Newfound Happiness

My weekend is chaotic. It was a busy and I couldnt keep up with everything needed to be done. Yesterday I dragged Kylee to attend Angelin's 8th Birthday party. Beamer followed after and then he dropped me off to my fashion haven, Marshalls!

This particular Marshall opened 21st in Swansea.

Beamer decided to go to the nearby driving range while I was literally struck by my ADHD. When he fetched me he was drenched with sweat bcs it was really humid outside and the first thing he said was: "All the girls are happy here." He stated that this was literally the first time he saw all girls smiling at each other even if they dont know each other. I died of laughter!

I got myself a new Betseyville pouch by Betsey Johnson, a Hollywood tape, Beverly Hills Polo Spray for Beamer and stationery. I am happy! I was obsessed with a Jessica Simpson sandals and  Coach sunglasses though. Maybe next time.

I have a necktie for Fatboy too! He can wear it on my wedding.

Life is getting better. I am even inspired to clean my kitchen. Hehehe!

On my recollection, there was never a battle half-won. Even the minutest of details is a battle which needed to be won. Sometimes, battles are left in a corner but someone should and must emerge a winner.

I need not reiterate my moments in this workplace but I am happy for the experience it brought me. At one point, I have met new friends and inevitably, new enemies. But one thing for sure, I realized that at one point or another, people stab you in all the places necessary.

As BB puts it, BITTER, peanut bitter!

Whatever! 

Yesterday was mayhem. I was beyond exhaustion. I was not on my prime while shopping. I bought a cute GAP skirt, and that was the highlight.

I am still in search of the perfect Farm Wedding Dress. Wish me luck!

A Sun-Shiny Day

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Yesterday I had a "discussion" with the hubster. I apologize if I cant reiterate the content because of personal reasons. That, or this an open BLOG therefore peeps can actually access it at any given time. Hehehe!

Today it will be another busy day. I have to make some Farm Wedding decors and do some chores. We also need to visit David's Bridal so I can actually look at some wedding gowns. Hey, I'm not at all looking for a fab dress, I am actually for once going with the theme. Hehehe!

I wanted a simple white or ivory gown. Something which would compliment my figure. 

After which we might go to the Pearce's crib because they invited us for a pool party. I know, I know...I wont probably be swimming but I guess the hubster wanted to see his friends and Kylee (my foster kid) would like to flaunt her new Dora swimsuit.

Just in case I don't blog this weekend: 

On the morrow I will be out shopping. I might look for my wedding shoes too.

On Sunday, we will be attending Angelin's birthday bash. Which reminds me, I have to give the specification of the dress to her mom, Mars.

The unseen mover of all has a funny way of intervening with our plans but I am not perturbed. I know everything happens for a reason.

Drizzle is Finally Over

This is by far my favorite wedding photo. Phiay Carino took this photo and captured the moment.

Yesterday, Beamer and I went to Francis Farm:

I am just elated that the drizzle is finally over.

We'll probably be coming back there soon to measure the tables as I wanted to put my own tablecloth in there with some simple decors on top. The benches are very farm-y and I'm just pleased. Robyn, the Events Coordinator was very helpful and I am just glad to know that they are flexible.

More details on my secret blog for the Farm Wedding.

Sigh! Now I can start doing my decors again.

The moral of my story: "Everything happens for a reason."

A Drizzle in the Farm

Beamer & I were on crossroads last week because of a slight drizzle on our Farm Wedding. It both threw us and left me speechless. Well, those who knew me would never doubt I can pull this out. And those who think they are stepping on me doesn't really realize that they're up for a surprise.

Anyway, since the drizzle I was thinking whether I should wear a white wedding dress or yellow. Both my lil' sis & Sissy, opted I wear white. Now, the truth is, I am sort of thinking practically. But hey! We only live once, right?

On the morrow, Beamer & I will be negotiating with a wedding vendor (more details are revealed on my secret blog) which will make or break the event. I hope everything comes to its place, then I can breath and start stressing with something else. I hope that some people will be more of an ally rather than kibitzers.

As a word from my lil' sister: "How dare you doubt my powers, you puny insect!"

Life in PINK

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
(My favorite quote from Nelson Mandela)

Today (just recently) before Beamer left for work he said: If you go to the store please dont wear sexy clothes. I thought the hubster was not the jelly-belly type. Hehehe!

Of course when I go to the store (which is my exercise) to get some unnecessary stuff (the essentials are done in Walmart etc) or mail letters, I wear shorts and a shirt. And I dont think of it as sexy clothes. When I was in my teens, I was never sexy. I have literally no boobs and you can easily  mistake me as a boy. But when I hit the 20's I started growing them and now I felt so conscious with it. Moral of the story: Be careful what you wish for. Hehehe!

As I am a mood dressing shoe-paholic, I have to admit that there are times I dress down just so others can flaunt theirs. Sometimes I feel that I don't have to upstage the host and that bugs me. I am done playing nice! This is my time to shine!

NB: My Farm wedding plans became a nightmare but I am positive that we will overcome this obstacle.

 I can. I will. I believe.

Bateux Dubai Cruise

I remembered this day like it was yesterday. Beamer & I explored the city with Amor. Then we realized that traffic is too bad and we might be left out by the cruise. We were running like mad people in the street, in the hotel only to realize that we were half an hour early. I didn't put make up and even bothered to fix my hair. 

Yesterday was mayhem. We woke up early and then had breakfast. We headed to Cranston for my 11am BIOMETRICS appointment and then went to look at some vintage shop for coffee tables. Have I mentioned I found one vintage piece which is really really nice but really really pricey? Well, if I return there next week and its still there then its meant to be.

And then I bought a Martha Stewart Ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket. We headed home and had lunch and I slept for awhile. By 3:30pm we went to pick up my medicine refill and then met with Ron (The Realtor) back in Cranston.

We went to see 3 houses. 1st one is a crampy house. Beamer saw a big shell and took it and attempted to put it in his ears. A baby snake came out and we were all freaked out. Well, especially me. Ron stated it was a garden snake. I went bananas!

The 2nd house looks like a decent house. It has 2 rooms, 1 bath, a dining and a living room. It has a small backyard and the basement is quite big. I think we can put up another room (probably a guest room) in there because it has a nice space. Surprisingly, I like it. Its not entirely my style but the neighborhood is great.

The 3rd one looks like a party place. It has a good backyard but again, it has molds. I'd rather not enter. 

Today, Beamer will try to fix a problem (which will be mentioned on my secret blog) with regards to the wedding.

The other night, I was freaking out and Sissy called me. I was like ballistic. My mother told me I am becoming a nutcase. Sugar said I AM a NUTCASE. And Sissy, just telling me to chill. On the other hand, I should change my Blog title to BRIDEZILLA.
