I said YES. :)

Bon jour mes amis! 

I have BIG NEWS. :) My R proposed to me last September 15, 2013 in a park near the Eiffel Tower. I felt like the most blessed girl in the world! Imagine, HE PROPOSED TO ME IN PARIS, voted as the most romantic city in the world! 

It was a very romantic evening in Paris indeed. The energy was unbelievable. It was around 11 PM when he nervously asked me his big question. The Eiffel Tower, with its pretty lights, was the perfect background for such a lovely proposal. Some Parisians started clapping and cheering us on when they saw us hugging each other after I, of course, said YES.:)

R and I in front of the Eiffel Tower, after he went down on one knee and asked me to marry him. 
Paris, France. September 15, 2013.

We are getting married next year, January 3, 2015 in the Manila Cathedral Basilica here in the Philippines. We were supposed to get married this June 27, 2014 but we opted to give way to my sister who is also set to marry her fiance this year. 

Now, we're very busy planning our wedding. We already have plans for our honeymoon too! Of course, part of the honeymoon itinerary will be PARIS. I just love going back to that place. 

Oh, and I will be in Paris this April 21 with my family. I never thought that I will be going back here often. I am so blessed. :)

Le bonheur! Lundi! (Happiness! Monday!)

I finished reading Pride and Prejudice last night. I loved it. I resolve to read more books with feel good themes and which will bring happiness in my life.

Next book: Persuasion by Jane Austen.

By the way, we just came from Boracay! I am so proud of our country. Boracay is a very picturesque, very enchanting and very beautiful island. Le Magnifique!

I hope I took some photos. But I did not bring a camera. Oh well, I'll be back there this October for R's friend's wedding. Woohooo!!!

Anyway, I still owe you my Europa stories. I am thinking of creating a photo journal. I must create time for it.

Here's some pics from our Europa 2013 trip. :)

 Notre Dame de Paris.

That's Nike! She's the goddess of victory. :) Louvre, Paris. 

La sante et bonheur pour tous! I just learned that phrase from our french colleagues when we went to Fougeres in Bretagne last April. :)

More pictures and stories soon. A bientot!

J'adore APRIL! :D

I have so many reasons for loving the month of APRIL:

1. April is my birthday month! I just celebrated my 29th birthday last Saturday! Oh it was one for the books. I loved it. Family, Rocky, food, the kids, friends, everything!
2. Summer month! Bring out the sunglasses, let's all wear floral, colorful outfits, let the fun begin!
3. I love the food during this season!
4. FAMILY VACATION YAAAY!

This month, we're going to PARIS. Yessss! The most romantic city in the world. I cannot wait. I am so excited!

Au revoir!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Time flew so fast! My last blog entry was August and now it's already January! SO much has been happening in my life lately and I am very, very, VERY GRATEFUL to God for my blessings!

- The world did not end! Wohhoooo! 2nd lease in life I should say. Now we can move on. Let's make some magic happen!
- My brief stint as CEO of our laundry business. That was an exhilarating, challenging, literally blood-sweat-and-tears kind of experience for me. I never knew that THAT kind of passion, high performance and drive can actually fuel someone. It made me feel so alive! I am alive! Now I can bring these new found CEO skills and attitude of mine to our family business and all my other businesses in the future.
- My relationship with my parents and siblings. My parents were there for me during a tumultuous time in the last quarter of 2012. They're my best friends, cheerleaders, anchor for support, lahat na!
-My relationship with my future husband. What we went through made us stronger than ever, and more close to God. We pray the rosary together and we talk to God together. We are doing the Discovery Weekend this February 2013 and I am soo excited!

To be continued...

Feel good Friday. :)

 

Miranda Kerr looks so divine in this dress. I love the sunglasses and the bag too! I will be a hot mom like her when I grow up. Haha! :)

On a more serious note: THIS IS IT! No holding back. LET GO AND LET GOD. :)

Live!

Yes I will take the risk! :)

Adventure Time!

Woohooooo I got accepted to teach Marketing 102 this second semester in my alma mater! I'm sooo excited!

Oh yes I also got a lot of feedback re my 10minutes of shining moment presentation. I have a lot of reading and researching to do.

I'm excited and elated nonetheless! Dream come true! Bucket list item CHECKED!

Thank YOU Lord for the blessing! Big game!!!
