Happy one year!

This post is definitely long overdue, and I can't believe I forgot to write about it together in my last entry. Then again, it deserves its own post so here goes;

 We celebrated our one year together last 27th August. It was good that I was home for the celebration. We couldn't come up with any good ideas as to what to do for our one year celebration. So we figured, what a better way to celebrate our one year than to actually re-live our first date.

So we went to Chilli's!

Ugh, god. Buffalo wings! So delicious. He had beef quesadillas (which by the way I actually google-d on how to eat since they had so many condiments, I just didn't know what to do with), while I had a plate of lamb shoulder with the best mashed potatoes ever.

 The happy couple and my bowl of chicken bones haha

 I was so blessed to be home for our anniversary just because I know how much it means to him considering how we only get to see each other every 6 months. He has been such a good and loving boyfriend for the past year, and so understanding. Not every man is up to the challenge of LDR (read: long distance relationship) and after what I had been through, I never really thought I could deal with another LDR. But he soared through and showed me the wonders of it all and I'm just really glad to have him by my side. 

Cheers, love. 

I can't wait for our next celebration and all the other ones after that.

It's always been you, hasn't it?

Summer lovin'

So this is how I spent my summer break:

1. My best friend's wedding

   My nemo buddy finally got hitched! She's been planning it for almost a year and to finally get to see her on the pelamin was too overwhelming that I almost cried. Cheers to the happy couple! <3

2. My brother's wedding

    My eldest brother got married last 31st August and it was amazing and hectic at the same time. He's the first of our family to get married and so some things were out of place and whatnot, but it all ended well enough. As you can see, the theme was green. Never thought green would actually look nice for a wedding theme. The hall was nice with an antique museum-like backdrop. Got to meet and catch up with so many faces I hadn't seen since probably high school. And sooo....cheers to the happy couple! 

3. My wedding

   BAHAHAHA! I wish!! 

Let's scratch that one out.

3. My wedding

3. High school reunion

   After approximately 5 years, we finally had a PH5 high school reunion. PH5 was what we used to call our 'clique' or 'group'. Yes yes, something in the likes of Vivy Yusof's Proudducks. Haha 12 hours straight of laughters and non-stop talking with these amazing 5 girls. If it wasn't for the fact that one of us had classes the next day, we probably would have stayed up talking all night long. We've changed so much from our high school years and its just so good to finally get together. Hopefully it won't be another 5 years until our next reunion. 

 4. Day out with the siblings

   The boyfriend insisted we took my siblings out for day trip to KL and since I had promised Amanda something for her birthday earlier, we decided to take the kids to Petrosains. I found myself actually stopping and reading all the fun facts and whatnot instead of just going 'Ooh! Games!' Haha maybe its just the age catching up with me :/

 So that was basically how I spent most of my summer. Didn't manage to finish any books like I would always do. I have this thing where I do a summer reading challenge and I try to at least finish one good book. I brought back The Great Gatsby but all it did was act as a prop for my bedside table. But I did finally finish reading it on the plane back to Japan though. Tried re-reading my Sweet Valley books only to have it end in vain. So no summer reading challenge accomplished this time. *sigh*

 Then again, I mean, come on. What's The Great Gatsby compared to spending time with these two sweethearts?

Probably would have stuffed both of them in my luggage if I could. 

Nothing can compare to spending time with my favorite people. Nothing.
