Picked up Qin on the lab..

S: Should we go to the farm?

A: Yeah, sure. When?

S: Right now.

A: Huh? Really??

So yeah, sinong may sabi na hindi pwedeng mag-farm after work? Hahaha.

Walang bawal sa isang Sab Wang. 😂

Mahal ko, your spontaneity always surprises me. 😂

[ndrwwngphx]

I knew you could do it—never doubted you for a second. You’ve always amazed me with the way you handle everything, and this is no exception.

Advance congratulations, my Sabyboo! I’m incredibly proud of you—so, so proud of you, Dr. Wang-Phx! You did it!🫡

Today, I've received many gifts - most were even expensive ones. However, the best thing I received was a warm hug and a phrase saying “生日快乐，儿子。很高兴秦���给了你。”

I would always be glad and proud that I'm loved by my in-laws, especially Mama - the greatest lawyer I've ever met. 😁

Thank you for all of this, laopo. 🫡

Have a lot to celebrate today, and I’m just grateful..

Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary, My Sabyboo.

Two years ago, we began this incredible journey together, and every day since has been a blessing. Thank you for being my partner, confidant and best friend. Here’s to many more years of happiness, adventure and growing together. Mahal kita, laopo.

—————

I can’t believe my little sister/cousin just turned 30 today. I can’t believe how fast time has flown.

Brad, Happy 30th Birthday!

No matter how old you get, you’ll always have me by your side like a big brother. You’ll always have me in your corner, cheering you on and looking out for you. And also always here to remind you that I’m wiser. Hahahaha. Wishing you love, success, and all the happiness in the world. Mahal kita, brad.

My Dear Sethy/Ali,

One whole year of laughter and light,

of tiny hands holding on so tight.

A year of firsts - smiles, steps and cheer,

a precious gift we’ll always hold dear. ‌

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since you came into our lives and turned our world upside down in the best way possible. From your adorable giggles to your endless energy, every single moment with you is pure joy (even the sleepless nights!) You may be small, but you’ve got the biggest piece of our heart.

This past year has been the most incredible journey, watching you grow, learn and fill our lives with so much happiness and love. You may not remember this day, but we will cherish every moment - your laughter, your little milestones and the way you’ve made our hearts fuller than we ever imagined, especially your mom. You are the greatest blessing, and I can’t wait to see the amazing person you’ll become. We love you more than words can say.

Happy 1st Birthday, our little ball of sunshine!

Writing something that gives me roller coaster but forms a reminder..

It was almost a normal day until Qin went home on her own. I was in front of our bed putting down the shirt I got from the wardrobe when she came in. She was facing the door when I looked at her and say, “Oh? You’re early, love. I was about to change to fetch you. You should have told me so I could have prepared earlier.”

I took the shirt on the bed and was about to put it back when she back-hugged me tightly. And I knew something was going on.

I faced her and hugged her back, we stayed like that for minutes before I asked her if she wants to talk about it or if she preferred to wait.

She looked at me with a pleading face, asking me what should we do if she doesn't get her PhD this June. Then she told me what happened. I told her, it’s too early to worry about it because there are still many solutions to try..

A: I want to help you, but I know you want to solve that on your own. So if things get heavier, I’ll be there, okay?

S: (nods and pouts) help me on the proba and stats of it

A: Sure thing, but I want to ask you something.

S: What?

A: When did you get bangs? Just this morning?

S: (laughs) You ruined the moment! How do you always make me laugh on times like this? 😅

A: (laughs also) I’m sorry, I got distracted with your hair. 😂

S: This is just a clip-in, look (removes the bangs) I just need it for *brand* - they want bangs. Why? You don’t like it?

I told her that there’s nothing that not suits her, and went to her telling me I’m lying. Hahahaha. And also her saying, “Speaking of distraction, put on a shirt, you’re distracting me.” HAHAHAHA. 😂

But love, It’s exhausting to be locked in your head with all those thoughts that tie you down. Just for a moment, try with all your might to let go of all things that stop you from being you. Just carry on, whatever happens I’ll always be here, my Sabyboo. Stay as happy as you, like in this photo. 😉

Three years ago today…

Most people don’t know that I proposed to Qin twice—once privately and once publicly. And as special as the public moment was, the private one was just ours, intimate in a way only we could understand.

The day before I proposed, Qin had just returned from Boston. That night, we got so caught up in conversation that we completely lost track of time. We talked for hours—about everything and nothing—until suddenly, it was 5 a.m. Since we had already made it that far, we decided to stay up and watch the sunrise together.

Later that day, after a long rest and a late lunch, I started preparing. Around 5 p.m., Qin was in her study, buried in her dissertation, reading and analyzing reports. I walked in and handed her a thick book, asking if she could read it and tell me what she thought. She gave me a puzzled look but opened it anyway.

As she read, I watched her expression shift from curiosity to confusion. Then, realization dawned on her. The book contained our story—how it all began, the moments that shaped us, the love we built together. When she reached the final pages, she was speechless. Tears welled in her eyes as she turned to me, then suddenly, she hugged me tightly, crying.

When she finally calmed down, I gently took the book from her hands, retrieved the ring hidden inside, and knelt before her. With all the love in my heart, I asked her to marry me. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Later, she asked if I had secretly set up a camera to capture that moment, but I hadn’t. She was a little disappointed—there were no CCTV cameras in her study either. So, she asked me to reenact it while she recorded from her point of view, putting a POV cam. She said she wanted to keep that moment forever, to treasure how I looked as I asked her to be mine.

My Sabyboo, I would reenact that moment for you a thousand times over—as long as you promise to say yes every single time.

[ndrwwngphx]

“My 30 y/o self now still feels how my heart loved you at 20. And how I told you what I feel that night.

My love, you have never stopped being the person I admire the most. I’m always grateful by how safe and secure you make me feel in this journey we have. So let me just celebrate the decade of loving you. I love you so much, love of my life.”

-Qin posted this on her account, and the line ‘love of my life' always gets me. I like it. I love that I’m the love of her life. ☺️

I can’t believe that you’ve loved me for more than 10 years already. Abangers ka, love! 😂 But hey, thank you for never giving up on me, my Sabyboo. ❤️

[ndrwwngphx]

I was browsing through the profiles of my prospective interns when Qin suddenly asked if we could watch a drama.

A: You have time?

S: I need a break, love.

A: What do you want to watch?

S: (hands me the remote) You choose—anything is fine.

I smiled because she had already set it to a C-drama platform, which meant she was subtly nudging me to pick a Chinese one. As I scrolled through the options, I paused at a particular show and asked her,

A: Do you know this actress?

S: Yeah, that’s Zhao Jinmai. Why?

A: She kind of looks like someone… I’m trying to figure out who.

Qin immediately shot me a glare. “She looks like your ex. I know.”

I burst out laughing—she was just too cute. Moments like this are so rare, and they make me feel so silly. 😆

[ndrwwngphx]

Most mornings, Qin and I start our day with a jog at 5 AM. By 6 AM, we’re back home, having breakfast and getting ready for our 7 AM routine—walking Sethy around the park. Yes, Sethy walks now! He took his first steps at 11 months, and now, as he’s about to turn one, time feels like it’s flying. It’s crazy to think that not too long ago, Qin had tons of stroller photos, and now we’re holding his little hands as he walks beside us. 🥹

But here’s the funny part—during our strolls, Sab almost always gets invited to something. And that’s when my mischievous side kicks in. I tell her to use me as an excuse to say no, or better yet, I jump in and personally decline for her. I have no problem playing the “bad guy” if it means saving Sab from the hassle. Anything for my Sabyboo! 😁

Watching you eat that day made me realize how much I missed you.

I missed how you asks me what cuisine should we have for the day, and I will just tell you that Chinese should be fine - because I know that in here, you missed it too.

For more than a month, I missed your cooking. I missed my favorite yang chow fried rice you make and all the pasta you make for me.

So I’ll make sure to exert more effort, laopo. Just go on and focus on your rats.

I surprised Qin by traveling seven hours just to show up at her door. Her reaction?

S: What are you doing here?

A: You said you missed me.

S: Yes! But you flew all the way here just because I said that?

A: Yeah, I missed you and Sethy.

But honestly, it was more than that. A few days ago, Qin mentioned she’d been rewatching her favorite movies and series. That might sound normal to some, but I know my Sabyboo—she does this when she’s anxious or feeling something she can’t quite put into words. It’s her way of finding comfort.

So, being the worried laogong that I am, I packed up and came to her. And truthfully, I’ve been working on a way to stay longer, setting up a remote work arrangement so I can be with her for months.

I know how demanding and overwhelming her PhD can be. If the only thing I can do to help is be physically present—to make her feel safe, secure, and supported—then that’s exactly what I’ll do.

Love, I’d happily be inconvenienced if it means making things more convenient for you. 😉

(And yes, this is her getting LSS from rewatching A Walk to Remember again. 😁)

[ndrwwngphx]

Because Garet never fail to tease me when it comes to these things. 😅

Actually, this game for sportsfest was a bit of a wager. Since my team and colleagues don’t like that I don’t participate in team games, they told me that they will let me have only one game if I scored 40 on basketball. It was obvious because I know they were thinking I can’t since they know I’m not really into basketball, they all assume that I’m not good. But they didn’t know I’m quite the shooter. 😅

Giving surprise to people is really something. 😂 Especially to Qin here who’s so happy I flew to Boston for her. 😄

[ndrwwngphx]

Few days ago, AM told me this. And I’m just so proud of Qin. Ver proud.

Ever since, aside from being physically healthy, my goal has always been to be emotionally and mentally healthy. Because I’ve always been inspired by Qin. She has always been so emotionally healthy that she brings out the best in everyone around her. Imagine being loved by someone like her.

Imagine that. Imagine that her presence itself feels like medicine. Not because she’s trying to fix anyone, but because I know, because of her - I have embraced my own wholeness.

If I’ll tell people what she’s like, I’ll tell them that she’s so grounded that anxious people feel calmer in her presence. She’s so genuine that others no longer feel the need to pretend. She’s so at peace that she becomes a living reminder of what’s possible in this life. Her inner peace created peaceful space for her circle, especially me.

Well, she’s not perfect and nobody is, but she’s so whole that her presence reminds me of my own completeness. She’s so comfortable with her shadows that I feel safe exploring mine. She’s just so real in her healing that she just naturally created a space where I can heal too.

Yeah, she’s the biggest factor into my healing and all sorts of improvement, growth and everything good that happens in my life now. Individually we’re whole, but together we’re more. 😄

[ndrwwngphx]

It’s funny how people approach me to convince Qin of agreeing for something. Obviously, I’m not her, although I can contribute insights, decisions that fall under her jurisdiction are solely hers. I’m just her keen supporter. In our dynamics, I may be the leader but she’s the boss. Well, she might have appeared kind, delicate and gentle most of the times but my wife is a badass too. You can’t win her nor win with her. 😉

[ndrwwngphx]

Qin posted this with a caption:

"A little story for today...

Since the rerun of the play, we’ve been staying at And’s bachelor pad. While we were there, we didn’t have our usual stargazing gear, so And had to make do with his camera. 😂 He found out about the planet parade a bit late and kept apologizing to me, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. I was caught up with work and thought I wouldn’t have time to watch it. But he was like, 'How come? You’ve always loved celestial things!' So, despite everything, he stayed up before dawn, putting in the effort to capture the parade and share it with me.

I’m always so grateful for your thoughtfulness, my love! 😘🤗 @andpofchase "

Laopo, how can I not? When I know I'll miss you more since you have to go back to Boston and do your research. That I know if I get there too, even with your presence I'll probably miss you still. But it's alright, a little sacrifice for the things that drives you in life is a pleasure to me. Watching you always fill my heart, whether performing or doing your academe. I'm just so proud of you. We're so proud of you. And I'll always support you on anything, loms. 😉

[ndrwwngphx]

I was relieved that my flight was on time, allowing me to make it to the final day of Qin’s play. The atmosphere was incredible, with a huge crowd, and everyone—from her fans to the producer, director, and cast—presenting her with bouquets. It almost felt like they were all outdoing me, especially since I didn’t have time to get her one. 😅 Big thanks to Mec for this video! Haha.

Honestly, I was just so proud of Qin. So, so proud. 😊
