an added whimsy

gotta love the lace cuffs and diamond buttons on the sleeves!!!

Floats a floating

my fave out of the many! who can resist lil cutie kids on a carousel float!

* see that upturned purple umbrella? that's for catching the candies being thrown from the floats! Sometimes even coins!!!! must have hurt like hell but these people rush to the blessings (in any form)

being all gangsta!

my hubby grew up playing in these small streets at the back of their house! couldn't resist taking a photo against the street arts!

Now that I have Carlos I keep saying I just love seeing the world through his eyes!!!

WHOA!

wedding photos

We got the official wedding photos from PAT DY PHOTOGRAPHY already! all 1,364 of them!!! That number must be narrowed down to 150 for our official album - what a daunting task but hubby seems to be proving himself worthy and looking through the pics with me already!

Here are some of my faves from the bunch!

(bear with me most of them are of myself hihi)

GETTING READY

cinderella shoes

I was dead set to get the Louboutins SJP was wearing in the opening scene of Sex and the City 2 (not in gold though)no size for me! BOO!!! BUT no tears not only does this cost a fraction
of the price but also hell comfy tooI bet I died walking on those towering heels. There were lots of rough road walking going on around our church and stiff stairs i had to climb

Forever and Ever

when my sister got married she had like 4 different perfumes with

her since she is such an addict!!! BUT me it was only this! the smell is light and airy (I am actually on my 2nd bottle already)! Even the name is perfect!!! and on the bottle cap (sadly its not shown) is CD for Christian Dior - and also our initials =)

Hair and Make-UP was done by Lourd Ramos!

Just look at the detailed structured on the back but in front it

was very lightly pulled up!Don't even need to say anything about the make-up!!! Warned him I was such a crier (and hell did I cry) BUT no touch ups needed! =))

Take a Seat

Chair souvenirs for our lady guests. This doubles as a jewelry box! The one shown here is my fave design. We had 7 =)

touch down

The groom is just as vain as I am. He bought these shoes way before I got mine

cuffed

for the cuff links we decided on something simple and just had it engraved. YES by now you guys know that that is our initials hehe

BRIDE*GROOM

dad and son

Carlos was in such a sulky mood wondering why he was not part of everything that's going on! Good thing they were still able to get him to pose

love the treatment of the photo here looked like dawn =)

SUPPORT SYSTEM

felt like family

got all teary eyed when i saw them approaching me! Didn't really think they would make it!

My ladies!!!

beware: tears a pouring

its all in the detail

oh those lil boys

captured moment!

my fave from it all see that JOY! =)

more joy

then off to the next

much love

tweed rock

I have been wanting to wear this tweed jacket I got from this Korean store in Hankow road, Hong Kong. Good thing the weather proves to be on my side and permits this and even a half leather leggings to match. We were off to see a movie anyway so i expected some needed barrier from the chills. Though the hubby was yet again clucking his tongue at the thought - Wanted to be all rock today so - so what.

top: forever 21 shoes: soule phenomenon leggings: topshop bag: zara

We decided to watch SEASON OF THE WITCH against LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS. A surprise since I usually run to romantic comedies automatically. But for some reason really didn't feel the pull towards Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal (for those who have seen the movie let me know how it is and feel free to make me feel otherwise). So instead we were set for the Crusades,the black plague and witch hunting! Came out from the movie all exhausted!!! Didn't think it would be SCARY as sh*t!!! BUT all in all it was actually good,was glued to the screen despite the shocking scary scenes!!!

anyhoo on a much lighter note. i got home to my son telling me to check out artzooka.com! (he is just 3 people) apparently it was announced after the show. Anyway i was all surprised but gladly obliged. i do try my best to indulge the artistic side of him as much and as often as i could. so I Checked out the cool art projects we can do. The artworks are meant for a much older age group but was able to find something simple enough for THE BOTH OF US since i am hopeless. So tom. we will be trying this CD curtain thingy that we will hang in his room window! its a nice way to do something about his DVDs too that are all scratched up and just waiting to be thrown out (but he wouldn't allow us to)! I HOPE it turns out well enough for me to show you guys the finished project! Do wish me luck!

much love!!!
