Everything. Just doubled
Yikes! I haven't blogged for 2 weeks now? What's up with that man.
If I were in school now, this wouldn't be happening. I even forgot our anniversary this year (sorry hon!). Major boo boo. I didn't believe it myself, when the bf gently reminded me after work one night, but had mere seconds to ponder the issue before I passed out in bed.
In my defense, we've been moving about a lot these past weeks. Casey and Merlin's wedding was a lovely event that took place in Jakarta. Congrats darlings! And last weekend was all lil sis + family time. I can't believe the lil un is off to college. They grow up so fast don't they? Next weekend is the littlest sis' birthday.
Can you see me running around in circles now?
I actually have a lot to announce, though most have to be kept on the down low *jittery with excitement* So for now, you'll just have to enjoy Casey and Merlin's wedding shots. They're super cute :) More deets here.

More than I could ask for
Sitting on a plane, holding hands.
Our iPods playing different tunes.
Better than Ezra's "A Lifetime" came on.
I remember this song.
When did I hear it last?
It was for a TVC script.
For COM201?
One of my favorites.
Soundtrack for a Fight Against Teenage Suicide Awareness script.
Don't remember much of what I wrote but...
The scene began at a dining table of fighting parents.
Zoom in to a teenage boy's jaded face.
The sounds melt away slowly, presumably drowned by his thoughts.
Cut to football field.
Teen wanders aimlessly along the side.
Football hits him in the head.
Hard.
Laughter is heard.
Cut to scene of teen carrying his baby sister, a small smile on his face.
Sunlight on their cheeks.
He whispered quietly in her ear, "Goodbye little one."
Scene blacks out.
CTA message appears.
VO goes: Don't be too late.
Boy did I love that class.
It was the same class where I met Livie.
Livie, my partner in crime during late night talks and dining hall meals.
Boba tea and outlet shopping.
Heels and miniskirts.
In the snow.
Dear Livie who introduced me to the bf then.
The bf who is now the love of my life.
I have a lot to thank for.
Family. Friends. Love. Career. Travels. Life.
Love.
It's all very real.

A Macarune weekend
Mmmmm... How I love the smell of butter, sugar and vanilla in the kitchen. If I could live in a gingerbread house I would :)
Treats of the day:
And because I have some time to spare before dinner, here's a little collage on "How-(I-like)-to-eat-a-macaron":
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

A heavenly silver themed event
After almost 15 years of being an item, 3 years since the first proposal in Maldives, 2 weeks of preparation, probably 6 hours of shopping for the right dress(es), 1 ROM and 1 glittery cocktail reception, it finally dawned on us that the long-awaited union of my big sister Vivienne and Danny is for real. Like for real.
I'm not one for toasts and super affectionate speeches during major events (I'm usually the one giggling inappropriately in the background) but it's important this time because it's the first in our family of 4 (giggly) sisters.
So here's a big congratulations to my dear sis and Danny: I wish you both a happy new beginning full of love and excitement, of joy and understanding, and of much togetherness forever after. Love you both!
The beautiful couple at the ROM
Rings, bouquet and pens in hand
Both dads as witnesses
All signed and good, and MARRIED!
I love this photo. My dad was beaming all day long, it was contagious
Family shot. Though because the bf took this one, he wasn't it it :( We'll have to wait for the photos from Viv's friend Kid @his Studio
The Hilton Catering crew and wedding planner Lan doing their thing
A garbage bin full of roses is like art to me :)
There were creamy white roses, hydrangeas, cala lilies and more white flowers that bloom in the night
Mom, sis and me
It rained when we arrived at the reception...
We helped set up the favors
Dad putting his shorthand to good use
The guest book
...and scented candle favors
The spread
The bubbly
The cake
The floral arrangements
The bride
The moms
The Addam's Family (??!)
The party. Can you spot the bride and groom?
Viv and Danny entertaining guests who were all dressed in white and silver
Cousin Fay doing Viv's hair
Chris playing with the lil' munchkin from Monster's Inc.
Isn't the resemblance uncanny? She even sounds like the cartoon
Cousin Fay, who is due for a Leo baby next month
Cousin Vilmos bringing out the homemade treats: lavender and vanilla bean macarons
Silly billies whom I adore
Dad and the bf having a heart-to-heart
A fallen starLove you sis! Hope you have a good rest after all that wedding craziness :)
