fastforward to 2012

because i've been (very) delinquent about posting the past year, here's a fastforward post to this year: 2012.  it looks like its going to be a really BIG year for me (just like the movies say but not in exactly the same way :))

BIG as in I'm getting married in 2012!  WOOT!  as you know, I got engaged late last year during my month-long trip to Borneo with twinpopbaguio (haha!  is that what we called him?!  hahaha).  luckily, he is a great photographer and we were able to capture that auspicious day!

the ring: handcrafted in layers of rosewood, golden koa and turquoise. its been in his pocket the whole time we were travelling but waited for the right moment to give it.  and that moment could not have been better!

as we were camped out on Pulau Mamutik on the last few days (and last few bucks) of our trip, we hiked to the other side of the island to catch what was looking like a glorious sunset.  and indeed it was!  while perched on the rocks of the cliff next to the island, we watched the sunset side by side, he asked and i said yes.  (awww!)

and that night, we witnessed the most amazing moonrise i have ever seen in my entire life.  i took that as a good omen :)

if that wasn't enough, the morning woke us with a spectacular sunrise, with mt. kinabalu showing herself in the distance (a mountain we had climbed just weeks before at the start of our trip).

a sunset, a moonrise, a sunrise and a ring - all in a span of 12 hours.  auspicious! :)  its only the beginning of the year and i'm excited already!
