15th year

Just a quick post...

I still cannot believe it. Everything seems like only yesterday...

We are celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary! Yay! :)

Nothing much is going to happen because we didn't plan to party or anything. We'll just spend it like some ordinary days. I know.. I know... We ought to celebrate it, but he's got other plans. :) 

And to my surprise, he got me this:

woot!~ spikes! xD

And this... :)

While I didn't prepare anything for him. :( I think I'm just not that good in giving presents. Oh, well! But since the holidays are coming up, maybe I could still make it up to him. :)

Happy 15th year, my love!~ You're my most loved enemy. ♥
I wish we'll still have more years to celebrate. I am forever thankful to have you and the kids in my life. I may not be always vocal about my feelings but I know that you know how much I love you. Thank you so much for everything. :) ♥

14th

 I might be MIA for a week or two. 

All because of this...

I'll be seeing you again and I'll be checking in once in a while. ♥

Princess and Knight

I just couldn't forget the conversation I had with my dear daughter, some months ago.

ZombieBabe: Mom, am I a princess?

Me: Yes, of course! You are my princess!

ZombieBabe: But, I don't want to be a princess...

Me:  Uhuh! Well, then tell me what you want to be.

ZombieBabe: A KNIGHT.

Me: *speechless* Ehehehe 

Treasured moments. ♥

Something that couldn't be taken away from you.  

Lalalalalalalala means I love you...

I was invited by a friend of mine to attend a mini gathering at The Fort. It was business related so I couldn't say no. Still, I was a bit hesitant to take my hubby along. He doesn't enjoy seeing me being around with people only I know. It may sound a bit selfish. But I'm good with that. Sometimes, even if it's not good, you get used to it, right? Anyway, we ended up attending the meeting together and I promised him that I'd show him around. It's like a date! ♥ It's been a while since we did something like this. 

A very nice coffee shop within the Burgos Circle, BGC. The UCC Coffee.

Tea for me. Coffee for him. XD

After the business meeting, we went around for a walk. Sorry, I didn't take a lot of photos while we were there. I told you, I am not comfortable doing so. Maybe if have a DSLR, I would. xD I just don't like being stared at while I am taking photos of small things, my food or myself. I'm usually annoyed by this kind of attention. AND people wouldn't mind seeing someone taking snapshots using a DSLR! Can you see the difference? :/ 

We took the Electric Tricycle ride to get to the Market Market. It was fun!~ :)

This is how the Electric Tricycle looks like. 

He's a man of few words. But I can tell that he's delighted by what he saw during our walk. xD

Before heading home, he asked if we can have dinner. He's not hungry but he's craving for something. I just thought that I should really take advantage of the offer because as I've said, this seldom happens. 

It was a short, fun and sweet date. ♥ I know, a lot of new things were learned that day. I leaned how to persuade him to the things I'm inclined to do. While, I know, he learned how to appreciate me more. 

I wish, we could do this more often... ♥

That one dress...

You may have noticed the gray dress that I was wearing in the EFL header pic. That dress was supposed to be for sale but I just couldn't let it go. It was made by my teacher and was based on my body measurements since any standard medium sized dress or any clothing fits me perfectly. And because we are planning to sell it in the first place, she used the smocking technique for the back part of the bodice, so it would fit medium built ladies with a little bigger boobs than mine. I just added the details to it so it would look complete and quite loli-ish. 

Ooooh! How I love its drapes! ♥

*Sorry for the not-so-nice photo... I forgot to remove the top hat head band before taking this photo. >.<

What I love about this dress is the side drapes on the skirt part. I added tiny bows to it to make it more appealing. ^_^ The bottom frills were minimal and the whole dress has a cotton fabric lining. It's edges were over locked to avoid fraying and oh! It's fabric is more like a chiffon, very suitable for the hot weather here. :)) Here's the detailed pic.

That bow on the bodice part is detachable. 

The bows, laces, flowers and top hat were all made and/or added by me. :) 

As for the top hat, I followed Jaja's tutorial on making a Lolita accessories out of a plastic bottle. BUT, the plastic bottle that I chose wasn't as sturdy as the one she have used. Mine was a thinner type of plastic bottle and it tends to melt easy. I failed to finish the complete set. :( But anyway, I was able to finish the top hat so, it's okay, I guess. xD Next time, I'll try to make another one using a different bottle, of course. :) 

I'm still thinking hard if I'd sell it or not. Or, maybe, I should just pay my teacher for her hard work on this dress. >.< 

By the way, Jaja have not yet released the whole photo set of this shoot. I will post more as soon as she release them. ^_^

Gotta go to bed now! See you around! ♥

Us!~ ♥ It was windy and my hair was a mess! ugh! >.<

YAHEEEY!!! xD

I now has a dot-com!!! :D

 

Massive thanks to you, Mom!

I am a self-confessed shoe addict.

Yes. I am. 

(Duh?! What girls doesn't? ^_^)

I don't know if it's a disease or what but I'm sure it is hereditary! LOL! 

My Mom is also addicted to buying and wearing different shoes, as far as I can recall. She used to put all of her shoes near our stairs, in that old house where I grew up. Everyone might notice that she's wearing the same clothes but she never ran out of shoes to wear. *Gasp!* 

Lucky me, we have the same shoe size and all her old ones are passed on to me. Her "old ones" aren't really old, by the way. She'll wear them one time or two and then she'll packed them up and send them all to me. Yippeee! :)

Yesterday, a box from her arrived and wow! 0_0 She got me 5 new pairs! *Woot!* 

*faints!* <333

The last one is my favorite! Since I'm into Gothic/Steam punk Style, that one could be very useful! :)

Geez! Massive thanks to my mother! I know I'm 31 and all but you still shower me with all these things. I don't really mind if those are hand-me-downs or new ones. What matters is the thought and that you spend part of your savings just to buy me something. (By the way, I rarely ask from her... She's just too generous! Moms are the best! ^_^)

I am soo blesses to have you! I love you! :))
