My Idea Of Heaven

My Idea of Heaven by Leigh Nash... I happen to hear this song at my sister’s multiply site. I thought this song is nice, i like listening to it.... then i asked myself, what could be my idea of heaven? I thought of writing something about my idea of heaven....

My life has never been so perfect, it actually had so many bumps, ups and downs....but then, i reached this point where simple things and even the simplest ones really make me happy. Maybe it comes with age...haha or maybe it’s a different level of maturity i guess, still comes with age!

I am happy. Happy with what i have, a family that’s uber supportive, who cares and loves us, a husband that i love and loves me so much, and of course, i am going to be a mom soon. Isn’t that exciting? I am gonna be a mom to a baby boy. Now that’s cooler! (as you know, he will be the first boy in our family---except for my dad, of course) hahaha exciting! Quite different. I don’t really know how i feel now. I’m on my 18^th week and still have a long way to go. But one thought had crossed my mind when the doctor told us that it’s going to be a boy...that is...how do i take care of a baby boy? Is it different from taking good care of a girl? I don’t know. Funny as it may sound but, i really don’t know how, they say i’ll know when he’s already here, mother’s instinct, that’s what they call it. I helped in taking good care of my youngest sister chinny, i was 10 then when she was born. I would dance her to sleep, in front of an electric fan, hahaha i just thought she falls asleep right away if i do that! and of course not to forget my one and only pamangkin, Geri. I helped in taking good care of her too. I was with her almost everyday when she was growing up. And i loved it. I love being with her, playing with her, watching tv with her and doing just everything with her. When she left the country 2 years ago, i cried so much, hahaha i was like a mom to her, i thought. I missed her so much and would want to talk to her as often as possible. And now, i am here with her, at least near her. I can just see her anytime i want, i just have to visit her at their condo. Happiness. I couldn’t say No to her whenever she requests me to visit her. Hay...my baby Geri, she’s five now and have grown so fast. She’s such a smart, pretty and wonderful kid. I just adore her...

And now, i’m going to have a son. I’m excited at the same time scared. Hahaha this is for real, this time it’s mine. Hehehe i’m looking forward to a fantastic time with him, see him grow up and learn. I want to take good care of him as much as i can. I will be his fan, friend and mommy at the same time. We’re going to be a Family soon. So much love to give him. Oh well, i just can’t wait to see him grow up into a nice fine man like his father...

MY heaven... this is my heaven. With my one true and greatest love. I couldn’t ask for more because i am lucky. I feel i am and i know i am. Being with someone who cares for me and who loves me more than I think he would and he could. Simple things like massaging my feet (even if he also wants one, and i don’t want to do it coz i’m too lazy...he just lets me sleep), he puts baby oil on my feet before i go to a shower after having a long walk, either because we went out or because we jogged (he learned it from his mom, so I won’t get varicose veins—which by the way i already have even before he did this to me), he puts oil on my growing tummy, he cooks breakfast for me—his famous omelette---by the way, tastes really good, he washes the dishes after dinner (it’s his toka since we don’t have a maid yet) even after a whole day’s work. He mops the floor. He likes to play with all his gadgets even before going to bed, but if i ask him to lie down beside me so i can sleep, he would do it, no if’s, no but’s, happily he will oblige. We pray together as a couple, he leads the prayer every night. We can talk about just anything and everything we want. No secrets. We watch tv together. We eat together all the time. He hugs me almost every minute (with exaggeration, of course!). he makes me laugh, even if his jokes are all corny. hahaha he always holds my hand, even when we’re asleep. He is sensitive about my feelings. He makes “amo” right away whenever we have petty quarrels. I feel safe when he’s around. He makes me feel beautiful. He is superb. He is a perfect gentleman. A wonderful husband for me. A great person.

Now, what’s heaven, i think, depends on how a person views his life. If one chooses to be happy, and see only the beautiful things in his life, then it’s not hard to see heaven.. “in heaven love is everywhere”----THIS IS WHERE I AM NOW!

“I never thought I'd get here

I was so far away

I didn't believe in love

Thought it was just a game people play

Everything changed when I met you

I touched your hand

You took my heart

And you led me to a better place

Just the two of us in the dark

This is my idea of Heaven lying here with you

This is my idea of Heaven nothing else I'd rather do

I never thought you'd get here

Why'd you make me wait?

But when I looked into your eyes

I recognized you were my fate

I'd been living in a lonely shell

With no windows to the world

How in God's name did you find

the lone star's loneliest girl?

This is my idea of Heaven lying here with you

This is my idea of Heaven nothing else I'd rather do

To feel you heart beating

To feel our lips meeting

This is my idea of Heaven ooooo

In Heaven love is everywhere

There is no pain there are no tears

In Heaven love lasts forever

It doesn't disappear

This is my idea of Heaven lying here with you

This is my idea of Heaven nothing else I'd rather do

To feel you heart beating

To feel our lips meeting

This is my idea of Heaven ooooo

This is my idea of Heaven lying here with you”
