In case you haven't heard!

I have copied and pasted this quote a million times and yet every time I read it my heart smiles and I am reminded of the fact that I am lucky to have found someone who I am ready to share the rest of my life with...

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.- Louis de Bernières, Corelli's Mandolin

If you don't follow me on my social media accounts then you probably don't know that We're Officially ENGAGED!!! Yes, officially. :D It's a long story and maybe we'll wait til the wedding to tell people about our journey to here or maybe well just keep it to ourselves but the important thing to take away from this is the fact that WE'RE GETTING MARRIED! 

I am overwhelmed with the response we got when we announced our engagement. :D It made the engagement even more special. :D Thank you to everyone who liked, commented, SMSed, messaged, tweeted and shared with us the happiness and excitement the next few months will bring leading up to the big day! That's right folks, after all the teasing and nudging it's really happening.

By this time I can already picture our friends as they sigh and say "finally" and I must admit that it's been a long time coming. But I am a firm believer that everything happens at the right time and we can't rush God's timing. All in His time. And right now feels perfect for us. 

I'm so full of energy right now and there's so many things I still have to do. I can finally start calling everyone, rally the troops as they say. It's crunch time! :D So I'm off, to plan and panic and plan some more.

Weeeee...We're getting married!!! 

The Little Things :D

Since the boyfriend officially started his Residency I feel like I never get to see him when in fact we still see each other everyday except for duty days which is every 2 days. What sucks though is that he always seems to be soooo tired...no rest for the weary. So instead of heading out we usually end up staying home listening to music, catching up on shows and movies or sleep.

Most often than not he always has work to do since you don't really have much time to sit at a desk when you're at the hospital. So we spend our quality time sitting in bed doing his census. Time well spent. :D

Why did I decide to write about this all of a sudden. Because I realized that in the past 2 months I've learned to appreciate the little things more and more. :D

So here's to the little things...like having dinner, going to the grocery, having our hair cuts together and finishing our work together. It's the little things that make the world the amazing place that it is. :D

Here's to more Valentine dates! :D

The little things...

Sometimes when life gets too fast paced and there are too many things going on and everything just seems to be too big you tend to forget about the little things. That's what happened to me last week. Friday was a very emotional day filled with disappointments add to that the fact that I was being very hormonal. It was dramafest all over. But then before sleeping I prayed about it and woke up feeling a tad better.

Life is filled with disappointments, there are just some things beyond my control. When I woke up I reminded myself that what I did control was how I would react to things. Happiness is always a choice. And though I must admit that it took me most of the day just sitting around watching Shameless before I decided to get up and move to the bedroom to take a nap. Haha...to give you perspective, the bu just got in from duty and was napping too so I didn't want to disturb his nap by waking him up. See, sooooo thoughful. I managed to snap myself out of all the drama.

When everything seems to be going wrong the best way to deal with it is to remind yourself that no one is more in control of your happiness than yourself. After an extremely sad end to my work-week my weekend was awesome because it's the little things that make life worthwhile. Take for example spending the entire weekend with my now public servant bu. Finally getting to watch a movie that you've both been raring to catch. Being even more impressed with the movie despite the already high expectations. Spending time with your godchildren even if it was just for a little while. All awesome things packed into an awesome weekend.

Without the hardships, disappointments, heartbreaks I would have never been able to appreciate things the way I appreciate them now. Never loose sight of the little things because in the end, it's really the little things that make life awesome. Here's the looking forward to more weekend breaks with the bu. :D

Focus.

You know that feeling when you have soooo many things to do and sooooo many commitments to juggle and in the process you keep forgetting to do things that are important. Gaaaah, I want to bonk myself in the head sometimes.

That big change in my life is starting to stress me out. I think it's time to call in the troops! Me needs some help! :O It's crazy that it feels like the list of things to be done just keep getting longer and longer. I need to sit and list down all the things that need to be done, prepared and finalized. We can do this. FOCUS!
