Valentines....



Karl gave me a bouquet a few days after Valentines...





I admit that I was a wee bit disappointed because everything was pretty much regular on the Hearts day... (That's the downside to having Valentines as your birthday. You expect more heheh!)



Thanks Bibi... :)))
TO many more years of blissful-ness...

Honeymoon Pics

ALready two months back in the Philippines from our honeymoon in hawaii....

I have tried to categorize pictures for easier viewing....

We actually went to our honeymoon the morning after of our reception... We had avery loooong flight and a looonger waiting time at the Japan airport... So the first part of our pix were from the Japan airport and Hawaii pier (The Aloha Tower).

The 1st week of our honeymoon was spent mainly on the boat which started sailing on May 2007. It was quite a new ship and was called Pride of Hawaii. We also spent some time on the land during the cruise time and we joined some of the land tours in Maui (specifically the Maui Ocean Center, Iao Valley and of course, the ever-famous Luau!) and Kona (for the Atlantic submarine). We spent the last day of the cruise week at the ship.

For the 4-day, 3 nights left of our vacation in Oahu, we checked in at the Ohana East hotel which overlooked the King's Palace and 2 blocks away from Waikiki Beach. We spent a great part of our time in Oahu at the biggest mall, Ala Moana. :)))

It was a relaxing vacation all in all except for the travelling time :O hehe! Oh well, we can't have it all...
