project 365 - day 3 - perfect fit (not)

i've always ranted at how no shoes ever fit my feet perfectly. i tried those cute flat, ballet shoes - the ones that look so comfortable because they're just made of textile! -- FAIL!i tried the flat, casual pig skin insole types, the ones that are supposed to be so soft at the soles and perfect for long walks. -- FAIL!about 2 weeks ago, my mom and i found these really comfortable, black, pig skin insole shoes. it has about 1.5 inch heels and it...

project 365 - day 2 - in prayer

my first experience of going to the adoration chapel was at st. andrew's church in paranaque. at first, i found it eerie to be there with the lights dim, everybody in deep prayer, nobody ever talks. but beyond the eeriness was a very solemn moment when i felt closest to my God.here in sg, it's very ironic that we live 3 minutes away from the church and yet i seldom visit the adoration chapel. i am grateful now that my mom asks me to accompany...

project 365 - day 1 - love is messy

i've seen several of my friends do this project in fb. let me try too?while most of them sport wonderfully shot photos, mine will just be miskipaps shots. i don't have the photographer's magic but i sure do love to document my life. so let me start with my day 1. this photo was taken yesterday while we were munching on garrett popcorn. since we learned of garrett's opening in city link, caramel cashew and cheese flavored popcorn have been friday...

THAT night part 3

stressed mommabecause my coordinators were late, my mom took all the pressure of the preparations. the photographers were asking for this and that for the pictorials. i could sense my mom was super stressed but she didn't say a word. grace under pressure! that's what my mom does best.lateamidst the chaos, my coordinators were nowhere to be found. i remember sending kat (the head coordinator) an SMS. i was asking her why her team wasn't in the hotel yet. she said her team bought the mc do meals for the suppliers and they got lost. lame....

THAT night part 2

holland tulipsthe first supplier to arrive at the hotel was holland tulips. i loved the simplicity of my bouquet - pink tulips. the bouquet was small but the size (and more importantly, the weight... and most importantly, the appeal) was perfect for me. the other bouquets were just as lovely. i wish i took pics of the flowers but i wasn't at the right state of mind then. i loved dealing with holland tulips. the transaction was quick and simple and they delivered ok. i say ok because there was a misunderstanding with the offertory flowers....

THAT night part 1

and the day came :)i woke up feeling lightheaded because of the alcohol i took the night before (asus, makadaing kala mo ang dami. 1 glass lang naman). and yes, i think i'm just using the alcohol as an excuse to feel lightheaded. in reality, i was thinking, this is the day that the Lord has made :) kinakabahan na ako sa day na ginawa ni Lord!there were complimentary breakfast sets for 2. i didn't think i could afford to swallow food at this stage. that was the secondary reason. the primary was: i didn't have presentable clothes to wear for...

before THAT night

hola! this blog has been neglected for more than 2 months! well, here i am again! the wedding hype has died down but the married life is just starting (actually, it will start on may because we still have this long distance drama thing).who knows, i'll have amnesia some day. allow me to "briefly" journalize what transpired for the past two months and the wedding day itself (on a later post). it was far from a perfect wedding (it wasn't even...
