dreams

when i really really really like something.. i lose sleep over it. and dream about it over and over.

i dreamt that i left... i had a new life... and i never returned. over and over and over.

i musta really want it that bad huh?!?! really really bad.

what to hair

the search for hairstyles & accessories has began..

among my bets are:

and a lot more!

still clueless as ever!

paint job

as we near the end of July and welcome the month of August, our soon to be new home is also right on schedule in welcoming the soon to be Mr & Mrs Mañalac.

paint job - almost done! home is almost almost ready.

i think we can move in, in 2 weeks time. :)

1st week of July lng, pad looks like this. Thanks to Kuya Roden, it looks more live-able now.

our lavender themed rest room. pardon the pics, di ko alam why mukang light blue ang tiles, lavender talaga sya sa totoong buhay. and no.. the whole house isn't painted lavender, violet or purple! syempre hinde papayag ang rakista kng asawa. i just really wanted a certain corner of the house in a shade of violet. a mark that i live in the place .

Von wouldn't agree with violet walls but he agreed to yellow. Cheery-ness! Our living & dining area at ang labas ng apartment. View from the service area.

Akyat tayo sa aming blue and white na kwarto. No pic of the whole room, dunno kase san aangulo to get the whole view. But the room is so small, not much to take a picture of anyway. :p

And my favorite part of the house... syempre ang kusina!

Our uber cute tiles! Kitchen nook! and counter top! Definitely my favorite place. :)

Buo na ang bahay. Laman nlng ang kulang. Need I say more, what else we need? Lahat! All of the above! We need plenty of household everything! For now, walls and pintura palang ang meron. Soon, in God's grace, we'll furnish the place right in time for my birthday. :)

Super konti nalang. We feel super plenty of emotions all at the same time, I don't even know how to describe what they are.

Isang sigaw lng.. OMGeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Hay!

Day check: 20 days!

PS. Thank you Lord! Sobrang dameng blessings, more to come! Amen.

still thankful

i stumbled into this today.

"a series of thank yous"

me smiling is an understatement. a giddy happy heart is more like it.

well, its the year after the next.. and i'm still happily in the same spot, blogging and saying thank you for everything that we've shared and will be sharing.

next year will be a different story. i definitely will be on a different spot, but something tells me that i'd still have the same happy feeling. ;)

how did i ever get this lucky?

again, thank you.

a veil-y good question

23 days left and I am faced with questions regarding details more than ever (more than I ever want to think about!).

my gown is in its final stages of alteration and since i saw it a question of what veil to wear with it remains unanswered. 

i think it would go well with a long veil...

A long flowy veil

- is dramatic

- is romantic

- is traditional and symbolic

- looks great in photos

- is a once in a lifetime fashion choice

- can look creepy in the wrong color and fabric

going back,,,

the gown will also look good with a birdcage veil....

a birdcage veil, on the other hand,

- is more contemporary

- chic & trendy

- is different

-looks good on an outdoor wedding (just like ours... well so does the long veil!)

- is also a once in a lifetime fashion choice

- may not look good on everyone

tough. so again, what to veil?

and oh... the gown... i have no photos of it yet... the gown will shine in its due time...

let me just say, Cate Blanchett - Armani Prive - Cannes 2008... 

lovely inspiration
