we’re so excited for the anticipated addition to the tapawan/ha clan – we’ve been waiting so long for auntie armies next baby and we’re awaiting the arrival of the (80% chance) girl! :D

the house was decorated with pink, (most) guests were dressed in pink, cupcakes were iced pink, and all gifts pink! (mindy, you would have loved it haha)

started with my 50mm but transitioned to the kit lens when i had to hand it off to others :P

in a few weeks time, she will arrive!

ps. please see http://bit.ly/bhIIVD for kris’ cupcake creations ;)

red velvet love.

i have a bestfriend. i know she is my bestfriend because not only does she know me better than anyone else, she is someone who inspires me to be a better person. i’m a true believer that the one you’re with should bring out the best in you, and she does :)

work.

as busy season is in full swing, with 12 hours working days are the norm and weekends very likely (without overtime or days in lieu) i continue to question: why? and what can i do from here? i know i will be here for some time, enough time to learn and gain experience and time to make the decision of what do i really want to do for the rest of my life. the question that at 23 (soon to be 24) i still can’t define. although it is a little scary, i know most people don’t figure this out til.. sometimes never? or when theyre much older. but i’ve always had a plan, i’ve always known what i was going to do.

but i’ve come to see that my plans don’t always work out. plans change. and thats ok. so whats my new goal? a corporate life? that seems less and less likely. its hard to move from what you know, what you’re most comfortable with. but thats the challenge, at least that can keep you excited in life. and its exciting to know that there are many possibilities. i just have to figure out which one i want. csr related perhaps? im liking the sound of it, but not sure i even really want the c part. haha.

on another family note: prayers are welcome :)

mother and cousin and grandmother are all gone to cali! :( i wish i could’ve gone as well. but oh well. nyc roadtrip ladies?

be positive.
