Best Kind of Friendship

Just weeks before my best friend, Ja, is to walk down the aisle, I thought I'd invite her for a quick lunch for our BFF brownie points. It was supposed to be a casual cook-in, because.. and this next statement will surprise you as much as me: I miss cooking! Or at least whipping up something edible, lol!

Maybe more about that rekindled frustration on cooking on my next posts, but for today, allow me to just say a piece about the best kind of friendship :)

The best kind of friendships are:

the ones that grow with you -- who had been with you through the bawling-your-eyes-out times to celebrating jump-for-joy moments
those that saw you with your pigtails on and teenage-braces years
those that give you encouraging letters-- from hand drawn ones, to birthday cards, to text messages and emails
those that don't require you to talk to each other every day to make you feel that you're close
...but when you do get to talk to each other, it feels like nothing has changed, and you can still feel like your old self
those that live on despite the widening distance and different time zones
those who pushes you to be better
those that draw you closer to God by speaking the truth, even though the truth hurts sometimes
those where silences are not awkward, but comfortable
those that make you feel braver with life because you just know that they're there to stay no matter what

If you have the kind of friendship that I am describing above then you're super blessed! I know I am! So to my best friend of 20 years (yep it has been that loooong!) you're going to be a great wife and mom because you have such excellent faith and love for the Lord. And thanks for rubbing off on me in a good way. ;)

I love you to bits!

Bridal Shower Ideas

Hey pretty ladies! Throwing a bridal shower for your dear friend soon? Here are some ideas that you may want to explore :)

La Creperie Boheme: Where Sweet & Savory Meet

When I came in La Creperie Boheme to have my brunch fix two Saturdays ago, I was quick to smile at the table of yuppies who smiled at my direction. I thought they were friends with Christine, the co-owner of this lovely resto, so I armed myself with an easy smile that seemed a little awkward at first, but was nonetheless sincere. That was the first sign that this was going to be a different-sort of dining experience. :)

A Day with a Make Up Artist

You may see me as a kikay girl, but I am practically clueless as far as make up is concerned. I have always been fascinated with people who can do eye make up. How I wish I could do those smokey eyes without looking like raccoon and without finishing off all the dark-colored eye shadows. So lo and behold, a few weeks ago, I was able to watch how make up artists spring into action as they take out their palettes to create a masterpiece with the face as their canvas. And I kid you not, they seriously have palettes--like painter-kind of palettes :)

Celebrate joy!
