Happy Anniversary, Y and Pau!
I was at their wedding last year, July 23, 2009. It was a day after my birthday.
I took photos.
And my girlfriends kept harping on me to post them. I never did.
Until today. 🙂
Here’s some of them:

No Network Detected
My PC is not connecting to the Internet, or to any network for that matter. The Network adapters are not being recognized at all. 🙁 The boyfriend already tried working on it, but he doesn’t have all day, so he gave up an hour or so later.
It’s probably a virus that caused the problem. 🙁 I swear, everytime the boyfriend goes heavy on his downloads, something happens to my PC. Wahaha. Of course he won’t admit to that. Officially, he’s blaming it on Windows 7.
I can still use the PC, but it will remain offline. Since what I need done has to be done online, I’m here stuck again on this small red notebook.
Hay.
I want an iPad. Saw these cute iPad cases at the bazaar at work earlier. There were other nice items there too, like the music player. It runs on rechargeable battery, is very small it fits in your pocket. You plug in an SD card and it’ll play your music. Really loud too. Haha.
Maybe Alfred will get me an iPad as one of our five (or ten) meaningful gifts to each other on our wedding day. I know he’d love to get an LCD HDTV. C’mon! I said meaningful gifts, not expensive! 🙂
The only thing I bought from the bazaar today though was a necklace with this camera pendant, and a pair of G-clef earrings. I’ll show them off once the PC gets connected again.
My good friend Mayeen’s big date at the altar is happening tomorrow. My dress is back from the cleaners, I got shoes to match (pray I don’t slip or trip!). The only thing I gotta think about is how to get to the reception from the church; and how to tame my hair! Haha 🙂 My other girlfriends are meeting up at Arianne’s house to get ready and head to church together.
Anyway… this blog post is starting to look like expanded tweets rather than a decent real post. Oh well.
Birthday Girl!
Thank you, it is a happy birthday 🙂
Granted, there are some things I wished were different, but there’s more that I wouldn’t change.
Like my family. And just being surrounded by people who love you and genuinely care about you. People who, when they greet ‘happy birthday,’ only have the fondest memories of you and truly wish you well. It’s family, by blood and by association.
Yep, even family at work, in and around FB, Twitterverse, and blog land. 🙂
Lord, thank you for all these blessed years. I know that you give us only what we deserve. There is something I am praying for, and it is for all the right reasons, if you hear me on those I’ll be the happiest trooper. Amen.
Sana hindi mawindang si Lord sa mga pinagdadasal ko. 🙂
Meanwhile…
For those wondering how photos from the S Phone looks like, here are a few samples taken Friday last week:
My Friday night baon.
Mirror shot. new hair for me! 🙂
Choco treats. Cheater. 🙂
That’s the biggest I could display them before they get pixellated. So, I’m not really very happy with the camera but it’s okay, I bring my Deena with me all the time anyway (most of the time). I still love my|Phone S Phone. Wala ka sa phone ko! lol 🙂 Although I think the new tag line is: My phone is sexy! 😉
Engagement Party?
When can you say that a couple is engaged? Take me and the boyfriend for example. There was no formal proposal of marriage. He didn’t ask me if I would marry him, and he hasn’t given me an engagement ring. But we both know that we will marry each other, and in fact, we have already started planning for it to happen next year.
Are we engaged then? Instead of calling him the boyfriend, should I now be calling him the fiance? Betrothed? Haha.
Do you know anyone in the Philippines who actually threw an engagement party? None of my friends or cousins did. It’s not uso here. I guess even ‘proposing’ and the giving of bejeweled engagement rings have also been just a recent phenomenon, probably only started happening in the country in the past twenty years or so. Diba? Do your parents have an engagement ring? Mine don’t. I don’t even see their wedding bands, lol.
It would probably be nice to have someone throw us an engagement party. I could just imagine the wonderful engagement gifts we could get! haha. 🙂 Those Lady Gaga earbuds would look so nice with my S phone. Really. 🙂 Wait, I don’t need an engagement party to ask for gifts, my birthday’s coming up in a few days! Weeee!
Anyhoo… I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. I woke up this morning after a very long (take 15 hours!) sleep, but I didn’t feel rested at all. It hurts to swallow and my head feels a bit heavy. Hay. I shoulda been up at 5am to walk with my dad, woke up at 10:00am instead. My dad was long gone and was already at work. 🙁
Ohwell. I’ve got other blogs to update, and photos to process. 🙂
My|Phone S-Phone
After only two to three months with my first Qwerty phone from my|Phone, I sold it to get another one. This one, a super girly version:
I love it. It’s cute and very small. It has Swarovski Zirconia for the buttons and the interface is loads better than the other myPhone handsets. I’m still getting myself familiarized with the features though. I swear to stick with this one for at least the next 12 months. Not because it’s expensive (because it’s really not), but because I really shouldn’t be spending like crazy as I’ve been doing this whole month! 🙂
This photo was taken while we were having a break at Iceberg’s. Diet killer!
Oh, don’t worry about me! I haven’t fallen off the South Beach Diet wagon yet 🙂 This huge serving of mango split (no bananas, but generous with mangoes) was what the boyfriend had. I was perfectly happy with my sugar-free chocolate cashew scoops:
I have to be honest though, I didn’t like it so much 🙁 Oh well. One can’t have it all.
