We Did It!
Posted on: 22nd of February 2010 | Under: Life & Love

After six years and four months, we finally got married last February 17, 2010! :)

Well, it’s not the church wedding yet (that’s scheduled for the first part of 2011), but our Registration of Marriage in Singapore. Similar to a Civil Wedding, the whole ceremony was quite short and simple. However, the entire family (except for JR’s younger brother) flew in, so it turned out to be quite a nice celebration nevertheless.

My sister did my makeup:

I sat in front of our bedroom window and placed a portable mirror so I could see the makeup application progress. =P

Ending 2009
Posted on: 11th of January 2010 | Under: Life & Love

The last month of 2009 was a whirlwind of events filled with happy memories. Being back in Manila meant having more time to spend with family and friends, and that’s exactly what I did. From reunions, dinners, parties to simple meals at home.

I tend to take less photos when I’m having too much fun, but here’s a few that I did manage to take from different events:

Impromptu night out with friends, followed by an intimate pre-Christmas dinner two weeks after. :)

Eggzmas party the day after JR arrived from Singapore. We missed last year’s party, so we made sure we could make it this year. :) Photo courtesy of Jaypee.

Mass, dinner, gift-giving and our yearly family photo on the eve of Christmas. <3

Unwinding in Manila
Posted on: 16th of May 2009 | Under: Life & Love

I’m back in Manila for a ten-day trip. I arrived on Wednesday and have spent the entire week either at home or bonding with my mom and sister. The food has also been overwhelming. It’s difficult to ignore all the food whenever I’m in Manila. In fact, on my first day back, all I could just think about was what and where to eat! Good luck to my diet (no ephedrine diet pills)! LOL!

My dog, Gucci, has also made it pretty obvious that she’s thrilled to have me back home. She follows me everywhere and insists on sleeping next to me like she used to. <3

She’s a happy little mutt! =)

And I’m a happy mommy! =P

She loves me! Wheee! XD

Tomorrow I’ll be spending the day with my family at out farm. Then next week I’m meeting up with different sets of friends.

It’s so good to be back home! <3

Weekend Trip to KL
Posted on: 21st of March 2009 | Under: Travel Junkie

Since I’ve been pretty idle lately, I took my mom’s offer of going down to KL to see her and my sister last weekend. I figured it would be just the perfect getaway, so I took a five hour bus ride and joined them for a three-day adventure. And what an adventure it truly was!

We shopped and ate to the brim! My sister and I were running around, bouncing from one mall to another, while my mom had to attend to her business gatherings. We went crazy over shoes!

We were also able to do a little bit of touring with my mom and the two couples who came with them from Manila. It was the perfect bonding time with my mom. I missed her! The sight-seeing was fun, but I think everyone was more happy during shopping and eating time. We begged our tour guide/driver to bring us to eat durian… TWICE! LOL!

Here are several photos of the trip:

Our hotel. Perfect location, because it was in the middle of all the lovely shopping malls! XD Next time, I shall try one of the boutique hotels around the city.
