This page has always been dedicated to our kids—a place to capture their moments, milestones, and learnings. But today, this post is dedicated to you, my wife who's celebrating your birthday.
In my journey to be the best dad, I’ve come to realize, painfully, that I’ve unknowingly fallen short of being the best husband to you my wife. It’s a realization that weighs on me, but it also fuels me to love you better and cherish you more every single day.
Last year brought us challenges we never imagined, but it also became the beginning of something truly wonderful. Together, we’ve created precious memories that now hold a special place in our hearts—a reminder of how meaningful our journey has always been. Some of those moments, captured in these photos, reflect the love and effort we’re pouring into US—something I may not have prioritized before but now treasure more than ever. Each photo tells a story of how far we’ve come and the beautiful memories we continue to build one moment at a time.
Now, we’re doing things we never made time for before: dating again, sharing hugs so often that Kuya Tep and Tap count them (we’re on hug #7,128, though Tap sometimes gets annoyed at how much we hug everywhere). We kiss, we say “I love you” out loud, we talk as a couple and share each other's thoughts, and we never miss a chance to hold hands, lean on each other, or simply stay close (and HUG pa rin). We’re exploring new things as a couple, and while some days may come with challenges, each one is a new opportunity—a day I eagerly look forward to, knowing that no matter what, we’ll ALWAYS END IT TOGETHER, hand in hand, wrapped in the comfort of each other’s love.
The surprises I planned for your birthday- the gift, the flowers and chocolates- are just small gestures. They’ll fade, wither, or be forgotten in time. But the GREATEST GIFT I can give you is a PROMISE: I will work harder—not just to be the best dad to our kids but to be the BEST HUSBAND to you, Mahal.
All these years, I may have been too focused on myself, my career, and the kids. But from now on, my focus is US. We’ve got another 65 years ahead (because our goal is to reach 100 together), and I want to spend each day loving you better. I promise to do everything I can to make you the happiest wife on earth- susuportahan kita, aalalayan, at pagsisilbihan. Expect endless hugs, sweet kisses, hawak-kamay sa road trips, coffee dates, movie nights, at syempre, iingatan ko lahat ng maliliit na moments natin in between. Kasi, Mahal, kahit sa kaliit-liitang bagay, gusto kong maramdaman mo ang pag-ibig ko (at yes, forever akong taga-masage mo).😅
Most importantly, I promise to always make you feel loved, secure, and treasured, because I know I’m the luckiest person in the universe to have you—the very person I once dreamed of during our college days. It’s a big promise, but it’s one I’ll gladly keep every day, because your happiness means everything to me.
Pero ikaw? You don’t need to do anything, because you’re already the BEST WIFE in the world- my partner, my strength, my everything. I am so blessed to have you by my side, shaping me into the best version of myself.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mommy. Thank you for your love, your patience, and for always believing in me. I love you Mommy!❤️
