winter wonderland

So many things to do and so little time. I thought I was only planning a wedding, but I am also dealing with getting a new place, getting a new job, making sure it has good health insurance, reserving a date at church, making sure the date fits around everyone's schedule, and the worst thing is trying to settle all these things from winterland new york city -_- ugh! I truly do not like winter. I wish winter would only last one month- the month of December- covered in snow and tinkle lights and then spring would enter before you know it. But I do have to admit, I'm happy. So many good things in my life and around everyone that I love. My oldest sister had her second child not too long ago, and now my middle sister is pregnant. Both are happily married and now with beautiful families. I do believe in Karma, do good and you will only get good things. Treat others good, wish good upon others. Trust me, you will be a happier person if you wish everyone around you to be as well. One of the best things in life if having everyone you love be happy with you. So I may be stuck in winter, but it is a winter wonderland ^_^

letters too far

Fragments of you are still with me. Tiny little needles swimming through my skin. Digging themselves into me. My body rejects every single one, every lie and even every smile that came from you. My skin is tougher, dry, shredding away layers of your words, your eyes. Nothing is sweeter now than the hollow air, keeping you away, keeping me away. You mail me your stories attempting to grasp me- but there is nothing to reach, every single letter unread down my garbage can along with all your other tales. It no longer distresses me, your words come with the wind, touch my cheek and make their way back to you, back to nothing, emptiness. I am at ease. I am happy. And the only thing that may worry me a bit is that I am even happier knowing I have scraped you off my heart, far. Stay far for even when you are near you will now remain a stranger, someone I never knew, a stone in my shoe that is no longer there. A cold shiver that will scurry along back with the wind, far off. And I like it there- far.

Buba's baptism and a little surprise

So It's a New Year. And I know- I've been MIA since Christmas. As most of you know I went to my little Island to celebrate the holidays and the baptism of my sister's baby boy. The house was full with  all ten of us so I hardly had time to go online with such a full house. It was truly one of the best christmas I've ever experienced. My family is the best. And for some reason, everytime I came into blogger I just skipped and read through some blogs but never felt like blogging myself. I felt that I could not capture into pictures and words the happiness I was experiencing. However, something happened after the holidays that I must share.
As you guys know from two posts ago I was the Godmother at Rafael's Baptism (my sister's baby). During the ceremony, and many dancing, and laughs, and pictures, my sister announced she had a surprise for the godparents. I was completely confused, I'm thinking, "since when do Godparents get surprises?" Nevertheless, the godfather and I stand up and walk to the center of the dancing stage as guided by my brother-in-law who closes both our eyes with his hands and makes us face the wall. After a few seconds I hear everyone clapping and some people shouting and when we turn around I see the mister on his knees holding up a little box- and yes you guessed it- with a beautiful ring inside.

I am officially engaged ♡ 

'tis begining to look a lot like christmas

♫ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go; take a look in the five and ten glistening once again with candy canes and silver lanes aglow. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in every store but the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door... 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go; there's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; soon the bells will start, snd the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing right within your heart ♪

Welcome.

Que sera, sera

How hard is it to find a pretty white simple dress?

So here's the short story: Theres a baptism in January and I'm the Godmother ^_^. And its all taking place in my beautiful Quisquella. It'll be warm, and even hot with all the kids, people, balloons, music, dancing and cake. Plus, the gathering will be taking place in the morning in a summer house's garden.

So whats the problem?

Well I'm in NYC now where its cold and its Christmas and it's becoming impossible to find a white dress (In Quisqueya it is accostumed that the family wears white while guests wear white or very pale pastel colors) This is all I got from the summer:

Its from Zara and its very simple and delicate. It might work adding the right accesorizes. It looks more simple in the picture because its not even ironed. Once its iron well, maybe add a belt and some gold or silver accesorizes I think I might work something out. Until now its all I got so I got to work with it. .  Unless I find something else. Any white dresses you know of online?

I couldn't find the place its going to be exactly at, but its a cross between these two following "Casa de Campos" in Quisqueya. The place where we had Anabella's baptism was a bit smaller but had these gorgeous trees and flowers all around the backyard and frontyard- like this cozy little garden. This place will be larger so the kids can run around. My sister wants to rent one of those giant playtents with all the colorful balls inside for the kids to play in- What are those called? Anywhos, I google "Casa de Campo" in Quisqueya and these where some choices and I remember it looked something like this. Isn't my little island just precious? :)

Oh and these are some inspiration pictures I had saved up, since in my crazy imagination everyone will be wearing flowers in their hair, hey its a tropical island after all, and you always catch a few people with them:

I know I know, I'm just a bit too excited about going for Christmas to my tropical little island and of course baptizing my gorgeous nephew Rafael...
