Showbiz Wedding of the Year

I am sure there are more awww-worthy moments on YouTube, better places and better ways to execute the entire thing but whatever my and your opinions are, this proposal and wedding made a lot of eyes cry, hearts flutter and well, this is one for the books. 


Aminin! Kinilig ka rin, no? Personally, I give Zoren "pipty percent por da epport!"

Random observations:

1. Zoren is one major cheese ball. 
2. Carmina's character shone through her raw expressions. I think she handled the entire thing very well.
3. I am always on the look-out for Kris Aquino's expression. Just because. 

Haha!

Starbucks 2013 Planner

After breakfast in our new favorite Starbucks (ischoloveley, by the way!)


Person A gave me his Starbucks stickers card to redeem my planner. Hooray, for generous boyfriends! I stopped regularly chugging Starbucks for the calories and the moolah so it's implied that my stickers are way below the 17 stickers required to claim one planner. Secondly, I am not able to maximize the use of the planner. I love to plan and organize but my current gadgets get the job done. So the planners I've been accumulating the past years are just sitting in my desk at home.

Nonetheless, let me share with you why I think this could be the most amazing Starbucks planner to date. For 2012, my favorite is the Seattle's Best planner - which I use as a personal diary.


It comes in 3 colors: black, green and white. I was contemplating between the green and white for the sole reason that the green looks so fresh. However, Person A just commented to stick to the white because it's my favorite color shade, after all.


Here's my white, leather-bound planner.

There's a monthly summary page. This is a winner for me.


A bigger space for daily planning. However, I still prefer a page a day design to capture the important notes I have for the day.


It's more personalized and have these stickies you can use to brighten someone else's day.


There's the traditional freebies coupon which is presented in a more creative way.


And what I love most next to the white cover is the free book mark! A mug of coffee + a book sounds like perfect combination.


And I'd like to end this post with my make out session with the frappuccino before we parted for the day.


We were amazed that it's been a long time since I had one. The past year/s, I always order hot or iced despite craving for a frappe. Again, calories. 

Oh Starbucks, you are always loved.

Love Is...

While driving with a friend one night, she posed a question that caught me off-guard: 

Friend: "Eh Sol, paano ko malalaman kung mahal ko siya?" 

I was so tempted to quickly reply "Basta you'll know" or the slumbook answer: "Love is like a babolgam (bubblegum), kung mupilit, makabuang". Relate much? Though I know deep inside there's a better answer to that. And with the bevy of vehicles trying to cut my way along Ayala, 1 Corinthians 13 crossed my mind... and thus I replied:

Me: "If you can love the person according to 1 Corinthians 13"

So presenting the 15 ways to love. Love is...

1. Patient
2. Kind
3. Without Envy
4.  It is not boastful
5. It is not arrogant 
6. It is not ill-mannered
7. Does not seek its own interest
8. Overcomes anger
9.  Forgets offenses
10.Does not delight in wrong
11. Rejoices in truth
12. Excuses everything
13. Believes all things
14. Hopes al things
15. Endures all things

This to me is the best definition of love. And while we were going through this chapter one day, Person A pointed out to me a line "And when what is perfect comes, everything imperfect will pass away." 

I can't share enough how I love this bible verse.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
