Birthday Blog

OMG! I missed a birthday blog this year. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Anyway, think it's still August. :)

I'm 31!!! My gosh! And yes, despite my not-so-baby fats, I FEEL FAB. I almost always do. I don't when I'm cooking Crispy Pata and the oil is splattering explosively on me and I get burns which turn into scars and I smell fried. Anyway, I get my reward after so I don't mind. Briane doesn't mind either. He still kisses me even when I look like the Crispy Pata itself. I hope he doesn't change. hehe..

There's a huge difference between being 29 and being 30. Funny because I didn't feel the same when
I was 28 and then when I turned 29. I guess it's the change of decade. Right now, I'm much more in a hurry. There's a lot of things I want to do with just very little time. I want to travel with Briane but that'd mean saving, which would take time. At the same time I want to have a kid because I'm 31 and my chance is getting slimmer by the minute. And we all know THAT needs the grandest preparation. Tsk. AAAHHHHHHH! PRESSURE!!!

Yes, I'm ready to be a mother.
I want to be a mother.
I think I will be a great mother.

So in conclusion: THE EARLY 30s ARE A BITCH!

Still, just like always, I don't have the right to whine. I'm probablyl one of the most blessed people in the world (Thank you God, You are the greatest). I am just being human. I feel the pressure. And I hate it. I guess, it's better than being numb and oblivious.

So in celebration of what could be the most stressful year of my life, here's a picture of my very stressed self:

mwuahahahahaha!

'Til my next birthday! xxx

It's Our First Anniversary!

Hello everyone! What's up? :0

This month, Briane and I celebrated our first year anniversary. People say, "time flies when you're having fun". It's true! I feel like we just laughed (and ate!) our way through our relationship. No kidding. I mean, we've had bad days, LQs, dramas, but at the end of it all, we just laughed (and then ate).

Briane is a natural comic and he said that one of his missions in life is to make me laugh. Exactly how you get a girl! ;) I, on the other hand.. Well, you know!



So, in between transferring to a new account, 2 jobless situations, and 2 hospitalizations, here we are, laughing (and eating!)

Anyway, I'd like to share with you pics from our anniv. I know.. "yawn", right? Well, it's a big deal for me because it's my first time to celebrate an anniversary with the person I'm in a relationship with.  The only other time was a long distance relationship, which really sucked then. Ok, so THAT, plus, you'll see that I am now bigger, rounder, fatter! Maybe, when you're happy you don't care about your figure anymore? NO. I am happy but I do still care about my figure AND health -- all the more now! It's just.. the party invites! Of course I can't say no - it's rude!

Ok, so here -- we had lunch at Tokyo Table. Food was really good except the sushis and sashimis and makis. Ironic that what's supposed to be their specialty isn't their best. I love jap food, and we chose to be there for that reason so it's kind of dissapointing for me. But all's well that ends well. The unlimited dessert! Oh...

who ate more??? ;)

we had to ask the waitress (who's very nice, btw), right?

Briane ate them all! I swear!

the resto. not a great pic quality - this is from a phone cam.

where's my wasabi???

ask me how many times did Briane go for another glass??? ASK ME! hehe..

i had to take a pic with the warrior

Briane's Miley Cyrus look! hahahahhahahaha

full and happier!

Then we headed to Mr. A, at Lower Busay to "chill". It's one of my favorite places in Cebu. The view's just awesome. Their coffee mixes and cakes are not bad as well. Well, too sweet for Briane's taste. We've been there a few times but for that night, we had beers and Crispy Pata. If you wanna go there, bring jackets as it gets cold at night.

we were their first guests!

and you have this for free

dating tip 1: put your phone down! haha

look what we did.....

look what HE did! hahahaha

I love the flavored beer (lemon). Briane went light - he has to drive

we couldn't grin more!

"The truth is sometimes things aren't exactly what you always imagined... they're even better!" One of my faves from the movie What A Girl Wants. I have always imagined what it's like to find someone you can really have fun with, and at the same time, you can really trust during the hard days.. and now, it's all happening.. and it's better! I am one very lucky woman!

Lastly, I want to share what Briane has to say..

Here's to forever! ♥♥♥

Thanks for reading you guys! And thank you for all your messages! And as you can see, I'm ok. And if I'm not, you'd know. I just don't have much time for blogging anymore. But this is hopefully a start.
