Celebrating 10 years of marriage with a blast Hurray for 10th year wedding anniversary for me and my husband. It was March 22, 2012 when we decided to get married via civil wedding at the QC City hall. I thought my husband was joking when he told me that we're going to marry in a week. He knows someone working in the city hall so he got a permit for us to get marry. The next day, we went to Binondo to buy our wedding ring. I could still remember that my late mother in law and my girl cousin was with us to look for the ring. We choose the one that has a simple design and at the same time could fit our budget. And then the next thing, I asked some of our relatives to witness our simple union. After the exchanging of vows, we finally signed our wedding contract. We then had a simple feast with few of the relatives and just like that the next morning, my husband left for work overseas. No more time for honeymoon because we already got two trophys that time😅 So that's how we got married instantly with a one week preparation. We are actually planning for a church wedding, unfortunately I got pregnant with my youngest and then that same year, our housing loan was approved. To cut the long story short, we settled with a civil wedding to make our living together legally, and that was fine with me. So yeah, today we are officially 10 years in marriage and that calls for a celebration right? If you could remember, I mentioned about my friend booking us a one night stay at the hotel. She booked it in January and that time I was worried whether the kids could be with us. I remember being worried that kids might required to have antigen tests or being vaccinated. Fortunately though, this month our city is demoted to alert level 1 which means some restrictions were lifted up, and the other day, the hotel sent me a message that kids were no longer required to have antigen swab test anymore. Yay! So this morning, I started packing the things that we'll be using for a one day stay at hotel. I finished the laundry from yesterday and waited for my brother in law because he will take care of the dogs while we are away. We need to check in by 3 in the afternoon, however, we left home late that is why we arrived at the hotel by 4 in the afternoon. We had a smooth conversation with the receptionist who accomodated us. To be honest guys, this is my very first time to check in a 5 star hotel, although before when my friend came to the Philippines she always invites me to be with her. This time around I wasn't with her, good thing my husband is with me. He is the one who talked to the staffs. They asked as for a 5000 deposit which refundable when we check out tomorrow. My friend already advised me that they might asked for a card so I thought my debit card or my husband's card will be accepted, but according to the receptionist, since our stay was already paid, they can only accept credit card or cash. We don't have a credit card though, good thing I have cash with me. After sometime, the hotel staff gave us the keycard and give us some basic instructions while inside their premises.

When we entered the room, I was so relief from my headache because of the hot weather and traffic while on the way. The room that is given to us was really nice just like as I expected from the website. They have twin bed perfectly for the four of us and a wide sofa that is near the window with a city view. I was just enjoying the perfect view when my husband suddenly asked me to come with him at the mall to buy some foods. By the way the name of the hotel is Conrad Manila and there's an easy access to Mall of Asia from their hotel. We roam around the MOA while the kids were at the hotel. We came back after a while, and the kids wanted to swim. We go down at the third floor and swim even though it was freezing cold. There were only few guests at the pool so we indeed have fun swimming even for a short time only and promised to come back in the morning before we check out.

After swimming, we go back at the mall and had our dinner. I wanted a simple dinner because tomorrow were gonna eat at the buffet restaurant of the hotel. Initially I wanted Japanese food but ended up eating at Shakeys. Burp! We got a lot of freebies from pizza parlor because of availing their supercard. This is my 3rd supercard already because the other 2 were expired.

It was already late, that is why we headed back to our hotel room and just before we go to bed, my husband and I toast for our 10 years of fooling each other, I mean loving and staying with each other for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part.

Happy 10th year anniversary my loves. My forever bae. Let's continue this 10 years until forever. I loveyou behbeh ko to the moon and back! That's it for today. Goodnight coz I might be snoring after I post this article. See you guys tomorrow. Lead image from unsplash while the rest of images were mine.
