I married my Super Secret Super Fan!

Yes, it all happened so fast, but why let love wait! Haha

Mr. and Mrs. Porquez!

We decided we wanted to have a small, intimate, casual wedding with our closest friends and family, in both our hometown in Iloilo. We discovered just a few months ago that our houses in Iloilo was a 5 min walk away from each other! #MeantToBe

Bridesmaids
Groomsmen
I wanted our guests to feel comfortable and wear whatever they feel pretty in, so I specifically put casual attire in our invitations. And if it isn't obvious yet, I love floral designs. I got exactly what I wanted for my wedding. <3 a="" amongst="" and="" but="" call="" div="" feel="" flowers="" for="" gown="" having="" i="" is="" long="" me="" my="" nbsp="" not="" pearly="" prettiest="" rebellious="" this="" traditional="" wedding="" white="">

Flowers, Candles and Ring Bearer's Pillow lovingly DIY-ed by me! 
I DIY-ed the flowers, boutonnieres, bible bearer's pillow, and whatever I can DIY to keep the costs low! We wanted to splurge on the food, which was deliciously catered by Uncle Tom's. We had a lot of food that we wanted to include in the menu, like my mother in law's out of this world lasagna. We kept the program short and sweet. A few messages, a toast, trivia and a few games, songs rendered by our friends, said our thanks, and then spent the rest of the time for more photos and chitchats with families and friends.

What's really touching is that all my bestfriends made it to my wedding, despite the distance and costs. It was truly the happiest day of my life. <3 div="">

LEGIT!

We skipped off to Boracay right after the wedding!
Our 'gift-away' which we used in Boracay! Functional and chic!

To happily ever after!
#Yay!

Happy Holidates!

Iloilo, January 1, 2015 :)


What now

I wish I had my life figured out by now. I guess this is normal, at this age and point in time. Not knowing what to do or where to go. I used to be so sure of my plans in life for the next 10 years, now I'm not so sure if I still want these things, or that I should pursue them because these are my dreams. Or were my dreams.

Who has answers to these things anyway?! Who has got it all figured out, and is completely happy and contented with his life?

I wish life were simpler.


Like figuring out the world, whether I was the world or the world was I. Recognizing and familiarizing myself with faces, and appreciating the people who truly care and matter to you.

On a lighter note, happy happy birthday Daddy! I miss you so much. I can't wait till you get home. By then, this photo will reproduce itself, but will age by a generation. Hihi #PaCryptic Chos. Love you dad! Thank you for everything :)

To my super secret super fan, I love you! This post is not entirely about you (sorry to keep your hopes up haha) but I want you to know that I am simply happy because I have you now. :) #QuesoDeBola #Brie #Camembert #Gouda #Mozzarella #Parmesan #Feta Love you!

J

I have something new in my life. So new in fact, that the last time I had something like this was, let's say, never. You can't count what happened in grade school, we were kids, we played hide and seek; hid in the bushes, sought for our identities. Chos.

To finally knowing what love feels like on both sides. To give love, and have it returned a hundred fold. For knowing that it is not only you having butterflies, rainbows and unicorns. For knowing, and feeling that all this isn't just in your mind. It's real.

To finally having someone who wants to make you happy. To having someone who works hard to make you happier everyday, to exceeding expectations, and to simply be happy because of this person's existence.

To looking forward to the weeks, months, years, to a lifetime of all this "realness". To the plans we're making, and to the direction where we're taking "us" to. To whatever will happen, to however we get through things, to the tomorrow that we're never really sure of. It's comforting to know that despite all these uncertainties, right now, you're the only thing I'm sure of. Sabi nga ni Blaire Waldorf (pahiram muna te) "I'm in. I'm all in."

Barely a week, or a month, and I still haven't gotten the hang of it. I've been in a relationship with myself for too long, that having another physical human entity exist with you is so surreal. We are moving too fast. And I think partly because there is a deadline. 

But I am so in love, it is sickeningly mushy and disgustingly cheesy. I usually gawk at couples who can't keep their hands off each other in public places, but (I can't believe I'm saying this) I understand them now. Like you said, the world blacks out, and the only thing you see is me. And everytime you look at me, you look at me like I'm some scientific formula that only you have discovered, except that you look at me lovingly. Argh, I seriously haven't gotten the hang of it, so I'm sorry if I can't spoonfeed you without cringing under my dress, or if I distract myself with something else just so I can stop myself from stealing a kiss from you. I cannot help myself everytime I'm with you. I want to help myself with you. 

I know this is all too fast, but whatever, I love you J. I really do.

Better

That didn't all happen in just one night. I didn't notice things getting better for me. I'm much happier now, I think. I feel that things are going up from here, nothing to worry about, just keeping myself happy for the days to come.

And, just many other things that's has been making me smile lately. :)

Yay!
