It's been a week already since he start calling to wake me up :D And he do that every morning. So even though I'm still so damn sleepy, I don't wanna waste his effort so I'd get up and start my day no matter how early it is for me :D

So, how's your day? I hope everything goes out well. ^_^ As for me, I had a terrible morning. I dropped my ring (friendship ring) into the sink while washing my face and it took me almost two hours before I recover it. Gosh. I was so damn worried I'd lose it. ^_^

Anyway, today is no ordinary day. Just another day of massive dumping of photos. But this time I'd like to share my niece's pics taken a week ago. She's five now and she's changing so fast. She became more wiser and meaner each day that comes. But whatever. I love her still :D

Introducing my pretty niece :D

Hello fellow bloggers! ^_^ 


Today I will be sharing with you my brother's funny marriage proposal that took place at Vienna Kaffehaus here in our city. 


Expect the unexpected. 


First, let me tell you how I ended up being there during the proposal..


The night before my brother proposed, he showed me the ring and asked me what I think about it. I simply replied, "okay" not bad at all. I find it too simple for an engagement ring. Yes. For me it was the simplest ring I've ever seen but it's cute. It's just that, as I said, it's too simple. But of course, what I think don't matter, though I said, you should have told me this earlier so I can take a look some rings too and blah blah blah..


I then told him, let me know when are you going to propose  so I can spy on you guys and sneak some pics. But he told me, nope! I'll ask Edwin (he's friend) to take the pics because I don't want you posting and sharing this in your blog-but see? here I am. haha!


Yesterday morning, I received a message (SMS) from him telling me to meet him at Vienna Kaffehaus at 6pm that afternoon because he wasn't able to inform Edwin ahead of time and Edwin did not bring with him his camera so he wants me to be one to take the photos while he's proposing-which by the way made all things a little bit awkwardly funny.


Why?


Because in the cafe, although there were customers also, but lucky for us we're sitting somewhere at the corner of the kaffehaus and they were just right next to me so, that left us unnoticed-which is a good thing.HAHA! I was watching and listening the whole time (before, during and after)  my brother made his proposal. Don't you find that funny? I did. =))

The whole scenario..

I arrived first in the Kaffehaus..


I ordered lemonade..

My brother arrived with a flowers 

and left again to fetch her girlfriend -Joan of Diaries Of An Indistinctive Writer, who I presume you knew already. She's a blogger also and was featured once in this post-Wicked Sister Meets The Brother's Girlfriend (Diaries of an Indistinctive Writer).

Later, the two of them arrived :D 

(pre-proposal moment)

And then the proposal..

there's a video actually but I'll be doom for sure if I will share it on blog. haha!

it wasn't the most romantic, cool and sweet proposal ever but it was the funniest, one that neither me and Joan would ever forget. haha! My brother didn't even know where to put the ring-right or left? he put it on first at Joan's right hand and then later removed it and put it on her left's. crazy, right? I was laughing til the end. haha! Maybe he was nervous and he felt awkward with me around, but as for me, I did really enjoy that moment. haha!

but ALAS! he made it through, ALIVE. ^_^ that's all. ^_^ 


Next time,  will share with you my thoughts about engagements esp. my brother's engagement and marriage :D

CONGRATULATION!

Inserted :)

This was tagged to me by Matty long long time ago. I promised to answer it asap but unfortunately I didn't :(
but here I am finally answering it Matty ^_^


Question One- Sadly you're forced into competing in a fight with famous boxing legend Mike Tyson in his prime. Before fighting him in the ring however you're allowed to pick three other bloggers who would come out individually to fight Mike before you had to (you know, with the intention of weakening him or beating him so you'll have an easy fight or won't have to.) Who do you pick to fight Mike? 

-I'd pick one only and it would be Henry of Onetofu because as far as I can remember, he had his karate background or whatever. hehe!

Question Two- What super power would you pick? The ability to read minds to teleport to anywhere you want to three times a day, to see everything you touch turn into gold or to turn into a cockroach on a whim (that's not really a power though but still!)

-Reading minds is so awesome, I guess. I'll know what people thinks about me and whether I'll be happy about it or  I'll just high five them in the face, plus it will be a lot of fun reading peoples' crazy ideas. Invasion of privacy at its finest baby! Ha! :D

Question Three- Some record company bigwig phones you up and orders you to be featured with any musician alive or dead in their next album. Which musician do you pick?

-Enrique Iglesias. First, because he is hot. Second, because he is hot and sexy. Third, he's hot, sexy and I love his voice. :D

Question Four- Can you draw? If so draw me however you interpret me, it's fine if you can't!

-I'm sorry, I can't. But I ask my friend to do it. :) Here's a cat, instead. I love cats. -THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A CAT! hmp :( there must be something wrong during editing :( Does it look cat to you? hehe sorry..I don't know how to get it back together. haha

      `-----'`-----` `--` 


Question Five- What would you rather be? A bar or a car? (My best friend Ryan once asked this question during "open mic" night at a bar and the confused faces made back at him were hilarious.)

-A car would be great since I love travelling.

Question Six- Um, could you tell us something about your past that nobody on here knows yet?

-a guy let me out in his car and left me in the middle of nowhere at 1am in the morning because I didn't wanna make out with him. I was scared to death and I wanna cry out load but I didn't, of course. But the good thing was, he came back and apologized and he sent me home after :D

There's a rule attached in here that I should tagged some also with another set of questions but I chose not to since this was an  overdue already. hehe! ^_^

Hello fellas! I'm so back, not for good though ;-)

 

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Right now I can hear Adelle singing, performing at 54th Grammy's, oh! It's a replay anyway, in case you're wondering. hehe

By the way, how was your valentines sweeties? 

Did your boyfriends take you out, or did you take your girlfriends out for a date? C'mon..spill! hehe..

As for me, I had a date with my girl-friends. Awesome right? We had dinner and karaoke after :) -as usual. 

Cheer up! ^_^ -that's for myself :)

Time to flood you with pictures now, but first..let's see how was my valentine's last year..^_^

I was with my friends last year also, oh, and I was with John, my still missing friend :(, it was his first time to meet my friends too-first time and I dunno, maybe last. Oh! I don't wanna think about it.

VALENTINE 2011

I was taking pictures of lovebirds from up above (in the Mall). (I was on the second floor at that time, I mean, we're on the second floor spying. hehe)

While these partners we're having their time of their lives,

 one person looked so sad and loveless, lol

 and then I saw a very familiar faces ;-) a classmate of ours, It's Maggie with her boyfriend! whoa ;-)

and then, there's Aiko and her bestfriend :)

and there's us..

VALENTINE 2012

Same as usual, we had dinner, this time, with Grace's @ Rosso Restaurant Mallberry Suites ^_^

Our Valentine 2012 was indeed the simplest as ever. ^_^

that's all. Happy Valentine's Day once again :D

Happy Blogging :)

 

Hello once again! I'm back and I'm telling you, today is the best day to rant and bombard you with lots of nonsense. whoa. 

Do you know why? 

It's because I have all the time in the world (just for today) to drawn myself blogging (of course, visiting your sites, reading your posts and the rest. you know what I mean, aye?).

Anyway, today is the second part of my Ilocos Tour Series which I think was the most amazing day of that tour we had. In this post (sorry for the delay), you will see how beautiful the world we're living in and how creative our creator was. 

oh! if you haven't seen the first part yet. --->Ilocos Tour Series (Laoag City)

But before that, allow me to copy+paste some information I found about the place we visited.

Pagudpud,  

a 1st class municipality and a coastal resort town on the northernmost tip of Luzon Island in the Philippines. According to the latest census, Pagudpud has a population of 20,385 people in 3,804 households.

The town is bounded to the south by the town of Bangui and to the east by the Cordillera Mountain Range, the town of Adams and the province of Cagayan. The South China Sea lies to the west and north. The town rolls over mountains, hills, valleys and flat coastal land. It lies 45 miles (72 km) north of Laoag City, the provincial capital, and about 350 miles (560 km) north of Manila. They reside in 3,804 homes that are spread across 83 square miles (210 km²). Most make their living through farming, fishing and subsistence retailing. Tourism is a growing part of the economy.

Pagudpud was made a municipality on February 5, 1954. Unlike Laoag City, the province's only autonomous city, Pagudpud derives its authority from the provincial government. It had previously been a part of the neighboring town of Bangui. credit to: wiki

there!

Honestly, I have no idea about this place. The only thing I had in mind about Ilocos was the place called Vigan City. I've heard and read about the place since I was in high school and I told myself, one day, I will visit that place ;-) 

So it happens! ^_^

When my brother's friends Edwin and Mel went to explore the place (Ilocos), I was able to check some of their photos and OMG! I became even more excited to see the place myself (esp. the rock formation). It was really beautiful, really really beautiful. 

Anyway, without further ado. Brace yourself as I'm about to take you somewhere you've never seen before =)) 

To start with: Get to see where we had our first (actually, second stop. the first stop was "salt" making something..^_^ but I just thought, this is way more interesting to share :D 

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse 

-also known as Burgos Lighthouse, is a cultural heritage structure in Burgos established during the Spanish Colonial times. credit here

Cold and windy morning!

Kapurpurawan Rocks 

-are rock formations created by forces of the ocean on the rocky coast of Burgos, located just a few minutes further from the lighthouse. credit here

 The angry birds, rather waves. LOLS

Look! O_O we're on top! ^_^

 That's our lovebirds companion: Bryan and Ericka :)

 Catch me I'm falling!

 Rocks!

 Earth and Sky

Bangui Windmills

The undying Jumpshots!

Lunch!

Kabigan Falls

Patapat Viaduct  

-also considered as the 4th longest bridge in the Philippines, is a winding bridge hugging the cliffs of the Northern Cordillera Mountain Ranges which connects the barangays Balaoi and Pansian and is about 1.2 kilometers long. Dubbed as the “French Riviera of the North” for this breathtakingly beautiful coastal drive, one can pass by Mabugabog Falls, a source of power for the mini-hydroelectric plant. This pretty bridge features a blue sea and sea birds on one side and the beautiful mountains on one side. Can’t be any nicer than that! source here

On the way to the Blue Lagoon

 stop!

 last stop!

EDIT: I know pictures are enough, but just in case you wanna see the rest of the videos. ^_^

Finally! I am here =))

 

Up Close!

 

Feel the breeze and listen to the raging sound of the waves. Oh! nothing compares ^_^ It was really scary to see the waves from up above because I felt like the wind was gonna blow me and threw off to the cliff anytime. but alas! I managed to stand still. wow!

Byran as he successfully struggles his way to the top :)

THE END 

love you always :)
