my favorite picture (with stuff comin out of chris' mouth)

i look pretty pale in this picture

aww. eric and us. =( still so sad.

they're still pretty normal here. starting to get weird.

yup. weird.

i'm relieved. as beautiful as i think TPC is, our church still means the most to us after all. i usually don't like to say this, but after everything we've done to try and have our wedding at TPC, it seems it just wasn't meant to be. now at least we know we are definitely getting married on 6/16/07. =)

bess is right. i too have to remind myself of the most important thing.

done:
wedding dress
bm dresses

next tasks:
dj
flowers
cake

i'm finally done here in DC. in a way, i'll miss it. it was my home for 3 weeks...

i racked up like a million marriott points!! by the end of the year, i will have my GOLD MEMBERSHIP. that means free upgrades for our honeymoon. =)

50 nights in just half a year. can you believe it?!

________

vacation monday and tuesday. will enjoy every minute of it, by studying for my cpa exam. (no sarcasm)

________

anna, we miss you.

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.

Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

i searched the online thesaurus for 10 minutes for a word to best describe how i feel. i think i feel... melancholy? no, not quite.

i try to remember... and it seems so... very... distant.

has it become merely a distant memory?



currently listening to: cinema paradiso

today during lunch i made trips to stores around the block in search for my FMIL's birthday gift.

i was very impressed with myself for the quick nonchalant response i gave when when the guy at Gucci quoted me a price of $730 for a small purse that i estimated would be $300, max. i didn't gasp, i didn't widen my eyes... i nodded naturally and put the bag down with a look that said i don't like the design. =)

at tiffanys, i came across the most beautiful necklace that the sales guy honestly admitted he wouldn't mind selling to me but probably isn't in my price range. when i gave him the "try me" look, he kindly told me it was in the thousands. i mean, it had a few specks of diamond, but thousands!!

so it took me awhile, but i finally found a gift that i'm really excited to give her. =)

i am officially sick of caramel macchiato. i thought this day would never come but then again, i thought the day that i hate panera bread would never come either. these are two things that i thought i could eat/drink every single day and be happy.

during last busy season, my team had panera bread every other day, and i've been drinking a grande skim caramel macchiato every day for the last week and a half (minus the weekend).

it's like my own curse. everything that i love, i eventually come to hate when i have as much as i wish.

it reminds me how animalistic and sinful we are.

it's kinda like james in A Million Little Pieces, which i started reading last night. in a way, i can relate with him.

i've been meaning to write an entry on what i've come to realize is my biggest fear in life. i think i've been struggling quite a bit with it, at times without even my knowing.

i am at work now and can't write more, but stay tuned. =)

i LOVE my phone. i went without it for a week and realized how much i took my 2-year-old beat up cell phone for granted. note to self: do not forget phone charger when packing to go out of town for a week. i missed it so much i almost bought another one (couldn't find a sprint store around though).

i worked in chevy chase this past week, and..... at times, it was confusing.. tiring... frustrating... torturous.... but then again, it was fun at times... even pampering. the torturous part was mainly because my client's office building was surrounded in all directions by stores like Cartier, Ralph Lauren, LV, Jimmy Choo, Saks Fifth, Banana Republic, Nieman Marcus, Lacoste, Jcrew, Ann Taylor, Gucci, and Blvgari. you'd think 13-hour work days would prevent me from shopping, but i surprised even myself. i took some of my lunch breaks to indulge in my femininity and did a bit of damage to my wallet. not a lot though, really.

frustruating was because i was supervising 3 new hires.... 2 guys straight out of college, mike and mike, and 1 31-year-old who has too many questions, alex. mike and mike kept a tally of alex's questions all week. i remember on wednesday at around 6pm, the tally was at 39 just from that day. guess who had to answer all those questions. lucky me! the guy just doesn't get the hint!

anyways, i better go for now. i hear the garage opening, which means my sister is here with my nephew, and i haven't seen him all week. can't wait to see how big he got.
