I Heart UK

Everyone has it's own likes, hobbies and collections. Some collects Hello Kitty items,  key chains, ref magnets, shoes and bags  among others. Mine are items with UK Flag on it. Every time I can see any thing that has a UK flag print, my heart screams with envy.  I started collecting some of those items back when I was in college. I really don't know the origin of this, all I can say is that one of my dream out-of-the-country travel destinations is Europe and obviously UK is in that country. Lame reason right? But that's all I can think of.


I was inclined to post this little craziness because my ever supportive friend Yay gave me something I so dearly adore-a bag and a shirt with a UK flag print (don't have the chance to take picture of it but I'll promise a separate blog post will be dedicated for that and all the items I currently have) . That feeling when you receive something when you least expect it---oh man that's extreme happiness.  If you are a collector of any items, you would know how it feels to get that particular item as a gift. Yay is super supportive, when I say supportive it means supportive in so many different ways (Yay, I know you'll be reading this--you know what I mean and thank you is not enough for all  your support). In fact, she's the reason why my desire for these items is now back on track.


I owned just few items as of this writing but the collector soul in me is still drooling for these items I've come across the World Wide Web specifically in the ever realiable GOOGLE.



Those valuable last few moments before your alarm wakes you, and when waking up is the hardest to do, that pillow above with a UK flag print on it's pillow case will surely inspire me not to wake up lazily.



Whew, a jaw dropping pair of flats. This pair is from London Sole. Would you believe it was made in honor of  one of the store's best customers Kate Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge)?  I browsed this information from here. Wearing one like this will surely give me the feeling of being regal. Dream on, girl!!!!



This pair of sunnies  is sooooo cute. Though you won't be seeing me wearing that if I have one,  I would still love to get one for my collection.



I can specifically remember that one of my dream cars (yes I've had so many material dreams and still counting, libre mangarap eh) is a big black land cruiser with a UK flag print on it like the one in that picture above.



My friends knew how I love traveling, both my eyes twinkle every  time I hear the word TRAVEL. Even my blog is a solid proof of my love to TRAVEL.  This trolley above is to die for and perfect for my coming trips. This Paul Smith bag is worth $139.58, too expensive for my standard, but who knows someday soon I can have one similar to this. *wink*



 I'd love to own 3 of these pens. But  the question is where can I get it? Hmmmm.



Isn't  this bracelet the cutest?



I died when I saw this swimwear!!!!!! I'm actually imagining walking in that powdery sand of Boracay (will be going there this August and October, WHEW)  wearing any of these 2 swim wears!!! It's  screaming of democracy.



And this pair of flip flops is perfect for that swimwears above.



Been scouting for a pair of shorts like that picture above for quite sometime now. Hmmm, I know one day I can have it.


I actually stopped from collecting these items but my lust to get most of them if not all didn't stop. I'm still waiting for the right time and right budget to splurge on these little craziness of mine.

Congratulations Julius and Hazel

The Magsacay-Arceo wedding (April 27, 2012)  is one of the most awaited events the group had been waiting for. We can't wait to see Hazel walk down the aisle to marry her man.


They got married after more than a year of being together.  The couple kept their  wedding simple yet fun, intimate but superbly memorable.


The Gown. The bride wore Joshua Guibone's creation, a close friend of the couple. Isn't it lovely wearing a gown with a personal touch from your friend?I adored the glamorous yet conservative look of her gown in the front.


But the real wow-factor is that revealing back, so fashionably chic.Nice gown, isn't it? Good job to the designer.


The ceremony. When Julius marched to the altar with his parents you would notice how happy, ready and proud he is. That picture above shows the face of a man so deeply in love. Haysst sarap magmahal!!!!


That moment when Hazel stepped out of her bridal car and was ready to walk the aisle, everyone in the church got speechless. She's  absolutely exquisite,  her sophisticated look made her a queen  in her own unique way. As she approached her parents we got teary eyed. I know it was tears of  joy coz we know they both deserve each other. Look at that smile!!!!! Need I say more what is that wide smile for? Finally "king" Julius brought her queen to his parents before heading to the altar for the blessed sacrament of matrimony.


The Reception Hall 



A permanent stage with unique decor



Uniquely lit banquet hall



Flower arrangements were simple, adding beauty to the refreshing atmosphere.




Think the prettiest neutrals, the softest florals and the most delicate decor. Think cosy chic. That's how I describe the hall.


The Program



Best man, Groomsmen, Maid of honor and bridesmaids were dancing as they entered the hall,  signaling the entrance of the newly wed couple.



Julius' face is screaming with happiness. He's all smiles all throughout the ceremony and the program.



Couple's first dance. I super duper love this captured moment!!!! Julius looking so passionately to his wife and Hazel locked her hands so tightly around her husband's neck. Waaaaaaah *inggitmode*


Pictorials.



Meet these ladies with the newly wed. I simply love how we all looked like we're all bridesmaids. LOL  These are the same faces who threw Hazel's bridal shower, read it here.


While everyone's ready to smile for the camera, the bride playfully passed in front of us and that brought out a good, hearty laugh from her husband.




The couple's friends!!!! These guys for sure are busy in their own lives but without hesitation reserved this date just for the two. It goes to show that the couple is loved by many.



Congratulations Mr and Mrs Magsacay. You truly deserve each other after that not-so-good experience you've had from your past relationships.  Keep on loving each other. Don't let trials make you weak.


It is such an honor to be part of your memorable day.


Thank you Allene, Sheila and Jacko for the pictures. I grabbed it from your FB albums.
