For the love of poetry
I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but for the entire month of April, I featured a poem in celebration of National Poetry Month. For those who liked each work of art, thank you very much. Poetry is something that I feel very close to as it always seem to echo the sentiments of the soul. And it echoes each time with me.
You can relive the entire month here or click the icon on the right side bar.
Do not fear! Feels Friday is still on. For those interested to contribute, just email your work at ohcarlaloo@gmail.com and I’d be more than happy to create some space for you.
Please don’t ever ever ever stop surrounding yourself with the written word. I say this because it has changed my life so much, not only when it comes to expressing myself, but more so with understanding others better. I hope it has the same, if not better, effect on you.
Again, thank you! Till the next poetry month! <3

Floating on flowers
What wedding update? There is none. Hahaha. I kid, of course.
With everything thrown in the air — school, work, family — I myself am surprised that we managed to nail some key items for our wedding.
Church. Check.
Venue. Check.
Caterer. Check.
Photo-video. Check.
That’s it. Hahaha. I have organized weddings in the past, so I am well aware how far I still have to go. But with these essentials already locked down, it is already guaranteed that there’ll be a ceremony, some food, and photos to remember it by.
I do know one thing though. I want to be surrounded in baby’s breath and daisies. Something about the two just screams pretty to me. They’re small flowers, always beautiful together, and they’re the friendliest flowers, as Meg Ryan would say.
And they kind of make the whole place seem like floating.
They make the most ethereal bouquets.
When you put them together, the backdrop looks like a batch of clouds.
I’m not really a big fan of garden weddings, but having these babies lined up and down the aisle makes everything simpler and dreamier at the same time.
Because I’m getting married at the busiest time of the year, I have to admit I’m having a hard time finding an available florist. But once I do find one, I will absolutely insist on these flowers.
On my wedding day, I want to be floating.
Le happy sigh. <3
