Blizzard Jonas 2016

When Blizzard Jonas hit us in the East Coast, our Siberian Husky, Kira experienced her first winter snowstorm. She couldn't contain to keep her face off the snow. Considering her type of breed, it goes to show how much she really loves this time of the season.

And while Kira's rolling around happily in the snow, Dexter and I pretty much enjoyed it as well - shovelling and cleaning the car.

I was also inspired to make this video with the song Always by Panama after watching Nadine Lustre's and James Reid's adventure in San Francisco x Sacramento x Lake Tahoe, using the same music. Big credits to them for the inspiration because it's been quite awhile since I had the interest in editing videos. Enjoy!

16 Months

It's been 16 months of happiness and love. But it's also been 16 months of learning from one another and learning to seek compromise. Because we all know that love isn't just rainbows and butterflies. It's about holding on, getting through the rainstorm, and finding sunlight to see the rainbow... and the butterflies. So Happy 16 months of holding on to umbrellas and jumping puddles and singing in the rain together, my Love.

365 Days

365 days. Its been 365 days since the official beginning of our journey together, yet it surprises me somehow, that it's only been 365 days because I know to both of us, it seems like its been more than that. Over the year, I have witnessed the growth and development of our relationship. You've broken the walls I built from fear of giving love another chance, and you showed me day in and day out that there is such a thing as unconditional love and support. We've visited countless places together, from cities to mountains to beaches, from my hometown to your hometown. I've learned more about myself by living life with you than I could possibly ever imagine, pushing me outside of my comfort zone, only to find magic at every turn. I couldn't be more grateful for every second spent with you because you're more than I could ever ask for. Happy Anniversary my Love! You know what words come next...

Happy 25th Birthday, My Love.

To the most kindest, understanding, sweetest, humble man (with a mix of weird and funny) I know. Happiest birthday! Thank you for the smiles. They're always bigger when you're around.

WILMINGTON Weekend

To visit my friend, Rona, in Wilminton, North Carolina has been a part of my little bucket list ever since she moved here to America 3 years ago. And at long last, I can put a check mark to that on my list, thanks to my very supportive boy-friend who rented a car for us and drove 9 hours to get there. It was quite a trip but all worth the weekend of spending quality time with one of my bestest friend and being introduced to her laid-back, beautiful hometown.

Arrived in Rona's home at 5 o'clock in the morning, and just about to sleep. We later woke up around 9 in the morning to get ready for a short roundabout in Wilmington.

Finally got to ride in Rona's baby and had my first experience with her driving (and I must say, she's a great driver!)

 Rona's room in her apartment. I love her little corner of string lights and photos by her bed.

Exchanging meets! Rona met Dexter, my boyfriend and I met hers, Shane.

It was pouring hard that day, but it didn't stop our plans from going out. We rose to the occasion! And just before sunset, the rain had stopped and we landed with our Chucks on the beach.

Our second/last day in North Carolina (didn't exactly happen in North Carolina) was at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was almost a 2-hour drive away Wilmintgton.

It was a pretty good day on our last day there considering the warm weather and all the fun we had.

Until next time, Rona and Wilmington...
