Just indigo?

seems like too many of my blog posts recently are just quick ones to let everyone know i'm still alive. the backlog of wonderful, funny and complex things to write about is growing more formidable by the day, and i'm just praying for time (and a decent office internet connection) to write about everything.

but for now, a surprising discovery: while deciding on a color scheme for the wedding (yes! the wedding!), i realized i couldn't remember what the indigo girl in rainbow brite was called. remember rainbow brite? yeah, i drew upon my childhood for color inspiration.

[a brief digression: just last night, i also found out that one of my very good friends from acs, and our very first wedding ninang, sang an astounding number of commercial jingles from my childhood: rebisco, chokies, dingdong ("masarap malutong dingdong!"), tanduay ("pour out the good times, pour out the good times, pour out the good times with tanduay five years"), mr clean ("labadami, labango, labalinis pa!") and many others that i forget now. "wow dadapots," i cried, "you were my childhood!"]

okay back to indigo. i finally googled her this evening and found out that she was the only color kid in rainbow brite who didn't have a first name. the others had names like lala and patty and buddy; she was just indigo! kawawang bata.

it's funny to look indigo up now and see that she's asian, has wavy dark hair, loves acting and being on stage, and is kind of artsy-fartsy -- just like me! so i guess picking her as my primary wedding color is a lucky stroke. :-)

hmmm. suddenly i want indigo streaks just like hers. ayayay.
