Random Thursday

today is our 46th monthsary and we've decided to spent it frugally =D. we tried out, for the first time, the newly opened mang kiko's lechon in lau pasat. we promised to spend only S$10.00 for our dinner but to our dismay, one set meal of liempo costs S$6.00 *sigh*. nevertheless, we gave away our S$12.00 since we're both hungry, too weak to find another place, and craving for that oily grilled porky huhu. we'll be poorer than ever in the next days to come. kaluoy tawn! hehe :p

next stop after dinner, is strolling around raffles (holding hands haha). we didn't plan to have dessert coz we're trying to be "frugal" but we passed by starbucks and i heard the cheesecake calling me as if begging to be devoured (ok, exagg! :p). seriously, i was also craving for something sweet (the moment i saw starbucks that is :D ) because the liempo and chicken was too oily for my taste (i'm trying to be semi-vegetarian btw hehe). so there, moyo gave up on me and i happily savoured the capuccino cheesecake. aylaavveeettt! such definition of frugality (and semi-veg). whateva basta busog! =D

my sister, lovely, happily offered to buy chocolates for our choco bar. yahhhoooo! i didn't force her, promise! i just shared to her this blogsite and let her do her thing, that is, to read hehe. she told me that she can buy ferrero, hershey kisses, patchi and will try to buy godiva as well (chocolates in dubai are pretty cheap). isn't she lovely? hehe. i can't even complain though it seems too much. i mean, thats her, being generous =D. but we'll see if i can control myself from eating those sweets before the BIG day or else, we'll just give away chocnuts haha :D thank you dear sister! but i still hope you'll be present huhu (she's still undecided to come home due to work chuva).

it's my youngest sister's, katrina, birthday today. she's now 24 and will be leaving for UK this october. how sad is that for the eldest sister-bride-to-be? she was informed just this morning and i don't know if that was good or bad news. surely, it was good news for everyone because finally, after the long wait, she'll be working professionally (paid higher) as a nurse. she is supposedly my maid of honor but now...sinaw *sigh*. seriously, i can't imagine how our wedding would turn out knowing my family is not complete. haller its my big day kaya!

anyhoo, i am really happy for her, from the bottom of my heart. i know she's also sad that she cannot attend especially that its her first time as maid of honor (you can just imagine how giddy she was when she forced me to let her be my MOH). but what to do? her future is at stake and i just can't take that away from her and from the whole family. i have to look at the positive side. at least, there's a lot to look forward to. Europe tour is one =D

Counting Days...

around this time, everyone in the Philippines is on vacation or at least on vacation mode. i am sooo jealous because by now, they are enjoying the one week holiday/ long weekend. of course, our suppliers are not exempted. i am pretty sure they are also having the time of their lives and really really making the most of the not so busy week to relax and enjoy. so for the meantime, no updates yet for our wedding preps. next week will be a busy one :D

so why the title? because because i am excited to announce that my hubby-to-be is finally coming to Singapore!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh! the date is final and no turning back. this will be another adventure for both of us. so here's our plan...

his first week - apply, apply, apply and interview, interview, interview
his second week - relax and wait for his EP approval :D
this third week - start working and impress the boss
on the following weeks - save, save, save to increase our millions (hehe!) and to buy our new nicky :D
come December - get married and live happily ever after *biggest grin ever*

yes, i am very confident that he will get a job in a week's time :D (Law of Attraction on the go!)

see you soon MoyoJojo! hehehe =)

Will You Marry Me?

yes, i will!

the not-so-serious proposal happened last October 10, 2008.
he came to Singapore to pay me a one week visit. it was our first time together as lovers part 2 after one year of living separate lives.

it was such a surprise for me when he popped up that question. though we had some discussions about wedding before he came, i never thought he was that serious. apparently he was but i can say, he was not prepared at all. he didn't have a ring. he didn't even plan a dinner or what. we were just roaming around chinese garden then rested in the pagoda area for sometime. while taking pictures and making fun of each other, he suddenly kneeled down and proposed. i was laughing my heart out watching his act. i did not take him seriously. i just jokingly answered him "yes" and asked him to stand up. i asked where's the ring and he told me he will make another proposal. bantay bitaw! was all i can muster.

but yes he did propose again and this time with the ring :D the surprise happened last February 24, 2009, when i was at home for a supposedly vacation but glued in my pc for some work to finished. he appeared in our doorstep with something. he was hiding it in his back and trying his best so i won't see it. i asked him what is it but didn't say anything. i acted irritated so he gave in. he showed me this cute little box wrapped in a gold tin foil with a red ribbon and a small blank card. (that's how lousy he is!) but i can't hide my excitement coz in my mind, it could be the ring he promised. i opened it without giving him the chance to open it for me. my eyes twinkled when i saw the white gold diamond ring and immediately wore it. ana ka excited! he complained because he wanted to personally wear the ring on my finger. so i removed it and asked him to do it. naay take two! hehe :D

but i'm not complaining because it was indeed sweet *wink*. i was literally surprise and was smiling like a kilig schoolgirl :D

so now, we are officially engaged!

The BIG Day!

oh yeah, we are tying the knot!

it was not even serious at first. we were just discussing it out of boredom i think. we were sharing our dream wedding to each other when we are not yet even lovers part 2 and yes, we both have thought of the details too. funny!

so there, we already have a date! tantadannnn...it will be on December 30, 2009! this of course with our parents' blessings last December 24, 2008 ( story will be in another post). i know, we still have a long way to go and many events will surely take place in the months to come. but there's no turning back. this is it, this is really is it!

why the date?because September 30 is too near, which is our anniversary and i personally don't want to feel all panicky with the preparation. the date is also in time of our annual vacation so our expected guests could attend.in short, i want a year preparation for our big day *grin*. honestly, i insisted on the September 30 date but was convinced by Moyo that December is better.

i am happy and he is happy!we both can't wait. 9 months to go!weeeeeeee :)

Yes, the Blog!

finally, i made up my mind!

it is in this little space that i will document our new life together. i will still have my own private nook, where i can write anything about what's inside my complicated mind but i think its also best to have a little place for us in cyberspace. teeheee!

so this is the launching of our online journal. but i have a feeling that i will be visiting this too often than him.

enough said. i think a short introduction will suffice. :D
