A Score and Three!

It's my wife's birthday today. I always make it a point to write about our escapades during her birthday. Why? Because it also means it's another year added to our relationship as we were married on the her natal day. We make it a point that we do something extraordinary on this day. While the kids were growing up, we would rent a private pool somewhere in Laguna for the family which would include relatives and friends. This was how the children learned how to swim. It would have been a family tradition but we soon had close friends who would take us on a tour or something and the rest of the relatives would soon vow out of the scene.

Anyway, when I started blogging, I saw a venue to put everything before my memory fails me. Of course, that's still a long time to come but just the same, I would want to keep these memories not only for me, but for my grandchildren and theirs. Hmmm, do you suppose blogspot would still be around then? MAybe we would have all moved on to another experience of journaling our day to day existence, right?

This is the first time that I shall be writing about the anniversary on the day itself. We are still preparing lunch, which, hopefully would be enjoyed by all. Later on, we will be hearing mass (something that I do once a year) then off to a restaurant somewhere at the Fort. Nothing much for we would like to save some money for travels we are all looking forward to. In the meantime, should you have more time to browse, you can read about our birthday cum anniversary here, here, here, and here

Happy birthday, mama. I love you very much!

hellowie!! i read back to your previous post, wow! special mention ako! :D

i did see you but at that time i didnt know you were a blogger, actually, i didnt know anyone then except for kuya jay. :D i was actually thinking, where all the bloggers who replied to kuya jay's post were..

but like rj, i was too shy to ask around. i only overheard them talking to kuya jay that they were bloggers, dun ko nalang kinapalan yung mukha ko and started talking to rj and gasdude, and jeck who i met later in the afternoon..

if i had known tito, or kuya, i would have approached you, and made kwento. super FC *feeling close* pa naman ako :p

but hope to bump into you in some other blogging/blogger's event :D

and happy birthday to your wife. i hope someday, id be fortunate enough to meet someone like you and kuya jay and my dad who love their wives as much as you do.. and who would go out of their way to make me feel special on my special day :D

Panaderos said...

Congratulations! Hats off to you and your wife for having a very loving, happy, and supportive relationship throughout all these years. Plus, you've been blessed with such fine children. That's quite a feat, Sir!

May you have many more happy and blessed years together. Cheers!

Panaderos said...

Rolly,

I did some backreading and found out that both you and your wife were discipline officers back in the 1980s.

Well, guess what? I was a product of the same school system (college) you guys work in and I was wondering if your wife was in the office during those "few" times I was there. Hehehe

Take care and congratulations again. :)

happy anniversary sa inyo Tito R. At happy bertday na rin kay Tita Nitz.

Pag kinasal ako ulit, alam ko na gagawin ko. Idol! :-)

rolly said...

batjay Swerte talaga ang mga asawa natin at bihirang bihira makakita ng poging asawa diba? LOL!!!

Salamat sa bati, sir.

panaderos Really? What year were you there. Baka wala pa siya sa discipline office nuon. Either sa Reservation office or Purchasing office pa siya. Anyway, send me an email and I'll give you her complete name. Baka kilala mo siya. I'm sure kilala mo si Mang Jack. He's retired now.

Happy 23rd Wedding Anniversary & Happy Birthday to your wife.

You should celebrate with a short trip to Malaysia! Then we'll look into what we missed during the first trip!

{illyria} said...

to you and your beautiful wife, happy anniversary. and to your love, i reckon she'll only get better and better after each birthday. hoping it was a good two-in-one moment.

Anonymous said...

sweet! happy birthday and happy anniversary to you two!

rolly said...

illyria Unfortunately, or fortunately, there was no two-in one moment. Our activities have always included the children and more. No regrets. Soon, it will just be the two of us again once the children are all established and have a family of their own. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the greetings.

Toni Sweet? Can't have too much of it. I'm diabetic remember? hehehe

Thanks.

Jet said...

Happy birthday to Tita Nitz and Happy Anniversary to you both! Habang sinusulat ko ito Tito Rolly, tumutugtog ang Sampaguita's Theme sa iTunes ko... swak na swak! I can imagine you two dancing close.

Jet said...

Ang alam ko bumati na ako sa inyo e but for some reason it's not showing up. Naalala ko pa nga that time, tumutugtog sa iTunes ko ang Sampaguita's Theme na sa isip ko bagay na bagay sa inyo at para ngang na-picture ko kayo ni Tita Nitz na sumasayaw ng slow dance. :D Anyway, ulitin ko na lang. Happy birthday to Tita Nitz and happy anniversary to you both!

the amateur ear said...
