My Yellow Gold Preference

Unlike most of my friends, I don’t invest in gold jewelries. It could be because I have my hard-earned money go directly to my savings account and my family’s basic needs. Instead of real jewelries, I just spend on accessories and some fancy jewelries made from inexpensive metals like Silver and Tungsten. I find them perfect for every day use. They also give me peace of mind as there’s a very slim chance they would get snatched by robbers while I’m out on the streets. Haha.

If there’s someone in our family who likes investing in gold jewelries, it would be my mom. I remember when I was younger, she used to own several pieces of gold jewelries. Unfortunately, she was not able to keep them because they had been pawned one by one and never got redeemed. This was during my college years when our family went through a lot of hard times.

We’re Engaged!

Yesterday, during our visit to his house in Cavite which is 80% constructed, my boyfriend of six years popped the question. Yes, the question that every girl wants to hear from the guy she wants to spend the rest of her life with! This time I answered with a loud YES. I said “this time” because he already proposed a few days before at the confines of their home kitchen. Back then, I answered with several NOs while smiling happily. Of course, those NOs actually meant a YES.

The boyfriend’s final proposal was impromptu and quite far from how I imagined it to be. But then I realized he’s really not the type who throws big surprises and executes them well. And though his proposal fell short of my expectations, I still love him to pieces because when I looked into his eyes while he was asking if I wanted to marry him, I saw the purity of his intentions and his overwhelming love for me.

So yeah, we’re engaged now. Both of our families were happy about the news. I believe the “pamamanhikan” is happening right after his parents’ Bohol vacation. We haven’t started planning the details of the wedding, though. Just thinking about them makes me dizzy already. But we’re very excited about it and hopefully, we could finalize things one at a time.

I’m also planning to create a wedding blog where I could share and discuss everything about our wedding, so watch out for that. 🙂
