Coffee and Conversations: Brewing Life Stories, One Post at a Time

| *Not the actual camera* Just the key holder I bought for the cam’s bag. |
Truly, good things come to those who wait. My good friend and I have proven this again as we received unexpected gifts from our parents. Just when we least expected, all we’ve wished for came true. Yesterday, I received a brand new entry-level DSLR camera from my mom and dad. And today, part of his funds were released by his parents which allowed him to purchase a new car.
Since my dad works overseas, I have to be in constant communication with him so that we would remain close to each other despite the distance. The other night, I talked to him about the current happenings in my life. When we were about to end the conversation, I joked about the camera I have been asking from him since last month. It was unexpected when he said that I can already buy it anytime I want. Well, thanks to my mom who made some efforts in convincing papa to grant my request. So, yesterday, we headed to iClick and bought my Nikon camera.
Being the only son, he gets everything he wants from his parents. But when he started to take advantage of his being an unico hijo, his mom decided to take hold of his finances and all other important things in his life. His car was taken away from him and he was restricted to access his bank accounts. Because of this, he was forced to live a frugal life. The best thing about my boyfriend is he never complained about what his mom did because he completely understands the situation. So, he worked hard to gain his parents’ trust and to show them that he has changed for the better. Luckily, after months of waiting, his wish came true.
These are just some of the things that we are truly grateful of. We wished and waited. We’re glad that we did because we are now perfectly happy with how things in our lives have changed. March 5 and 6 – dates we would never forget!
P.S. I broke his Oakley shades this afternoon because of my clumsiness. He said it’s okay but I really feel guilty about it. Since it came as a gift from his tita who resides in Dubai, I know the pair of sunglasses has a sentimental value. Though I already bought a new one as an apology gift, I still think it’s not enough. There is something that I need to do. Can you suggest one?
I'm so happy for you two! 🙂 And I definitely agree, great things come to those who wait. Right now my life is at a steady but dull pace, but I hope something better comes in sooner or even later.. 🙂 Btw, how about surprise him with a romantic dinner?
Looks like a perfect idea lalo na't malapit na ang 31st month namin 🙂 Thanks for the idea sis!
so happy for you..i believe in the power of The Secret too
Power of positive thinking 🙂 Attracting the things we want!
Kakainggit naman.. I'm happy for you and Abdel. It always takes 2 to tango. Your camera looks good byt the way. haha! =)
Life is really full of surprises..make the most of those gifts and blessings 🙂 Have a great day!
Oakleys are replaceable look it up you should be able to get them fixed free.
I'm a big reader of the secret, and I believe in it too. As an apology gift, perhaps make him a really nice romantic dinner and take him to a movie/sports game that he likes? Or even help him decorate his new car?
nice one! thanks for the share
Wow! I envy you for being so lucky! I wonder when I'll be lucky to myself too and get that nice DSLR I've been dreaming for! Stay in love! 😛
i enjoyed reading your post.You deserves a gift from your parents and Abdel too for accepting his fault and learning to take life seriously. I wish you both the best in life. regarding the sunglasses, he said it's okay so don't worry about it .all he need is your love and understanding.
not sure kung pumasok nag comment ko a while ago.
you must be thankful you live your life expensive.. ;D
and by the way, about Abdel's sunglasses,,mmmmmm,,i can't think of any..i usually don't buy the same item/s i broke esp. those owned by my bf..i rather give him the better stuff.
There's nothing better than his Oakley shades ate gay 🙁 Wala pa gani to nag-one month sa iya. 🙁
Followed/Joined you on GFC <3
Oooh this is so cool!! Surely you guys are really happy and thankful for the gifts <3
That line is perfect.. and you two sound like a perfect couple! Di ba kayo nag-aaway? hehehe.. joke. A little spat can sometimes be healthy.. 🙂
Minsan, when we get everything we want, we tend to think that we can have everything we want. It may sound cruel sa mga sobrang spoiled, but what his parents did somewhat control his finances, it's for his own good.
A romantic dinner sounds nice! 🙂
We too fight ate Leah. Actually, a lot. But in a good way 🙂 Hahaha Thanks for dropping by here. Bakit lahat romantic dinner ang suggestion? I'll think about it. A beach outing perhaps?
wow! You are lucky coz you both have parents like them who provide things you want. Congrats on your new cam and the new car din! Ni ce post! 😀
oakley? that's expensive and it's okay? ^_^
That's the reason why I feel so guilty about it 🙁
baka pwede pang ayusin, arbor ko na lang hehehe
Ay ang bongga! An SLR camera for you and a CAR for your bf is like an imagination for me and hubby. Anyway, that's really great to know about! Blessings do really come to the least of our expectation.
Enjoy your new camera as well as the joy ride in that new car with bf. Galing! Can't wait to see photos!
Yes ate Rona, will post more photos soon. Medyo busy lang talaga these days 🙂
happy for you sis lately ang dami mong blessings, by the way ang cute ng cam
WOW naman, nakakainggit kayo 😀 kung sa'kin, hanggang wish na lang ako pagdating sa ganyan, malabong may magbigay, hahaa.
wow! nice gift from parents. i also want dslr but i know my parents won't buy it for me so i'm still saving. =)

If you can cook, you can treat him to a home-cooked dinner date. I'm sure he would appreciate the effort you put into it. Lalo na if you cook his favorite dishes.
Kahit yung DSLR camera na lang sana pwede kong i-wish, hehe.
You too sounds like a great couple. More wishes to come true for you both.
Wow Congrats Gene! Napakaswerteng babae! Love na love ka talaga ng parents mo noh? Siguro kasi good girl ka naman. Hehehe
Gands ng new camera mo ah, wah ko ma say! Hahaha. Congrats din kay Abdel. 🙂
So you have to remain a good girl ha. Thanks sa pagbisita. 🙂
Wow! You both are indeed lucky! A dslr camera and a car? Sometimes, it's not a sin to wish you have a rich parents…hehehe…
i agree about the importance of time delay and why our Heavenly Father allows the delay (i.e. to set in for us to re-assess) and more fully appreciate the blessings that come after a period of time! i'm sure you will always be reminded of your waiting time whenever you see the Nikon camera and the car!
the key holder looks so cuuuuute :>
congrats sa camera :>
wow! ang bait nmn nang parents mo. i know d nmn nila bbgay un if d mo deserve na mkatanggap nang gnyang gift. and congrats sa bf mo. woot!
you are both so lucky to have that gifts. alam ko masayang-masaya din si dad mo for always giving time communicating with him. yun kasi ang pinaka masayang araw ng mga nasa abroad. kaya di ka niya nahindi'an. ^^ God bless u and your family.
SO happy for the 2 of you! 🙂 You both deserve it 🙂
Wow! Congrats gene… Indeed, good things came to those who wait.
Pa burger sad diha bah…Hehehe… I'm so sad about Abdel's oakley shades but surely he understands it. Ikaw na baya ang best in clumsiness joke…hehehe angay jud ta mag pares gene. DIli lang clumsy limtanon pa jud.
Wala ko maisip na pwde paliton as replacement for the broken shades ha pero pwde siguro ilisan na lang ug the same brand and style. Hehe
Good things come to those who wait, and I couldn't agree more! Thanks so much for sharing that beautiful The Secret quote. I copied the quote and will make an artwork out of it.
Congrats on your new Nikon camera! You earned it because of your patience. God bless! 🙂
agreed! good things really comes to those who wait.
Still waiting for a lucky day though hehe ^_^
indeed, patience is a virtue. Good things come really to those who wait.
I do agree that "Good things come to those who wait". You should start taking pictures na since you already have a DSLR. ^_^
Hapit ko diri gene…
Made a post about our last meet-up… How are you?
Wow lucky you and your bf. You both have supportive parents.
