We Got Inked

One of the many things on my bucket list is to get a tattoo.  And finally I was able to do that a week after my birthday.  My husband and I decided on getting a couple's tattoo and we initially wanted to have a Latin verse tattooed as an anklet but then our tattoo artist suggested to have it on the lateral aspect of our foot.  Which may I say was a more brilliant idea!

We were both feeling anxious and excited at the same time.  I knew it was going to be painful but surprisingly the pain was tolerable enough for me to even think of getting another one in the near future.

After our tattoo session, a bit painful but happy with the result.

Guess who's feet belongs to who, lol!!

Amor Vincit Omnia... indeed Love conquers all :)

Paris on My Mind

My ultimate dream is to visit what I consider to be the most romantic city in the world, Paris.  

Have my photo taken with the  Eiffel Tower behind me,

 go on a Seine river cruise...

Eat french macaroons, 

coffee at a sidewalk cafe...

Visit the Louvre Museum...

But since that dream is somewhat elusive for now, I am content with just day dreaming and wishing that someday I can blog about the things I did in Paris ♥

On a day dreaming mode...

Day 24: What's New?!

Today I changed my blogger header.  I have been planning on it for quite sometime and at long last I was able to finish and happy with the outcome.

The original concept I had in mind was a sketch or drawing of a girl writing under the shade of a big tree and I wanted the name of my blog in hand-writing style.  Of course the girl on the sketch would be me, so my next problem was finding someone to sketch that picture I had in mind.  I initially contacted a friend who was very good at art, but never got to discuss the project in detail because of a conflict in schedule on my part so I proceeded with concept number 2.

I wanted a blog header that would somehow tell a story. So each picture on the header means something to me... a dream, a favorite thing, a hobby or a passion.

The Eiffel tower represents my ultimate dream.  I would really want to visit Paris someday, eat the original french macaroons and visit the famous Louvre museum.  I have a sweet tooth and I love to read books which explains the stack of books in between two cup cakes :) I could always rely on a cup of coffee to boost me up on occasions where I need to work for long hours.  The sea shell represents my love for the beach, music player because I love to listen to music and sing along with it too!  The lipstick, is my favorite beauty essential.  As they say, "put on a little lipstick and you'll be fine."

And lastly, I added an old photo of myself taken by a friend during an outing.  What I like about this photo is that it brings back funny and happy memories of that day.  It always reminds me to be thankful for the life that we have and to appreciate the  people that makes our life more meaningful.

No matter what you are going through, love your life and the people in it...

Forever Grateful...
