Cancelled Anniversary Date

 

A figurine from our wedding cake

My wife and I were supposed to celebrate our 1 st anniversary at Saisaki, but due to unexpected situation, we had a change of plan. Our baby, Kenjiro, had a fever because his 2 upper teeth were starting to come out.

An occasion is a time at which an event occurs. We celebrate an occasion to remember the things happened on that date, regardless of how expensive or simple the celebration may be. There’s no reason for us to postpone the celebration just because we can’t go to Saisaki. So we've decided to celebrate it at home instead. I made a card and composed a poem for her.

Do-it-yourself Anniversary Card

The poem goes like this:

Salamat sa isang taon na puno ng pagmamahal at pagkalinga,
Kay Kenji na iyong anak at sa akin na iyong asawa.

Salamat sa masasarap na adobo na di nakakasawa,
At sa matatamis na mansanas na sa ref ay di nawawala.

Salamat sa pagbunot ng buhok sa aking patilya,
Sa paglinis ng aking tenga at mga kuko sa aking paa.

Di ko maipapangako sa iyo ang buhay na marangya,
Pero gagawin ang makakaya upang ika’y lumigaya.

Ako’y lubos sa nagpapasalamat sa Diyos na mahiwaga,
Dahil ika’y ipinakilala sakin at aking naging asawa.

On my way home, I bought a KFC chicken bucket and her favorite siomai at Chowking. We had dinner together, watched TV series until midnight and talked about what we did that day.
