i came across a friend’s facebook status about the current status gay marriage in california that i agreed with and always thought. take out the word “marriage” in any form of legal matters. marriage is a relgious term and defined in the bible as a union between man and woman. ok great. that’s totally fine. but it has and should have nothing to do with legalilty. we should be using the terms “civil union” or “legal union” to interpret what we are currently got “legal marriage”. would the opposers of gay marriage really have something to argue about in that case? people should have the right to legally form a union with someone regardless of sexual preference. gay people should have ALL the same rights as a straight person.

and for totally selfish reasons, gay people should have this right so i can fulfill my dream of planning a gay wedding! some come on people! spread the love, stop the hate, and let’s not only fulfill some dreams and wishes of our gay friends! let’s make ginet’s goal come to light!

So I won’t be going on any vacations til 2012 and attending concerts, buying a purse or making other extravagent purchases til after the wedding. I wanted to see Rent at the Hollywood Bowl, directed by Neil Patrick Harris and starring Vanessa Hudgens as Mimi as well as a few others:

and I also wanted to see In The Heights, which just left San Diego:

Of course, I’ll be going to Cancun for April’s wedding and probably hop to another island for our delayed honeymoon, but no other real vacation trips can be taken til two years. I would have loved to attend my cousin’s wedding in December, but it’s just too damn expensive to travel to the Philippines at that time!

Anyway, I’m not complaining - just pointing out that there are sacrifices I have to make to have our special day and I wouldn’t have it any other way. =)

So who wants to go on a trip in two years??

Hello! It’s been a loooooooooong while. I’d like to re-introduce myself! My name is Ginet, I’m 26-years old going on 27 (Yikes! I feel so old), and I’m engaged. I haven’t been blogging for a while because I’ve lacked inspiration, motivation, and I’ve been quite busy. My full-time job has been kicking me in the ass ever since I got back from New Orleans in January. I’ve been mentally drained so my thoughts and wit haven’t been around enough to write a decent blog. I’m still not sure if I can write a decent blog but I think I’m slowly regaining some motivation! So here I am and I’ll promise to update you with what goes on in my life and intriguing, thought-provoking mind!

… starting tomorrow! [Hey, this is just a re-introduction.]

I know it’s been a while. I’m lacking motivation because I’ve been stressing at work. Does anyone even read this blog anymore. Anyway, I thought this list is pretty cool - it’s a list of 100 Movies To See Before You Die - Modern Classic Edition: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/100-movies-to-see-before-you-die-modern-classics.html. I’ve watched 47 of these movies and will probably have watched 50 by the end of the year (still haven’t seen “Avatar” & “Hurt Locker”). Here’s the “All-Time Greats” List - http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/100-movies-to-see-before-you-die.html. I’ve watched 32 movies on this list and most of them are overlaps!

How about you? Have you watched all the movies that you need to see thus far before you die?

i haven’t blogeged in a while. i’ve been super busy with work!

so, i’ve been engaged for a week now! crazy! anyway, a couple nights ago i had a dream. i was in a car with kara driving and we were talking. i forget what about. i figure we were in her car because she had picked me up once from april’s to head to downtown for omid’s birthday a few years back. we got out of the car and i forget all the details. i remember telling her it was really nice seeing her and everyone really misses her. i think kara visiting me in my dreams was her way of saying congratulations. thank you kara for thinking of me =)

it still hurts. i feel like i lost a relationship or something. you are dedicated throughout and when it counts the most, he’s not there for you or he’s just totally acting like a different person. to do so well throughout and then to do things that are so uncharacteristic just doesn’t make sense to me. so my heart aches and it’s a pain i have felt time and time again and i just want it to stop. i want to feel victorious at the end of it. always a playoff team, never super bowl champions… and that’s all i have to say about that.

and to leave on a more positive note, the special event conference at new orleans was really beneficial for us! we are excited for this new year. we’re hopeful and becoming more and more confident! engaged couples, come on down!! hahah.

and another decade!

this has to be the year with the most notable deaths: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/02/26/obituaries/OBITNOTABLE_SLIDE_index.html

including the deaths of our dear friend kara marie franco and our dear uncle virgilio ‘bert’ illo.

but in sadness, there’s also happiness. the births of my niece & nephew twins danica & damon, my nephew miguel, and my friends’ babies allie jordan and grayson shane. also the weddings of a few people in our lives and in our business (in simply chic’s case).

every year, i’m growing and would like to think i’m becoming a better person. i feel like my relationships are growing stronger and i’m also growing in faith. through the trials, tribulations, and heartache, there comes greater peace, love, and understanding.

god bless you all in the new year to come!

LO VS. PARIS VS. GINET. Who wears it best? (Ok, bad picture of me wearing the dress but you get the point)

Joely Richardson spoke about her sister Natasha Richardson’s death for the first time in a British magazine. This is what she says about getting over her grief and learning to accept it:

“I don’t look at happiness as being a great goal. A sense of peace, definitely, but it’s like the seasons,” she says. “I think we’re meant to have a spring, summer, autumn and winter. I’m not looking for a perpetual summer because that would be a flat line.”

I’ve always seen happiness as the goal, but what does that really mean? Of course it’s different for everyone. There are inevitable ups and downs in life, so one can’t expect to just have the ups. I guess in realization, happiness for me is having a sense of peace. Maybe instead of trying to find that neverending happiness full of joy and positivity, we should aim for contentment.
