About Miss Gardenia

Greetings From Miss Gardenia!

Greetings From Miss Gardenia! :  wedding oc Mosaic2

I was truly so overjoyed when I heard the news about being the newest bee in the wonderful world of Weddingbee. I’ve been anxious to introduce myself so that I could start to blog away!

Hallmark is where Mr. Gardenia and I met 9 years ago when we started working our first and only mall job. We both love Hallmark cards and Mr. Gardenia has boxes full of Hallmark cards that I have given him over the course of our dating. He will not let go of those cards as much as I try to convince him – he is hanging on to them for dear life.

Coach handbags, Transformers and Robo-tech toys are our toys. I have a secret love for Coach handbags and have collected quite a few over the years that we have been dating, and Mr. Gardenia has boxes and boxes of original Transformers and Robo-Tech toys from when he was growing up. He is just so excited that they’re bringing these back to life in movies. After watching the Transformers movie, he is already making plans to watch the new Robo-Tech movie due out during the later part of 2008. I think he became an immediate fan of Shia Labeouf (the same kid from the Disney Channel’s Even Stevens) from Transformers after seeing the movie.

We love food!! Coming from a Filipino and Spanish background, food is definitely a big part of our families and we both like to eat. And when I mean eat, I mean grub! Our new food favorites are bubbling tofu stew with beef bulgogi (Korean barbecue), Indian food, especially garlic naan and chicken tikka and lastly, Vanilla’s Southern Style banana pudding and their French macaroons.

I am truly a spa virgin turned addict. My girls took me to Burke Williams for the first time and I fell in love with all of their treatments. Though their manis and pedis are a bit expensive, it is quite a treat! My new outlet for my girls and I to hang out and unwind is the spa, his outlet is his World of Warcraft nights with his friends. I think this will remain to be a favorite of his until we get the Wii and his attention has been diverted.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome… and I can’t wait to share my DIY projects with all of you.

Miss Gardenia, are you Filipino and your FI is Spanish? If so, that would be a coincidence because I’m in the same situation..AND I’m from OC. I look forward to your inspirational posts!

Welcome Miss Gardenia! Beware of losing your fiance to the Wii though! As I write this my FI is STILL playing Madden (just like the last time I was on Weddingbee…hmm) I wonder who’s more addicted!
