I'm really bad when it comes to keeping up with this journal. *sighs* It's been a really long time since I last sat down and went through my friends pages. In reality, it's been a long time since I've gone through my old routine. I miss it. Going by the beach for a walk, swimming and all those things. I like New York but I still miss home. I think I might take Julia with me and we might go visit California this weekend. I don't know. Hmm.
So. Describe your life right now in one word.

Since we got married, it seems like I've been ignoring or postponing writing in this journal. Was it the busy schedule? Or the married life? Or was it just simply that I got tired?
The real answer is this: Julia's pregnant. Yes, I'm about to be a father and for the past few weeks, we've been stuck between feeling happy and shocked. It's not a false alarm this time, we're both going to be parents and I've been busy taking care of her. See, Julia has these times when she craves for weird food. One time, she woke me up at 3 am asking for Chinese food!It took me about 30 mins just to find a restaurant that's open 24 hours! *laughs* The doctor said that it's just a phase. I hope so ;)
Well, now that we've both been "broken into" preparing for a child, I think that we can both go back to our regular routines. We both miss the fast paced life and I think we're about ready to get back into it. Of course, she still needs to rest and all that.
I have to end this here, I hear her calling me, maybe for one more errand of some sort. Im really not complaining, I'm just happy that I'm not the one who's going to give birth!

Why do people look up when they think? I've always wondered that. Actually, I've wondered about so many things. But most of them are stupid stuff anyway so it wouldn't matter if I posted it here.
I've been watching a lot of TV because of the Olympics. I've been a couch potato since it started. Julia's actually starting to get irritated but, oh well, this phase of mine won't last long.
If you could change 1 event in your life, what would it be?

Being married and working at the same time does take a lot of work. Take it from me. It's been almost a month since I tied the knot with Julia and what a month it has been! We've each had our moments. You know, arguments, disagreements, make-ups
and sweet times. We've had to compromise on a lot of things. From her waking up too early to our choice of bed comforters. But of course in the end, we manage to work things out. I think that's what's so great about love. There are set rules but sometimes you bend them, and sometimes you break them but in the end if the two of you compromise, things will be OK. So to all of you who are happily married or who are getting married, Congratulations. =)
P.S. Good luck Team USA

I couldn't have pictured a more perfect wedding than the one that took place today. Everything was just right. The Church was gorgeous. The flowers and decorations were beautiful. All our family and friends were happy. And I married the most amazing woman on earth. *smiles* And now, all the worries are over. All the late night calls and arguments about decorations are done with. Now is the time to relax. Thanks to all of you who attended our wedding. We appreciate it very much.
So how's everybody doing? What have you been up to people?
I had an awesome time last Saturday with Greg and all the other people who attended our party. Greg, you still owe me! ;) We're flying to France on Sunday and we'll be here in Europe for 1 more weeks. After that, we're back to the US. Well, more substantial update later.
P.S. I love you baby <3 and thanks for the awesome layout!

It's been awhile since I've updated. I think it's because of summertime. I'm getting really really lazy. And I needed that break. But now I think I'm good and I'll update some more. I'll try not to bore you guys with stories about wedding preparations and the like. I'll spare you those details. ;) But in case you're wondering, preparations are going well and I can't help but feel nervous. But then again, who wouldn't?
So anyways, it's the 4th of July weekend. Is anyone having a party? I don't know where I'll be, but I'll figure out something.
Greg call me about our b-day plans, ok? ;) Well, I'll end here. Later.

Father's Day has past and I could honestly say it was well spent here. We had lunch with my family. We ate at a Japanese restaurant and to my amusement my brother-in-law had difficulty with maneuvering the chopsticks. He got the hang of it after awhile though. Good thing he did, otherwise we would have been there for a pretty long time.
Like so many Father's Day, I couldn't pick the perfect present for my dad. I'm sure he wouldn't have minded but I wanted him to feel really special. It's not about how expensive the gift is. It's more about what the gift would mean to him. So I got him a set of books that are considered Classic. Of course the set wasn't complete for there are far too many Classic books out there, but at least it was a start. I got him Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist , Upton Sinclair's The Jungle , Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein . By the look on his face, I could tell that he liked them and I am glad. :)
We're headed back to NY on Thursday. I think Julia's family is preparing a post-Father's Day surprise for her dad and I'd love to see the look on his face. ;) We're going house hunting at last! That should be fun! :D Not that calling flower shops and caterers and jewelry shops aren't fun. I just feel like house hunting would be far more exciting.
Baby last night was great. It felt good to stop for awhile, drop wedding preparations for one night and just be together again. I'm so excited for, let's see..7 days...Sunday. ;) Whatever happens, happens love. But I'll be there for either. We're in this together *mwah* <3 I love you baby.

What a busy but eventful day. Actually, make that a busy and eventful week. We've been busy with wedding preparations. The date has been set - July 23. The invitations have been sent also, at least most of them. We'll check our list again tonight or tomorrow to see if we're missing anybody. In the frenzy of all things, it's very easy to forget something or someone. Hopefully all our double checks will prevent that. My mom is taking care of the caterer. She knows this chef in England who owns a restaurant there. He's flying in next week so that we can talk about the menu. We're both excited about that. Her mom is taking care of the florists and we both have full confidence in her.
This day like I said has been very eventful, not only because it's a day closer to our wedding but because it's our 3 month anniversary. *smiles* Time goes by quickly when you're with someone you love. Well, as my surprise for her, I secretly talked to her father on the phone. It was a man to man talk if you could say that. It was a very long talk too. Our conversation wasn't boring or quiet. In fact, we talked for a whole 2 hours. He asked me a lot of questions. I'm not complaining since by the fact that I called him, I should've expected him to ask me things. We ended the conversation on a good note though. He understood that I really love his daughter and that I'd do anything for her. He knew that I called him to really ask for his permission to marry his little angel. Not that I needed to because we would have gotten married anyway, but because I wanted to and because I knew that it was the right thing to do. We talked and we bonded. It was a great moment. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
A couple of hours ago, my future father-in-law and his family arrived here at LA. That was my surprise to her. I knew it meant a lot to her that her father agree with us being together. I really appreciated how she said yes to having an early wedding despite her dad's disapproval. I knew she was doing it for me, for us and that made me happy, really happy. But I also wanted her to be happy and I want her wedding day to be memorable and I knew it wouldn't be without her dad's blessing. So now as I write this, my family and her family are all out in the living room, looking at catalogs, punching numbers in the calculator, talking to each other, just bonding together. I can also see her from where I'm sitting and I can't help but smile as I see her smile herself. She's happy and I'm glad. I plan to make her happy for the rest of my life. I love you honey. Happy aniv baby. <33

Have you ever had that feeling that somethings wrong but you have no clue as to what it is? And that the more you try to find out, the worse the situation gets? Ok...I don't know what's going on but something's very wrong....and it's very frustrating cause I can't freakin' figure out what it is! Damn! *sighs*

Sleeping in feels so good. *smiles* For a change, Julia's out today, shopping with my sister. (Maybe I should be scared now that the two of them are starting to bond!) I'm just happy that the two of them are finally getting along. See, my sister's very protective and they had a bit of misunderstanding, but I'm not in liberty to discuss it so you'll have to hear it from Julia. :)
Just in case you're wondering, the dinner with my family went great! She was very nervous to tell my folks. Her hand was entwined with mine the whole time while we were eating. It was actually funny because I had to eat with my left hand and I was a bit of a slob but it's my family anyways! *laughs*
Yesterday, we spent a day in the park. It was the perfect day to go out too. The sun was out but it wasn't too hot and the park wasn't crowded. We rode our bikes, played frisbee, played catch with the football (that girl has an arm!!) and took turns in reading to each other. That was probably my favorite part, just laying on her lap with her stroking my hair. Simple things like that are often overlooked but it's those simple things that spice up the relationship. <3
Few shout outs before I end this :
Special shout-out to Jesse
and Jaime It's always fun chatting with you guys. Oh, and Jaime, the chocolate hoo hoos are not in my comment link anymore. ;) Greg, you have got to call me and you still owe me a million dollars bro! Lauren, I am coming over in awhile to assist in painting your kitchen. What color did you pick again? some shade of blue right. Why blue? I think it has something to do with you're favorite cartoon character/s. :P *grins*
( Lauren's favorite blue-critters/greatest fear are the... )
and last but not the least, hello to my lovely baby. I miss you. <3

Back in LA. What's new? Nothing really. My house looks the same, except for the new locks that my overprotective sister has placed. (I still love her though :D ).
So, I was browsing through my Friends List today and it looks like I've missed quite a lot while we were away in NZ. Sorry for that, I needed the 4 day break. Julia and I both needed it. And now we're back, and I'm getting ready to start working again. It's a good thing that I only work during the day so that I could spend some time with my fiancé. I'm so glad that she's staying with me. And I'm still overwhelmed by this whole engagement. But I know I made the right choice. <3
OK. So to those who want to hang out, who want to talk, who want to have coffee or to those who have absolutely nothing to do, give me a call. :P Ok. That's it for now. She's sleeping and I don't want to wake her up.

Never underestimate the power of words. They can crush your heart or bring life to your soul. They're so powerful that sometimes, they can even do both. Words can make you cry, mad, scared, happy and even loved. Yes, actions speak louder than words but words still count.

Yes, I'm back at LA. But I won't be here for long. I will be leaving on Wednesday night to go to NZ for Anna and Nate's wedding. :D I'm very excited and honored to be invited. That should be fun. :)
LA is still LA. It's always busy and everything is fast paced. Fast cars, fast food, heck everything's fast. But I think that's one of the reasons that I like it here. The fast life in LA can be my refuge sometimes, from my own self, from the things that I have to deal with that I probably don't like to deal with. LA covers that up for me sometimes and for those times, I'm very thankful But of course, when did avoiding something ever work? Haha. So, I still have to deal with my personal issues. But I stil like the fact that LA will always be there just in case I need another break.
Well, I think I'm going to get some shut eye. I have a 6 am meeting tomorrow. If anyone wants to give m a wake up call, it would be appreciated. :D

2 months. it's truly amazing how fast time has gone. she's been my girlfriend for already two months. wow. but then again, it's not the time we spent together, it's the memories of the times that we have been together. you could love someone for your whole life but not be able to share everything with that person. on the other hand, you can know a person for a day and share your innermost feelings with that someone and that makes it worthwhile.
2 months. i have a feeling that some people are expecting me to give a surprise..a party or a vacation. a getaway perhaps? but no. :D no surprises this time. we're really planning on taking things slow...and this is a start. however, i did manage to make a poem for her
Top 13 Reasons Why I Love You
I love you because you're always there
Every special moment I have, it's with you I wish to share
I love you because you always believe in me
& with that thought in mind, now my dreams I can reach and see
I love you because you give your full trust
You never doubted me, believing , for you, is a must
I love you because of your charming smile
Whenever I'm with you, everything is worthwhile
I love you because you're always thoughtful
Never forgetting the special things, and ever oh so beautiful
I love you because you always understand
Hard things may come our way but I'm sure I'm safe in your hands
I love you because you're so sweet
In our everyday affairs, you make my life complete
I love you because of your honesty
I know you'd never lie and surely your heart is with me
I love you because of the way you hold my hand
It's like nothing else matters cuz i know you'd understand
I love you because of the way you kiss
You make me feel heaven, it's like im in a bliss
I love you because of the way you say my name
You say it with such tenderness. Now i know this isn't a game
I love you because you're always concerned about me
Always minding my actions, my mistakes you let me see
I love you because as far as I can see and recall
There's absolutely no reason for me not to love you at all!
You know who you are. I <3 You.

"You know you love someone when you could watch that person sleep for hours without getting bored"
I admit my friend had a good point when he said that. So with that in mind, as I lay here beside her, watching her breathe, admiring her features and inhaling her unique scent, I know that I'm really in love. I can sit here and stare at her for hours, for days, for months and not get bored. Just the simple thought that she's beside me sends shivers throughout my whole body.
This weekend has been nothing but wonderful. Spending time with her is always wonderful but in some aspects this weekend has got to be the best weekend so far. we communicated in a way that we've never done before. i felt like i was in a fairy tale, trapped with this princess of my dreams. except, now that i look at her and touch her, i know that it's not a dream and i feel so much more grateful.
i don't know exactly what i did to deserve someone like her. someone who understands the concept of give and take, forgive and forget, honesty and trust. well, whatever it is i did, im glad i did it cause im so happy to have her as my girlfriend and i will forever be grateful to her for always being there for me and for loving me for who i am. i love you baby.
as i end this post, she's still peacefully sleeping beside me, and im still going to continue watching her until the wee hours of the morning cause sometimes, the simplest things bring the most joy.
