KV Caidic from Paranaque City!

KV won my silly little contest that asked readers to guess where Vince and I are headed for our much anticipated but always delayed honeymoon. We're going to the magnificent city of London, people! And we're leaving next week! Hooray!

The entries are published in the comments section of that post. However, I didn't publish the wrong answers. Most of the answers were correct; after all, with the tons of clues I gave, it wasn't really very hard to guess, right? But KV was the very first one to give the correct answer so applause applause!

Congratulations, KV! You get your very own bottle of Burberry The Beat. Reply to my email asap so I can send you your prize asap!

To the rest of you, thanks for joining and keep checking this blog for more contests. I plan to give away freebies every month!

P.S. Get to know KV and check out her blog here.

Hehe, not really but it's getting there!

Observe my URL. It's now www.topazhorizon.com! It's like a real website! It's part of my plans for this blog. I've already edited out my too personal posts from the last two years (that was painful, I must admit) and I've begun steering this blog to what matters to me most outside my marriage--the things that make me happy, like movies, magazines, TV shows, music, shopping, etc! Yes, I'm not going to be unhappy and heavy and gloomy anymore. I want to be fun and light and, er, shallow!

This is super exciting for me! This blog has been a great source of release for me in the past when it came to dealing with life's harsh realities, but now, since I'm older and hopefully more mature, I want this blog to start being something else--be a good and happy place, where I can be thrilled about the stuff and ideas that tickle me most, to delight the readers that often stumble upon it, to inform these same readers about how wonderful life is and the fabulous things that make it wonderful.

So good luck to me! And hope you can stick around while I deal with the birth pains. I'm not really good with the Internet and websites and all things related to that. But one must keep learning! If you have any suggestions, please email me at frances@topazhorizon.com. Wow, I have a personal email address! Isn't that great? It excites me a lot but actually, I don't know if that email address works (haha!) so please email me there so I can see! So many things I have to learn with this new beginning!

So, like I said, Vince and I will be flying off to the United Kingdom (I won't say where exactly because I have an ongoing contest) in two weeks. We just bought luggage. Thank goodness Robinsons Galleria has a Bag and Shoe Fair this whole month of May because we were able to buy beautiful luggage from Echolac. Actually, I was content to buy a cheap local brand but Vince said, "If we must buy something, let's check out the expensive brands first then we'll work our way down." He's right; we may actually be able to afford it! And we did!

Echolac is a Japanese brand and from the moment we heard that line, "This is from Japan..." we were sold. So we're super duper happy because we now have lovely respectable luggage that we're sure won't get mangled at the baggage area.
