Yes, you guessed it right. That title is not referring to me at all haha. My birthday is not until next year and my marriage is not until I become a “normal” woman ready for some domesticated genes. And of course, not until our relationship reaches that stage!
My close high school friend’s having a civil wedding next week! Her fiancé who’s based in the US arrived last week to help her prepare for the church wedding next January. They’ve been attending seminars left and right and they even went to a 3-day Couples Retreat! Time really flies and I’m still freaked out because she’s tying the knot and migrating SOON! It’s really amazing what love can do.
I was teasing her if she’s really sure about this, and I reminded her not to forget her ‘make a difference in the world’ goal since we were in school. She’s one of the few people who would really go out of their way to help the poor or exert effort for a cause. That’s why with her upcoming marriage, I started to think that the endangered world’s rescuers will be down by one. But her reply made me think otherwise,
“Di na ko nag-iisa sa mga pangarap na yun :-)”
Aawww… I never thought of it that way! Good luck my friend, I’m so happy for you! :-)
Last weekend, I harassed myself with a self-imposed project and exhausted some of the stagnant craft skills I have left. This is also my way of not spending too much for a wonderful gift yet still be able to send the message.
And so, I made Jenie's lamp:
For my birthday boy:
And gave it to him after having our most expensive dinner to date at Italianni’s:
After 24 hours together, 4 surprise gifts and zero fights, he told me it was the happiest birthday celebration he had in 25 years! That’s definitely worth 10 hours of sweat and (almost) tears after all.
Sheng ri kuai le, wo de nan peng you! Wo ai ni :-)
