Life Is Short
It's every girl's fantasy to have her dream wedding come true. Blame it on fairy tales and movies, girls are sucker for romance. We want a fancy wedding that shouts to the whole world how amazing our love life is!!! And the start of our happily ever after is majestic! Haha!!! Well, there's nothing really wrong with that... except that nowadays...budget is tight...tighter I mean, hehe! Couples should know how to prioritize (what things to splurge or save) and what to prioritize (the wedding itself or life after the wedding which is the REAL thing). The real essence of the wedding should also be present...which I believe is to finally have the blessing of GOD of your union as a couple, as husband and wife.
So I've been fantasizing lately - which is a favorite hobby of mine, haha - that a small wedding is actually nice. Small wedding as in only close families and friends are there to witness the wedding and celebrate our love.
Patty Laurel really said it right here:
"I've always wanted to have a small wedding. And by small, I mean really small. To put it in clearer terms: Me, Patrick, The Minister, my family, his family and our tiny entourage. My dream is to have a quiet and solemn ceremony with just our close knit circle of loved ones. Pat and I are extremely friendly people, we have sooooo many friends from here and there! Each person we consider a "friend" is valuable to us and has touched us in their own unique way. But at the end of the day, we have to remember that we're only getting married once..and we'd like to do it OUR WAY. So as a couple we'd like to celebrate it quietly with only our families. We're still planning to have a fun celebration with all our wonderful friends from school, church, work, etc. maybe a few days before or after, but the actual ceremony we'd like to keep as simple and meaningful as possible. This is something Patrick and I have been praying fervently for, that people will respect our decision to keep it small on our BIG day."
A small wedding with a carefree and relax vibe...
Can it also be hilarious??? Haha!
With a touch of your personality...
And details that are truly your own
With you and the guests having FUN!
And.. the LOVE is so alive and present!
Happy Thoughts for a Happy YOU
Have you ever experienced getting even with someone out of
anger but in the end you end up becoming the loser? Well, recently, I found
myself hating someone (ok hate is such a strong word, maybe dislike perhaps?).
I’m not even sure the reason as to my so-called-hatred. I guess I felt insulted
with what that person did to me. So when I had the opportunity, gumanti ako! (sorry, can’t find the
proper English word aside from revenge and vengeance) But then I realized that
it was a dense move on my part. I did not felt like a winner after that. I felt
such a dumb loser instead. *sad face*
Not only did I felt like a loser, I felt so stupid!!! Here I
am carrying a heavy heart everytime I see that person, rolling my eyes
everytime that person speaks, biting my lips and clenching my fist as if I’m
ready to fight! Why am I even that angry? I doubt if that person felt the same
way. I bet that that person is just ok and doesn’t even bother thinking about
me! Haha!!! I’m so childish even feeling this way.
So this morning, I woke up and decided to take control of my
emotions (not the other way around) and of my actions. I already find the guts
to make peace with myself (hello, inner peace should be attained first before
having one with someone, right?) and whoever that person is. J
I’m the type of person who acknowledges my mistake and do
really apologize. I don’t want to go on with my life knowing I have hurt
someone. I’m a worrier!!! I can’t sleep peacefully at night if I’m mad or
someone hurt me. I want to settle things. But not right away. I will pray for
it and talk to someone. I still need to gather courage before I can face
someone. Haha! Hey it’s also a brave thing to do to ask for forgiveness. It’s
not easy. But it is only when you have unloaded the burden that you can
experience bliss.
So, make each day blissful by having only happy thoughts in
mind. Free your heart from worries, frustrations, envy, and pride. Let go of
these negative emotions ‘coz they are hindrance to your happiness. If you dwell
on these negative things you can’t focus on your work, on your relationships,
and on realizing your dreams. Start incorporating positivity in your life.
Smile! Loosen up! Be healthy! J
Remember what Peter Pan said? Think of
happy thoughts so you can fly! J
It's Now or Never!
Weird. The other day
while I was sweeping outside our house I realized that if only I have swept
every day the trash would not have been much! I haven’t swept for three days!
Haha, so imagine yung kalat sa modest garden namin! I can’t believe that such a
menial task would make me realize something.
The humble experience has taught me that if I can do
something now, then might as well DO IT RIGHT AWAY! Don’t wait for tomorrow or
next week or any other day. Tendency, it will just pile up. So if you have
something to file in the office, do it NOW so that nothing will be lost and di
madagdagan work mo in the succeeding days. Stop procrastinating also! If you
have an assignment that is still due next week, gradually do it everyday. Not
the day before the deadline. Haha!
I think I’m talking to myself. Haha! I should really not
wait till tomorrow before I finish something. I hate it when I have to rush
something and the effect is a mediocre output. We aim to make a difference
right? So how can we stand out if we’re mediocre? Let’s put that attitude
behind and start putting LOVE and EFFORT in everything we do. Naks!
Damsel in Distress
I purchased a dress online last June on Damselindisdress. However, they sent me the wrong dress - which happens to be the one I'm wearing above. I was pissed actually but they were willing to replace it. But I don't want to go through another hassle so I decided to keep it. It's flowy and comfy. I actually like it! :))

Day 09 - How You Hope Your Future Will Be Like
I just copied this actually from my day 2. Well, this is what I want to have and to be in ten years and beyond... :)
“We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be
weaving. And we all have some power to make wishes come true, as long as
we keep believing.”- Louisa May Alcott
At 35, I still want to be here on Earth, hehe.. Kidding aside, I want
a better me..a wiser, stronger, happier, and more beautiful (inside and
outside) Darlz… :)
I’m hoping that when I read this blog 10 years from now… not only was
I able to fulfill my wishes and dreams but I’m also living a fulfilled
and content life… :)
Hoping by 35, I’m married to a loving and mabait husband (I.O.O.) with kids (a happy, complete family…)
successful in my career…and loving it actually :)
with a beautiful house (and a car sana, haha..)
to travel to more often (with loved ones…yipeeee!!
more savings and investment!!! :)
a healthy and harmonious relationship with family and friends (can’t live without them!)
of course…a life is meaningless without Jesus…so I hope that my bond with Him grows stronger every day…
…I’m really crossing my fingers now :) and may the odds be ever in my favor.. :)

Gerry's Grill
I'm not exactly a fan of Gerry's Grill but I like their service and the price is reasonable enough. Some foods were too sweet or too sour for my taste but overall..dining there is a good experience.
