Feb 29 leap year.....are u proposing!....







































































and finally we got to the cream of this month,
February 29, the extra day in  2012!
you lovely friends out there do you have
your proposal ready for today?
are you asking him to marry you!

myself..........
this month has been extraordinary in every way
i can think of.....a february full of love and love
and more love.....in every direction in my life.
few bumps but i jumped over and pass them!
i've seen many beautiful inspiring things
and have had heartfelt meaningful connections!
i have accomplished lots in "searching for my
artistic self project" that im so so so exited about!
i have fallowed up with my promise in the beginning
of the month to post a love quote a day every day
to spice up my own love life if nothing else!
(and believe me that was not easy to be committed
to one topic for an entire month ) but i did it.
(i might have missed a day or two late posts! na!)
also, there have been some loved ones who i have
been out of touch totally and we got in touch again
out of blue this month!......stories....laughter shared
and that made me feel people come to your life and
go out of your life all for reasons. but all even those
who are gone still stay with you for the rest of your life!
they become part of who you really are!

however today....... i decided to marry myself!

i vow myself to be more than ever and ever committed
to who i am and want to be! to the true pure still little me 
who just wants to be free of possessing anything or be
possessed by anybody, anything! to eli who wants to
live life filled with love, art, music, dance, passion,
compassion and courage regardless of when, how,
where, or with whom, and under any circumstances!

and......... that is the vow i take today.
and to be honest with you all out there......
i feel soooooo blessed with my life and what i have
been through and how everything step by step got me
closer to a day like today that i am very clear about
many things in my life! really really!
also... i hope this marriage allow me to grow more,
learn more and become a true transparent person
i want to be by the end....i want to grow old with
this eli i know now!

so here you go my marriage vow:

I, eli, take you, eli, for my lawful soulmate, 
to have and to hold, 
from this day forward, 
for better, 
for worse, 
for richer, 
for poorer, 
in sickness 
and in health, 
until death do us part.
(or in my case....until death make us just one)

healing.....renewing.....living in the moment....















































































































i'm sending these bright springish full-of-life 
bouquets to a "berry berry" special  person 
in my life who is not feeling well and is in pain 
at this time! heal fast dear you!

life is full of surprises in every second.
we never know even if we are here for another
minute to breath, walk, eat, laugh, or do things!
so.....go for min by min. dont rush through your
moments to get to the next and dont regret
the ones you missed! present ones is the
only sure ones.
grab each moment as tight as you can!

and ..... live it fully......really really!

a new addition.....

































































I love my bathroom. i do. it's small and vintage looking.
old charm. from door knob to the vintage bath top.
so things that go there must be special to me!
i just got a plant of hyacinth flower as gift from a
dear friend and i thought it would be perfect to be there!
i did not have any scented flower in there for a week.
(i usually put some fresh flowers that smell good)
i like it when i go there at nights and the fragrance 
is even stronger!
call me crazy but i am very selective about what
i put in my bathroom. its a very personal place!
you cant just leave things there without personal
connections! can you?!!!!!!

I missed the love quote for yesterday.

what you do when u get roses.....


little i knew when i said NO i did not want
roses specially pink or red on valentine day.
because
the next thing i knew on the day after
was a little vase with a pink & a red rose on my table
how that happened!
does universe listen to us at all!?

but....also.......ironically
they are so imperfectly perfect
that i had to photograph them today
for the first time ever photographing roses!

so......here they are......
with my simple shoot and go camera
my first collection of rose photos!
not too bad....dont you think

[p.s. there is no photoshop editing, cropping or else in these photos.
they are shown here as raw as possible off my camera memory!]

im a little exited for my pink rose
it looks such a perfect flower after all!

again the lesson learned
never say never.

thinking to photograph the red one too!
so............stay tuned......
