YOU MAY BE IN LOVE IF....

One of the most common human experiences that two or more (depending on how ambitious you are) people can share is love. But, it's not always easy to tell if you are in like, lust or full blown, forever loving. With that in mind, I've created this list of signs that you may be crazy in love!

1. If you've ever stared deeply into the eyes of your significant other for more than 10 seconds without cracking up hysterically … you may be in love.

2. If every person in your life tells you that she/he's no good and you're mailman, pharmacist and local news station agrees, yet you think they are "just jealous" … you may be in love.

3. Guys: if you've taken the pictures of the other women in you're life off the walls, like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition posters, Playmate of the month calendar, Monster Truck Rally 2005 … you may be in love.

4. Ladies: men can produce excessive amounts of eye watering, nose burning noxious odor from almost any food or drink, and then aren't above sharing it with others, especially at night. Knowing all this, and you STILL want to sleep in the same bed with him … you may be in love.

5. If your significant other asks you how they look in their new retro polyester lime green outfit and you say they look hot … you may be in love…. or you have a really strong self preservation instinct.


6. Guys: if you've ever given up washing and waxing that new car you just bought to watch "Sleepless in Seattle" with you're girlfriend/wife for the 20th time … you may be in love.

7. If you always remember every anniversary and birthday of your partner, and you're not female … you may be in love.

8. If you think the underwear and socks you get for your birthday and Christmas every year is a pleasant surprise … you may be in love.

9. If you thought the Sears Tool Set and rolling cabinet you got for your birthday was great idea, and you're not male ... you may be in love.

10. If you are taken to Burger King for a romantic dinner, and that doesn't bother you … you may be in love.

11. If you notice your local florist starts arriving at work in a limo since you became a customer ... you may be in love

12. If hearing "Honey, wheres my clean underwear?" brings tears of joy to your eyes ... you may be in love

But the easiest way to tell if you are in love is this: If there is no one on this planet that you would rather spend everyday of your life with than the one you are with … then you ARE in love!

Eon's Thanksgiving Celebration

July 30, 2010, Eon and Adi were having a fever and we took them to the Doctor. On our way home, it was the yaya who was holding Eon in the car and I didn't know that his fever was already so high. When we got home, the yaya put Eon on the bed and I laid beside him so I can take a nap. Just when I was about to lie down, Eon starting shaking and he was already having a seizure. It's been a month since Eon had his last seizure, and I blamed myself for not checking his temperature right away and give him his medicine. The seizure lasted for about 20 or more seconds and he cried right after. I immediately gave him a dose of Paracetamol and his maintenance meds, Phenobarbital and Valproic Acid. His maintenance meds wasn't due for at least an hour, but I decided to give it to him earlier than usual so he doesn't have another seizure attack. At that moment, I prayed and asked God to make that his last Seizure attack. I also said in my prayer that I would throw a Thanksgiving Celebration after 1 year of Eon being seizure free. God fulfilled that promise, and I also fulfilled my end of the deal.

A year has passed since Eon had his last seizure attack, and We hosted a Thanksgiving celebration last July 31, 2011. I didn't invite that much people. I only invited our closest friends who were there during our darkest moments. The people who prayed and fasted for Eon's healing and recovery, after all, it was our means of saying "Thank You" to those who witnessed what the whole family went through and prayed with us throughout the ordeal. I personally invited LB Tabo Small Group # 2,the Four Corners, who sang a Thanksgiving song, and Pastor & Mrs. Sagabay. It was Pastor Sagabay who annointed Eon when he was at the hospital, and it was just fitting that he was the one to conduct the Thanksgiving message. It was a very intimate moment, joined by our closest friends to celebrate the gift of life and normalcy that God gave to my baby Eon.
