Big plans.

Well, it's been a long while. I even forgot my blog link. Hah!


Just last night, I was in a frenzy to start researching for the wedding preparations. I've no idea why it only started last night, but thank God for that cos I realized that there's more to it than what I expected.

I am no professional planner and the plans that I made previously weren't exactly fantabulous either. Let alone a wedding to plan on my own. Just for the record, I take no full credit in this whole preparation. There are kind souls out there who are hitching a ride in the "preparation train" with me. And for that, I am most grateful.

Truth be told, nothing has been decided in proper. There are just so many things that I want for the wedding but I know I can't have them all. :(

We're still saving up for our big day. Somehow, I feel that our wedding is gonna be awesome. It's not gonna be super grand or anything like that. It's gonna be simple, and very very personal. I just have no idea how a simple wedding is gonna cater to about 1200 people. :(

You know what, I think I have to literally pen down the names of the people I'm inviting. Rest assured, my dear close friends are gonna be on top of the list. :)

Here's a few pictures that I came across last night. I'm looking at a garden-themed wedding. Beautiful colors I found here, but still undecided. O.o

Words.

A long while ago I used to make it a point to blog every now and then, forcing him to blog too. Sometimes he would, and at times, well, he's just too tired. But that's okay,I know how hard he's been working so I let the matter drop. Plus, it wasn't as if I had plenty of time to write too.

Now, whenever he does write, it comes as a pleasant surprise. Hmm, maybe he does that on purpose. Hehe. Cheeky.

I went to the library a few days ago and 2 books managed to catch my eye. In particular, a novel by Carlos Ruiz Zafon titled 'Shadow of the Wind'. I finished it just last night and borrowed another one of his books, with a pretentious aim to finish reading all of his other books by the end of this year. I was almost obsessed with his books.

Ruiz made me realize that words do have an impact in the lives of others. It can be in a form of a magazine, a newspaper, a letter or even a book. Writers in the earlier days have little recognition and the impact of words in those times were, well, rather indifferent.

Now, we have the luxury of various writing platforms and the gift of education to fortify the impact of our words. We take for granted this universal language. We aren't doing enough to further enlighten ourselves in language per say. Not even myself. Well, I give myself a peace of mind by reading, to say the very least, and I'm intending to pick up another language, if I can.

I have the littlest foundation on French and I understand that there is not a remarkable difference between French and Spanish. (like Mandarin to English) There are similarities with the English language too! Hopefully, I am able to grasp the basics of Spain's beautiful language and travel without any worry about language barriers. :)

Food for thought: what other languages would you like to pick up? :)

Good night.

I have no clue what's wrong with myself. Maybe I'm a little dramatic, maybe I'm a little unreasonable, or maybe I'm just sensitive. Or maybe it's my mood swings.

Funny how one can mess things up with the intention of making things right. When you're on a close lookout for the mines and instead of defusing it, you stepped on another mine hidden beside it. Then you blow everything up and hurt everyone in the process, including yourself. Then you feel terrible and guilty for stepping on that stupid mine despite knowing it was an accident. But the people you hurt are blaming you. After all, you were the one who stepped on that bomb. Can't possibly blame anyone else right?

Who would want to hurt the person they love the most? All you wanna do is try your hardest to make sure everything is in tip-top condition for him/her.

Ever had the feeling where you wanted to try to be the best for someone you love?

That feeling where you feel like he/she deserves perfection, and you want to be perfect for him/her.

And then that feeling when you make a mistake and he/she looks at you with disappointment.

Yeah.. Well it sucks..

I'm exhausted. From crying.

It's been two days in a row. Not my record, but my record for the past few months.

Wow I've really improved huh. Not.

Good night people. I hope your night was far more beautiful than mine.

One fine year

Remember this day?
This was taken days before that fateful day when you asked me to be yours.

Now, today, I'm proud to say that we've come this far. It has been a very fulfilling ride with you over the past year (or so) and I need to spend the rest of my entire life with you.

Thank you, Hadi, for making my world beautiful. No one else comes close to making me feel the way you do.

********

When years are passing by like days,
and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face.
Your simple touch can still make my heart race.

When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed were happy tears we've cried.

I love you as much now as I ever did before,
if possible, I may even love you more,
all day, everyday.

I don't know what it is that you saw in me,
what I saw in you was the utmost happiness that can ever be,
even more so on the day when you and I became "We",
I can still smile and say with love and truth Baby,
I love you!
Happy Anniversary my sweetest love!

-Hadi


*************

My love,

So much has happened during this period of time,
It all began with a simple "You" and "I",
The gradual thought of love bubbling in mind
In time, we realized we needed to have our lives intertwined.

The moments we shared
The things we never cared
The time we spared
& the lives we compared

It brought us here to where we are
To a road I never thought I'd tread
Hand in hand, we've come this far
And we'll never, ever be turning back.

A promise made, is a promise I will keep
And for now, a promise is my gift to you
I will treasure and cherish you for all eternity
And shower you with love so pure and true.

Happy Anniversary Hadi.

Love,
Leila

It started here, last year.

And now, a new beginning for us both.

Much love,

Leila

baby love

I remember like it was yesterday
First kiss and I knew you changed the game
You had me exactly where you wanted and I'm on it


And I ain't ever gonna let you get away
Holding hands never made me feel this way
So special, boy it's your, your smile


We so in love
And I just can't get enough of your love
We so in love, and I want you to know


You are my baby love
You make the sun come up
You're my every, everything that I could ever dream of


You make the sun come up on a cloudy day
You're my number one, you're my special thing


You're my everything, Hadi <3
