An Umbrella for 2

Note: Originally posted on Multiply blog in April 2007

Being newly wed, Brandon and I are going through the adventures of marriage. See, it's only been 8 months since that day we said "yes" to each other but our married life has already had different ups and downs. And like any another wedlock, ours is not perfect. But the good thing is after a fight and when apologies have been said, we do compromise. We learn more about ourselves after each let's-talk-about-it session and realize our mistakes. And we reward each other bear hugs after each misunderstanding resolved. All these, including problems have brought us closer. We've learned that when one of us hurts the other, though not intentionally, we shouldn't make room for grudges for we're not magkaaway but magkakampi. I hope that someday I could write a beautiful song about the fragile stage of our union, reflecting everything that we've gone through together. But for now there's one particular hit song that I've fallen inlove with since it came out. I love it not only because of its beat that makes me put my dancing shoes on but also because of the lyrics that seem to have been written for us. Kodus to Ms. Rihanna for these meaningful lines from her song Umbrella:

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together, told you I'll be here forever. Said I'll always be a friend took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end. Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella.

You can run into my arms, it's okay don't be alarmed

Come into me

There's no distance in between our love

So go on and let the rain pour, I'll be all you need and more.
