I think during my first post on this blog, I have made my status pretty much clear enough. In case you skipped that important announcement, (which I’m hoping you shouldn’t) I have officially tied the knot. That endless platinum & gold sparkling loop will now forever be around my left ring finger.
I can almost hear you say, congratulations! Or best wishes to you! Well, allow me to say thank you to that and to all who personally did so. Anyway, I know there are a lot of questions bugling your mind. Why you got married so early? Who’s that lucky man? What happens after your marriage? Well, well calm down you now, I hear you.
Let me just tell you my once – upon- a – time story in this way. I am a modern – day Cinderella who’s working her way on her career when a cross- culture Prince Charming came across. You might be thinking, he maybe then came for a rescue and swept me with his gallant nobleness. Well,I hate to break this up to you, but no. Surely just how Disney shaped our childhood.
Just to give you a run through, He is a full born Japanese while I have lived my entire life in the country Philippines. To make it brief, we met, by whatever magical term you call it; fate, destiny or soul mates. We’ve dated for a year then mutually discussed and decided for finally getting married. No surprises, on-his-knee proposal or a flash mob dancing whatsoever. Just me and him, discussing about it like it’s a sort of a long term business plan. Well just before you sigh and make an almost frowning- half disappointed face, let me tell you that for me, it’s all a real-time fairy tale come true.
Cross cultural relationship, how cool is that?! –I know right? You’ll began imagining how gorgeous and smart the babies will come out to be. Well, at least that’s what I heard of a result from an intercultural marriage. However, let’s just skip that chapter for now.
Going back, I wish I can tell you how wonderful the wedding turned out to be, but I might ran out of words to describe it.Walking in the aisle is every woman’s fantasy, so you all get the gist as to how I felt when I walked myself wearing that beautifully seamed all white wedding gown.
He cried, our parents cried, everyone cried, and of course I cried too. It’s a sensational feeling and a restful atmosphere surrounded with nothing but deep blue waves of the ocean and singing wind. Oh, did I just forget to mention it was a beach wedding?
I could not say it’s all then a happily-ever-after. The story never ends when Cinderella fits her glass slipper. IRL, I am now preparing myself to a new life ahead of me. This is no fun and games anymore.
Hey everyone! In behalf of this blog Twenty-two Forward, allow me to say a late yet genuinely happy 2018! I’ve been MIA from the beginning of the year but don’t worry 2018 has been treating me great! Anyway, how’s your 2018 so far?
Before fully kicking off the rest of this year, I thought it would only be fitting to give 2017 a last but certainly the best way to wrap it up. The past two years especially last year has been very kind to me. I may have posted and wrote a little about those things but it’s a year I am really thankful for.
Anyway, enough of the tearjerkers and lets hit things right off the bat. This video contains my life in Japan for the past two years. This blog will never have gone this far without these amazing places that I have traveled and shared to you guys. Compiling and writing about all my experiences has been one of the best decision I have ever made almost three years ago when I started Twenty-two Forward. As you can see, writing has always been something I’ve always enjoyed as well as capturing photos and videos. What made me even happier is knowing that a lot of you enjoyed it and hopefully get inspirations from it.
This video may a little be less than four minutes and squeezing the events of the past couple of years into one is almost close to impossible. That is why I will be posting them into two parts being this as PART 1. You may have also notice that compare to the previous videos I’ve posted on this website, this one is on Youtube. I may be a rookie in this platform but I would really appreciate your support 😉
If there’s a certain clip in the video that you are interested about (e.g food,place,event), chances are I have written about it on one of my previous blog posts or just feel free to leave your comment or questions down below.
I hope to bring you more amazing content this 2018 as this blog is reaching its third year. As for now, I really hope you enjoyed the video and let’s all cheers to an amazing and treasurable moments ahead!
