I was tapped by Sherwin and Olive as an unofficial photographer for their wedding. Unfortunately, Gino and I arrived super late at the church ceremony at Mary the Queen Parish in Greenhills, San Juan. And so I missed my friend's bridal walk. But I captured their first kiss as Mr. and Mrs. Coronado!
I didn't know it would be so fun taking pictures at a wedding. And imagine this --- I was in my 3-inch heels wearing this killer dress but I was up and about roaming around the church capturing the lovely scenes. And when Olive tried to fix the trail of her gown, I knew I had to take a snap shot of it!
Again, wishing you blissful moments together Sherwin and Olive! Blogmates, you may view some of the photos I took HERE.
You read it right. This blog turns 2 years old today! I have been a deliquent blogger several times by neglecting this little corner of mine. But after all the lethargic and sluggish days, my blog has survived! So here's a simple scrap with a 2-layered cake to announce to the blogosphere that it's a day to celebrate.
Credit for this little birthday announcement I made goes to: Numb Bumm for the 2-layered cake embellishment and Nicole for the paper from her One Day I'll Fly Away kit.
My blog wishes more blogging years together. More creatively crafted digital scrapbooks. More well-composed photos. More useful freebies. And more spirited blog hopping and blog link exchanges! Cheers blogmates!
I was told to go to Kopiroti to give support to a friend's aching heart. It sounded urgent. I felt a rush of emotions as I hurriedly went to the coffee shop, worried to death what caused my friend's bitter-sweet situation. But what welcomed me wasn't a gloomy setting. Instead, I found a Kopiroti surprise birthday party, conspired by my Reedley friends and my dear husband!
Before I could even step out of the car, the sight of printed-out photos of me posted on the facade of the coffee shop made me teary-eyed! Knowing the cheap eyeliner I was wearing would smudge my look, I kept my composure and swallowed hard. Out of pure amazement, I pulled the hair of my 2 buddies, dumbfounded at how they connived in preparing the surprise party for me. I had no clue, whatsoever, they were cooking up something. They were all, my husband included, compelling actors and actresses!
That Kopiroti party was just one of the many surprises handed out to me. The surprises vary in logistics and the people involved. But they all carry the same intention --- to affirm the significance of my existence in my circle of friends and loved one's lives.
Time runs so fast when you're having a blast. Another year older. Another year wiser. Another year happier. To everyone who shared their time by greeting me on my birthday, I am heartily thanking all of you!
