The Wedding
Posted on: 15th of July 2009 | Under: Life & Love

Did I mention that I turned 26 last June 1? I guess I didn’t, didn’t I? That’s because I was happily running around being a Maid of Honor the entire day. :)

Wedding photos, as promised:

I love these two! They made me run around on my birthday (with only 2 hours sleep, might I add!?), but I enjoyed every minute of it! <3

I missed the first half of the Gate Keeping, because I was the last one to get my hair done, but I still managed to join in on the fun when we tortured the guys into doing things for us. LOL!

Celebrating JR’s 28th Birthday started off at midnight when I woke him up from his nap and surprised him with a slice of oreo cheesecake and the link to his online gift.

It was nice seeing him read through all the messages, but it was even more heartwarming seeing him all teary-eyed by the end of it. <3

To Someone Special
Posted on: 18th of April 2009 | Under: Life & Love, Shoutous

Almost every year, I try to come up with online gifts for the boyfriend’s Birthday. It has somehow become a yearly tradition of mine. The first couple of years, I was always eager to come up with different things to surprise him, but I lost the creativity and drive to create them for the past three years. Those were also the years that I spent very little time on my internet life and more time on my actual one, so I guess I somehow had an excuse. =P

For the benefit of those who weren’t present in those creative years of mine, here’s the list of the “online gifts” that I gave him:

  • 22nd Bday – This was actually before we got together. =P One of the many “projects” Rachel and I did. =D
  • 23rd Bday -Made this with the help of Rachel again. =D
  • 24th Bday – A simpler one-page greeting.
  • 25th Bday – Just a blog greeting.
  • 26th Bday – I didn’t make anything online =P
  • 27th Bday – No online gift again. But I flew here to Singapore to spend several days with him. I was still working back in Manila then.

Today is his 28th Birthday. For my online gift this year (I finally had some time on my hands!), I compiled greetings from a handful of his family and friends. A total of 46 greetings this time! =D

Thanks to those who greeted me on my special day! :)

The eve of my birthday didn’t turn out so well. A get-together with a few of my friends from Brunei didn’t push through as planned, as most of them cancelled at the last minute. I was pretty frustrated the entire night and the poor boyfriend was the one who had to deal with my crazy mood swings! Thanks, my dear! I seriously don’t know how you can put up with me! :)

My sister and I ended up seeing only one (out of 9!) of those who initially confirmed. We spent the evening chit-chatting over coffee and fraps. A lot of reminiscing about past loves, adventures and craziness, as well as sharing our present lives. We still had fun.

Spent most of my birthday being harrassed at work. The first day of the month is always so hectic at a company who deals with sales and marketing! But all that was rewarded afterwards during dinner with my family and my boyfriend.

Great food + great company is always the best way to spend a special day.

Food at Fish and Co. was delish. The complimentary birthday brownie with vanila ice cream, plus the song the waiters sang and dedicated to me was a great treat too. I hate literally being the center of attention and having everyone in the restaurant turn around to look at me, but it was still fun. Free dessert anyway! Haha!

And because we didn’t want to go home too early, we headed off to Timezone to play a few games and to get our pics taken. :)
