Okey as promised, these are the engagement pictures of a very special and lovely couple, bill + joahnna, the newbie-in-photography boyfriend shot two months ago.

Everytime the boyfriend puts his heart and soul into something he so wants to achieve, he gets it and he nails it big time. I don't sound like a proud girlfriend, do I? haha

Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did. :)

It's 10:00 p.m. Home sweet home. I'm back. :)

I think we all have our fair share of annoying taxi cab experience. But I'm too tired to rant about it right now.

Still nothing beats the comfort of home even if that means sleeping on a bed full of clothes and whatevers.

Good night blogosphere. :)

born in the 80's

I'm leaving for Manila today. Hope the plane ride won't be as bumpy and turbulent like the last time. Flying alone with no one to talk to makes me focus on the vibrations. I can't count how many Our Fathers and Hail Mary's I've prayed during those times to keep my mind off from thinking of the worst (like the plane's gonna fall apart and God knows what). I'm such a worry-freak (read: praning!) haha

Please Lord bless us with a good weather!

As for the outfit, I'm loving the tutu-ish bottom detail of the dress. So 80's! Since my dad is away, I hiked up the dress a little bit. Eeeck. haha If he sees me in that I'm sure he'll sermon me about showing a "little" skin...To him a "little" means "too much". But I love it when he's being conservative like that. :)

The shoes are actually my current fave (obvious much?) the boyfriend is sick of me wearing them. So i tweaked it a bit and wore black socks to fake them into a pair of booties. The socks are actually my dad's. haha

I'll be back for regular programming after two days. :)

There was a point in my life when i dreaded wearing dresses because i was way too skinny and i had a lollipop head. I was a total drab. I dreamt that someday a little meat will find its way on my bones.

Fashion fairy must have heard my wishes because now I have the body that I'm comfortable with. Since then I have stuffed my closet with every pretty dress imaginable. I'm crazy over them!

And I'm wearing them now with a vengeance....

black & white is how it should be

I think leggings are God's gift to fashion. They're comfy and practical when wearing tunics to avoid unintentional flashing of one's undies. And they give the illusion of skinnier and longer legs.
This pair is too used up. I think it's time to give it a break. It has now suffered lints brought about by numerous washings.

Vacation update: I think I'm gonna get that most anticipated vacation. Yippeee! **i'm tumbling now!** :) :) :)

Btw, I will be in good old Manille next week for work. Hope I can insert a little wandering here and there. But too bad I'm on a shopping ban. :( Note to self: Leave credit card at home to resist temptation.haha
But on a good note, i am travelling with a companion this time around. And with my best office buddy no less! This should be exciting. :)
I have already commissioned her to do my photos for my chictopia outfit posts. No more at an arm's length photos of me. Yey! She is equally narcissistic so that won't really be a hassle for her. Haha

Note to self: smile more often.

Here's to the black outfit and the constant sourpuss expression.
Who died?

I'm feeling rather sickly these days.
NEED.VACATION.ASAP.

Meanwhile, these photos were taken one sunny afternoon during a picnic/park outing with the boyfriend. It was raining nonstop from the previous days and le soleil was surprisingly up and smiling, so we grabbed the opportunity to bask in the beautiful weather.
