I really never considered myself a blogger.  Much less a person whom likes to keep tab on things that they do on a daily basis.  Nor did I keep any diaries to document my life.  Well, I did try but gave up after a few entries.  Leaving the diary pretty much unused and new.  He he he.   Didn’t really have the patience for it nor the articulation to make myself be understood.  I guess, I write like I talk and I talk like I write.

I do have a few blog sites.  Usually I post when there’s something happening or anything interesting that happened to me.  Mundane stuff, I just let it float and never see the light of  the webpage.

Actually I’m a bit envious of bloggers out there living interesting lives.  Or have a passion for something that they can talk endlessly about without boring their readers.  I really never grasp how they did it.  I always thought that whatever I blog about, no one would even be interested to read about it.  Since I’m not that interesting to begin with. Reading through the blogs of other people made me realized that this is the only way to let off steam and whatnots. Right?

These couple of days I have been blog hopping here in Sanrio Town.  Reading and checking out other peoples site.  Making me see other peoples interests.  The pictures they post definitely worth more than a thousand words!  And you know what?  I’m inspired to get into this new age of shouting to world that I’m alive! That I’m here and living and here are my interests.

In conclusion, I want to thank Sanrio Town and all the bloggers out there. For letting me see the light. For wanting to be part of this Sanrio Town blog family.

Let the magic of blogging commence….

Last week,  I entered a contest in newworlds.ph  It’s an org for all fantasy and sci-fi lovers out there with different clubs under its belt.  Like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Harry Potter and a lot more.  I’m personally in a few of those clubs though some in lurker mode (me bad!).  So I am what you call a self confessed geek!  So when the contest for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army is in play.  I thought to myself, why not try my luck.  My husband even sent his own entry (another self-confessed geek).  Yesterday was the drawing.  And as the title of the blog says….I won!!!  I was one of the 5 first prize winners of a pair of advance screening tickets, a Hellboy book and a Hellboy trucker cap. The screening was tonight, so my husband and I watched it.  I loved the movie a lot.  Though, I still don’t get it why it wasn’t that popular in the US.  The effects were great since it came from the makers of “Pan’s Labyrinth” the costumes and set are top notch.  Even the story is well thought of.  Maybe the geek in me is trying to PR the movie.   Nevertheless, it’s worth the watch!

Wow!  I didn’t expect Sanrio Town to do this type of contest.

Personally I loooove traveling.  And I must admit I’m lucky enough to have been to places.  So rummaging thru my folders of pictures.  It seems that  early this year, I’ve been to three countries namely China, Macau and Singapore.

Xiamen, China

My Father, originally from Xiamen has been fond of going back and forth to his homeland.  When he passed we somehow continued this tradition of going back “Home”.  Like a remembrance of sorts.  Being with family and friends in China is always fun.

“The roof top view in the city.”

Macau

We stayed in the newly opened Venetian Hotel.  It was really lovely with canals built inside the hotel and Gondolier singing while managing the gondola thru the watery streets.  Inside the hotel there are all the amenities that you will need from food court to shops galore.  One need not go out anymore, just hangin’ inside the hotel will take you a couple of days to explore.

It’s the Big Singapore Sale!  Need I say more?

A few weeks before the wedding, my fiance (of whom I fondly call my Frog, its kinda a long story he he he) and I had our pre-nups in Fully Booked, Serendra.  Though, its not the typical out of town thing that they usually do nor do we have beaches and sunset to be our backdrop.  Since we’re both book lovers and we met because of Fully Booked hosting Neil Gaiman’s autograph signing.  We thought that having our pictures taken there is the most suitable thing to do.

We arrived before the store opened giving us enough time to have pictures without the lurkers.  And letting our inner bookworm shine.  End result?  The pictures were amazing.  And if I’m not mistaken, the studio who did our photo loved it too and is going to use it as a sample in their store. ^^

….A kiss is just a kiss….

July 26, I got hitched to my Frog who is now my full pledge Prince!  Though I’m not too sure where his kingdom lies but still his a Prince in my eyes.  (Probably needed glasses)  He he he he.

The wedding was not quite what I had pictured and yet a lot of people told me it was really pretty and well organized.  I was stressed for the last couple of months prior to the big day.  That time I was not done with the souvenirs nor finalized any last minute details to make it more dreamlike.  I guess you might say I don’t want it too well planned because usually when I plan something, there’s always a glitch that I just can’t prevent.  Like I said, here are some of the glitches that we had encountered.

• My Mom was suppose to be with me in the Bridal car but someone said otherwise.
• Upon my great entrance in the church a humongous gust of wind blew off my veil and my make up artists where helping me pin it down.  Needless to say when the photos came in.  There were a lot of pair of hands in the picture.  Was not able to get a good pic of my entrance >_>

• “Where did all those hands come from?! Creepy!”

• While saying my vows my false lashes had a mind of its own.  And I have the video and pictures to prove it.  The horror!
• When we were exiting the church, no one let out the confetti’s and poppers.  The latter was left behind the house.  And to think both Froggy and I had a couple of those for the sole purpose of it.
• The guest book wasn’t passed around leaving some of the pages blank.
• The supposed high light of the reception was the featured slide show made by a friend of ours was shown earlier than expected.  Hence no one really paid that much attention to the workmanship of the video.
• The souvenir for the Godfathers was not given to them because it was opened and passed around instead.
• Most of the groom’s guests left early, leaving us some left over souvenirs.  Which my family had really worked hard to make.  (Oh well more for me! Whee!)

“Labor of love and a bucket full of sweat!”

Though from all those fortuitous events, I must say it was pretty all right.  I guess since we’re the main event, stressing out the minor details did irk me.  It was my big day and I want it memorable and magical.  I guess it is now, with all the errors that happened.  My brother-in law did say, it’s not about the wedding but it’s all about the marriage.  Let’s cross our fingers that’s his right!

“Picture Perfect”

After a month of married life.  I say it ain’t as bad as the others say.  We did encounter some conflicts but its not really of a big deal.   It’s nice to have my Frog with me.  Though his work time left us less quality time. But I can’t complain because it’s how it is.  Plus, I got domesticated.  People know me, will probably say I’ll have a hard time with the household chore.  To tell you the truth, I still get stressed if I can’t clean the house spotless.  But nevertheless, I was able to make it livable and somewhat less of a pigsty.  And as long as my husband doesn’t complain with the mess then its fine with me.  Of course, I do my share of chores so does he.  In fact, we love cooking together.  It’s the most bonding thing we do.  He really likes to cook.  And I really like to eat.  Don’t you think we’re well suited? he he he he.
