Celebrating our first 5 years

Anniversary breakfast in Tagaytay

Yesterday, we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Yup, 5 years of wedded bliss alright! It's been 5 years since we first said "I do" to forevermore and decided to begin our journey to happily ever after. This also means that this blog is a little more than 5 years old to date :-) Coolio!

And since we were on an "anniversary hiatus" for the last two years, this year we decided to go out and celebrate. Yey! Our itinerary was kind of an unplanned trip down memory lane as we retraced those familiar roads and landmarks of our 5 years of marriage (the hashtag for this is #Nakanaman). We only realized this at the end of the day because save for the breakfast part, everything else was at random :-)

Late lunch at the sunken garden

We woke up at the break of dawn and headed off to Tagaytay to have breakfast -- yes, just that. It seemed that the weather figured this one out as it was drizzling on our way there and back! Hahaha! The coffee and tea was all worth it and breakfast was simply a smack. We thought of getting good massage from there but the scare of traffic got the better of us, and so with that, we headed back to QC and hoped to indulge on the wellness part of our itinerary from the nearby spas instead.

Up next, we scouted Maginhawa Street (our address of 4 years) for spa salons. Unfortunately, parking was such a hassle that we ended up in the mall! Hay! Our massage was replaced by an "enduring" facial treatment that lasted like a lifetime! Anchakit e. But it was all good :-)

Five years later, we are now three :)

That facial made us realize that we have yet to have lunch. Nakakagutom ang tusok-tusok sa face! Since we're running behind our schedule for the day, we ended up grabbing burgers in a brown bag and headed off to UP to feast on our late lunch. As we sat down the sunken garden, it dawned on us that it was the same (well...almost) spot where we got engaged (now insert the hashtag #MushyButSoWhat). That was 6 years ago! Who knew, right?!

We reunited with Yeyo for an early dinner to cap off the day. We checked out the banchetto at the Technohub and along with the tables of the food fair was Yeyo enjoying the illuminated "bola! bola!" in the open area. Watching her chant on the lights (imitating Mother Gothel from Tangled) made us feel so blessed even more. 

Our marriage has been blessed a millionth fold. We thank our God for our first five years and look forward to many more 5 years to come!
