May You Live All the Days Of Your Life

16 years ago a certain boy (thinking i can't read his mouth) blew me a kiss and whispered "i love you". I just laughed and never saw him again.

Flash a couple of decades. I got married. Turns out, I married that boy and he turned 30 today.

I fell in love with him the first time i watched his eyes crinkle when he laughed at my joke nobody else find funny. That's when i knew he's the one i wanna spend the rest of my life with. And God knows how much I prayed for him and knowing that God controlled the ebb and flow of the tides, gave us confidence that everything in our lives was under his control as well. Even if we did not have a penny to our name, we all have the riches one could hope for right here- him and me, the sunset and sea. ...charing! hihihi.

Happy birthday Jayson. I love you. Little girls adore you, dogs lick you and mothers love you. You are so the golden boy.

...okay so he wanted a macho birthday celebration. He wanted a volcano i have him one and the parking lot cake from our friends made his day.

More pictures tomorrow. My ass still hurts, even my earlobe hurts. Have a great day everyone!

Location: Pinatubo Volcano

Wild Heart

It's husband's birthday this coming weekend, so he wants to climb a volcano....!!!! Shocked much? hihihi. c",) Well that's not a bad idea. Thank God i didn't marry a potato couch. He's my wild heart.

So by tomorrow we're gonna swim on the crater, experience an amazing spa, volcanic style and eat a lot of ashes. Yum.

Wish us luck cos our ass is gonna get a lot of beating, a lot of heat, more or less an hour of trekking and God knows what's more.

Have an amazing weekend everyone.

I Believe In God, I Only Spell it Nature

It's been countless times we've been up here. This mountain holds a special place in our hearts. Obviously, we always take our pictures here, sometimes on different part of the mountain but same location.

Ill always be grateful for living in our small beautiful town surrounded by mountains and beaches, seems like nature is just around the corner. Well it is. Nature here is everywhere. Just like today after reaching the top of this mountain, the magnitude of space around you makes you feel small and there's this power of nature you can't ignore. Once you've been hit by a blast of refreshingly cool air, you'd never want to go back down. Suddenly everything looks so peaceful. Everything is forgotten. The busy town looks so quiet and still. It's like time up here stops for you to see the wonderful world God has created. I guess that's what people tend to do, we forget to look at ourselves at a universal standpoint, cos when we do, something inside us always reminds us that there are bigger and better things to worry about.

Have a great day everyone!

Middle Of Nowhere

....where exactly is the middle of nowhere? Just kiddiiiiing. hihihi.

so I was cold to the bones yesterday. How cold? Ice Queen cold, or not. Maybe for the Canadians they call this the heat wave if you ask what's summer for them. hihihi.

Well it's this time of the year where the air here really gets cold, at least for me, so am wearing all my thrifted blazers and jackets before summer starts all over again. Don't get me wrong, I love summer. The combination of sand, sun, water and baked skin is staple to complete my year. For now am just enjoying the breezy air that will soon say goodbye when February comes.

Have a great day everyone. Don't let anything spoil this wonderful day for you. God bless.

And again, thank you so much readers for supporting this blog for the longest time. All the comments and emails are deeply appreciated. You are all amazing.

Thank You Cuteture

I found this shiny bubble dress on the floor abandoned by an undecided thrift shopper a week ago for 1$. Ahamazing.

Anyway, do you remember my heart necklace i bought a coupe of months ago from Cuteture? So when the owner of the store, Jenni Epperson said she's gonna send me another one as a gift am just beyond ecstatic. Yey! Isn't this plastic diamond necklace gorgeous? It's love at first sight i must say. It's so cute. Very cuteture right?

Cuteture is on sale now and today, January 25 new collection will be launched.

Shop at Cuteture now. Have a great Monday!

A Little Burn Won't Hurt

Thrifters know that items from the second hand stores aren't in it's pristine condition all the time. Perfect example is this sequined summer floral dress i got two weeks ago. I have a feeling the first owner didn't know how to use an iron and burnt the front of this gorgeous dress. I was a bit hesitant getting this, but wow, i LOVE the sequins. So cute. I know i must get it and think about later how am gonna repair the little damage. Well it's not that hard to decide cos the thrift shop owner sold it to me for half a $. YEs ladies, that's one trick you can do, you can bargain much lower than the asking price for items that has some little rip and holes that can be repaired. That's just okay. Or items that can be altered to make it more in style. So for the meantime, i covered the burn with my huge necklace. hihihihi. Hope it does the trick.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Layers

Hope the pile of pearls isn't too much. hihihi. The middle one is a vintage piece from my mom. I first borrowed it from her when i was twelve. And a few years ago she finally gave it to me. One of my priced possession. Mothers are LOVE.

And this dress, of course it's from my recent thrifting. Where else could i possibly get this beauty other than from the mysterious world of thrift shops. I told you many many times, thrifting is gooood. I haven't been shopping dresses from the malls for months now and i don't want to sound too cocky but malls bore me. hihihi. joke! But I love the aroma of malls...hmmmmm money. Smells so delish. Even the shoppers there smells like one. I don't belong there cos i smell like a mold.

So speaking of shopping. I just made a vow, especially to my husband that i won't shop for brand new clothes till May. c",) And I just wrote a big note on our fridge saying NO SHOPPING or Satan will visit you in your sleep. I guess that will do it. Satan is the best blackmailer. Fear is a great motivator.

Okay seriously how do you motivate yourself not to shop?

I Am so High. I can hear Heaven

There is something utterly fascinating about the change of months and days as it marks a possibility to travel forward mentally. Bravely take those untouched days of 2010 ahead of you and imagine what you can create, have, feel, love and discover more and more the butterfly in you.

2010 you are the best!

Have a happy Monday!
