Singapore & Malaysia 2015 #jachellelizadventures

After 6 months of waiting, the day we've been waiting for has finally come! Supposedly it's a Superfriends' plan but the promo was not enough to accommodate all of us. And just in time, Lesio & Babaks gave their big yes to pursue our long time dream!

Since, Babaks & I have gotten to Palawan and Baguio and with Lesio in Boracay last year, we need to beat our travel destination this 2015. And what can we think would be the better place to go? of course, to travel outside the country! This will be our first international flight together and so everything was thoroughly planned. And since I was tasked to plan our itineraries, I should not fail theirs & my expectations.

And the day has finally come...WELCOME TO SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA!!!


This is the JaChellElizAdventures!!!

It was a dream answered to reality. Never did I thought that I could go out of the country plainly for  adventures.
And I even did it with my best travel buddy, babaks! He whom I always wanted to be with wherever I go especially if its our first time to go to a new place. Just in time for our 8finity year and soon 100 months of togetherness! Also, of course, with one of the closest friends and my only classmate since 1st year to 4th year in Nursing who also turned out to be my travel buddy, Lesio! It was like never a dull moment with the three of us! Thank you for not complaining with all our itineraries despite how tiring it was. To another locals or international adventures again with you soon buddies!

Also, to Nova, Franz & to our new friend, Kenneth, thank you for sharing with us your time & favor. You even took your leave from work just to accommodate us during our stay. Singapore trip was never been that awesome, complete & superb without you guys!

To my cousin, Charmine, for sharing to us your itinerary & giving tips as what you had experienced. To all who have shared their ideas in Singapore. To our source of income, our work. To our family who have been very supportive - aside that they don't have a choice!haha.

Above all, To a greater glory to the Lord for allowing us to experience our plans completely & perfectly!


Thank you Singapore! No goodbyes! You are just simply an amazing and inspiring country!



Love,

Micki3's Journey to 8finity

03 June 2015. Wednesday.


This day is the celebration of our MICKI3 at 8th Love's Anniversary
WHAAAAT?!
How did it all happen, Oh God?! How time flies! :'(

From those teenies time to almost late 20s now. (excluding high school years pa!) But it seems like only years passed by. We, the MICKI3 is still standing strong amidst life's ups, downs and steady times!


 All matters to me in 8 years is my love for him. And I thank God for he loves me even more than what I deserve. I wish I could share and inspire others that real man is not possible to find. Maybe I am just one of the few lucky girls who find
 the kind of man at an earlier time.


Now, since this is our #8FINITY together, of course, 
I will dedicate this 1 page of my blog for him.
I will identify 8 reasons why we lasted all these years.
 (Oh this is impromptu idea!)
 I know these 8 reasons  (you might not know about him) are not enough to describe him and our relationship, but to significantly give 
justice to our 8th year of togetherness,
 I will give a try!

1. He is More PRAYERFUL Than Me.
Naaaks! I always believe that the very reason why we lasted this far is his heart (and mine) in the  power of prayer for our relationship goal. He is the one who always remind me to pray for our selves, dreams & future plans. And don't you know that it is always him - the last person standing to keep in silence of prayer every time we lit candles to churches?! Sometimes, I just stayed silent as if I'm still praying to beat him but I always ended up FAILED! haha. Peace Lord! And when I am triggered with my ka-yabag, he's the one who reminds me that God knows his feeling and intention. (And then I felt guilty, and so, we were OKAY then! :p)

2. He keeps me GROUNDED.
Most of you might agree with me that he is one of the HUMBLEST men you knew. (Can I have a raise of hands, please!?!hihi) You will never hear 'nedako ang ulo' to him. He's still the same Jackie, Babaks, Superfriend I used to know. I had seen his journey from high school-college-work and up to this time. And I am proud of all his achievements to himself, to his siblings and to his family. He is the reason why that I keep my feet on the ground because I know he will always pray for me to do so. And if times that I forgot, he was there to pull of my feet! Again, I am one of the luckiest girl!

He jogged. I belly danced.
3. He is Always On the Go.
When Michelle is there, of course, Jackie is most of the time there too. (or the other way around) I know it took as years to travel inside and outside Cebu together (given those college days & job searching days). But who would have thought that we have traveled together PALAWAN, BORACAY and BAGUIO all at 2014?! That was really unexpectedly an awesome year! I have the most supportive and most cooperative boyfriend ever! He who is not a kill joy in adventures! And our most exciting travel is coming on the 3rd Quarter this 2015, if God permits! Oh I just can't wait. We will just have our late 03 June - 8finity celebration! Anyway, it still falls on our #journeyat8finity!

4. He is NOT as What You Think He Is.
Ooops, Let's get sensual! We have come this far because I know that it is so hard to find someone who's gonna understand me of my principle in life. Others, to some close friends, I know is judging me because I am of course a Nurse (get it). But we are not the way you think we are. And that's one of the hardest person to find this time. And again and again, God gave me someone who will understand and respect my decision, beliefs and principle. Someone who accept whole heartedly (aside sa wala siya'y choice) of what I can do for our relationship. Lord, Ikaw na jud! Forever grateful.

5. The Hell He Care.
He is the best example of 'kever' person. He is not putting big deal to most of my ka-dramahan. I even created petty-liar fights sometime just to catch his attention that 'hey we have a problem' haha. I ended up like, hay kever ra japon! 95% of our issues were all the output of my bored minds. Maybe these are the normal results of having a relationship with no so much trouble. But at the end of the day, I know, we have the  weirdest love story but praise to God, I have the coolest boyfriend on earth!!! What more can I ask for?!

6. He Promise Me Nothing in the Future.
In the span of years that we were together, I never heard his plan for himself, mine & for us. That is why for all of you asking what is our plan for the next years to come, I rather laslas my self!haha. He said he will not going to say/ promise anything and rather keep it to himself because he might not able to do or give it to me. And of course, practically he's true! At least, no matter how we try but we'll end up not to be together then nothing hopes & promises have broken. Oh well, I will follow the 3 months rule though. (Awwwch!hihi) But of course, i know, we both know, each one of us has our individual plan for the both of us. And that is the most exciting part of this relationship we are looking forward into.

7. He is very consistent all these years.
He lives a very simple life because of his being him - simplicity & contentment. We usually don't go to fancy places. For as long as we're together, EAT-ing pungko-pungko in Fuente, barbeque-han & Albertos in Lacion, balot in Yati, halo-halo in lungsod etc. and the list goes on and on and on, its more than anything matters to us. For as long as I am not into travel for work, we almost see each other too. He is still calling my papa - 'Sir'. He's still most of the time greets me first on our monthsaries/ anniversaries. He still remember that I was like 'nakakitag ungo' to him way back highschool years if magsugat me. And most of all, his love, care, respect,trust & name it - is very consistent! I am who I am as lover because of him.

8. He is Hard to Find at This Time.
In a nutshell, I thank God & I will never get tired of thanking Him every single day of giving me such kind of person whom I never asked for 8 years ago. But God gave me at an earlier year someone who is imperfectly perfect partner. He who I never thought I can be with after 8 long years. He who I never get tired of loving each day. To be with him on our late 10s, early 20s & almost late 20s was an amazing journey that only few have tried. And I will not put on regrets for whatever is the outcome of this journey because all these years, I was given a chance to be extremely happy in lovelife!

14 February 2015, Saturday.
1st time I received flowers from him! :p

MICKI3 - it's still a very long journey way to go! But as long as I have you by my side, we can/will make it! It was not a smooth sailing journey & never will be in the coming years. Let's not forget, as you consistently reminds me, the purpose why we were, we are & will be into choosing this MICKI3's love. May we prove to others that #FOREVERLOVE is not possible to find in God's love. 


I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MY BABAKS!

HAPPY 8th YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO US!
