4 years and counting

For this month's entry, here are some photos from our 4th wedding anniversary on 8.15.11

We went on a dinner cruise which was lovely except for the ticket price and the "baby servings" of food, which was disappointing because the food was delish, and we wanted at least 5 more servings of each.


Brandon, eating as always. :D


He took this one. :)


Two things that take my breath away: my husband and sunset.


To add humor, here's a picture that John Freida could use as an ad for their anti-frizz (more like anti-crazy hair) products. Where was my ponytail when I needed it most? To the stranger who was sweet enough to offer to take this picture of us, if Google happened to send you to my blog and you're reading this post, THANK YOU for the favor...


...and to the waitress who took a few seconds of her busy working hours to take this shot.


And lastly, thank you sunset for making the night more romantic than it already was. We felt like Jack and Rose while standing on the deck and watching you fade away. Ha!

Out with the old, in with the new pictures

Brandon and I finally had our new pictures done (see the new side bar pictures?). We did them just inside the apartment and some in the backyard. We took turns taking each other's picture, and it ended up that I took more photos of him than he did of me. We took these pictures because the ones that were on the side bar were very old. The photos have to keep up with the new blog look, haha! So now it's just Wyatt's picture that needs to be updated although he's too cute in the one that I'm currently using in the side bar that it doesn't necessarily needs to be replaced.

But me and Brandon taking pictures of each other, believe me, isn't a fun thing for us to do and for other people to watch. lol. These pictures pretty much explain why, and give you an idea what it's like when Brandon and I are having our little "photo shoot". :D

He hates taking pictures and 5 minutes after the first shot, he goes "Can we already finish this please? Let's go!"

And I'm a whiny, picky subject.

"Bes, you're too far. Get closer!" (but smiled anyway)

"Camera's too high, bes. Lower it a bit!" (but smiled anyway)

That's why our pictures aren't always updated. I wonder if there are other couples out there who when it comes to taking pictures.

To close this post, I'll leave you with a pic of me and of B looking so tight. Haha!

Can't get enough of my husband's cuteness? lol. More pictures of him here.

An Umbrella for 2

Being newly wed, Brandon and I are going through the adventures of marriage. See, it's only been 8 months since that day we said "yes" to each other but our married life has already had different ups and downs. And like any another wedlock, ours is not perfect. But the good thing is after a fight and when apologies have been said, we do compromise. We learn more about ourselves after each let's-talk-about-it session and realize our mistakes. And we reward each other bear hugs after each misunderstanding resolved. All these, including problems have brought us closer. We've learned that when one of us hurts the other, though not intentionally, we shouldn't make room for grudges for we're not magkaaway but magkakampi. I hope that someday I could write a beautiful song about the fragile stage of our union, reflecting everything that we've gone through together. But for now there's one particular hit song that I've fallen inlove with since it came out. I love it not only because of its beat that makes me put my dancing shoes on but also because of the lyrics that seem to have been written for us. Kodus to Ms. Rihanna for these meaningful lines from her song Umbrella:

When the sun shines, we’ll shine together, told you I'll be here forever. Said I'll always be a friend took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end. Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella, you can stand under my umbrella.

You can run into my arms, it's okay don't be alarmed

Come into me

There's no distance in between our love

So go on and let the rain pour, I'll be all you need and more. ♥
