I still feel a little weird looking through our wedding photos… Weddings are so… adult.🙃⠀ ⠀ We were exhausted from the days leading to it, and my throat and chest were legit tightening when I walked down the aisle. We prepared for this day with everything we got and I was happy and thankful, of course. But I couldn’t take another step forward when the curtains were pulled.🤦🏻‍♀️ All I could think of was, “so many frikkkin people staring at me…”😳 So yeah, you imagine it to be just this purely romantic and emotional moment, but it was mixed with some sort of blur and riot and wtf in my head.👾 I smiled with my gums out and I clearly remember my cheeks and jaw felt frozen.😬⠀ ⠀ But when I reached the front and we TIGHTLY held hands, I felt a million times better.😌 Everything was comfortable and manageable again. EVERYTHING TRANSFORMED. It felt like we were just hanging out.🌿 And all the important people in our life were there hanging out with us. It felt that simple and natural.❤️ So it was all high fives and fist bumps from then on. We even sang together and it was terrible for sure!😂 We also danced and it was definitely worse!😂 But that’s how our silly + natural habitat turned out to be: LOTS of idiotic dancing and singing and impersonations.😜⠀ ⠀ How I got through the nerve-wracking parts of our beautiful wedding through being silly with you, and truly enjoy our special day, was actually a preview of our married life.😌💕 So YEAH. #RxYnight was 4 years ago people, and we haven’t murdered each other!🙌🏼 #whereisourprize #weddinganniversary
Happy #StarWarsDay everyone!😊 What better time and way to start uploading on social media again than May 4th and with a tribute to my favorite droid?🤗⠀ ⠀ Here’s a quick #papercut piece that I made yesterday. Finished this adorable #R2D2 paper art and it’s up for grabs! Flash sale price of $40 for this cutie, which includes free first class shipping within US via USPS. I’m not considering to post this on my Etsy shop so please DM me to claim this piece; you will absolutely love him.😍 May the force be with ya! You can also watch a process video of this #papercutting session on my IGTV (I also included a short snippet on the 4th slide).🙃🌿⠀ ⠀ It’s been a weird year... and yet there’s so much to share about it. Stay safe and well friends.❤️ Also, tomorrow is RxYnight year 4 😳😱😍 so you bet I will be celebrating this life (despite the weirdness and terrors of 2020).
I will always remember the many things that could have been my last.🍃 Why I haven’t been on the air: I was scheduled for a common oral procedure when something wrong happened to me. I was then advised to go to a clinical surgeon first. Upon evaluation, the clinical surgeon informed me that he can’t treat me because I should be sent to the ER, urgently needed an operation, and that I will be kept in the ICU for a couple of days. I felt so emotional, terrified, sorry, sad. I was so disappointed with myself because I promised my mama that I won’t let anything happen to me after our family’s traumatic loss. I remember telling my husband, “doctor said a couple of days... I hope it’s just two days. I don’t want to be conscious through all this. If I’ll be in the ICU for a couple of days... I guess I’ll see you in two days?” And we cried. One of the surgeons in the hospital told me that I should push aside my fears and other concerns because in about 3 days, my airways can be totally closed up and that’s it for me. That’s how much I needed that operation at that very moment. There was a big consolation: I needed the operation immediately but I won’t be kept in the ICU after all. When the nurses were prepping me, I thought about the flowers that Rom gave me last Jan.2 as an “advance anniversary gift.” I thought about my family, my art. I thought about my last commission, the last Etsy message I sent, the last book I read. I thought about my last radio show when I already noticed it was hard for me to enunciate my words. The last thing I remember before they rolled the bed away from my husband was having to remove my wedding ring. I handed it to Rom and my heart was just so crushed about how I’m hurting other people by making them worry about my life.💔 I’m now recovering, waiting for my incision to heal, regaining weight, and trying to speak+eat normally. I’m extremely grateful to the few who knew about it and sent prayers my way, and to the doctors and staff who took care of me. And to my husband, who excitedly put my wedding ring back on my finger when he was called by the nurse to see me after the operation, thank you.❤️
