Biyahe ni Drew & Iya

(Belated) Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)

How was the hearts day for you? I hope that attached or unattached, you were able to celebrate the day with your loved ones <3

In my previous post, I posted a song from the Drew and Iya wedding video and said that I will note my favorite lines from their wedding vows on my next post. If you haven't seen the video yet, here it is. Then scroll down for some snippets from their wedding vows that really took the awwww-level several notches higher:





Freeeeeeeeeeee!
Drew: "Super energetic host, Buwis-buhay dancer, world class performer, they'll see, theyll see... But know this, on this journey I will hold your hand, I will always be there. Don't be afraid to follow your dreams and all the sacrifices I will bear..."

Drew: "Honey, I promise to give you the freedom to be the successful girl that you are destined to be."

Iya: "Today marks the start of what I know will be a happier life with you, a life of freedom and adventure."

They mentioned freedom quite a few times in their vows which is interesting, because some view marriage to be all ball-and-chains that stifle two people from doing what they want in life. But these two mentioned this word a few times, maybe because as much as being in a relationship entails adjustments and constant give-and-take, it should really be more freeing for two individuals.

It's a place and a season in your life when you grow to be more comfortable and more open with your vulnerabilities. Someone is witnessing you and your life on a daily basis, and as scary as that may be at first, there should be an amazing level of comfort and intimacy to go with that -- the assurance that someone will be there for you no matter what.

Through the Years (sing with me now..)
Iya: "We've been waiting for this hon, and we made it through 9 wonderful years. It's ridiculous, I love you so much."

9 years. Wow. I mean, they saw each other through milestones and still, they were there for each other. They saw each other through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, and still, they made it through!

There is so much history that could help with the foundation of their married lives now. Just wow. Did I already say wow? Last na, WOW.

The G-Factor
Iya: "Count on me to show you what more we can be with God's love and His blessings, you know He is a good God but He has blessed us with each other. We've been waiting for this hon, we're here na!"

And of course, the most solid foundation that anyone could build in a marriage is to build it where God is at the center. :)

So there! Congrats to them both! :) #feelingfriend

So You Had a Bad Day

Last Friday, I caught myself getting irritated by the second as I get one bad update after the next at work - confirming either low performance for the month or delay in our campaign activities. I just wanted nothing more but to call it a day and go home...  But since that wasn't an option, I just watched a movie (yup on my own :P) and stuffed my mouth with Taters potato chips (cheese flavor!) and Jamaican pattie (cheesy beef!) later that afternoon. Yup, that made me feel a little better after! We all go through this kind of day, and so soon after ringing in the new year with our hopes and goals too!  Tsktsk! So as I dragged myself to take on the hours that day, I knew that I had to snap out of it and be wary, lest I find myself stuck in the limbo of the daily activities.

Japan: Lit Gardens & Shrines in Kyoto + Japan Travel Tips

On our 3rd day, we went to Kyoto! We bought a one-day Keihan railway pass since Kyoto is about an hour away from Osaka. There are different ways to get to Kyoto but the cheapest and fastest is by train. Taxis are very expensive in Japan! Buses and trains are just about the same price so you can plot your way to this famous spot either way. Fushimi Inari Shrine

Getting Beach-Ready with Wink!

Beach! That is what my mind seems to be saying these days, and on Friday we will be flying to a much-loved beach in Visayas (more about that soon). Finally! The sun and the seas! :D But before we don our swimwear and flip-flops, my friend and I made sure to get our skin beach-ready first. So just last Saturday, we went to Wink Laser & Wax Studio to get our waxing fix. We both have had experience in waxing, shaving and plucking so I think it was a great way to try what Wink has to offer differently in the market. Because we already have something to compare it with, we hope to bring something that will break it down into specifics, not just with the service but with the products and the  ambiance  as well. Hygiene is number 1 One thing worth remembering about Wink is its priority on cleanliness. Holly Chang, the young entrepreneur behind this budding business, is a self-proclaimed OC.
