Royal Wedding

I love Kate Middleton's wedding gown. I appreciate the traditional neckline and the classic lace.


Made me miss my wedding and wedding gown. I've always known what I wanted even before I got married.
I wanted something over the top yet regal and classic. I figured I would only get married once so I wanted to look like a traditional bride.



Yay to weddings and true love. Watching beautiful weddings makes me want to get married over and over again...to the same man, of course!

Our first Luau

The Kalua Pork was good. =)

We are in Hawaii!

Aloha from Hawaii! We still have two days left before flying to the mainland.
Just a little side trip for some fun in the sun.





We are staying at the beautiful oceanfront Pacific Beach Hotel. Love our location since right now, I'm still adjusting to the time and I love how we can just curl up in the afternoons and sleep and don't feel like we are missing out because just downstairs is the heart of Waikiki beach.





Right now, I'm still earning my tan. Two more weeks and I'll be able to see my whole family in Illinois! Yahoo! I've never been this excited since my wedding day!

HAPPY EASTER!

We've been busy this time with Church activities, Holy Week is always a time for reflection and prayers especially in our family. No summer getaways for us during this time.
It was a meaningful Holy Week for me and the hubby albeit the busyness I feel like we were able to recharge and work on our spiritual health.

Thank you Lord for everything. We offer all these to you.

Our vacation is just starting! We are off tomorrow to bake in the Sun for a few days before heading to the families in the mainland. Finally, finally, finally. =))

What I had been busy with the past few days






These are all hand-made beaded bibs with real semi-precious stones by yours truly. Yes, I do make them myself. I have help but ultimately, I like working on pieces from my shop with my two hands especially with the prototype designs. I'll be off to our well-deserved vacay but I'm pretty sure I'll be bringing work with me. No other way. So excited for the coming days.

6 more days to go, not counting today.

Right now my mind is still with work and all the stuff that I need to finish. I know that this trip is a big one. Aside from the personal reasons, its also a step towards the dream that I finally accepted is intertwined with my fate. I believe that the next two months or so would answer some questions that I've been pondering on for years now...but can't seem to answer fully.

6 more sleepless nights, Isabel. I hope the answers come to me in a big thud.

Hello, blog. I'm still here.

Been awfully busy. Same old line, I know. Hopefully in two weeks I'll be able to post exciting photos but for now, I'll just hawk around my wares.

Please visit my bead shop, Charmed Life by Ysa Yason.

I need an excuse.

Balenciaga Twiggy Pivoine 2010. Never say never.

An early birthday present, perhaps.

I wish I can blog more often.

I will be blogging more often in May, for sure. But at present, I'm running against time.

My life is boring these days, cooped up and trying to finish stuff and getting OC with delegating projects. I swear, I cannot not touch everything I sell.

In less than two weeks, We'll be more relaxed, I hope. For now, I'll squeeze in my time whatever life gives me.

Today, was a lazy day for me. It's not that I don't have things to do its just that I talked to my two sisters and bestfriend through YM for the past few hours that now I feel so lazy peeling myself off from my laptop. I reckon I'll be starting and ending my day very late.

I'm excited for so many things this April but then it doesn't take a lot to excite me. ;) Its just that I feel like I'm finally, finally close to going home to my family. The stars and schedules are aligning rather in my favor for the first time in a long time, thank God for that.

I feel like this month will be a great month. We'll see.

I haven't been feeling well the past few days. I want to take it easy but then I really have no choice since I have two scheduled weddings for April.
I don't like being sick because I am forced to not do anything and that means thinking more. My minds goes into hyperdrive when I am not doing anything thats why I am always tinkering with stuff, reading or planning things to do during lull times.

Today I am forced to rest. My down time led me to thinking about past purchases (specially bag purchases) and I realized with so much regret that I could have used the money to renovate our kitchen instead. *Sigh. I am done with bags.I promise...at least for the next six months. I need to focus more on house projects.
Talk about resting. *Sigh, again.

So now I just decided to go online and browse around, looking for things to do and clothes to wear for summer and I found these:



I want! Fitflops Floretta just like other Fitflops are bulky compared to the average flipflops. But in my humble opinion, once you start wearing one, you'll never want to wear other flipflops/sandals again.
I found my staple sandals this summer. =)) Yay to productivity even when resting, hehe.
