Church Wedding Talk

The usual Saturday morning.. music, coffee, bonding with my geek.. listening to Ikaw, I said, “let’s have a church wedding! This song is perfect for a church wedding!”

“I hope the church would agreed on playing Panata’t Pag-ibig.”

“That sounds romantic no? Walking down the aisle with Ikaw on the background and Panata’t Pag-ibig while saying our vows.. but wait! what should we write on our vows?”

>>sips coffee<<

“Ah! I knew it!”

Geek: Hangga’t pinagtitimpla mo ako ng kape, hindi kita iiwan

Me: Hangga’t nagpapatimpla ka sa akin ng kape, hindi kita iiwan

Not your ordinary vows eh? Yes, our love was founded in coffee.. kaya please lang, wag kayo huminto gumawa ng kape! haha

Sharing with you our “vow song”

How To Choose The Best Homecoming Dress According To Your Body Type

You’re jumping with excitement because of that Homecoming invitation, but the cold, hard truth dawns on you: YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR! Shopping for the perfect homecoming dress can sometimes be daunting, especially if you have a barely perfect figure. Arm yourself with the following knowledge on choosing an evening dress for your body type:

If you’re petite, stay away from those long ball gowns with full skirts. You don’t want to be overpowered by the dress. Look instead for a shorter dress which will show off your legs. Pair it off with stilettos for extra height.

On pear-shaped bodies, a dress with a fitted bodice and an A-line skirt helps minimize the size of the hips. A wide, metallic belt will help emphasize your small waist.

If you have a wide torso, you have an apple-shaped body, and should go for homecoming dresses with empire waists. This will take the focus away from your upper body.

What will look good on all body types is the classic wrap dress, which DressFirst has a lot to offer. It gives the illusion of a tiny waist, tapers the hips and emphasizes the bust.

That “Imported” Smell

He just got back from his trip abroad, we’re all happy and excited to see him, specially the third son who never stopped counting the days and number of sleeps. Last night, the third boy can’t even sleep, he said he’s too excited, so we end up watching Jack The Giant Slayer (too bad no popcorn this time).

You know what I love most when he comes home from his trip? The smell of his used clothes. It somehow gives me an idea of the place he had been to. If you are not keen on observing it, the smell of used clothes or anything that someone brought from their tip actually smells like the place they have bee to. Of all the places he has been, it’s his US trip that I always froward to. I love the US smell (or Canada or country with cold weather).

That’s one of the reason why I love online shopping, when the item arrives here, I can’t stop smelling that distinct “imported” smell (yes even nuts or bolts). Somehow, that smell brings me back to my childhood where my aunts would send us something from Canada. It has the same distinct smell and as my brother puts it, that smell is addicting (and online shopping too! haha)
