I will care for you, you will care for me..

t

I first went to Philippines back in May/2003 and boy was it hot!! :P

I went to meet my future wife and mother of my kids. We had been chatting online for about 8 months.. everyday.. for an hour per day. (or more) I told her I hated travelling, but she kept begging me to go visit her. I'm glad I did and I ended up asking her 'will u spend the rest of my life with me?'.

This was our song..

Gary Valenciano - How Did You Know (Audio) 🎵 | With Love

(thanks youtube, for hosting this and all the vids in this post.)

We married the following month. I moved to Philippines for a 2.5 years and we had our first baby.. a chubby little stinker named Ysabella. :)

This was my most happy times in what is now known to me as the first act of my life. If I were to choose a song to represent this time, it would have to be this goodie..

Endless Love (Duet with Mariah Carey) (Live from Royal Albert Hall)

(thanks to youtube for hosting this awesomeness)

I would say this wonderful, young love time lasted a good 10 or so years, before any rocking of the boat settled in. We moved back to usa and it was back to Maui, Hawaii, with a stop over in cali. It was on Maui that we had our second kid.. a son.. Alexander.. in 2008.

Well folks, 22 years later.. we are in process of divorce now. Is it my fault, or did she leave me a long time ago? Whatever. No laying blame. It is what it is and life goes on.

I felt like..

The Masked Singer Philippines - How Am I Supposed To Live Without You - 22B (Dragonfly) - Daryl Ong

(this one is sung by Daryl Ong. He's one of my fave Filipino Singers.)

I was down and out.. very depressed for about 4 months..

I thought I was slowly dying. But now I realize that she gave me 2 great kids and 22 years of love. There is still care,.. just not romantic love anymore. We part as lovers, but remain good friends.

Finally, this is how I feel about it..

Christopher Cross - All Right (Official Lyric Video)

this great song is a fave of mine from the 80s.. thanks again youtube!)

I actually look forward to act II of my life and I feel my true love is out there waiting for me. This final song is the first song I knew all the words to..

Surface - Shower Me With Your Love (With Lyrics)

(thank you, thank you to youtube for keeping all these classics, and to surface for making this song.)
