Thanks visitors... friends... and NUFFNANG!

ABBEY: Time really flies fast. Now its time to celebrate our second blog anniversary. After two years, the unique visitors is at 85,000. 

Compared to other featured blogs, we still have a lot of work to do but for us its a milestone reached. We never imagined that we will make this far. We enjoyed what we do and we are happy that others are continuing to support us. I managed to read older posts once in a while and surprised that I can write that much. As a gift we deposited our earnings in Nuffnang. 

We hope that we can continue to help others by our reviews.

WILL: This is our couple's blog 2nd bday. This is a hobby that binds me and my hubby. We enjoy every inch, every time, and everything about this blogging. We enjoy every questions by our jargons and friends where, when and how we felt when we go to a certain place, when we ate or cooked that food or when we do some of those activities. 

     This is a hobby that grew with little fame, with a large advantage to some events and unexpected amounts, vouchers and freebies from different companies/people...one of those is Nuffnang, our exclusive ads supplier. 

     After some debate two years ago, Abbey agreed to have an advertisement to our blogs and that we chose Nuffnang. :) Just this past month, we received the cheque amounting S$ 59.25. For some this maybe small, but for me and my husband, this is a huge cash, huge cash for doing nothing for them. Haha. 

     Dear Nuffnang, we banked it in together with our $1 coins in our mini bank and we will invest it. Thanks readers, friends and blogwalkers. Thank you Nuffnang, for the free movies, free tours, free products and this cheque. Viva Nuffnang! 

No Other Place Like Home

ABBEY:Its Christmas and in Philippines the season starts in the "ber" months and will last until the Chinese New Year. The festive spirit is very high that you will not see an individual without a smile on his face.


My parents were surprised and almost fainted when they saw us. They can't believe that we were at their midst.
I don't know which food to eat first or place to go. I was ecstatic. I know i have limited time so be wise spending it. Good thing that in Philippines time seems so slow. We got almost everything covered and we found other time to spare and do other things beyond what we planned.


We managed to bond time with our both families and friends; like dinner, food trip, spa and malling.


As our vacation comes to an end I was like a prisoner on the death row. I don't want to leave but we have to. It was hard to bid them farewell. As I remember the moments we had I was more eager to strive and work hard knowing that we'll be together again someday.

WILL: For me, when I am hearing the word "home" I am not thinking of a place or our house but the people who continuously loving me. 
I miss all of the people I used to spend my life with and specially my bratty niece and nephews. 
      I miss my parents and siblings. I miss my elite friends. I miss my in-laws. Swearing... I miss everything about in the Philippines. 
      I love it when Abbey approved me to buy some tickets to spend 9 days with our love ones. He is such a very understanding husband. Blessed me! 
      There is no place like home. Nothing can compares spending time with family and friends!  I love you all! 
I love you my Abbey more & more... Abbey... my new home. 

Salamat sa Dios dahil sa kaniyang kaloob na di masayod.

ABBEY: Salamat po sa isang taong dumaan at kami'y ginabayan sa pagsusulat. Yes, we are one now. Can't believe that we managed to survive writer's block, being lazy to write and no topics to write about. I hope and pray that as the new year unfolds we will be able to give our blog visitors good reviews to read. And for my co-writer, my friend and my wife may you still enjoy writing with me and have more patience for reminding me about the deadlines. Thank God for this opportunity.




WILL: Isang taon na po ang aming "couple's blog". But first of course, we are very thankful to HIM para sa mga kaloob NYA na di na namin masayod.
      Hindi namin inaakala na dahil sa hindi makita paano pumunta sa Malaysia by train from Singapore eh mabubuhay ang blog na ito at magtatagal. Hehe. Upon doing this blog eh tinanggal naman nmin ang multiply site ko due to privacy. 
      Ang daming happenings sa period na 'to, bukod sa start ng couple's blog na ito, we also started our wedding site, within this period eh I got my work here in Singapore and we already tied the knot. 
      We know a simple Thank You is not enough for all the followers, readers, friends who continues to support, and all the services/products we featured here at our blog. 
      We do hope the continuity of this blog and more privileges to come. Salamat ulit. 
      

Time is Love

ABBEY:

Time is love. This is an ad for a watch here in SG. I think the model is Barbie Hsu (the girl in Meteor Garden). The message is striking. Wilma and I met again after almost a decade. We fell in love since then. I hope we will continue to love and care for each other until forever.

WILL: In this world that even happiness can be bought by money, this is the only thing that is not for free. Time flies so fast and it does not wait for anyone.

      I am so touched when Abbey, my family, friends and Lapuzs' spares time with me. A moment to be treasured. 

      Time is gold and Time is Love. Nice advert line Titus.
