Friday favorites: Print on Print

I am glad that i could still shop even if i don't have a job yet. :) Reggie gives me shopping moolah. He surely knows that a secret to a happy life is a happy wife.hahaha...

Grillin' for Memorial Day

Because it's memorial day and everyone seems to be grillin', we joined the bandwagon and had our own cookout at Manong's place.While almost everyone was at the beach or at the park working on their tan, the pinoys had to take out the umbrella for some shade because Mr Sun☀ was out and about. It felt like we were also grilled under the sun(hahaha) but i couldn't complain more thinking it was my BIL roald who did the grillin'. We had fun anyway and looking forward to another BBQ day since reggie and joni weren't able to join us.

our lovely shade with the special appearance of the plastics :)

 

 let the grillin' start!

 

corn,zucchine,porkbelly and hotdog on the spotlight. the smell made me hungry.

Happy Memorial Day! 

Friday favorites ♥

I am inspired by Lauren Conrad's friday favorites so i'm gonna be sharing mine too.

My current favorite is robin's egg. i love how cool and fresh the color is.

i snapped this from a JC Penney catalog.

 

DIY since mani and pedi are much expensive here.

 

my double strap swatch watch. my remembrance from my casino winning in Singapore.haha...

 

something from old navy for my beauty essentials

 

i love these.my spring nail color

 

this color palette is so pretty.i can't get over it.nice for a wedding motif.

 

 my first time to see a real robin's egg. this was just outside our window last week.

Thank God for appetizers!

In a place where everything on the menu has a calorie count, i worry about my weight. I love food and i love food, food, food. I think u got my point there but i hate to gain weight and add more bulge to my tummy. Haha. I hate not being able to wear my favorite piece of clothing because it's too fit or the fabic doesn't go well with my body shape. i love clothes more than i love food.hehe... Before i left, people warned me about gaining weight and it did scare me. Everytime we dine out, i could hardly finish my meal and Reggie always ends up eating the extra. Poor hubby!hehe.american size is indeed a big size. The operative word is big and i don't like it. I dread looking at the mirror and seeing myself gain weight by the day.  Thank God for appetizers and sandwiches! They are my new bestfriends, simply because of the small proportion which my tummy can accommodate.

generous serving of their meals 

more calories and counting...

The ringer

I love jewelries but i am a bit PARANOID (yes, it should be in caps) when it comes to snatchers and other what-nots so i just buy cute accessories--no jewels, no real stones but still pretty.

 

One of my fave shops is accessorize. It is a big girls candy store where you wanted to grab everything. The store can be very generous when it comes to their 70 percent off sale and being a big fan of them, i never leave the store without getting something for myself. Accessories add a certain flair to an ordinary outfit. I love wearing rings so lemme share a few of mine.

 

i love bows.i got this in one of my trips in manila.

 

the big apple.i usually wear this with my " i love NY" shirt.

 

flower power.

 

When Prince William proposed to Kate, everyone wished to have the same ring as her. I believe it was the most in demand style at that time. haha.. It took a while for me to find a replica of her ring.it may not be same but its something closer to what Kate has. I wore this today because it's William and Kate's wedding anniversary.

 

my engagement ring. i fell in love with this the moment Reggie placed it on my finger.

threesome.thats our wedding rings right there with my E-ring.

Going japanese

My first hibachi experience. Reggie and i had dinner at sapporo sushi and hibachi restaurant. I love what we ordered and its now on my list of must-go-back-places.

Spring Fling

Its my first time to experience spring on this side of the world.And the grasses are greener now and the flowers are fabulous.The weather is just beautiful. I can now wear shorts and slippers outside.Spring is lovely. ♥♥♥

Blogger app

Lets see if i can update this page often now that i have this app on my phone.

I just said " I DO"

last day

Its not like its the end of the world but its my last day of being single.yes,you read it right.I am getting married tomorrow, March 8,2012 at 630P in Parsippany,NJ. It's been a while since I've updated this page so there has been a lot of changes. I always come back to blogger when i feel that facebook and twitter are way too overrated. Greetings are starting to fill my FB wall and i find it weird.excited?i dunno,maybe because im not stressed and not pressured so excitement and nervousness has to take a back seat. this is it!there's no going back...

to God be the glory!

The Delta Experience

For seven years, i've always been on the other side of the phone as a customer service rep for a US-based travel agency. I was really excited for the long trip because it's my first time even if  I had a 25-hr trip with connections in Tokyo and Atlanta. Reggie doesn't want me to choose boeing 747 for the longer leg of my flight, He suggested i should fly with boeing 777 from Tokyo to Atlanta which is a 12hr flight. I've booked a thousand trips for my customers but i never really cared about the difference between a boeing 747 and boeing 777. I never understood why passengers would freak out if they end up getting a 747. The only difference between the two is the personal tv. The long trip would go from bad to worse if there's no entertainment on board. I had my phone and ipad ready with games installed but i ended up just watching movies on my personal tv. So,go na sa 777! :)

the personal tv which made the long trip shorter.

 

 DL is generous with the food they serve on board.

Hello USA!my point of entry is Atlanta.

airport train going to the other terminal.cool! we don't have this in the Philippines.

I cannot wait for my flight to Newark.

Passengers calling who missed their flights are quite annoying.

kiosk for missed flights

 Welcome to New Jersey! I'm finally here!

the start of something new

I feel like there are some loop holes in this blog since it took me a while to update this and the next thing you know, i'm already in a different country. I changed my zip code to 07109 and if you google that, it would say "Belleville, New Jersey". I arrived here last February 11 with a fiancee visa. You would think i'm living the american dream but no. I love traveling but it never crossed my mind that one day i'd get to live here. I would call it i'm living with my american dreamboy.hahaha... Reggie and I have been together for 6 years and it was the right time for us to settle down and start a family of our own. I'm still working on my papers for my residency. We're hoping i could get it sooner so that i could start looking for a job. For now, i'm a plain housewife with lotsa time to sleep.hahaha...

Good luck to us!

3 things today

• wake up early
• don't ask questions
• forget about what happened last march and never talk about it.

Justathought

We grew up listening to disney stories which made us believe in happy ending and one true love.sometimes I wish i live in their era with one evil bitch stepmother because in our world, there are more evil characters. witches are easier to deal with than bitches.

magic three

1. i should never beg for love.
2. i should never seek for attention.
3. i should never force myself to fit in when i can simply stand out.

news

the bad thing about a big news is everyone knows about it and it sucks if it will not be materialized.that's why i wanted to be discrete for something i consider important and special. everything in this world is temporary.nothing is guaranteed.

i have to beg if i need to

Lord,please heal my heart... it's bleeding.please put it back together.

facebook is overrated and so is twitter so here i am wasting time here which was my very first blog.

b*itch month

april was my b*tch month.i hated it.i was betrayed and my trust was put to the test.i really thought april was one of the best months but it was my waterloo.i've been so down lately and i need to feel well sooner.everything just went by slowly and i felt like im this tiny branch swinging to whichever side the wind blows.i felt horrible.devastated.everyone thought i'm happy but i'm broken into pieces.it has affected my job and my reaction to certain life-challenging events has turned blaaaah.ok,i get it.i've gone with the flow but it doesn't sound right.they said "only dead fishes go with the flow".i really hope and pray that this month would be a-MAY-zing.
