We Got Featured!

Yes We Were!

the home page on bridalbook.ph

It was an exciting moment when I received Kristy Texon, BridalBook.ph's Editor in Chief that Warren & my wedding pictures were chosen to be featured on their site (Summit Media's web portal for the wedding industry). I wanted so much to finish answering their questionnaire so that I can submit it, I was really excited. 2 days after I was able to send it back, while browsing through Facebook, tadan! It was so surreal, reading an article about yourself and your story - amazing.

All the great works of our suppliers were there. We were so blessed that our hardwork & labor of love to have a wedding to remeber paid off. My wedding bouquet was even chosen as one of W@W's Best of 2011 Bridal Bouquet series. It's so awesome!!!

Here are some of the photos I print screened hehehe. Thank you BridalBook for the awesome feature.

Niceties on a Friday

We got our raw photos from our official photographer Nelwin Uy today, hooray!

The photos are overwhelming because of a.) quality, b.) quantity and c.) it's our wedding photos for crying out loud!

I'll be very busy viewing the dvds of our gazillion pictures this weekend... maybe I should buy popcorn.

Ah, my weekend will be filled with niceties and prettiness and awesomeness. I miss my hubby though. But will see him in a week.

Plus, our very talented florist featured the bouquet he made for me as his FB's profile pic... it is so lovely.

Happy weekend girls & boys!

Psst Panget...Muah!

Being married is not a piece of cake. It requires a lot of patience, understanding and self-sacrifice if you want a peaceful, harmonious life. My intro would sound like there is trouble in paradise but it’s the other way around. I am blessed, with just 1 month of married bliss I see things bright and clear and I hope and pray to stay this way (yes Lord, please).

My husband and I are in a long distance relationship when we were still boyfriends and girlfriends. Now that we’re married, we still are in this setup. Yes we always talk that things would change once we have kids. And even without he gave me 2 years to enjoy my career, he didn’t change a thing. 2 years from now we will revalidate what to do with our family even if it would still be just the two of us (minus kids). The guy I married is that kind and selfless. His unconditional love made me think twice before whining. His patience and thoughtfulness (not to mention generosity) makes me hold back with the harsh words trying to escape my mouth. I am lucky. The Higher Ups has been so kind to me.

This emo entry is for my baby W, Happy 1^st month Panget! I love you! What I wrote was nauseatingly cheesy but I don’t care, it’s only once in my life that I get the chance to celebrate how deeply in love I am because I just got married last month (hehehe).

And to my fellow sheep ladies, this year (Water Dragon) is still our year (or yours)… love will bloom for the lady sheep this year… best time to get married they said. Kung Hei Fat Choi boys & girls. I’m off to see my husband this weekend. Happy me!

11.11.11

38 more days and we still don’t have the dresses. Not that I am nervous because I have complete faith in my cousin Ate Daisy, I love her to death :) (okay I admit I’m a little stressed out) it’s just that I wanted to finalize all the details, dresses included so that I can relax. I just hope that the dresses of the bridesmaids will arrive next week for the first fitting.

The shoes? Well my supplier (will divulge the name soon after the delivery so as not to compromise the quality of the shoes) is again asking for more time. Well I am a good client, I can bend backward even sideways if you want but enough is enough. I cannot take any more extensions. Nov 19 I’ll go marching to the shop and will get all the shoes. All 10 pairs of them!

I am writing this while waiting for my bus ride to Bicol. W’s maternal grandmother passed away. And to show my love and support I’ll visit the family this weekend. It is sad for our family as well because my Lolo Roming died too, a day after W’s Mama Alice joined the Lord. Death in both our families a month before our wedding. Sad but life goes on.

Today is 11.11.11, a great day to get married as advised by numerologist. I was wondering earlier today why W & didn’t consider this date to tie the knot. I guess because this date is not that special to us. But to those getting married today, CONGRATULATIONS!

They said this date is like a door, it is open for opportunities and ready for closure. We all have a secret wish, pray hard for it today. We all have baggage, release yourself from the straps.

Boys & girls, it’s Friday (I can hear myself saying this line to the tune of Rebecca Black’s song hehehe) have fun, enjoy, keep safe and make a wish!

Far from Normal

So I've been reading a lot (again) lately...dry spells over hehehe.

I was lucky enough to find time to read once again, lubricate my brain a little since it has been filled with snippets of rust. And because I started reading again I don't know if it has something to do with my off then on again case of insomnia (reason why I fancy calling myself a sleepwalker). Reading is supposed to make you doze off but it is doing the reverse for me. This is the reason why I was able to finish a hardbound book with 400+ pages in 2 days. I know I have a 7 hours record of reading the HP Deathly Hallows non-stop but anything else read less than 3 days is a record too.

So the ghost month is over... we're supposed to be proactive again with our preps, I've been doing a lot of DIYs again after pressing pause for 2 months. We have 4 months ++ more but time flies the next thing we'll know we have barely a month to go.

Am I excited? Yes ofcourse :) who wouldn't? But I am containing myself just giggling inside.

Anyway I need to run, it's Saturday meaning errand & prep day. I just want to update everyone (as if there are readers to this blog) that this blog is still breathing.

Happy weekend boys & girls!

Fashion Faceoff

Both by talented designers both worn by remarkable women, both look great :)

I really love them both in their gowns but I'm not gonna wear one that looks like this.

I heart this pic...

by Alizza Mistades, I soooo love this shot :)

Kodak Moment

It’s confirmed, our very own wedding photographer was also the photographer of O & K in their engagement session and on their actual wedding yesterday in Batangas J.

Yes I’m back after days of snoozing from the blogosphere. Here’s my entry for the year, MY HAPPY NEW YEAR, a chismax about our photographer. Well it made me really giddy cos I’m in the middle of doing my own preparation as well. I really love NU, his shots are really bright, sunny, happy, cheerful (I know the adjectives are almost the same). Whenever I look at his photos - I smile, that’s how happy he can make me through his art. I wish I could look oh so pretty also when it’s my turn to be on his spotlight for my own Kodak moment. This is how happy W made me when we made the decision of booking NU.

After this week my wediste and this blog will be back in the game. I’ll be posting new entries after we booked the other important stuff this weekend. I cannot wait to have our excel file updated as well. W has been going on and on about the budget (hehehe I’ve been giving him balloon versions of the budget, been buffering it A LOT so that he raise it haha!).

I really love Thursdays. It’s almost the weekend! Yey!

Mood Board

...can be very addicting :)

mood board 1, I love the headband, will DIY this for the FGs

Initially I didn't want one because there's none readily available for download on the web. Then I channeled to the inner creativeness within me and viola! I was able to make 2 :)

mood board 2, I'm still battling whether my shoes will be purple or turquoise, paging MOH Luchie, when are we going shoe shopping betsy?

I am sharing them here because I am so proud of myself (hehehe), more can be found on our wedsite.

Weekend is over but no reason to be sad. Even after Tyong Stephen left we set our minds that he's just on vacation and not gone forever. Christmas is fast approaching and I haven't done any shopping yet. But no need to panic, I have already sent my pastry goddess aunt (Tita Eden) my & W's orders, we will give a few friends and some families pastries, saving us the trouble of thinking what to give them - if they will like it or not because I'm sure they'll love the baked goodies.
