Hooray for Life at Home

A trip to Singapore will not be complete without a visit to Ikea!  A week ago, Ferdie and I had the chance to quickly drop by Ikea and got some Ikea essentials and a couple of things for our Angel Bianca.  I say essentials because I promised I will not shop for anything that I don't need!  It was so tempting.  But I did it... I was a good girl!

Ikea at Alexandra  *  Kids' favorite cookie crisps  *  I missed you daim cake!

1  Tea towels -- this new fabric will definitely add color to my kitchen!
2  Tealights, big and small -- can't have enough of these votives.
3  Paper napkins and muffin liners -- don't you just love the prints?
4 & 5 -- Mirror and alarm clock for Bianca's room

2011 Catalogue:  Hooray for life at home!  
Got to have the newest catalogue.  My oldest collection of the catalogue dates back to 1999!  I have seen how this catalogue became smaller and shorter every year!

While my taste in design and decor have evolved over the years, my love and need for Ikea has remained constant all these years.  Ikea stuff is just so practical and affordable!  Although there are distributors now in Manila, shopping inside the Ikea store is still a different experience altogether, not to forget the comfort food we have learned to love in their cafe.  After Muji, I hope Ikea will be next!  Is that a wishful thinking?  I really think Manila is ready for Ikea!  Don't you think?


While we are on the topic of Ikea, come visit Ikea Family Live.  It's an inspiring website that showcases real people, real families in their real Ikea homes.  I'm sure you will love it!  Check it now and get tons of ideas and inspirations! Hooray for Saturday!  And as the 2011 Ikea catalogue says...Hooray for Life at Home!

A Blissful 911

The reason for our short Singapore getaway last weekend was to attend the wedding of our very good friend Jasmin.  Last Saturday, 911, Ferdie and I, together with 48 other guests (yes, it is so heart warming to be part of this intimate celebration!) boarded the Nymphaea to witness the union of Jasmin and Carlos.  From now on, I will remember 911 in a whole different meaning... a sublime day of intimacy, love, family and friendship.  I just have to share some photos to you, my dear readers, so you too can feel the love...

Of course, you need a boarding pass to go to a wedding cruise!

Carlos, nervously reviewing his speech...

The Ceremony...short but sweet!

More snapshots...

And they lived happily ever after...

This is one celebration I will always remember.
Jasmin, my very dear friend is like my younger sister
I've witnessed how she fell in love, fell out of love, and now...
I only wish her to be forever in love with Carlos!
 I am still feeling the thrill and excitement up to this moment...
I wish to hold on to it as long as I can...
May we all feel like newly-weds everyday!

Have a blissful Tuesday!
