Stop and smell some flowers!

*falls over*

So it's been a really long week. Scratch that. It's been a long year and it just started! I've been on the go since last summer and it finally caught up with me in the form of a light cold and sheer exhaustion.

But! There were good things that happened, great things happening, and even more awesome things to come! And I know you miss my emoji-bulleted posts, don'tchu? :D


gem My kuya and his fiancee finally set a date to their wedding! They asked me to a be a bridesmaid and I said ".....yes!" Well, first I made fun of him and then I agreed. Then they asked me to help out with the wedding....and I said yes. I know, I know. MOAR WEDDINGS! My second one for the year that I am IN.

flower And when I'm not doing wedding stuff (like all these bridal shows and fittings and walkthroughs at various venues), I'm off doing Fanime stuff. :D As you saw in my last post, An Cafe will be performing! I'm really excited about it! So much more to do though! But I'm sure my MusicFest team will do a fabulous job. But onto more meetings. :O I've got only 93 more days. Yikes!

onigiri I'm planning on taking a few classes in Advanced Excel and Beginning Access since I need to learn enough to get out of this job and into a different field. If I don't get the job, then I can use Access to keep track of all those wedding vendors.

hourglass I'm definitely learning better time management skills with being how busy I've been. So many people to do and things to see!!!

headphones I've been getting some new music! I absolutely love, love, love the b-sides to LIPS by KAT-TUN. And Protection by Everything But The Girl. Also, I'm in love with DBSK's T album. SO GOOD, U GAIZ. My favorite is Rainbow and Darkness Eyes. ♥

fish My godson remains absolutely adorable. I called him by his real name and he responds back with, "No, Auntie J! Call me FISHBOT!"

plane Next flight is out to see mousaPi and Koyamamama in April! :D So excited. I'll be in NYC on April 26th. So [livejournal.com profile] pinkpapyrus, [livejournal.com profile] x_ceasura, [livejournal.com profile] 4_03_am, [livejournal.com profile] tinyangl, [livejournal.com profile] procreational, and [livejournal.com profile] corimari, MARK THIS DATE because I'mma demand all of you join Beth, mousaPi, marksy, and I for dinner at the very least. OR ALL DAY OUTING or something. I also hope Mer can join in too! ♥

tttt <~ this emoji looks like a fence. :D

! I started last week's edition for [livejournal.com profile] smsummary! I need to finish it!

punch2 I think I may need to schedule a day where I am just lazy. Or pencil in a gourmet nap.

cake I've gone back to cutting out refined white sugar from my diet again. And I gave up coffee for Lent. Just watch me buy those bags of mini-Cadbury eggs and stare at them sadly for the next month. I'll probably eat them during Fanime to keep my sugar levels up and from the stress. a;sklfjas;lfk 94 more days!

D: I lost my favorite pair of earrings. Tabris got them for me while she was in Japan and I'm utterly heartbroken that they are gone. T_T I loved that pair of earrings a lot.

aquarius I feel like I'm having a lot of fun but sometimes, I think I'm just too overwhelmed with the desire to do everything all at once. One of these days, I'll stop and breathe in laziness for a full week. One of these days...

cherryblossom I'm excited! [livejournal.com profile] bluebyyou may be having a wedding this year (hopefully in JUNE)!! :D Third wedding whenever the date is finalized.

sparkles Then my schedule will look like this!
May - Fanime
June - [livejournal.com profile] bluebyyou's wedding
July - JAPAN with mousaPi to see Shabzy, Teej, and Rachel
August - [livejournal.com profile] veilsdegto's wedding
October - Fishbot's parents' wedding

SO BUSY, OMG!!!

lightbulb It's all rainy tonight and I have a few tealights lit and some Japanese incense burning. It smells wonderful. Also, I think I am addicted to Illumination's Pineapple Cilantro scent. SO GOOD.

hearts I've been slowly watching It Started With A Kiss with Ariel Lin, Joe Chang, and Jiro Wang. SO CUTE. However, the subs on these disks are HORRID. Absolute nonsense most of the time. But whatever, I am watching it and vowing to dl the fansubs of the second season which is still going on because YES, HELLO JIROOOOOO!!! Joe Cheng is cute when he smiles....whenever he does smile because he is like Tezuka (of Prince of Tennis) or Yonemura of Question? in this comedic drama. Always :|

phone3 I've named my blackberry "Shige-Dex". This name always makes me smile. I love it a lot. Now if only Opera Mini would work on the 8130 model. :| Oh well, Google sync makes it super awesome.

japanesetea Tea with my best friend a few weeks ago was fantastic. I sort of want to do it again.

sweat I keep forgetting what I want to write down. :/ I feel this is a sign of me getting old. D: Or that there are too many things catching my attention. :D



Off to BED now! ♥ Catch you lovelies soon!

I have no idea how you manage to do so many things and travel so much, but consider me suitably envious. *_*

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how I do it either!!!

But I've been really good about sticking to my NY Resolution of traveling more. :D

so many weddings. I barely do one a year and that is too much.

pineapple cilantro?

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been in so many in the past 5 years that a lot of my.friends say that I should go into wedding planning as a job or something.

I love weddings, though. They always make me happy in that joyful sort of way.

Yup! Pineapple cilantro smells really nice! I got one on a whim and now I want another candle!

April is still quite some time away but, OMG!! :D :D :D


Congratulations on your success with getting the Fanime things to work out! That's super. And I really hope you get to schedule in that lazy day you are talking about, cuz you sound unbelievably busy (and might collapse from all the overworking).

Your Shige-dex makes me smile, too. ♥

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
It is but still, it's closer than I think!

Thank youuuuu. I'm still working on a lot of things right now to make sure it runs smoothly in the end. :D

I am looking for a weekend to schedule and they are all getting BOOKED!!!!

Shige-dex is so awesome. *____* I love it.

I called him by his real name and he responds back with, "No, Auntie J! Call me FISHBOT!"
Oh1 That makes me think of my little cousin who sulked, cried on bed and made us get up to suitably apologize because my sister called him by his name and not 'Baby'.It was quite epic!

Jemz - how do you do so much? Reading your posts makes excited and i'm not involved xD Consider me quite jealous in that 'omg she's awesome way' way ♥

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
;aslkfj;aslkf. He's so adorably cute that it's hard to stay mad at him when he does something wrong.


uhhh. i don't sleep!!!! XD I try and multi-task but I do have a lot of things that have to be done. :/ no use putting off when i could just do it and be done with it.

[identity profile] phonestrap.livejournal.com 2008-02-20 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, exciting! However, I go to school out of state so I don't think I will be in NYC to meet up with you in April. DD: Sorry! ;__; I hope you will have lots of fun anyways. ♥

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 07:36 am (UTC)(link)

Your godson sounds ridiculously cute! You are so busy that it amazes me.

He's super adorable and such a charmer. Nearly 5 years old and knows how to work it.

<~ this emoji looks like a fence. :D
i love this random observation in the midst of everything else. I've only one question: is not supposed to be a fence?

Or that there are too many things catching my attention. :D
definitely this one.

[identity profile] swtjemz.livejournal.com 2008-02-22 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's a bunch of t's but I don't know! It totally looks like a fence!
