It actually was... :) I went to meet Tammy Tan to fit the dress I had made for S 's wedding - after which - I went to attend Sophie's Beauty and Minerals day! Beauty & Vanity - they go hand in hand I think... :) I was actually late for the 2 events. But first things first. The dress I had made turned out so nice! I loved it! There were only minor adjustments and everything else was close to perfect! One complaint though - it seemed as if my front bumpers shrinked! Dang it! But Tammy made suggestions, thanks Tammy !! :) She also had me try on this wrap dress - I first thought that it might not fit me because of the size, but when I wore it! My gosh - it was perfect! I loved it sooooooo much! Even my Panget said it looked great! Thanks Tammy !! I'm such a big fan of hers! She's such a sweetheart!! Arns, if you happen to see this - you're one lucky guy!! My friend Annie was also there, not to mention my Panget. You see, he's the ever curious -...

First of all - THANK YOU so much Mindy! It's such an honor - that I am a part of your list. It really means a LOT to me. Thank you, thank you!! You actually made my day.. :) I am deeply overwhelmed! I swear - I am still in shock whenever I think about it. Paying it forward - here's my own list... Sophie - I've never met Sophie - but I feel like I know her. We chat once in a while, long chats not small talk- and it turns out, we have some friends in common! I like chatting with her - it's like chatting with a younger sister - and I never had a sister.. The fact that mans more than 1 blog says it all! She's indeed a blog addict. She's the one who got me hooked on Mineral Make-Up! Gosh - when I got my sampler from her - I never went back to my old brands! Thanks Soph!! Mindy - not because she put me in her list - but because of her love of watching TV!! I too am a TV addict, but Mindy - I think no one can parallel her! I admire her objectiveness and...

Everyone loves the series FRIENDS. I've seen it so many times over and I think that I can somehow answer a trivia or two about the show. My good friend MM was the one who invited me to Facebook - the new Friendster. And since then - I couldn't stop going to the site every single day! It has a lot of features and quite frankly - I've become addicted to it - mainly because of the FRIENDS trivia quiz. I've spent hours on this answering trivias - to reach the next levels! Here's one of the questions. I think if you're a fan of FRIENDS - you'll know the answer to this.. Any guesses?

It's officially the season of Weddings. Last Saturday, at S 's bridal shower - S handed me my official invite to her wedding. I don't know why - but when I got home - I stared at it for about 10 minutes - I looked at it over and over again. I couldn't believe she's already getting married! It seems like only yesterday that she was telling us how her then boyfriend A - proposed to her. I was so happy to hear the news. Actually, I wasn't surpirsed - you see, I dreamt that she told me she was already getting married. She assumed that my Panget (who's her cousin) told me about her fiance's plans - but honestly - I found out in my dream - I only confirmed it was true when she told me. (There's a saying that if you dream of something and you want it to come true - you shant tell anyone - I'm a bit superstitious you see...) In less than a month she will become Mrs. A.K.L . We were just sending one another text messages after my Yoga class a...

My Panget is soooooo funny. You see - he declares himself blind when he doesn't have his glasses on. Considering that his glasses have a grade that is less than 100. Oh-kay!! He suddenly messaged me thru YM that he was going to pick me up earlier than usual - the reason? He left his glasses at home - thus - he needed to leave the office while there's still light! Hahaha.. Isn't that cute? Awwwww....

The weekend was quite sad. My Ima - the youngest sister of my Guama (my mom's mother) was cremated last Saturday - she succommed to Breast Cancer last Thursday. Funerals are really sad, but one good about funerals is that - it brings the family together. It has been ages since I last saw my aunts, uncles, grandparents (the siblings of my Guama)! The last time I saw my aunts and uncles (cousins of my mom) - most of them were not married yet - and now - they have kids! Not babies - but kids ranging from 10 years old and below. One of my second cousins asked their mom 'Why are there Koreans here?' I knew they were referring to me! Obviously! Hahaha.. And their parents told them 'She's your cousin!' He looked at me confused and looked at his dad again - as if he knew it was a joke. But it wasn't. Haha!! He was a little shocked to hear me speak english! I knew that I had mestiza and mestizo aunts and uncles - but when you see their kids - gosh - ther...

I think I might want to bake this weekend. I don't know why - but there's that certain tug that makes me want to bake something.. cupcakes or cookies maybe... I'm not so sure.. Hahaha... This begets skipping sweets for 3 days!! (I know! 3 measely days!!)
