Princesses for a day
Brother 1: (tone of genuine wonder and disbelief) What happened to your hair?! (pause) Are you having a GOOD hair day?!
Hahahahaha! That quote made my day. Obnoxious little brothers are always the harshest critics. So, when one of them gives me a disguised compliment, it's a very good sign. When they sound sincere, it actually comes off as insincere, haha.
Some people at work were calling me Victoria Beckham earlier today, but my new hair's bob isn't as severe as hers, and I don't have highlights. Kudos to Therese, who was telling me to get a haircut, and to my mom, who recommended me the stylist at her salon.
Congratulations to our friend Jovinne and her new husband. <3 She'd always reminded us of Charlotte, all in terms of looks, attitude, and the desire to live happily ever after in marital bliss.
Therese has been quick in uploading her pics from last night onto her Multiply account across three albums-one, two, three. (No need for a Multiply account to see them.)
She's also given me her blessing to use her pics on my blog, and so, here are a few select pics. Check out her site for the full albums. I also have her to thank for my make-up. See, she's really made me a woman. =P
The new hair!
I love this pic of me and Andy, Jenn Blonde's son.
We had to steal the beautiful bride away from the wedding planners to steal this shot with her.
It's like a high school prom picture!
I love this pic I took of Therese-it's impossible to take a bad shot of her. My friends and I have been bitching about how flawless she always looks in photographs, ever since we knew her, haha.
...I just look smashed in mine. =P
She's also practiced the fine precision of taking perfect self-portraits, even with others in the frame.
And then we gathered at the Peninsula to wind down with cake and ice cream.
If you can't bother to check the cut, you can check out the pretty dress I bought. I'm wearing it again to my cousin's wedding two weeks from now; I don't care! It's just that pretty.

Random points:
- WOW. Maxxx actually also shows the Global Editions of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report! Suh-weet! Now, if only they could stop being asinine and pronounce "Col-bear Re-pore" properly in their promos.
- I sometimes mistake Frederik Pleitgen for Alessio Vinci when zipping through my DVR. I'll have pics of the latter next time. I've already uploaded them and written the code, but I erased it just before posting this. I don't want him to upstage me, haha.
- I used to find Eric Ripert ugly. Now, I find him hot. Rowwwrrrr. I want to eat at Le Bernardin once I'm in NYC! Even more than Les Halles.
Want: A hydrogen car
