hello, world!

4 weeks in the UK and I'm still a bit overwhelmed about everything that's happening. So this is what it's like being "married". Don't get me wrong, I would strongly recommend marriage. I just realized that it's hard work as well as pure fun. I feel like I've grown up the past weeks. I'm actually taking on adult tasks! Hahaha.

I have learned that caring for someone is really...what's the word? a BLESSING? an ACT OF LOVE? I can't find the right description but basically, caring for someone makes me feel closer to God.

I miss Manila and I miss my family and friends. But I know that God has big plans for me and sweetcorn. We're both excited!

I haven't blogged much because I've been busy fixing up our place. Just to give you a sneak preview, here are some before and after shots:

I'm putting the finishing touches then we're ready for that housewarming! Like what I said, marriage is hard work! ;)

Got to go! I'll be checking in again soon with stories of our UK adventure!

off to a great adventure!

In the spirit of Ate Shawie's latest movie, I packed my bags, and now I'm here in London.

I got my visa last May 30 then I was off to London last June 3! I'm sorry if I didn't get to say goodbye to you, my dear friends. As it turns out, this will be a short trip for me. I'll be back in November...so basically, I'm just taking a vacation.

God answered our prayers. I just wanted to spend my birthday with Sweetcorn. Thank you for small miracles.

Now life begins! =)

P.S. my globe number's on roaming so I'll expect birthday greetings =)

What makes me HAPPY?

This!!!!! =)

Macau Mania

Macau trip with my family. Lotsa food, lotsa fun. I can't help but compare Manila with Macau. Oh, how I wish we could seriously improve our public transportation system! I'm still tired as I had very little sleep the past 5 days. So here are the pictures. Let them tell the story....

On our way!

Checking in at Casa Real....

Touring the city...

The Venetian no less...




Crossing the border for some shopping in China...

We got caught in the rain, I think it was signal no. 8 (Neoguri Typhoon). No buses, no taxis. It was quite an experience. Nobody could really speak English (how sad). Good thing there were so many Filipinos in Macau, ready to help, ready to "rescue" us.

That's about it. More pictures at my multiply site!

Happy Easter!

Sharing with you some pictures during the Annual LV Easter Egg Hunt! I felt so old, seriously. Not so long ago, I would get all excited, ready with my big basket for some egg hunting! Now, I helped with the program....and everyone's calling me "Ate".

But just like old times, it was fun! =)

Celebrating after the event...is there something on my face? ;)

:(

If I had me a bag of good wishes

There's no mystery to what I would do

I would use all my magical powers

And try to get next to you

I would bring you a field of flowers

As your lucky star would do

With my heart I would paint you a rainbow

If I could get next to you

Late at night when I close my eyes

Make believin' that you are here

Dreamin' of the things we do

If I could get next to you

post analysis

I attended a wedding yesterday, the first after my own. I was a bit hesitant, attending the church ceremony only because I was pretty sure that I won't be able to control my emotions. Ta-da! As soon as Alex walked in, tears started. I cried when Alex and Mike exchanged vows, I cried when they exchanged rings, heck, I even cried during the offertory (touched by the songs, fyi).

As I knelt down to pray, I couldn't help but cry (again!). But this time, they were tears of sadness...and perhaps tears of frustration. I called out to our Lord - I need to be with my husband. More than ever, I felt so alone. Two people joined together as one - nothing could be more beautiful than that. But here I am in Manila and my husband is in London. Though I'm surrounded by friends and family here, I long to be with him.

I couldn't help but re-live the emotions and feelings I felt during my not-so-long-ago wedding...I realized I didn't cry. I guess I was too happy to cry, not even to cry tears of joy.

How I wish I'd feel that way again...

More pictures!

Sharing with everyone pictures shown during our wedding reception. Some growing up pictures, and lots of together pictures! Feel the love! =)
