance. Not to mention that three years ago, on our wedding day, we were also in at the UP Bahay ng Alumni where we held our wedding reception. It was a very pleasant walk down memory lane.

Afterwards, we had dinner on our way home at Friday’s in Sta. Lucia. We ate a lot, even Mateo ate a lot, and we still had left-overs to bring home. Just a few more pounds on me and I might consider taking Lipovox so I can lose weight, haha!

It was the cheapest celebration we’ve had but it’s surprising to realize that despite not spending much for our anniversary, it wasn’t less happy.

Here are some pictures from our small celebration:
