I love Candles

       I was raised thinking that candles came only in few colors, like red, yellow and white and can be used when praying, for illumination during power interruption, for birthday cakes, etc. It really didn't came across on my mind that candles can also set a soft, warm and romantic ambience. No wonder when I first stepped in to my hubby's house I saw candles all over the place. I did not ask any question thinking that its an invasion of my hubby's privacy since we were not married at that time.     

     As the time goes by, I realized that candles are quite popular here in the United States. It comes in different shapes, sizes, colors and even scents. I remember way back when I was living in the Philippines that whenever I smell candles (because it's not scented), my mind was wandering thinking that a ghost was near me....that's creepy. But now I think having candles in the house adds its beauty. I was no longer thinking creepy things whenever I smelled it, instead I feel relax and at peace.

     Sometimes also, instead of going out to eat dinner, me and my hubby will cook at home or order foods to go, lighted all our candles and set our table as if we were in an expensive restaurant. It's indeed very romantic. In fact, candles are now part in our house decoration, from our living room to our bathroom. I have few candles that have not been used. I kept them in our cabinet and probably use it on an special occasion.
