Modern, Chic, Contemporary

I've always been a big fan of European art and architecture. I have always wished to live in Europe where the life is slower paced and closer to "culture". I have experienced living in different countries and because of this I probably have a broader view of what kind of lifestyle I really want. I like the artsy fartsy lifestyle of Parisians and the romanticism. I like the renaissance and classical lifestyle of Italians. I like modern and new world art of Finns and Swedish. Maybe I was really meant to move to Europe. Haha.

My fascination and admiration for European stuff is not confined with architecture, buildings and monuments. I love european Home Furniture at Spacify! Can you just imagine how excited I was when I saw these modern contemporary european dining room furnitures and bedroom sets?! I just wanted to buy them and furnish my own apartment. Now I have to keep on blogging to afford these. Hehe.

It's Been A Year

It's been a year since I first met that guy who swept me off my feet. Wala lang... just wanted to share.

To the guy who's making me happy right now,

I never really thought I would find someone I can just talk to about anything, someone who would always pull me close to him to lie down on his shoulders, someone who would just laugh at the silliest things, someone who would not judge me when I am PMS-ing. Thank you for a year of funny, crazy adventures with you. Thank you for coming into my life and always making me feel special and cared for.

I'm so in love. =)

I Can't Believe I'm Talking About This

At this point in your life, when someone asks you to marry him, what would be your answer?

For someone who never really imagined herself getting married, a "yes" isn't exactly the easiest answer to give. Well, I don't think he was super, super serious when he asked. I guess it was more of "i-want-to-test-you" kind of question.

Ok, ok!!! I asked him if he would allow me to move back to the Philippines. He said he doesn't want me to leave and he would prefer if I settle in the US. And then I told him that my visa is expiring next summer and I don't want to be bonded again for 3 more years if I choose to get my greencard through my current employer. And then he just said, if we get married before that, you'll stay here right?! As much as I hate to make my visa and citizenship status be the reason why I will be getting married, I guess I may have to reconsider that. Argh!!!

Before you make any assumptions that I manipulated him into asking me that question, fyi, this isn't the first time we talked about marriage. This is probably the Nth time.

I have a great guy who wants to marry me. I know he loves me and I do love him too. But then how do you know he's the right one? How do you know when you're ready to give up the freedom of singlehood? How do you know when you're ready to live the "plus 1" life? Of course I want to be with this someone. But then again, is it the right time?
