1. If you have been or are married, tell us about your wedding. If you are not, tell us how would you want it to be.
** Well, I am already married, so, what we had was just a simple civil wedding. I would have wanted really, deep in my heart to have a church or garden wedding, i mean, every girls dream is to wear this dream wedding gown; but well, our finances were tight that time so we had to settle with what we can afford. It was fun though just intimate with family & friends and believe it or not we dont have a wedding cake, buying one is just too pricey and is not on our budget. I wish though I can get to experience that dream wedding someday.
2. What age would you encourage your children to get married?
** I think 25 above or just until they are mature enough to know the responsibilities.

6. Would you prefer a lavish event or a intimate ceremony?
** not so lavish, just the usual works.
7. Have you ever been in some one’s wedding party? If yes, do tell.
** Like I said, I adore weddings, I even dream of becoming a wedding planner so the most that I can get an opprtunity on being invited, I would really go for it, the last time was when H was invited to be one of the godparents, not that he's too old though hehe.
8. Does a wedding make you happy and sentimental or grouchy and skeptical?
** happy
9. Why do you think our divorce rate is so high?
** I dont know, maybe couples just stopped loving each other, or realized they dont wanna be in that situation

Piano Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:48:00 +0000

I love it when I hear someone play piano. Ever since I was little I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano but because of lack of opportunities I wasn't able to get myself to learn. Though I know the basics like playing do-re-mi and all that, but as in really play a piece or a song, that is just ly lifelong dream. I am actually thinking of enrolling for piano class but I am having scond thoughts thinking I may be too old for it, we'll see though, maybe someday I wuld be able to finally play a complete song.

Lovin' This Bag

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:38:00 +0000

photos by: faye

I am not into designers much but what caught my eye recently is this nice Lacoste Bag I saw at Faye's Site, I saw lots that I like but I just looove how the bag looks like, not too girlish yet cute and it can be easily paired up with any casual attire. Though kinda pricey I am actually fixing my eyes on this item. Let's see what H thinks of this, but regardless, isn't it lovely? Well all I can say, aside from shoes, bags are totally a must among girls, just among the things we can't get enough of.

I have been doing some visiting on my friends list on Facebook and saw this new game that my sister has been playing. When I signed up I was surprised to see most of my friends playing this application too, am I being left behind? or am I just being too caught up in Pet SOciety and Restaurant City, but I do remember though that a friend tried to share this application to me I am not suer if I had ignored it though but anyway, I am not sure if I have the patience to wait for the vegetables to grow brcause on my Pet Societys garden, I get anxious if I see the tree or the flower hasnt grown yet, but this game looks interesting so we'll see how far I can go.

Recent Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:33:00 +0000

Hello guys, how have you all been? If you notice I havent updated much lately because of the fact that ever since I got into this night shift thing I just cant stand being on the computer more than an hour anymore. I have been quite lazy lately not to mention my weight adding up, which means I really really need to have diet pills, and also I am in charge in fetching mys on at school around 12 noon. So what I can update is just my pet at pet society and my restaurant at restaurant city over at facebook. I miss real blogging here. Well, I just hope I can get at least a morning shift the earliest time possible, It was a long time when I remembered how sickening it is to be on the night shift. Time for my beauty rest now, I'd be working later.

Pillow Talk

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:57:00 +0000

We were doing some window shopping last weekend and I saw some lovely outdoor pillows that is just perfect for the rattan furniture that I have been eyeing at the entire time. Though the name itself suggested it is an outdoor pillow I will be using them indoors on my soon to be sala set. There are lots of rattan manufacturers here in the country whick make it really easy to find good quality livingroom set. I am just looking for the right fabric for theoutdoor pillows to match. I just wish I can go window shopping again this week.

Weather Blues

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:32:00 +0000

I was about to check out this lovely outdoor furniture that I saw the other day at the furniture store, when the national weather advised that there will be this storm coming. I thought it would be lovely to put something outside since the weather has been really nice the past few days. I saw this really nice piece online and I saw the same piece at a local store and it is affordable so H and I thought of getting it but I guess now is not the right time for it has been raining since yesterday and not to mention the weather announcement. Well, I guess we would have to park that idea for now.

Scents and Sensibility

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:36:00 +0000

I personally am not a fan much of perfumes because of my sinusitis the reason why I am too picky in terms of buying such, I have several perfumes given as gifts that I just never wear because I simply get a headache whenever I put some on. I prefer a Scent that are more milder like colognes the reason why I love Victorias Secret a lot. I have several perfume/cologne scents in my collection (picture shown above) I have 3 bottles of VS, 1 Bench for women and 1 Dolce & Gabbana that I seldom wear. Well, I hope I can add some more in m collection preferably Victorias Secret ones. WIth the economic crises, it is just a luxur splurging on things like these, but well, I guess sometimes its worth buing.

Thoughts About Furniture

noreply@blogger.com (Butchay) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:03:00 +0000

We at the moment doesn't have a decent furniture at home. I have been thinking of what is the best furniture to purchase really especially now that we are on tight budget, I have been doing lots of window shopping lately both online and at furniture stores; I have seen a lot that looks nice but I personally like a not so modern yet stylish types not to mention the antique looking rustic furniture ones. I really like the color browns and the earthy types so seeing this really nice dresser shown above really captured my attention. I wish I could own something like that, I just wonder how that one costs if if I had it custom made.

Let me start this with saying I am just one happy camper. I am just so excited as my son, the reason why? Our company will sponsor a free movie premiere exclusive to employees only for the advanced screening of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen this coming June 25 at 8am. We have actually maxed to the 350 seat capacity of the cinema and the TL of our team have signed the whole team up for the movie premiere. We have free snacks to go with the movie as well so cant wait. I am just so sad that it is exclusive for employees only I could've brought H and DD with me but anyway, I will just accompany them when they watch the movie hehehe. I have watched the trailer and it is smashing. I'm positive it is one great movie to look forward to.

Bathroom Stuff

I know I should be sleeping at this time so I have much energy and focus later at work but I can't seem to help but stay awhile and look for nice faucets online. I am planning on buying small pieces so that when we finally get to have a house which I am hoping this year, I would be able to have the pieces I have installed. I saw this Kohler Faucets with a matching shower that really took my attention. What do you guys think? It's a bit pricey though but I guess there would be a sale somewhere that I can find.
