Tying the Knot!

"Congratulations and Best Wishes! Keep the fire burning! Love, Tina"

Exact words I wrote on my Kuya Ryan's Guest board. He and his girlfriend already tied the knot Yesterday, May 15 2013.

Tying the knot - nobody said it was easy, but no one said it was hard either. It requires a lot of time, effort and money. Everyone involve in the planning, preparation, day of the wedding and after the wedding should have a lot of energy and patience!

Planning

Kuya and York (his girlfriend) as well as the families of both parties decided and agreed that the wedding will be held at Beltran's Residence at San Isidro Lubao Pampanga.
They set the date of the wedding to May 15, and already planned on where to buy the wedding dress, the flowers, and the cake. Even the simplest things like candles to be used, veil, and cord.

Choosing the wedding cake!

We thought of using cupcakes instead of the usual cakes!

We end up choosing this. ;)

The Great Gatsby's Beauty and Glamour!

This is just a preview of the film's glamorous fashion!

I thought that this will be a nice article to post so you'll have a closer look on the beautiful fashion outfits of Carey Mulligan (Daisy Buchanan). I will also share some of the Tiffany & Co's - The Great Gatsby collection!

This is how a 20's 's Retro Party looks like, with the feathers, dazzling diamonds and bigger/glamorous parties with lots of liquors!

The wonderful jewelries used by Buchanan are all included in "The Great Gatsby Collection by Tiffany and Co."

I personally love this shot, Buchanan's Dress is awesome!

She looks spectacular here. ;)

Jack's Loft

If my boyfriend and I have something in common it will be about food. ;)
We both love to eat, I remember last March we celebrated his birthday in a Dampa Restaurant (Filipino Restaurant, where you can buy fresh sea foods and you can ask the restaurants to cook them for you.) at Macapagal Avenue. We had Tempura, baked oyster, calamares, and crabs. Yes, it's just the two of us. hihi
Moving on, last Friday after office hours, we decided to eat at Jack's Loft, well it's our first time there and we thought all along that they only sell cakes and pastries but yeah we're wrong. ;)

Cheese Sticks with Marinara Sauce

For the appetizer, we ordered cheese sticks with marinara sauce. Well this is quite disappointing, I expect every bite to be oozing with cheese, or at least gooey, but they served it cold so my expectations died. ;(
Maybe if they served it hot, it would have been a different story.

Game of Thrones!

Last week, my friend Neil asked me to watch Game of Thrones, at first I was like, sure when I have time since I still have plenty of things to do. I am not familiar with the HBO series, I don't know what to expect, and didn't bother to research about it thinking that after seeing the first episode I might just stop watching it.  Another friend of mine - Naji, also happen to like the said series and so I decided to give it a try. I thought after the first episode, I will find it boring but I was wrong. I enjoyed every episodes on the first season and can't help my self watching the next after the other one. It's like reading a good book, the more you read it the more you like to continue and then you end up finishing the whole story before you put it down. And that my friend is what I felt. :)
While watching the first season there's a point wherein I felt it was gross seeing blood flows from the throat of a man or watching Khaleesi eating which for me looks like a heart with blood. When, Sansa beg King Joffrey for her Father's mercy, I felt it was stupid, honestly I was really pissed off..
Then the scene where Khaleesi said these words to Drogo: When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east then you shall return to me my sun and stars..  it was heart breaking.
I realized then and there that I am also hooked with the series! It persuades me, it makes me feel mixed emotions and I want more after the other!

Just looking at the poster, it looks like a new online game. Lord Stark looks really good here. :)

And this is the best scene for me so far, aside from the scene where she said: When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east then you shall return to me my sun and stars to Drogo . ;)

 I like how the story revolves however, I will not recommend this to those whose age are below 18 for there are scenes which  are not appropriate for them to watch and needs to have a proper guidance of their parents. :) I am currently at Season 2 and looking forward to see Season 3. :)

Have you seen Game of Thrones? Do you also like it?
