Baby, did you forget to take your meds?

I've been all the afternoon around the city with Laia today, talking about something big that it's happening tomorrow...

(wanna know what? keep reading here!)

You can guess by the title of this post what I'm talking about...

yes, Placebo :). It's gonna be my third time, and I'm really happy... because, you know what? One of my favourite bands it's playing with them: The Last 3 Lines.

I made a few months ago a great interview to them, so I'll release it really soon!!

Tomorrow I'm not taking the big camera with me, so I'm sorry if I don't bring excellent pictures (as usual) from the concert... but it's a big place, and I don't feel safe with the reflex with me!!

But I'll enjoy the concert, of course :)

Btw, these days I'm a little bit busy, because my friend Sergio, from Murcia (the owner of Skins, el blog) is here at home with me... and we've been making some meetings!

More news soon!

i'm a fragile person, and sometimes, i'll burst out too.

it's Monday and things seems to be so wrong at the beginning of the day, or should i say at the beginning of the week? but, it ends up better. what if, u woke up in the morning, and the 1st thing u heard was a very bad news from a phone call from ur officemate? horrible wasn't it? well, that was mine, as for today.

it's complicated and let me try 2 make it easier - S called me, and told me a cameraman (D) call her. D told her, that i've got an assignments (news) to be cover. 730am was the call time (thats an hour b4 the function begin) and, since i was absent yesterday, i asked a friend of mine (O) to check out my schedule for today. (we need to check our assignment a day before) and it ends up with --no assignment.

and so, i do really have no idea about the assignment given. and i have to call O, i called S, as well as D, and our editor. yeah, i sound stupid when i told them that i really3 have no idea about the assignment. it's almost 8 o'clock an we're running out of time. i can't make it on time. 2 be honest, i'm freaking afraid. i'm afraid of not knowing bout the assignments, am scared of messing up with the cameraman (D) and things i afraid the most was to inform my editor... =( i'm sorry sir.

and the worst part is -- to be blame, to feel guilty, and sucks, idiot, frustrated with myself, and useless. i know things happened, shit happened, but this simple stuff did messing me out. i'm totally down and cry. a lot. alone. i guess i'm the worst employees u'll ever met. the thing is, i'm a practical student and ppl, will always take advantage of every silly stupid mistake u made. ;(

ok, enough with that. i don't even know if anyone could understand what am i trying to share. later that day, with a very last minute plan, i went to mid valley and finally i was able to smile for a while. thank you dear sherry & naiya. love D12 the most lah!

naiya's mum send us to LRT station.

breakfast. super cool aite? '-___-''

the very 1st moment when sherry shows up.

dull mid valley - around 12pm.

1st time - the spaghetti farm

the naughtiest among D12

trying to light up my day

wuhoo. 5 of us. eh, 3!

simple life quotes. -MPH

quotes notebook -MPH

quotes collections -MPH

yeah i know it's pathetic that i bought 3 items from MPH and it is all about life quotes. i guess u can imagine how much i need those positive energy right now.

not to forget, i had my very 1st 3D movies! yeay! toy story 3. toy story 3 was very nice. with those friendship, and life value. it's really meaningful. right movie to watch, just in time.

also bought revlon liquid eyeliner + cotton on dress. went back to naiya's around 7pm, and i sat in the car, cry again while talking to mr barney. wuwuwu~ thanks dear for those wise words & support ;)

i'm healing. i have to.

Wedding Day Reflections

 It's time for the Completing Him Challenge again today. This week we are remembering our wedding day and the vows that we said to each other. So here are some pictures from our wedding day.

We were married on a very humid and hot Ohio day of August 27, 2006. There was 80% chance of rain that day and I hardly slept the night before because our wedding was, of course, outside!! I think everyone was praying that the rain would hold off. Our wedding rehearsal was poured on and so I was praying literally all day that the rain would not come till 3:00pm (our wedding was set to begin at 1:30pm).

 We made it through the first set of pictures with blue sky and very sticky temperatures. While waiting for the wedding to start I sat in a friends car with the air conditioning at full blast!

And then 1:30 came and the wedding began! I remember thinking not to look at my mom while walking down the aisle because I knew she would be crying and I didn't want to start crying either!

David wrote our vows for that day. I thought I had a copy of them somewhere, but I couldn't find them. However, I know he did a very nice job and it meant a lot to me, because I knew that he meant every word, and so did I.

So after three long years of waiting, we were finally married! During the last few minutes of the ceremony we started to hear thunder. We were able to take a few pictures of us together and then we jumped into the car to drive to the reception. As soon as we pulled out of the driveway of the park, the heavens let loose! Praise the Lord, the rain had been held off for our day!
