The big escape!

Last Saturday we went to Leo's Leisure Park to relax and unwind while celebrating our anniversary and we had soooo much fun over that weekend..may hang-over pa nga ako ng bakasyon..=D

Grabe we already left the house when I realized that I don't have my map with me. Ay sus pano ba yon? So mega takbo pa ako sa isang computer shop just to print it.. hay, and at that time Jeff had no idea kung saan kme pupunta, basta alam lang nya we're off to pampanga. We are both excited sa trip,and feeling ko nag mamadali si jeff mag drive.. kaso nag wi-wiggle ung car pag sobrang bilis na..kaya everytime na ganon.. kinakantahan ko sya ng "wiggle it.. just a little bit! " haha! =D but anyways, we're safe naman when we got to the place.

The place is beautiful, at first nga I thought nde sya ma appreciate ng honey ko..good thing he did. Malapit lang ung place, we were expecting nga na 2 hours pa ung travel time namin from San Fernando exit..then gulat na lang kme, ayan na pala ung entrance nung resort/park. Kita na namin agad ang mga horses and sheep na nasa field.

After organizing our things, we rented a boat and fishing rods. Nakaka tawa! kasi ako ung sa unahan na part then sa likod si Jeff. Eh maliit lang ung bangka namin.. haha! Tawa ko ng tawa kasi parang natatakot ako, naalala ko ung kina harbie na mas mabigat ung nasa likod ng bangka.. haha! Tas bawal ang extra movements.. kasi nga baka mag vertical ung bangka namin..=D tas ung pag paddle pa namin.. parang saliwaan kme? Buti na lang at umaandar kme..malaki ung lake/pond.. at naikot na namin ung buong lake eh wala pa din kme huli..=D it was our first time na mag fishing at si Jeff ang taga lagay ko ng bait. Hehe! Nag picture picture din kme while nasa bangka.. na tipong I would request Jeff to paddle more so maka punta kme dun sa mga angle ng gusto namin.. at feeling ko lahat ng kuha ko eh sablay..=D when it started to rain a bit, paddle na kme pabalik, kasi baka bigla lumakas nag ulan eh pag tawanan pa kme dahil sa pag mamadali mag paddle pabalik hehe! =D

After boating, we rested a while ang walked around.. relaxing talaga..sayang lang dahil cloudy, hindi kme maka pag star gazing nung gabi..then another first, our first time for a full body massage..=D sarap grabe..tas ang cool pa kasi ung room na nakuha namin is a fan room, no need for an aircon and under it, you would hear the continuous flow of running water..kasi sa harap naman is clear water pool.. o divah? Sobrang relaxing talaga..after the massage we had our dinner.. hay, can u imagine.. inaawat na ko ni Jeff ngaun sa pagkain? Grabe mejo creepy pa nga eh,, kasi natatakot ako whenever mag move ung mga bamboo trees.. tapos nung moring.. nagulat kme kasi ang lakas ng bumagsak sa roof ng room namin.. mga ibon pala.. ung ostrich daw! Haha! =D

After breakfast, ayan na.. gising na ang mga animals.. ung ostrich, naku po! Nang hahabol, buti na lang at naka tago agad ako sa malapit na mga shed! Tas try ulet kme magisda ni Jeff..this time, kelangan may mahuli kme para may pang lunch kme..=D

So tagal na naming palipat-lipat ng pwesto..tagal na din naming nag aantay.. lastly lumipat kme sa isang area na wala mashado current kasi nga dulong part na nung pond.. akalain mo ba naman na may nahuli si Jeff na isang malaking tilapia, as in huge! Kasi sobrang nag bend ung fishing rod..and hindi na maiangat ni Jeff kasi nga ambigat nya..I turned my back for a sec to get the cam, and ayush! The fish escaped!! Arrrggghh! Muntik ko maitulak si jeff sa pond sa sobrang inis talaga! It such a big catch then naka wala.. mas malaki pa sa mga nahuli the day before, kasi they had a Fishing competition..waahh! kainis talaga. We tried again, hoping mahuli namin sya ulet, pero feeling ko.. un na yun.. ayoko talaga umalis don unless maka huli kme ulet, pero its already 12nn and we had to leave na..sayang..=( d bale, babalikan namin ung huge tilapia na yun..

It's such a great weekend for us, and a memorable anniversary. Last anniversary na mag bf. Hay kakabitin ung bakasyon..=D wala kme ginawa kundi mag tawanan, at pagtawanan ang mga sarli namin..hehe! we're looking forward for more quality time together..ilang months na lang.. and finally we'll be staying together.

* upload ko po next time ung pics..

5 years

Dec 17.. our 5th year anniversary..=D
and we are on our way to pampanga for another get away..since it all started with a getaway too five years ago..Ü

got to go..ciao! Ü

Whole day together..

Since I was so busy these past few days.. today, have to make it up for my beloved..

Morning, have a scheduled fitting with tet for geri’s wedding. Call time is 10 am. And isn’t it so annoying when u have planned your days’ activities and then you realize that no one will baby-sit bryan? We don’t have an option kundi isama si bryan. I was suppose to leave the house at 9 am.. so ni-ready ko na si bryan prepared all his stuff. We’re ready at 9.. now, where’s jeff? He promised that he’ll drop me off katipunan, and isasama nya muna si bryan.. 9:30, and 9:45, bad trip na ako kasi ayoko na ma-late ulit sa fitting with tet.. nahihiya na ko kay geri.. since tanghali na.. bryan’s all set..nauna na nga ung bata sa gate..had no choice kundi iwan sya sa lola ko who was sick then..and tama bang umulan pa? so kawawa lang ung bata.. so better na iwan ko na lang..and bahala na kung uwi ng maaga si daddy ko..

Good thing, uwi pala si daddy around 10:30.. so may mag alaga na kay bryan..:)

Kainis pa, when I left, sya naman text ni jeff na he’s ready to pick me up..gosh tama ba un? So khet bad trip ako, as in galit na ako.. hinatid pa din nya ako khet na sinabi ko na wag na nya ko ihatid..so it ended up that he stayed with me hanga kila tet.

The fitting was fun. Natutuwa ako sa gown ko.. I need to buy a dozed pa ng papaya soap para pumuti ako. Para bumagay dun sa gown..=D and I can’t gain weight na.. as if naman tataba ako eh noh? kasi tama na ung fit nung gown sa akin.. minor lang ang revisions.. I just don’t know ngaun..think there will be a change in style for the geri’s ss gowns.. pasensya na geri ha? Wala ako mashado ma-icomment sa gown, kasi ok naman sya for me.. simple.. ung din naman ung gusto ko..elegante and simple tignan.. mukha lang wala pa dating kasi nde pa kme naka ayos.. but anyway.. I know everything will be beautiful on your big day..Ü

After namin kina geri.. sabit ako sa work ni jeff.. we visited ung work nila sa parc chateau, had lunch sa mcdo in ortigas.. then punta din kme sa valle verde 1.

Sa valle verde 1, nakaka tawa kasi kailangan naming i-maintain ung garden na ni-put up ni jeff for his client. Since bago pa lang sya, ung garden.. kailangan alisin ang mga san chai ( damong ligaw) hehe! So nung tapos ko na linisin ung garden sa harapan ng bahay.. I went to check out ung ginagawa ni jeff.. grabe, mag didilig lang.. ang tagal.. so inagaw ko ung ginagawa nya.. so while watering the blue grass.. I was standing there.. and then a thought came to my mind…that I wish it was our house we are in that very moment.. and my honey is watching me from behind while I do the chores at home. Hay.. wish a wish wish wish!! Konti na lang..

So after work.. I asked Jeff if he wanted to go sa baywalk..kaso I understand that he’s already tired of driving.. so we decided to watch harry potter.. funny thing is sa glorietta pa nya gusto manood, I suggested we watch in gateway, kasi we haven’t been there. Kaso he’s the driver..=D

We enjoyed the movie.. as always.. naka tuwa since may love interest na si harry.. and ang ganda ni Hermione..Ü tawa ko ng tawa sa part when harry smiled and the juice spilled off his mouth!! Haha!! Grabe TO un..

What a long day we had.. pero its not enough pa rin.. mejo sumisimangot pa kme pareho whenever we had to part ways at night. Hay patience..patience..

till my next blog..Ü

Honey’s birthday

Hello po..Ü think mag blog na ko, bago pa man mag dagdag ng mga wink wink sina beng at jane..=D
Jeff's birthday was last Nov. 18, and guilty nga ako eh..kasi sobrang busy ako, nawalan na ako talaga ng time to prepare.. months before it I planned to give him a surprise. Dami ko pinag tanungan na venue, and ang sama ko ba..ni isa sa mga yun nde namin napuntahan.. on that night, Friday, nag tampo pa sa akin si jeff, kasi I was suppose to go home early..as usual..work, so I left the office ng 9pm. To think na I don’t even have a bar of chocolate with me to serve as my gift. Good thing he’s late for a couple of minutes, I got the chance to drop by at 711, picked some items.. cheap noh?

Haven’t had dinner that time so when jeff arrived, sabi ko dinner muna kme at kfc since un lang accessible at that time. Before we went down, I gave him my gifts..=D kahit corny need to share this, kasi may mga meaning kung bakit ko pinili ang mga un.

I gave him, cadburry chocolate bar, the one with nuts and fruits..para the years ahead of him will be more fruitful, since mag ksama na kme by that time. Saka para mas maging sweet pa sya..Ü

I gave him, flat tops..it resembles more of me.. not because im flat.. but we all know naman na flat tops is still one of our, at least our fave chocolates..lalo na if tipid mode.. hehe! Na even if he can afford to have other chocolate bar, he’ll still crave for the orig one..so for me, it symbolizes loyalty. Na sa akin pa rin babalik ang mahal ko tumikim man sya ng ibang chocolate or nde..=D

I also gave him, Pringles.. para once you pop, you can’t stop. So for us, when we finally get together.. we won’t stop realizing our dreams.. dreams of helping our parents.. our friends.. those people who have helped us all along.

Lastly, I gave him a bottle of san mig.. not that I want him to get drunk..(no wink*wink*!!)
But bcoz sa aming samahan.. walang iwanan..=D haha! Tama ba? Or mali ung mga tag line ko? So un.. I pray lang na wala na talagang iwanan..coz I really can’t imagine my life without him.. just the thought of it makes me cry..

So ayun.. ganun lang ka simple ang birthday night ni jeff.. corny pero I know were happy together.. =D

Love you so much honey.. muah!! Ü

It's our monthsary..Ü

yeah today is our 59th monthsary..Ü
and i know tampo sa akin honey ko kasi for these past few weeks, sobrang late na ko umuuwi.. and we have to be satisfied sharing moments over a cup of hot choco in a convenience store at night..sniff.. pipi monthsary mahal!! Ü corny noh, wala man lang special celebration.. u just wait.. hehe! =D

ciao! uwi pa lang ako..

The Venue

Finally..we have our reception venue and its gonna be in Valle Verde 6 Club house..Ü

Last Friday we went there to pay the venue fee, good thing I talked to Benedict ( fellow W@wie ) ..he helped us in the reservation of the place, actually friend nya ang nag reserve for us. Bait db? So pag dating namin dun ni Jeff, ang sabi nga naka reserve na daw w/ ..(i won't mention the name na lang.) buti na lang I asked kung ano name ng friend ni Benedict and good thing din na napa reserve nila..Sobrang thank you talaga sa knila..Ü

That day din, there's an event, wedding din.. so naka set up ang lahat, tables, platform for the couple, sound system.. so we got an idea of what our setup would look like..syempre iba sa knila db para masaya! ayan ang dami na agad ideas ang naisip namin ni Jeff.. nag video-video pa kme hehe! pero nde naman na kme lumakad sa gitna..=p tas ilang minutes lang.. buti nasa labas na kme.. dumating na ung bridal car hehehe! =D

after namin sa VV6 nag punta naman kme sa divisoria, nagcanvass para sa gowns and barongs.. we got the cotanct / shop from W@w din..kaso since ang plan lang is mag canvass.. wala ako dala na sample ng mga gowns.. nakaka tawa nga eh.. kasi ang una namin pinuntahan ung Baby's Embroidery Shop.. tas ung girl na staff dun.. syempre tanong-tanong.. tas nahalata nya cguro na tumitingin ako sa katapat na shop..kasi meron ako nkita dun na okay ung design..akalain mo ba naman na ayaw na kme paalisin..sobrang nde pa kme tumatawad..binababa na agad nya mga price..oh db? pero sana talaga sila na ung pinaka ok dun.. sanay kasi ako na nag lilibot muna then compare tas saka pa lang makipag deal.. so ang nangyari nga is dun na lang kme naka punta kasi okay naman ung mga products/gown nila..nde na kme lumibot pa.. imagine before kme mag punta dun sa shop ni ate Melda.. umabot kme sa dulo..as in dulo ng divisoria.. kasi un ung nakita namin na Jollibee..tas meron din Tambunting na malapit sa Jollibee.. yun pala..lampas na kme..so balik kme ulet khet pa malakas nag ulan ay nag lalakad kme ni Jeff..hay.. buti na lang at game si Jeff sa ganon at hindi umaangal.. ako pa nga nag co-complain eh.. kasi napuputikan na ung paa ko..=C arte noh?

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

blocked again

hay naku, bket ba kasi parati na lang bina block ang mga yahoo mail, etc. =C
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

(picture courtesy of geri ulet! )

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

After a long break..

yes am back.. after a long break from posting hehehe!
dami ng nangyari.. after ng bridal shower ni harbie, came the wedding day..the despedida.. the house hunting sa antipolo with geri..and a new work!

grabe granda ng wedding nila harbie and alfredo! and nakaka tuwa ung groom kasi you can see that he's emotional and i bet everybody can tell that he loves harbie so much!! saka nakaka tuwa sila kasi bungisngis-an silang dalawa hehehe! obviously they enjoyed their day.. Ü

nung despedida nila harbs and alfredo (mon. aug 22 05) naman wala sila geri and roni .. eh kasi naman lakas din naman ng ulan non.. aside from its a monday night.. hirap talaga mag pa gabi knowing you have a work the next day.. grabe obvious din that they enjoyed their honeymoon.. saya nga ng kwento nila, at as usual tawa kme ng tawa hehehe! pero the sad part is.. they are leaving in two days..so wish man namin umuwi ng maaga, we opted to stay a while pa coz we'll miss harbie na.. i don't know when will they be back.. pero as i've said to harbie.. the kada will have its "re-union" at las vegas!! hahaha! oh db? bonga-cious! hay harbie we'll surely miss you..

btw, aug 22 was first day at sgs.. my new work place.. since im working under primetec now. ok yung company.. nice people to be with.. friendly si jass, the first person who approached me and offered free juice and ice tea hehehe! and one good thing.. most of my office mates come to office around 10am.. meaning.. nde na ko OP! hehehe! good thing flexi time na ako.. though im trying my best to report at 9am.. para i can go home early din..

..Harbie's Bridal shower

last friday we had a surprise bridal shower for harbie..since the big day is on the 11th of this month..sobrang saya.. Ü pero feeling ko that night ako ung pinaka naughty..=( bcoz of my gift.. hehehe! we had so much fun.. kaso ang corny ni geri maaga umuwi.. hmpf! un lang.. Þ

..Ralph Alejandrino

last sunday..july 31, we came to meet Ralph Alejandrino at his house in kalayaan ave.
and we might make reservations as soon as we got time..hehehe!

we saw the sample albums and we find it very nice..although its not as fancy as the other albums / work that we usually see at wedding exhibits at the mall.. you will notice the elagance and simplicity complementing each other..ok pa din pala ung classic style.. as what Ralph said.. when we grow old.. we can still enjoy our wedding album with out commenting on too much software effects..Ü oo nga naman.. baka corny na sa atin un pag mejo aging na tau hehehe!

the plus factor for Ralph is that he offers a different type of guestbook.. well, at least not the usual guestbook that i've signed on and seen at the malls.. the pictures taken during the pre-nup will be used/displayed at the said guestbook.. Ü

if ever this will be our first accomplishment since apr 15.. when we got engaged..Ü

but honey.. we dont have our venue yet?..=(
we set a target date, that we MUST have our venue before aug 15.. oh wish we can beat that..Ü
