Flower of riches and honor. 
                                                                    Symbolize romance and prosperity         

No, this is not part of the wedding preparations yet. But definitely this will be my choice of flowers for my wedding bouquet.
 
Flowers will always be flowers. No matter what type it is, they will all look beautiful and bring and instant smile on your face.  Lovely as they already are, Peonies has somethings in them that brings a radiant feeling and calming effect.  I've never seen a real one yet but just by looking at these pictures below already took my breath away. EHO used to give me flowers and I really love how each bouquet are arranged and how the flowers complement each other. And whats most special about those blooms are they are hand picked and arranged by honey himself.



Behind every flower is a love that blossoms deeper and deeper every day.

DREAMS do come true..

I'm at sea of all the words i can use to label my year:  believe, strive, inspire, begin. But all seems to coincide and relate to the word DREAM.

I know what I've always wanted for my self. I declare this year as the start of me getting closer in making my dreams come to reality. I'm not owning this word just for myself but the selfless side of me also dedicate this word to those close to my heart. Who would not want their dreams to come true. Be it owning the latest gadget to fulfilling every bullet in their 5 year plan.

It all started last year when we purchased our first car. It seems that the implusive buying decion hit us and made us realize that we are blessed enough in achieving our dreams. We are very capable in striking the bigger picture, We just need to make a first move.We both have good paying jobs, we have few obligations to fulfill and we are gifted with skill that will help us achieve and earn more. That's when we decided to take it seriously this time and drafted our plans and dreams.

So here it is, DREAM is my word for 2012.

Dreaming of building a house and start a home for my family, Dreaming of starting my own business, Dreaming of travelling around Asia, Dreaming of haing a good bank account, Dreaming of living a comfortable life for me and my loved ones, Dreaming of happy, contented and fulfilled life.

These are just some of my dreams albeit material, i also want to be an instrument in helping other people getting closer if not making their dreams come to reality.

I've come across this title while reading Yahoo News!.. something about being one of the best read books in US and has a little controversy attached to it.  Due to internet restrictions, I did not bother looking it up and dig deeper about the book. Not till one day, saw my sisters post in Facebook-she's reading it!! She seem very pleased with the story and offered to send me a copy. Yehey!! not just the first book, but all three of them. Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, Fifty Shades Freed. Amen to you Sistahh!!

I love reading books but this time, I'm reading the eBook version. Just reading the first chapter, I know I like it and will definitely continue reading this book and now.. I'M HOOKED!! The characters are described in a way that you'll surely be intrigued and will make u imagine yourself as the character in the story. The story is all about sex, passion, intimacy and most especially how to express love in so many ways. Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving as it being described in amazon.. and true enough it will surely bring all girls daydreaming about their own Christian Grey.


Is there anyone here in the universe comparable to Christian Grey's character? He's the only character who can bring justice to the word HOT! E.L James may have exaggerate his character sometimes, but while you read the story and hit the part where he would stare and kiss-just a plain kiss Ana.. ohh.. no need to argue.. Christian Grey can be the man every girl dreams of.

I can't think of any other actor who can portray the role of Christian Grey- it must be and should be Ian Somerhalder aka Damon Salvatore.  

This book is definitely worth reading and indeed a page turner. Hats off to E. L James!!


 
Apart from having my own blog and a blog logo, I'm also interested on creating my own code name. Yes, I want everything to be personal and all but as much as possible I want to leave something mysterious in my posts. Sharing my personal experiences and stories on my blog and setting privacy aside is something I have already given up..but again...as the old saying goes..leave something for yourself.. so there.. I'm keeping my identity blurry. I may  post photos of me but I want to keep my name and boyfriends name confidential. 

Here are some of the names that I find very interesting. It has to have my character and personality on it.

Words- It's something that people use everyday. There's a never ending list of it but it seems we ran out of it when we want to describe our love to someone special. It's something beyond words can explain
It's amazing how time flies too fast.. we've shared lots of laughter, kept the deepest secrets, cried over petty arguments, celebrated success and victories through eating and most especially expressed the purest love for one another. It has always been my past time to think and reminisce those times when our relationship was full of surprises-from you of course. Those time's when I open the closet and see a wrapped present from you, when I get home from work, I see a bouquet of flowers on the table and to see my favorite drink at my desk before I start my shift.. Those were the times when I know that God is looking at me and smiling 'cause he knew that the happiness that I'm feeling that very moment was something that I've been praying and waited patiently. See, that's what I call perfect timing. It all began at the right place, at the right time and at the right moment. and up until now, I'm still thrilled to know what God has planned for us-for our future.  And everything that happened in between was because of the right reasons- and it's all in accordance to His mighty plan. Kudos to Him for making our love story full of excitement, drama, joy, bliss and above all his abundant blessings. 

Now, were celebrating our 39th month, I'm writing you a letter written in a perfect card that best describes our relationship. Let's admit it, you're better than me when it comes to composing letters and choosing the perfect card. But today, spare me this moment and allow me to write you a love letter. Someday, we'll grow old and I'll look forward in sharing our love story through our letters to our future family.

Have you ever encountered those moments when you happen to pass by a store and checked on the items on the rack but has really no intentions of buying? But when you spotted that cute dress,the elegant shoes in the corner or the perfect purse.. you just can't let go of them from you grip-afraid that someone else might get it.. and that satisfaction--ohh yes.. the delight on your face when the girl behind the counter would seal the bag and hand it over to you-- Thank you for shopping!!.. That's what i exactly felt last week when I spotted this cute journal in the bookstore. Do I need one? What will I write on it? Do I really have to buy it now?Nahh.. i'll just buy it someother time. No, I have to buy it now.. And Whallla!!Paid and Sealed! No one can ever stop me from buying my lovies..

I dont know what's with Paper Pads and Pens that my heart melts everytime I see one. The clean sheets and the colorfull pens just gives the hope that life will never be boring as long as I have them both. Having the freedom to write anything you want, having someone who can absorb all your emotions is just a something I can't trade anything for. 

So when did I start collecting or shall I say fell in love with journals? Back when dad was still working out of town and I was still in grade school, everytime he comes home, he always bring something for his girls. From clips to stickers then the stationaries. We always look forward for the stationaries. It's something that he personally hand picks just to make sure that his girls gets the best designs available. He would then ask us to close our eyes to make it more exciting and for the purpose of us not quarelling over who got the better pads. The excitement and eagerness of our faces to see the designs would turn into delight the moment we opened our eyes. It went on that way for a couple of years. Maybe that's where I got my love for papers and pens. I then started collecting notebooks and paper pads with cute designs. I just can't get enough of them.  It's not just the design nor the pleasing covers.. it's the memories and the untold stories that are yet to be written.

 
So finally I'm done with one of the things on my 2012 Checklist. Done with my driving lessons last March and yesterday, I'm finally a certified and legal driver. I passed the written and practical exam and was able to get my Non-Professional driver's license in just a total of 4 hours. LTO is not that slow in processing after all. It felt good that I was able to acquire my  license without going through a fixer or someone whom you can pay to process your documents. I was able to save around PHP2000 plus the satisfaction after all the efforts done to complete this process. Good Job Kim!

 
I've always wanted to have my own logo for my blog or probably something I can use as a trademark when I start my own business. My concept is anything elegant,classy, pink, dainty and chic. I've come up with the DL logofor my blog and email signature that I'm currently using but I'm still working on some other options that I can use for my future business. 

So here are some of my choices..

Just sharing..the colors, the texture and the concept is sooo me. I wish someday I'll be able to organize something like this for a baby shower, my daughters birthday or maybe my bridal shower...

    Say it again..

    Inside me lies the courage to live the way I imagined
