4/30. Green. Green was not our wedding motif, but our garden venue happened to have ferns and trees and vines as permanent fixtures all over the place, which means, about three-quarters of our wedding photos can be posted under this category! (: Anyway, this photograph I chose ...
Day 3: Blue dream of sky
3/30: Clouds. This photograph is in sepia, but the sky that day was a pretty shade of purplish blue, as if the heavens clothed itself to match our wedding motif. It drizzled before the ceremony started, and it seemed like the clouds would pour in rain, but God held the water ...
Day 2: You saw me wear white
2/30: Outfit. You only get to wear that long white dress once. "You saw me wear white by pale candlelight, I said forever to what lies ahead." ~I Am, Nichole Nordeman My wedding gown was custom-made by my friend Ivy's Lola, who, for the record, was also the one who made the ...
Day 1: This is me, 30 years from now
1/30: Self-portrait. Although we had quite a number of photographers and videographers on our wedding day, I also had my own little coverage going on in the palm of my hands. I held a point-and-shoot camera (a Samsung WP10 I borrowed from my bridesmaid and friend Olivia) and ...
30 days: I’ve always wanted to do this
..and it's about time I did. (: True story. About a year ago (September 13, 2010 to be exact), I was in Hong Kong International Airport with David. He was flying back to New York but had to be on a 12-hour layover in HK; and me, well, I got myself round trip tickets just ...
Words of Wisdom from my Dad
There's not a day that I don't miss my Dad. It's been four years since he went to be with the Lord, and things have changed a lot ever since. Losing a loved one, they say it gets better as days pass and you learn to cope and move on, and true enough, I'm not anymore a wreck like ...
Another Day Closer to You
It's a month too late to have a 2010 recap, but February, for all sentimental reasons, is what I consider to be the first month of the year 2010 for both David and me. Not only is it the month of love, but it's also around this time last year that we *blushes* got back together. ...
Rockefeller Christmas Tree at Midnight
A few nights after the Rockefeller Christmas Tree was lit, and on one of the coldest nights in my life (heads up: I'm from the tropics so what's cold for me may just be a normal cold to you), David and I, with his whole family, had a late night road trip to the city to see the ...
Bikeathon at Central Park
It's my third week here in NY. I wish there's a way I could make time slow down a bit! David and I have been to just a few places so far. As much as we want to spend more time outdoors during the day, he has to be at work and so do I, so we only get to date out in the evenings ...
Tuesdate at Downtown Manhattan
Reposting from FB, November 16. Date backtracked. Photo Dump! When I went here in 2008, taking the Staten Island ferry to see the Statue of Liberty was a special event. Now, it's a way of life. It's the fastest commute to Manhattan from Staten Island after all. I ...
Don’t You Just Love New York in the Fall?
(I just had to use that line. Again.) This is my version of Street View: the 5-minute walk from where I'm staying in Staten Island to the nearby public library, one of my hang out spots here. (You know me, where there's wifi, that's where I'll be.) There's just so much beauty ...
Hello from New York
Hello, I made it to New York! My first weekend here has come and gone. An Inter Varsity Christian Fellowship concert at Calvary Baptist Church in Manhattan, home-cooked dinner by David's mother, and the Pacquiao-Margarito fight welcomed me on my first day, with the rest of the ...
