what ever!

mahirap din pala mag isip ng title for a post.. like ngaun wala ko maisip.. Ü
thanks geri and harbie ah? have lots of reasons pala not to bother too much about sa loan namin.. baka mashado lang namin namamadali kaya feeling pressured kme..

these past few days, tumatambay kme ni jeff sa isang convenient store near gas station..teka, nde po kme suma-sideline! we're having a cup of choco while discussing what went through the day..mga naging problema..mga ka-cornihan sa ofc hehe! and I think okay sya kasi it's our quality time together.. syempre we argue sometimes, but the thing is.. maayos kme nag hihiwalay at night..Ü ung mga details kme dalawa lang talaga nag so-solve.. nakaka tuwa. just last night, okay kme the whole time mag kasama kme, then pauwi na lang saka pa ko maba-bad trip! pasaway diba? nde talaga ko makatulog dhil bad trip ako.. kausapin ko nga sya sa fone para lang mag ka intindihan kme.. and its great kasi naka tulog ako ng mahimbing..Ü sobrang himbing nagising ako ng 8.30am, sya pa gumising sa aken! naku po pano kaya ito pag sa antipolo na kme? anong oras kaya ako darating sa office if magising ako ng 8.30?! nyay! =D

Should I worry?..

Everything seemed to be fine not until yesterday, when Ate Miriam came to see me and asked for my valid ids and said that we’re having problems with my ITR. Okay fine, I’m aware of that fact and actually foreseen the possibility of this situation, but not to the point that we have to cash out something. It wasn’t planned, and now the dilemma is, should we find other options to “solve” the problem with my ITR or just give them what they want though it’s not very ethical.

Naisip ko tuloy kung ano ung sabi ni geri,.na parang if its not meant to be, then don’t push it too hard.. baka talagang nde ukol.. pero I think it’s just a matter of choice. Pero baka may reason din kung baket kme nagkakaproblema ng ganito. Hay, bahala na nga si batman..

Ayan tuloy.. feeling ko blurred na ung picture ng soon-to-be house namin. Well, we’re yet to decide. Under negotiation pa. Ü

will post again for updates..

updates: talked to ate miriam, she'll find an option daw, maybe i-loan na lang daw namin sa banko. hay,,hope it will be ok na.. at least, one thing learned, we should never give up or lose hope easily.. mas maliit din daw ang interest pag sa bank, 10% pero feeling ko ung iba nga banko mas mababa pa..sa PNB daw i try ni ate miriam, kasi me kilala daw sya dun..(fingers crossed..) hopefully maging vivid na ulit ang picture ng bahay..Ü

Panic mode..on a Monday!

Last night I transferred our guest list in excel.. just to get a glimpse of the number of our guests..imagine we are planning not to exceed 250 pax.. nung mag total na ako eh 282! grabe, hirap naman mag trim down..hay.. no matter how we try na mag cost cut sa ibang details ng wedding.. biggest part talaga ang sa caterer..hay.. saan kaya ako pde mamulot ng pera? meron pa kaya magic hen ngaun na mangitlog ng ginto?!

sobra nagbranch out na problema ko.. wish pa naman namin bumili ng laptop.. my new fone..hay..Ü

got to find a sideline..sideline..sideline.. pde kaya ko sa timog? hehehe! bugbugin ako ni Jeff.

hay.. maka pag trabaho na nga..Ü

nde ko na ma access ang yahoo and gmail ko.. bad trip talaga. un na nga lang ang consuelo sa mga devs eh..(arte!) pero db? nag babayad naman sila eh may pa block-block pa, wag lang sabihin na security chuva, eh kaya nga me mga system admin.. kaso tong mga sysad block ng block..hay naku talaga!.. nde naman halata na bad trip talaga ko db?

d bale na nga.. wala din naman mangyari..buti meron pa din ako ym hehe!

chow muna.

Partially Ours..

yahoo! downpayment was made last night already.. so we partially own the house na..hehe! we're so happy! now its time for "tipid mode" ..Ü
apparently, before we part ways (ni jeff) kagabi, he mentioned that a "friend" of his texted and said that she's happy for our engagement.. dapat ba kong maniwala? because im uneasy with that kind of thought.. kasi naman its seems like a threat.. sana lang, that friend is REALLY happy for us.. kasi if there's something behind that text message..naku pow! nde ko lang alam.. hindi lang ako maka-react mashado kasi im not yet the wife.. hay.. paranoid lang siguro ako..sana nga.

basta masaya kme ni jeff, and i won't let anything come between us.. happy mode ulit ako..Ü

The Church..Mary the Queen Parish!

Finally, we have reserved our church for the wedding..located in Madison St. in Greenhills, near Xavier school.

actually, we already made a tentative reservation last august pa..unfortunately.. we had no time to do the reservation, and mejo undecided pa kami about the venue, whether we're having a garden wedding or indoor ba? so kanina, ( i-kwento ko na para mas masaya!) we went to intramuros, just to take a look at the garden venues that we see at the internet..we went to Puerta Real, ganda ng view..and wala ako mai-reklamo..dahil, khet buong barangay eh pde namin invite.. Ü imagine at 12 noon we were there taking pictures! na tipong kaming dalawa lang ung tao! tas meron isang foreigner na ewan ko ba kung photographer ba talaga un.. he's also taking pictures.. mega pa cute kme ni Jeff, kasi feeling namin kasama kame sa pics nya! hehehehe! anyways.. so napagod kme.. and we decided to go to Manila Aquarium..(katabi lang sya ng Puera Real) to see the diff fishes (malamang!) while nagpapalipas ng init.. and kakahiya man aminin.. ngaun lang ako naka appreciate ng shark! and sobrang lalaki ng mga isda! kakatakot tingnan.. sabi nga ni Jeff parang ang sarap daw ihawin!!! hahahaha!

then after, we went to baluarte de san diego, so picture-picture kme ulet. feeling foreigner kme..and we enjoyed the view..at least nde man kme dun mag celebrate ng wedding, we were able to enjoy the place naman.. na kme dalawa lang talaga..sad part is, we weren't able to ride the kalesa..nde pa kasi ako nakasakay nun.. pedicab lang kme.. hehehe!

after intramuros, although we both loved the place, we know for a fact that we can't afford to have a garden wedding, magbranch-put na lahat ng expenses..addl flowers, chairs, setup..etc. Jeff suggested that we make a "tally-sheet" for all the venue that we are considering, UP Church of the Risen Lord, Puerta Real, Baluarte de San Diego, and MTQ(indoor)..we considered the view, cost, Parking lot, electricity, Cr's, accesibility of the place..and alam nyo ba? the winner is..(drum roll!) Mary the Queen Parish! with 76% oh db? hehe!

finally, we have a church na.. and we are both happy with the decisions we are making..no regrets in the end kumbaga..kasi pinag isipan namin dalawa.. so happy! for this another accomplishment.. eto pa, while we were filing the application form, meron daw nag inquire if available pa ang April 8 at 3:30,..buti na lang at sakto! reserved na namin..kung hindi naku pow! change date kme..Ü

hay haba na pala post ko..next time ulet! antok na ako..Ü

One major accomplishment..

last night we went to isarog st. QC to meet Mrs. Lacorte, owner of our prospect house..now it's gonna be our house-to-be.. since Mrs. Lacorte agreed that we pay only 100k as downpayment..galing db? Ü pero sad to say, nde kme nakatawad kahit man lang 50k.. hay.. pero d bale na.. we are thinking na we have to be thankful na that she agreed on the dp..that's a big help already since we are getting a loan to pagibig for the payment of the property..at least nde na namin problemahin saan kme kukuha ng malaking pang-down in case db? Ü

we are soooo happy! we have a house we can call our own na.. well, almost.. hehe!

come monday, Jeff will meet Mrs. Lacorte again to make the downpayment.. ate miriam (broker courtesy of geri! ) will also be there since she will prepare the notarized contract to sell document. so everthing will be legal. hay im so excited! lalo na si jeff, kasi it was his plan (& will) talaga that we hopefully get a house before the wedding..now, he made it! thanks mahal! muahh! Ü

ofcourse i want to mention, my deepest thanks to my thesis-partner, soon-to-be-neighbor geri.. kasi she was the one who accompanied us to cogeo and introduced to ate miriam..if not because of her, we won't be able have our house2b..thanks so much Geri! besides, i know the same house din ung prospect nila before..sana talaga maging neighbors tau tp.. sana makakuha na din kayo ng property..God bless you and Raymond..Ü

yun po muna, work muna ko..

..Back in each other's arms

yup.. you read it right, we're back in each other's arms after a night of fight and blaming..
I even thought that night that the wedding won't push through.. bcoz Jeff had already said that he's pissed off with me..=C well i can't blame though, i was always the one who demands..and dictates..im the dominant bitch.. (okay..i must admit).. I never forgot that we are partners here..but what im doin with our relationship doesn't imply that.. I was always blaming him of not doin' this and that.."you should have done this..", "haven't I reminded you already?.." those were the common phrases that you would hear from me..when we're together at least..

i even said that he doesn't console me whenever i feel bad about not getting my prospect venue for our wedding.. but i did not even bother if he's okay or if he's having problems with his work/projects..

well both of us have our own shortcomings..and sad to say..we had to make each other's eyes swolen for crying.. just to realize the fact about our relationship..

i think, our love for each other holds us togother..that no matter how stubborn Jeff is.. and how domineering I maybe.. we would still be here for each other.. because I know that if I were to retain one last important thing in my life..it would be Jeffrey..

House-hunt

our wedding day is scheduled on april 2006, pero as early as now, we are looking for our house na..just to be safe.. we might spend a lot for the wedding..and we have to make sure that after that day..we have a place we can call our own..=)

buti na lang sobrang mabait ang tp ko..sinamahan nya kme sa cogeo, antipolo.. and introduced us sa kanyang broker.. we visited this red-yellow house..worth 1M.. bagong renovate sya.. nice ung location, though the street going to phase 5 is narrower compared to other streets.. It has a garage since the lot area is 218 sq.m. According to Jeff, the house is at around 90 sq.m. we were able to see the inside na din.. 2 bedroom.. mejo maliit ung loob..pero for a starter like us.. ok na un..if we wanted to improve something, maybe at a later time na cguro..ang concern lang namin is we can transfer there anytime we want.. kumbaga kme na lang un ina-antay ng bahay hehehe! maluwag ung harap and ung likod.. we are thinking pa nga to setup a garden sa likod..and maglalagay kme ng hamok(duyan) hehehe!

CR..we will modify the bathroom kasi mejo maliit ung sink..good thing meron na kme item na gusto ni jeff for the cr.. pero teka.. nde pa pala namin binibili to ha? hehehe! puro plano na eh noh? tom we will meet the owner of the house, Mrs. Lacorte, and we'll try to make tawad.. =D sana pumayag.. by the way the owner agreed na 100k lang ang downpayment namin.. then i-loan namin sa pagibig ung remaining..basta sana makatawad pa kme..=D pinag uusapan na nga namin ni jeff ung mga gagawin namin improvement sa bahay.. like kme dalawa ang mag paint.. kme gagawa sa garden.. kakatuwa..=)

Sana we are making the right choice, kasi wala naman na kme iba mkita na 1M tas 200sq.m ang lote, lalo na sa qc noh? almost same lang din naman ung layo, the last time we went to antipolo, 22 kms from cogeo to tandang sora.. and from cogeo to makati, 1 hr lang din.. madami din fx goin to makati.. plus! maging neighbors pa kme ni geri!!!

hope everything will fall into place.. Ü
