Inspiration Boards!

Once upon a time, I used to have Photoshop. If I had it now, I bet I would have done this earlier. I found some great beauties from Snippet & Ink. Maybe this will keep me on task about random things like colors, which apparently are important… (Our colors are pink, brown, and cream.)

IKEA!

So… less than ONE MONTH until IKEA opens in Orlando! I am super excited! I have already told Billy that we must make a trip on the 17th- the Saturday right after it’s grand opening! I have always wanted to live near one, which is one reason I wanted to move back to Virginia. Now [...]

Very nice.

Dad, Reena, and Anika left for India on Wednesday. Reena asked me if I wanted anything. I should have said I wanted cheap invitations! These are cool! (I especially love the first one!)

What Kind of Groom is He?

I, err, strangely took a quiz (a quiz?!?!) on the Knot (why was I even there?) to see what kind of groom I was with. I think I already knew before I was told.
Billy is:  Planner Extraordinaire
This guy is an organizational dream — attacking wedding issues like a calculus professor deconstructs factorials. He’s thoughtful without [...]

I like pie.

(from newsday.com)
So… my favorite new show of the fall television season is “Pushing Daisies.” Everything on the show looks so colorful and quirky- I just want to eat it all up like a piece of Ned’s yummy pie! Is it strange, then, that I’d want to kind of dress up like Ned and Chuck for [...]

(from the knot)
She’s hot.
I’m not.
I so want to look like this chica when I get married. (Guess I should start… working out…)

Say what, Ba?

A Little More on This Later…

… But while I am supposed to be writing my assignment for Development of Social Thought, I can’t stop thinking about the HONEYMOON! (Maybe it’s because I don’t want to be doing homework right now, and would rather be basking in the sun.)
Yeah, I know it’s a bit strange for me. I hadn’t originally wanted [...]

Again with the frills, or as I like to call them, swirls.

It’s a calm and rainy Saturday morning. I am up way too early, and I am also at my house for a change. Usually I am with Billy and his family. It is strange to be in one’s own house during the weekend in my case. Why is that? (Cos it’s much more fun than [...]

I thought I said no frills.

At the beginning of wedding planning, I was adamant about several things: no tulle, no lace, no beading, no FRILLS. Now, it appears that I have been beaten. I *almost* chose a dress with all of those forbidden things combined. Then I got flustered and went back to my initial minimalist design. It’s hard choosing [...]

Bonus Filipino Round!

Ok, I can’t help myself. Here’s a “You Know You’re Filipino If…” list. If you haven’t noticed, Billy and I are a mixed race couple. It’s strange saying that, because I’ve never really thought about it that way. It’s never been a problem, and I’m happy that we respect (most) of our difference. Music and [...]

Psst!

I found this list on Facebook, and I just had to post it here. Filipinos rock. (I sometimes wish I were more Filipino… or not.) (I edited the list to stuff that would apply to Billy and I.) (I do not cook.) (Sorry, Mom.) (And Grandpa.)
YOU MAY BE MARRIED TO A FILIPINA IF . . [...]

Even More Words for Love

Last night, I went through this very long post on Indie Bride about verses people used in their wedding. I couldn’t help but choose a few of my own! I love all of them, especially the last poem.

“How will I know when to get married or even if I should get married?”

Vows

I strangely told Billy the other day that I was having a difficult time coming up with my vows. I saw “License to Wed,” and do not want to be anxious like John Krasinski’s character. I don’t want to sound too corny, and most likely, Billy will upstage me. He usually is good at that. [...]

The Greater Good

Of course Billy and I are concerned about “the greater good.” We watched “Hot Fuzz.” We want our village to be Model Village of the Year. Oh, wait… nevermind. That’s not us, although I’d really like a miniature village in my backyard one day.
Anywhoo, recently we talked about donating a percentage of any monetary gifts [...]

Our horse and carriage.

Billy got a brand new car last Sunday! He is now the proud new driver of a “Bayou Blue” 2008 Yaris Liftback (Sport!). It may seem girly to most people, but I’ve reassured Billy that’s it’s an awesome car, and Americans have this issue with size. It’s very popular in Europe, and I think that’s [...]

A tad bit unnecessary.

I love “My Girl” because Macaulay Culkin is the bestest childhood friend ever… or at least since he proved himself to be so by going one-on-one with a swarm of bees. He lost, but Anna Chlumsky lived on. And I just thought I’d mention: she’s getting married.

London Calling*

Billy and I still have no idea where we would like to go on our honeymoon. Mix traveling and our strange tendencies, and it’s no wonder that we’ve not picked a place yet. Recently, we’ve thought of London. I’m a freak about anything from the UK. I have always wanted to run around on some [...]

Crash, boom, bang = no good.

A horrible, horrible thing happened a few days ago.
Billy got into a car accident.
*uber-uber-uber-eek*
I was more freaked out about it than he was, and I am so thankful to God that he is ALIVE. He wasn’t hurt at all. His Echo, however… well… An Echo will never make it against a Ford F-150.
