back to blog..este work! Ü

Finally I’m back to blog all the things that went so fast in three weeks time. I’m now happily married to my friend and my partner for life..Jeff. At last! Days before the wedding are my busiest days. Good thing I was able to leave from work a week before the wedding, all the cramming and pressures are now paid off. We enjoyed our day and so did our family and friends, that’s what we really wanted.

Up to now I keep on saying thank you to all my friends who attended, they made our wedding more memorable. A simple thank you is not enough for those people who have helped us through the preparations and on the wedding day itself. Especially to Geri and Raymond who can no longer back out from the plan of coordinating our wedding. They brought our doves (almost lost) to the church. I can’t imagine how our wedding would be if they did not attend. Grabe super thank you talaga. I must admit, we were super tensed (especially Jeff) while we were waiting outside the reception, looking at our guests waiting to be seated. Hay, I had to let go. I told myself, bahala na sila dun. I should not worry and that everything will be fine in the end. Jeff can’t barely smile on our shoot with Ralph. I’ll post the pics agad. Since I resumed work today, think I’ll squeeze in some time to blog chikas from the shower down to batangas get away.

Commercial break:
I’d like to thank my friends who called to greet me..super touched ako. calling me that day and serving as my wake up alarm :P hehe! Someone even traced where our house is, just to hand me the gift and greet me & Jeff as well, since he cannot attend the event. I can’t imagine I’m that worthy.(drama ba?) wala lang.. I really appreciated the thought, the time and the effort they gave just to greet me. For my friends who didn’t care to stand in front and arrange my trail for the picture taking. For my friend who took the first reading, responsorial psalm and the second reading too! to everyone who were with us, present or not, thank you talaga. I really am grateful for having all of you as my friend Ü

*more to come Ü

bakasyon na!

yeba yeba! my last day today here at work..be back after three weeks yoohoo!!
im now on the last leg of wedding preps.. Ü
im so excited! mixed emotions talaga.. no time for pressure ( i hope).. bahala na si batman.. i just want to see my close friends to be there on the big day.. though may ilan talaga na hindi na makakapunta.. =( wala ng dadagdag please..

hay.. i can't think of anything to say.. =D im just so excited really! =D

tp sabay tayo talon talon! Ü

verde island

one of the things that excites me..
just sharing this link.. love the place.. mala-palawan din hehe! Ü
Jeff found an alternative to Bohol and Palawan..
so excited! =D

breath in.. breath out..

I cannot actually describe how I feel since our wedding is just two weeks away..excited..nervous.. worried..sad at times.. super I can't wait no more.. i feel for geri.. that I do also want these preps to be over.. grabe lang.. it's not that we are not enjoying..but hello? wish there's an easier way at a lower cost too! hehe! =D

I am thankful though that we are going through this stage..getting married gives you mixed emotions to the max! you experience a lot of things.. you're temper is tested to the fullest..wish I have lots of it.. wish I am one of those who can speak without raising their voice if annoyed or irritated..=( good thing Jeff is very soft spoken.. he can speak for me..

17 days to go.. here's my to-do list:

-shoes for me & mame
-pants and shoes for honey
-upgrade of flowers in church - (not yet sure, coz there's a wedding before us on that day)
-entou gowns, will be ready on April 3 pa. - kulitin ko na on March 31 sana ready for fitting.
-wrapping of gifts for entou and PS
-buy chocolates for the souvenirs - meron kame nakitang sale na impt chocs sa robinson's.
-entou flowers - will meet Tet next week for the payment.
-caterer - will meet Irish next week for the final payment.
-musicians - Jeff sent the song list already. waiting for confirmation from Edwin (Velvet Mood Musicale)
-reserve hotel preps.
-emcee - Jeff met Bobby Galang already and got good feedback. Nag-conive naman sila.. Ü

got my gown already..for Mame's gown try ko ulit mag scout. when we got home kasi i found her dress bitin..though okay lang naman.. eh gusto ko mahaba eh.. =(

what else? wala na ko maisip..

I missed my schedule visit to my dentist. haven't been to the parlor. just lik geri, I need to gain weight. wish effective yung mga chinese vitamins (which i haven't bought yet). worse.. some of the invites are still with me. but will send them out this week.. wish I can work 4 hours a day lang.. then receive pay for 8 hours.. hehe! joke!

lot of pressures! i do hope people would understand if we failed to send them invites. we really wanted to see the people who have touched our lives ever since we started on our wedding day.. but then again i hope they understand..for 5 years, its nice to know that we gained friends..if not..we maintained the friends we have.. Ü we can never forget those people who became instruments why Jeff & I started our love story..

hay.. need to rest na.. got a full packed day ahead.

finally got the time to upload these pics.=D we had our shoot last feb 16 at QC Parks & Wildlife, our photographer Ralph Alejandrino suggested that place and we found it great! we enjoyed the shoot and feeling models kame ni Jeff haha! =D ang galing nga ng honey ko, he can execute ung mga request ni ralph hehe! puro one-take lang! =D

by the way i had a trial make-up that day too with Willy Leocania and yes, i booked him already, with no dp! I've known Kuya Willy since I was in college, but I never had the chance to try his services on make-ups. my mom told me that he's good nga..so why not try db? Ü i liked my make-up naman.. tp? tingin mo? haha! very open naman si kuya willy sa gusto kong maging ayos..so i'll take your comments.. basta tamang honest comment uh? hihihi! Ü

gift's for our sponsors

sponsors
by annasilaran.

again.. from serving tray..to fruit basket.. to this picnis basket! Ü actually, in-assume ko na lang na for picnic nga sya..we got this one na since usefull sya dahil sa kanyang cover. and it's very affordable. we bought it in dapitan arcade. =D

souvenir boxes

souvenir boxes
by annasilaran.

we are currently working on our souvenirs. thank goodness we were able to finalize. from native flower vase to rattan mini cart to this hexagon box. at first we were looking for a ceramic token that will be placed in front instead of the ribbon and flower, but to no luck, we settled for the kikay flower hehe! painting the cover was Jeff's idea. wrapping stuff was mine..Ü we found a cheap tule fabric which i wanted talaga as the wrapper. my only concern is that i feel that it's too orangy(?) hindi ba? anyway this will be the finish product. Ü

ei, jeff suggested that we wrap it this way instead.

Our Discovery Weekend

This could be the most important part of our wedding preparation.. or should I say "marriage preparation". Last Feb 3-5 we attended Discovery Weekend and can you just imagine we're going to a retreat and we are fighting on our way there? =P it's funny I know and very immature. Jeff was late for the 5pm call time we agreed on. We left the house at 6:15(?) and we're suppose to be there by 7pm (for the dinner hehe). Good thing we made it on time and got reason to smile for the initial pose for the pictures. Ooops! Warning though for jane.. spoiler din toh! =D

I'm really glad I didn't read Geri's blog entry of their DW, at least Jeff and I are both clueless of what's gonna happen. This is one of the "firsts" that we have shared together.

I have known Jeff for 5 years now and I just realized that I'm missing the chance of appreciating his endearing qualities. Yes I do know that he's loving, fun to be with..etc. and I just asked myself "why do they have to introduce that way?" maybe for us to take some time to recognize the worth of our partner. Usually kasi, we give more attention to the negative side of the person.

With DW we learned the proper way to dialogue, not just talk, but dialogue. It's been a habit for us to talk about things we are arguing about. Khet na pag saraduhan ko pa yan ng pinto, still mag uusap pa rin kme nyan. We realized why our "talks" were unsuccessful, it's because we are not considering the feelings of the other person concerned. Why he acted that way.. why I'm acting like this..just by empathizing pala you'll be able to understand your partner.

I'm very happy that Jeff participated very well, actually mas meaningful pa nga mga love letters nya kesa sa mga letters ko..=D I thought nga matutulog lang yan at mangungulit, but the opposite happened. We weren't able to finish all the dialogues and sharing.. so may mga pending assignments kame kumbaga and yes, the "dialogues" need to continue even after DW.

Nakakahiya pa nga kasi sa last part I cried sa sharing haha! All of a sudden I remembered our college recollection. You just let your emotions go, over the shoulder of a dear friend. And this time, I've let my feelings go, with my partner holding my hands. Not caring of what people will say about me, about us. The important thing is, I have Jeff beside me..who believes in me.

The Lord has always been with us all through out. We admit na we tend to forget HIM pag super okay ang lahat. But HE's the only one who knows us inside out. Parati nga namin prayer.."please help us stay together.." Ü with DW, mas naging aware kame of our responsibilities as Christians.
Thanks to Geri who gave us the idea about Discovery Weekend and to all w@wies who shared all their insights about it.. didn't have the time to chat with fellow w@wies, sina Ade,Rhea & Nap, and others. My roommate si Trina and her partner Allan (na kasundo ni Jeff sa biruan! =D) hehe! I had a great Discovery Weekend. Super enjoy and very meaningful..Ü

"agabalayan dan"

oh i bet most you can't undertand that.. well me too, not until my Lola(Mamang) mentioned that word. It's an Ilocano word for "mamamanhikan sila".. ilocanang hilaw kasi ako.. hehe!

early morning that day, Jeff and I are already together. It was my birthday that day but honestly i wasn't so excited about "my day".. but I was anticipating on what's gonna happen that night. I wanted to cook, but my mom said "no need". kei fine. she'll take care of it na lang daw.. fine ulet. just cleaned the house, my ever famous "magwalis" talent. =D all's set in the afternoon pa lang. we managed to buy groceries pa nga. Jeff bought 3 giant tilapia, giant na kasi when Bryan saw it, he said "Shark!" hahaha! Jeff taught me how to "clean" a fish. kahiya man aminin, yeah hindi po ako marunong nun, buti pa si Jeff..=( funny pa, kasi when I was working on my fish, binabantayan ako ng daddy ko. don't know if he's concerned na i might hurt my fingers or baka mali ang magawa ko..sniff..

anyway, Tito Ben & Tita Norma (Jeff's side) arrived at 7:30. and sila mommy nasa tindahan pa! tama ba yun? Ate Precy & Mang James arrived at 8, they brought all the food (buti na lang) coz Mame didn't had the time na to cook. Everything went out fine. everybody's enjoying the dinner, while I am very satisfied serving them. dakilang alalay ako nun ah? pero im not complaining. Ü hehe.

while the tanders were talking, syempre discussion about the wedding stuffs, agree naman sila since almost okay na lahat ng details. though we will exert more effort convincing them to stay with us sa hotel for the preps. they want kasi na 12nn ng April 8 sila darating sa hotel. though we understand naman na they need to meet the guests/relatives sa mga bahay namin.. pero sana nandun sila sa hotel, kasi gusto namin na maka pag relax naman sila.. eh since ganon nga.. may magagawa ba kme? hay.. baka entou ko na lang ksama ko sa hotel the night before..

im happy that Jeff can call my mom as "Mame" na.. hindi na Ate Tess.. haha! ganon din kay Dade.. tuwang-tuwang nga nanay ko, pag tinatawag syang mame ni Jeff.. ako, mejo shy pa twagin si Ate Precy ng Nanay.. hehe! cguro in time.. Konting background lang.. kasi Jeff's mom and mommy ko are good friends..as in mag kumare. so mas close ako kay Ate Precy as kabarkada. so nung kame na ni Jeff, mejo nahirapan ako mag adjust kasi less "po" ako pag kausap ko sya. buti okay naman..Ü naging magalang naman ako..hehe!

ayun po muna..at tama kayo, tuloy na tuloy na nga and super excited din kme..Ü

pamamanhikan and licensed to marry

yes you read it right, Jeff's family will only do the "pamamanhikan" tomorrow, super later na i know..and I'm excited about it. why? i really don't know! hehe..=D maybe because I'll be the one responsible in organizing the house, since we have Bryan around nakow! good luck talaga sa aken..=D and I'm planning to cook for them.. ehem.. probably I'll ask Mame if she can give some short instructions. yipee! grabe I need to show-off (?) my abilities (tama ba yun? Ü).. i just want them to be comfortable during their stay..aside from the fact that I'm nervous talaga and praying that everything will be okay, like.. hope they would agree or at least won't object to the plans that we have already settled. and that we'll be able to meet their expectations with regards to the wedding details..(sana within the specified guest # pa din kme..hehe!) hmm.. wonder what to cook para ma-tame ang mga oldies haha! =D

and just an update for the preps, may marriage license na kame.. we just have to wait for the marriage banns, kasi on Feb. 22 pa namin makukuha.. anyway, after that complete na kme sa church requirements since we attended the DW last weekend.. and that's another blog entry..=D

saya-saya!!

Monday, January 23.

Since nasa mood pa din mag wedding preps, I took a day off work. Since wala pa mashdo problem sa project ko, we went to Quezon City Hall to complete the requirements for the marriage license. We attended a family planning seminar. Instead of paying for it to be processed asap, we opted to attend the seminar, we’ll learn something from it naman..though mejo kaka antok ung ibang part.. good thing the speaker knows how to strike a joke once in a while, just to check if his audiences are still awake hehe! But mind you, when the speaker was already discussing about the "wet and dry season", I’m a bit surprised because the guys are all ears! As if they can understand everything. As if all of them can really follow on schedules, hehe! Pero nung ang topic is on “things that could make your marriage stronger” na, hay.. hikaban ng hikaban. Pati tuloy ako, hikab din.. haha! =D

While we were in the seminar, I received a text message from our new broker. pasado daw ako sa pre-evaluation ng developer, and that we can pay the full reservation fee na yahoo!!! =D hay, sana tuloy-tuloy na (crossed fingers)

So, at the end of the day.. we filed the application for marriage license na, we’re getting it on Feb. 3 and good news about our house!! Ang saya-saya db? Hihihi Ü

mini-mini-may-nimo

Sunday, January 22

After Geri’s wedding.. we think that the clock ticks faster than usual.. pwede ba alisin ang lahat ng battery?? So ang target naming for this day is to buy gifts for the entou and sponsors. Sad to say, we can’t find the serving tray w/ glass top. Ayaw ni Jeff ung ibang nakita naming, so looked for other options. For the principal sponsors, we were thinking kung rattan magazine rack or this one..

Fruit tray made in hand woven abaca. Export products po ang mga ito. concern ko lang d2 sa fruit tray, mejo mahirap ang wrapping. and kailangan pb lagyan ng laman? =D hehe! kuripot talaga eh noh? hehe

Geri & Raymond and TMU

January 21, wedding day of Geri and Raymond. Woke up early at 9, had coffee with my honey, some chores and prepared myself since I’m also having my trial make-up this day. Buti na lang I was thinking all along that the ceremony is scheduled at 2:30, so I met Ms. Norma (HMUA) at SM North at 1 pm, it was supposed to be 12 noon,buti she was late and arrived there 12:40 and waited for me. Pasaway talaga ako db? Lesson learned : don’t wait for your partner if you have your own appointment. Walang mangyayari sa antayan.

Ok, so make-up-an na. Sad to say, we don’t have a big mirror during the session. Yeah we do have one but its mounted sa wall upstairs. We had to do the “painting session” sa sala. Na-imagine nyo na ba? Mejo hindi ko kasi type ang aking “do” after. Wish I am one of those lucky people who still look good with make-up on. Pero sabi ni Jeff maganda naman..?? he loves me so much I know that. But honey.. please try to hate me muna when I need your honest opinion.. OA na ba? Sabi kasi ni Roni “ok lang”.. well “ok lang” for me is pangit. Waaahh! I was avoiding that word!!! =(

Anyways, carry na rin sa wedding.. smile na lang ako hehe! =D

Ayan sa wedding na ni Geri tayo mag focus.

We arrived sa church on time (I think). I didn’t go to the hotel na. Sayang, sana sa HMUA na lang ni tp ako nag pa ayos. Anyways, pag dating namin we saw the bridal car of Geri, then all the entourage for 4pm ceremony was asked to organize already. Hay sis, obvious na iba ang nag make-up sa aken..coz ako lang naka taas ang hair-do. =( hay, smile na lang ako sis..=)

A couple of more minutes then the march started, was able to saw Geri pero as in upper face lang.. so surprise pa talaga ang ayos nya. Ü When Tito Gener and Tita Grace was waiting for Geri.. suspense ulet, coz mejo natagalan ang pag-open ng door, I think they were waiting for the right timing, based sa song being sung. Then finally.. here comes the bride walking down the aisle..all smiles.. very refereshed, as if she wasn’t cramming weeks before that day. She did enjoyed her walk, and Tita was crying.. sabi nga ni Nina (one of the abays), Tita Grace’s crying sa hotel pa lang.. and yes I think I saw a teary-eyed Geri as she walked down the aisle. Sino ba hindi maiiyak sa wedding day mo?? Ako din teary eyed hehe! sshh!

The ceremony was solemn all in all, except when the priest greeted the couple for the first time, dun sa part na “ we are gathered here today to witness blah blah…” Haha! Ang pag kasabi kasi ni father is “Chi-Chi and Emon” instead of “Che-Che”..tumawa ba naman si tp sa harap, eh rinig kaya sa mic!! Hehe! Comedy. Yun lang naalala ko na comedy na part.. lahat maayos na. And sipag ni Ate Chary. Full support talaga mga sister nya. Ate Jing was a blast that day too. =)

Then after the ceremony, some pictures.. then off we went to the reception. lahat maganda..loved my bouquet too.. Jeff and I liked the set-up of Swan and by the way, Swan is also our caterer. Ü so when we settled our selves, can’t help but notice Jeff staring and smiling..thinking. Even sa church. He seriously watched the photographers instructing everyone to do this and that.. He got an idea na of what’ll happen to us on our own day too. And yes, he said he’s excited for our wedding already. =D

At the reception, we saw Irvie (with Jayson) and joined us sa table, also came Joy. Also with us are Roni and hubby Gilbert. We enjoyed the food, and had fun. It’s so funny kasi parati naiiwan ni Geri si Raymond. Hehe! The dance floor was open after the program, kaso naman.. ayaw naman ako isayaw ni papa Jeff.. anu ba yun?

Hay, think yun lang ang i-share ko, antayin ko din ang update ni Geri!
Here are some of the pics. Ü

meeting ex-SSIs

Picture 005
by annasilaran.

January 21, 2006.. got another chance of meeting again my ex-office mates..people I’ve been for less than a year but still.. we’re able to develop bonding inside the selda. With my previous work in SSI, my officemates would call our work place as “SELDA” and all of us are mga “KOSA”. Of course meron “MAYORA” but I won’t reveal names here hehe! Ü

the get together was initiated by none other than kakosang Sanhel, this is the second gimmick of the gang in giligans. But this time, most of the attendees are girls. Well, those who advised that “we’ll just follow after blah blah..” we’re the ones present. Syempre, lola Ella was late, hehe! Good thing Jana and Pam met her at her office.. if not, we wouldn’t have an idea what time she’ll be there, hehe! Peace Ella!

A simple dinner w/ little cruiser and ice on the side.. plus lots of kwento! Busog!! So little time to catch up the latest biz of everyone. Ate Kleng (our accountant) was also there, haven’t seen her for about a year, tagal noh? Good thing may bisyo ang lola mag foot-spa.. ayun, Jana dragged her to be with us.. hehe!

Wish I would still have time to meet them when I’m married. Just hope everybody will still keep in touch even through emails. I am also happy that after a year since all of us parted ways and moved on to another step in our careers, I’m glad that everyone is satisfied (at least) with what we have right now, in terms of job and relationship. I really love spending time with friends.. listening to their stories, even problems,..what they’ve been through.. because through that, I learn lessons with out going through what they have experienced. One of my treasures in life.. friends.

blooming daw !!

last night i happen to meet ella, a second degree friend courtesy of eden. we we're on our way home, yippee may ka chika ako until mrt north.. ayun, sabi nya pumayat daw ako.. as usual.. im used to it, that whenever i see someone, sabihin pumapayat ako..=D anyways, sabi naman nya ok lang naman daw.. kumbaga, hindi naman daw pangit... blooming daw ako!! *wink*wink* (anshe blushing) hehe!

sabi ko.. im getting married..kaya daw pala ko blooming! tama ba un? gusto ko na maniwala ah? sabi pa nya kasi, she's sure daw na its not the first time that somebody complemented me that way.. (anshe giggles) oo naman noh!!! nyahahaha!! =D

oops! wala ng kokontra ah? =P
kanya kanyang entry sa blog hehe!
i guess i have to mention that its because of Wheng.. hehe! may beauty secret kme eh! Ü

lahat nga ata ng bride to be eh blooming.. pero its not because I'm preggy ah?
hehe! nabiktima din kasi ako ng notion na ito.. my friend Gelynn asked me if im preggy. nope, im not. at least not yet..
basta enjoy muna tayo being pretty in preps! Ü

accomplishments.. and senti mode..Ü

really tired last saturday..whew!10 am, met Tet Uy of Enchanting Blooms, our florist.. she's so nice kaya we decided na sa sya na lang ang florist namin.. sympre aside from the fact na pretty ang kanyang mga arrangements.Ü ganon pala talaga ang bride.. can't decide at once kung ano ang gusto.. or ako lang ung ganon?, haha! there are a couple of changes sa initial contract namin w/ Tet, imagine we met her at mega trade hall wedding fair last September 24 pa.. at ang down lang namin nun is 500! say nyo?? just to reserve the date..ok db?? plus we get a 10% disc on the tcp. anyways, flowers for the entou lang ang kinuha namin, now my bouquet will be orange and red gerberas/roses.. dati kasi white calla lilies.. though there's an increase w/ tcp, due to the changes, ok na din.. nasunod naman ang gusto ko hehe! Ü

after that, start na ng drive marathon for Jeff.. we went to Dapitan Arcade, think this is along Kanlaon st. Tet advised us that there are also export products available in this area.. kaya hinanap na namin.. then headed to divi before kme mag pa kumpil, sobra traffic!! it's raining kasi.. kaya we decided na mag pa-kumpil na muna..sa St. Michael Church near Malacañang..kumain naba kme?? hehe! daan na muna sa isang carinderia near CEU ba un?? hay sensya na.. for my 4-year college life,, i can count w/ my two hands the times that I laid my feet in this area.. ngaun ko lang nga nalaman kung saan talaga ang exact location ng UE. =D
anyway, while we were filing-up the application froms for the confirmation, Jeff and I were not talking at all.. as in.. fill up your own form! siguro becoz of pagod na din, namali pa nga kme ng simbahan..pero sister, sponsor namin isa't-isa..pero hindi daw pwede un.. kaya, proxy na lang namin isa't isa.. hehe! good thing we got the certificates that day, kaya bati na kme pag labas ng church..=P

hay.. pagod na ko mag-type.. hindi pa tapos ang araw namin.. i'll make it short na, we went to divi to give the bead design of my gown, so, mega lakad na naman, kesa maipit sa traffic. the on our way back, Jeff bumped into one of his staff, since malapit lang ang project nila sa soler. ayun, start na ng problem,, hay.. I can't elaborate more.. basta I had to call Ate Chary (Geri's sister) to cancel w/ the bridal shower.. tama ba un?? yeah i know hindi, pero I have to wait for Jeff to fix ung problem before kme umuwi.. that's the only time i decided that I can still go to astoria for Geri's bridal shower.. wala nga ako gift tama ba un?? =( naging abay pa ko. ako pa nga ung may prize eh.. hehe! thanks to Ate Chary, and Ate Jing and Ate Janet.. hehe! =D I saw Irvie pala, but she's already on her way home pag dating ko sa place.. then nandun si Joy, classmate sa precom! I last saw her sa Ust pa, imagine that! hehe! =D

wala man sa plano, i decided to stay overnyt na lng w/Geri.. had a bleeding nose na nga sa pagod. buti na lang very accomodating mga peeps.. kaka miss ung iba jan.. 2 ng lang kme nag kita sa b-shower.. i had a great time.. khet super late ako =D

to geri, good luck, enjoy the remaining days of being single =P im really happy for this girl, i never thought that we could be friends.. mag kaiba kasi ang group namin nung pre-com, though wla naman problema..if not for ISM.. if she hasn't said that we'll be partners for the thesis, if they had not accepted me in their home during thesis(before we we're adopted by Tita Harriet)..khet nag kagalit kme noon regarding thesis ulet! hehe! =D those were the days.. i guess a million thank you is not enough.. Ü
and now ikakasal na tp ko..=D

im sad

to continue with my last post.. we went to QC City hall last friday.. and now i know the feeling.. been to city hall many times.. and yes.. you need to be tough and alert pag nasa gobyerno ka, or your dealing w/ government employees.. kelangan alerto ka, dahil mauunahan ka sa pila.. u need to be "mataray" sometimes.. dahil ma-bluff ka lang ng mga employees and mga singit sa pila..(mean anshe..) and you need to be smart enough to ask or assume what'll happen next? where to go after this step.. your lucky if you happen to see procedures/guidelines posted in the area.. hmm.. meron naman, pero you need to ask pa din.. which will consume a couple of minutes of your time.. isipin mo pa, saan kaya ung kabilang building?? saan dun?? hay..

for these times in my life.. i can say that a lot of changes are already taking place.. im not saying that im always present for any get-together or gimmick with friends.. pero lately, twice na ko nag cancel after confirming.. i know kaka bad trip un.. pero, what can I do?? ako din naman ang naiipit.. chika with friends na nga lang ang gimmik ko, bat naman ako ndi sisipot kung wala naman big reason?.. i do hope they would understand me, it's not that I chose "some-other-things" over them, it's just that.. i know they are my friends.. hay.. that is why im so sad.. kasi wasn't able to meet my kada last friday.. dami pa namin ginawa after.. and need to to prepare stuffs since we have a full-packed sched the next day..hay na lang.. maybe guilty lang ako kaya ako sad..

gowns, divi mall and Our wedding bands

last sunday we got our wedding bands finally, after a whole day walk on saturday.. we had to go back pa ng sunday for the rings..Ü

saturday, i first saw my gown.. with no beads yet, yun ang arrangement, i wanted to see it first before nila lagyan ng bead works.. at first glance i was so excited, but when I noticed that the upper part of the gown was longer than expected, and that the skirt was mukhang maikli, hay.. im starting to worry.. pero i had to be calm and tried to speak nicely kay Ate Melda, though i felt at first that she doesn't agree na they'll repair the gown and that they just followed the sample that I gave them.. hay, i insisted that they have to. kasi khet sundin nila ung pattern.. knowing that they have my body measurements..dapat sinunod nila ung measurements.. good thing we agreed on some options..na hindi sila mahirapan, and masunod ang gusto ko. =D so, maging 2 layers ang organza ng gown ko..hehe! Ü

after that, we went to 168 mall, canvass kami ng mga gifts for the sponsors.. ung seving tray nga.. hay, it took us an hour before sya makita, and nakaka inis, kasi malapit lang pala sya sa entrance.. eh naku naman, nalibot muna namin, before sya nakita.. ang dami naman kasi ng entrance eh..=P eh di akala ko okay na.. Jeff commented on the type of wood nung product, mas ok daw ung nakita nya sa greenhills.. hmm.. mas metikuloso pa ang hubby ko, tama ba yan?? hehe!

we took a quick break , then off we went to divi mall naman.. gosh! my first time sa divi mall as in.. and i thought I can last the whole day walking in divisoria, but just when I entered the place.. haaayyy.. gusto ko na umuwi.. you can't tell kung saan ka mag start, left? right? 2nd flr ba?? =(
suko ako sa divi mall. to think i wore rubber shoes pa nun, para pang harabas talaga.. no use. uwi na tayo.

we need an accomplishment for the day.. canvass wedding rings.. and we have it na.. hirap din pala mag decide.. hehe! simple band lang.. no brillantes, two-toned white and yellow gold.. pero naman 1k na agad ang difference sa price since we last visited.. eh nov 2005 lang un.. kaya, before pa ulit mag taas ng price bili na tayo.. kaso sa tagal ko(?).. este namin nag decide.. sarado na ang shop.. so we had to go back pa ng sunday morning to buy it..Ü

thanks mahal.. kasi ang napili namin is ung gusto kong design, khet mas mahal.. pinagbigayn ako ni Jeff..Ü hehe! spoiled talaga ko.. muahh!!

was happy about the ring..one item off the list.. more to go.. huhu.. na ngaun ang emo ko..=(

got to go, we're heading to city hall for the license..
