The art of being You ♥️🦋

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always been a fan of art. Paintings, Sculptures, Photography, Classic, Modern, Digital, every form of it stir my soul in a different kind of way.

I always see to it that in every country I’ll visit I have to see one of the museums the world has to offer but in all the numbers of museums I visited and the thousands of arts that captured my heart, I was stun to one kind of an art.

and that’s the art of being You. The glaze of your eyes the first time I stare at those that made the stars in the skies shine a little less. The music that plays as you dazzle your beauty in every room you walk in. The expressions you point when you are overjoyed. The visuals you project to the things you love, pageantry or just a daily outfit check.The magic in your voice that mesmerizes me every-freakin’-day. The mystery you always cover with your beautiful heart that forever leave an imprint in my soul.

You are a gallery of divine spark made of diamonds releasing glitter in every breath you take.

Happy Birthday My Love, You are my favorite masterpiece.

💍 Poco Poco - A unique bumpy texture ring.

Nane, Asakusa, Japan, March 25, 2025.

This is one of the best experiences in Japan, customizing our own ring. From choosing the material, design, to actually crafting it and having our initials engrave to it. I am not a fan of fancy things, jewelries are not always my go to but this, I will forever wear this, because you put your heart on this for me and this is the symbol of our infinity.

Out of all the designs we chose the Poco Poco, a method of using hammer to create a unique design, funny how sometimes life gives you the hardest of the things only to make it unique. Like our stories, before crossing our paths, we went through a journey where we thought hope was just a fiction, little did we know God is preparing us to something as beautiful as this, a life with you, but this time we will not face this alone, because from this day forward, you always got me until you find the end of our rings.

I love you My Love,

Sakura 🌸

It was a cold evening in Tokyo, a strange beautiful season cause this was the time when an Alchemy of Sakura and Snow happened, the transition of Winter to Spring.

We were at Sapporo in the morning and at Tokyo in the afternoon, while finding our Airbnb in Ota-Yaguchi, I found this Petal Haven, I knew that I will come back to that flowershop and get you something.

When we got settled, we had late lunch in one of the restaurants and since you had to go back, I told you I'd stay to get take outs. Then I went back to the flowershop and customize a bouquet.

Hundreds of options to choose from but Tulip is always a go to, Aside from it's your favorite, I really find it pretty too, and of course, a good filler is always necessary to boost the colors but while exploring the shop, I saw the cherry blossoms, I asked the flower artist to put some, she was surprised because it's not common to add it in a bouquet, or more surprising to mix it in Tulip but we gave it a try, and boom, it turned out so pretty.

So glad to how it turned out and was so excited to hand it over to you.

It was a sole moment, you said you already had a hint I'll get you one but customizing bouquet for you has always been my favorite thing to do. I see your smile, and got a long hug from you.

Sapporo ❄

Known for its pure beauty, old cities, culture richness and of course, Nature's lullaby, Snow.

Growing up in a tropical country, snow has been something unfamiliar to me until I visit Sapporo, Tho I visit places with snow before, Sapporo was my first heavy snowfall, that sparkling white ice covering the road while it falls down to you like a glitter skies but beyond that for quite a while there's a melancholy tale about my first visit in Sapporo.

I know you heard this story but how I told it really can't justify the forlorn anecdote of that time, the longest nights full of sorrow and darkest thoughts.

Heartbreak and Abandonment were familiar feelings to me, but sometimes even though you are used to some feelings, life still surprises you with something worse and we just can't blame anyone.

During pandemic, while I am healing and rediscovering myself, I oath to my soul that I will go back to Sapporo and appreciate its beauty again, for the second time, but this time with a peaceful mind. But for some reasons it never pushed through until March 18, 2025, This time with you, you replaced all the tears I shed with a genuine smile, the sorrows to the purest of joy and the agony with peace.

While we are taking photos in the places I revisited, while the cold is creeping to my skin, I stare at you for split second and I shed a tear only God saw, for the longest time I felt safe and loved.

I know we have days when we are fumbled with doubts about life, but if there's something I am sure of, I only want to see more of life with you because you put me in a place where I can revisit places that hurt and appreciate its beauty, to finally find the answers to the lingering questions that used to messed up your hope and replace it with nothing but good memories.

I thank God everyday for meeting you, loving you and living life with you.

How cliche to mention you fill my stomach with butterflies 🦋

When all I know is you load my skies with million of stars

To forever swear I’ll give up my window seat on a plane ✈️

Or even on a random adventure on a train

As I watch you get amaze in the patterns of a snowflake ❄️

Like how Peter watch Tinker Bell shimmer and sparkle

In world where we always get lost I never knew how to use a compass 🧭

Until it navigates my direction to your eyes

It’s overrated to say I love you to the moon and back 🌖

But this is my 🫀heart, and it’s yours, it’s yours my love

Will you be my valentine?

[Greek] Hronia Polla, Happy Birthday

The most influential and one of the greatest Philosophers in Greek, Aristotle believed that the purpose of life is to achieve eudaimonia, a state of happiness and flourishing through living virtuously.

30 beautiful years -- I hope you are happy today, I know you do not want to do anything extravagant today but I am glad we get to spend this day with your family. You are sleeping at the moment so I know that at least you get to do what you want to do today which is to sleep and just rest.

I always pray for your heart's desire, you may not tell me everything that you are thinking but whatever you wish, I hope God will grant it cause you deserved all the beautiful things the world could offer.

How I wish I met you sooner so I can spend all your birthdays with you but there's always a reason why it took us years to finally crossed paths and I wouldn't trade anything in the way we've met cause it's the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the day, God has prepared something beautiful in your life and I am glad I get to see it because here's the deal, I will always be here, in good and bad days, rain or shine, sun or snow and every little thing in between, I will always hold your hand and never ever let you go.

I love you so much My Love
