Sometimes a little creativity is necessary

I've been missing my space lately. Not cause of our new apartment is small, I love it! But because I used to Paint in this particular section of my room and now that I've moved I can't find that special corner in our new place, just yet.
So what I've come to the conclusion is I'm going to bring out my Holga from the closet and do some serious creative photographs over the holiday break.
I used to constantly be taking pictures with it..none of this digital crap that you can cheat and delete pictures if you don't like them..it's the hardcore, back in the day photography of just talent. And I miss it!

So time for the HOLGA!

The Happy Couple

Husband and Wife!

Getting Back to Reality as a Married Woman

Sooooooooooooo...

I'm back from a very extensive, very wonderful, very relaxing honeymoon vacation. Officially I was away from work 25 days! Away from a place where I enjoy to go everyday only because the people are so great. So being away from work was tough, but not that tough ;)

But now I have joined the legions of many women in Marriage. Strange.

Simply put, it is a strange concept for me to grasp. So far, it's great though. I love it.

ok.. well, this entire post isn't me drowning out the chatter with my ideals in marriagehood.. There's more to my posting. I get home from the honeymoon to find this amazing commercial!! It just inspires me from the first frame that plays. And I couldn't help but show it off!




SO CUTE!

A New Day .. A New Outlook on Marriage

For those of you who did not know, growing up, I have never been the type of girl who wanted to get married. I loved the thought of marriage and wished it would happen, but I never thought I would actually experience it myself. So when I actually met and fell in love with Paul, I knew all my previous philosophies and thoughts flew right out the window.

Now I can't wait to be married. The wedding is just something extra for us to experience with everyone we care about, but being married, is what I'm looking forward to. And with 15 days looming away, that's two weeks (exactly tomorrow) before the start of a new life.

Mostly everything is paid off or bought, preparations are getting completed for the big day, and Halloween is right around the corner! Exciting times

Seconds ticking away

Ok well, lately my fiance and I have been ramping up wedding planning, building, creating like crazy. But as the wedding finally approaches, I feel myself get uninspired. Who knows what is going to happen or finish. After spending time with my Mom, Paul and my Maid of Honor this weekend shopping in Downtown LA and later that same night with my family at a dinner held exclusively for Paul and me, I feel completely lucky to have such great support in my life. I love these people!

Just look at these great sports in the jungle of my mom's truck!

EY EY EY... Marc Jacobs

I need to be looking at something pleasant today. How cute is Marc by Marc Jacobs.. YUM..I love it, it reminds me of Summer Gelato flavors.

Malt O Meal how dost thou disappoint me

I'm big on breakfasts lately, I guess its cause I can walk into work knowing our fully stocked kitchen will nourish me with all the greatest delicacies . However, today I brought in Malt-o-Meal from home. Not just any type of flavor, but CHOCOLATE!! ahhh..how this warm breakfast takes me back a few (not so long ago) years to my childhood. :)

I was craving the warm cereal until I made it in the microwave at work - without any measuring tools to guide my estimations. So it came out all chunky and burnt and not at all what I imagined from Fall in front of the Saturday morning cartoons. I know if I had made it at home, the outcome would have been drastically different, but for today, I'm no longer craving chocolate Malt-O-Meal. I'll still have nostalgic feelings toward

you though!

Itching to Travel

Something overwhelming has taken over. Lately, I've been wanting to Travel. Not just have a road trip but full on "whip out the passport, go through Customs" Traveling. And recently I've been wanting to go to Madeira! AHH..Just thinking of old world customs, flower pots in balcony windows, old people sitting out side of bars and cafes, it all just gets to me.

Madeira! *sigh*

Oh Boy..I'm becoming one of those people

When I say I'm becoming one of those people, I'm referring to the collecting type, the toy collecting type, the "I clutter my desk with themed toys", I groan and sigh. I don't want to collect things, it's just friends give me things. I'm not a specific tv show/cartoon/movie type of person, but recently, you'll find things on my desk or in my office which will tell you otherwise. My warning sign, when I find something somewhere and want to buy it specifically for my office other than a mirror or notepad, or filing system. If it's for desk decoration, like a miniature action figure, throw me an intervention please, cause I've just crossed over.

Wedding Website

So it's not really completed or cute.. but Paul & I have a wedding website up and running. Funny thing is, we both want to change everything about it and there's only 24 days till the wedding, a bit ridiculous if you ask me. But we'll see what happens.
