When listening to music in his car, my HTB has a taste for instrumental jazz, while I like easy-going vocals (that is except when I’m working when instrumentals are ideal for that.) So the fast-forward and back buttons (not to mention the CD in the deck) get a good workout as we turn to [...]

Feeling surreal, and my spontaneous HTB planned! :)

8:30a.m:
I hopped into his car when he drove into my estate punctually for our planned morning breakfast. He swung a blindfold in front of me, “Wear this.” He grinned. I obediently did.
8:45a.m:
Me: Where are we?
He: You know when we get there
Me: Will you confirm my guess if it’s correct?
He: Ok
Me: Are we going to Bottle Tree Park near [...]

In a relationship?
As I wrote my last post, I stopped short in the middle of the sentence “…. before my SO and I were in a relationship.”
Why does “in a relationship” narrowly define only that of 2 people dating/are in a courtship together?

Funny because I had been going to the same church even before my SO and I had started our courtship (but understandable as my family had moved after we had gotten together.)
For those of you who know my SO and I, you would know that my SO takes [...]

490 days: Growing into affection
After reading Fiona’s 100th day Pink Anniversary (which is awwww…. so romantic), I did a mental calculation and realised today marks the 490th day of our time together. (If only I had known that we could celebrate my 500th day on Christmas day this year, I might have held on to my singleness for another 11 [...]

Response to “Love at first sight”
Reading Chantel’s post “Love at first sight” had me revisiting my understanding of what love is.
And what better resource than to look at wedding vows?
” I, <bride/groom>, take thee <bride/groom>, to be my wedded <husband/wife>,
and I do promise and covenant, before God and these witnesses,
to be thy loving and faithful <husband/wife>;
to have and [...]
