Movies Galore!!

It has been quite a while since Carol and I watched a movie, or multiple movies over a few days, which we used to do quite a fair bit during our dating days. Also I got hold of some passes so I should need to use 'em too.

So we've got these planned out or watched already by now :

• The Warlords
• Enchanted
• I Am Legend
• National Treasure
• Alien Vs. Predator : Requiem

I know some of you might not agree that the films above are worth watching, in fact I don't expect much from some of them too, which may be the reason I actually enjoy it :)

See you at the big screens.

Best Practices to Getting Married

Getting married, that's something you'd expect to do only once in a lifetime, thus you'd wanna make it memorable and romantic, and perfect ... and all the nice words you can dig out of your vocabulary.

But sometimes that perspective and expectation you and others preset, though unintentionally can be one of the main causes of tension and pressure leading to the big day, which ideally anyone would like to avoid.

Having just been through our own wedding, here's some tips we'd like to share, hoping it helps anyone out there with their big day (note : sometimes the best advise comes from those who have gone through a wedding and wish they've done it differently):

1. Chill ; a wedding is still just another event to organize and make happen, and keeping that in mind makes things happen better than expecting and trying to do everything perfect ; embraces flaws and work around them instead of mulling over them till even after the wedding.
2. Play ; a wedding is not a test you need to prepare and sit for and meet a passing mark, but it's the union of you and your loved one, so be like lovers, have fun, laugh, go out on dates, make time for each other (not meet up to discuss wedding stuff), go to the movies, dine out, etc.
3. Release ; don't try to do everything yourself ... let go and have people you trust handle stuff for you ; good friends will be so happy for you and find it an honor to do their part ... you on the other hand need to give them a free hand and not puppet-control them (remember point 1 and 2).
   

After all, it's not like it's all over after the marriage ... it's really the first step.

First post

Ok, ok. Here we go! I've never maintained a successful or long running blog before ... albeit one attempt, but with such changes taking place in my life ... I guess the time is right.

Welcome to Carol's and Kenny's blog ... tracking bits of our life together anew. 27-10-2007, WE GOT MARRIED !!!

A picture paints a thousand words ... hope this one does the job, and is the start of more words and blogging to come.
