Me brainy in mayhem!!!!!!

Me bored

Me tired

Me confused

[This is a result of lack of challenges in my life]

Can anyone give me a kick and give me something to challenge me?! hehe

I'm helpless, I'm definitely going to the mall and grab a pack of crosstich to make my self busy. This has always been my initial step to fight boredom.hope it'll still work for me. Last week I tried shopping, it only lasted for a couple of good hours. hayyyy..layf ano ba pwede gawin pang alis ng pagkabato!?  I made a list, but the problem is I realised I want to do a lot of things, that now I am actually confused which one to do first! nyahahaha

I know luka luka ako. ker bears!?

as in.

felt like my life in Dubai is becoming to be like a routine. House-Office-Mall-House. Its my first time to experience ramadan while in Dubai (as usually in the Phils for my hols during this time)

I hope things will be more 'exciting' and back to normal.

I hate that everyone is busy on something. Looking forward to Eid holidays though : )

Blog EntryBig Quake in the CitySep 10, '08 9:19 AM
for everyone

Yup, we just had an earthquake in Dubai..

Totally scared me up as our office is on the 9th floor (dati nga 4th floor lang e scared na ko hehe)  buti hndi ako inabutan sa 25th floor kasi dun ako nanggaling before the quake. its around 3:00 pm Dubai time and lasted mga 5 -7 secs. I can really feel my body swaying hehe katakot. Good thing I still have someone with me. (Our office now finishes at 3:00 pm because of Ramadan timings) and madalas ako lang naiiwan sa office.

But the ironic thing is I had to stay pa muna sa loob after the quake kasi hndi pa ako naglulunch! and im so hungry na ( dito po ngayon sa Dubai bawal kumain sa public places because of Ramadan) and I know I don't know till what time I'll be out of the building so mega to the max kain in 3 minutes ang ginawa ko haha! wa poise talaga.. keber.. hehe

im back in the office now still scared baka may aftershock pa hehe.. too bad i can't go home yet coz Errol had to finish a project..waaahh!! He might need to stay late again so I'll join my colleagues for Iftar (breaking of the fast ng mga muslims) later nalang sa Fairmont.

so scary ayoko talaga ng lindol... bagyo na lang hehe

Blog EntryI Miss you : (Jul 29, '08 3:44 AM
for everyone

I miss Max.

He's my dog. And it really breaks my heart that up till today hndi pa din kami magkasama.. : (

The other day, I felt so sad kasi Errol and I sat down and talked about our plans for Max. (totoo serious usap hehe) and we thought the best way for us is to have our friend adoopt Max na lang. Its for his good, we thought. Kasi if I'll keep him with us, we won't be able to got out everyday to give him is daily walks. The selfish side of me says that's okay. May weekends nman.. pero the other side of me thinks about the dogs welfare. He definitely needs to go out kasi naman hello maghapon na sya sa bahay diba boring un and he needs the walks for his health. Exercise na nya un eh..

So I finally called Ate Via ( my friend who gave Max to me) and told her of our plans. She also felt sad. She even told me to just send Max to the Philippines. Kasi nman itong friend ko na if ever aadopt kay Max will be moving to Ras Al Khaimah.. meaning malalayo na ng tuluyan si Max sa akin and just to see him, todo effort dapat kasi nman 2 -3 hour drive ata un layo nila from Dubai.

Yesterday, I should have called Dexter (ung magaadopt kay Max) but I was not able to call him.. anyway I can't let go of my Max kasi e. Alam nyo un.. I remember when I was a child, my uncle gave me this very nice doll that even when I was in high skul doll ko pa din sya, hanggang sa mawala na ung mga fingers nya.. I still can't let her go. I gave it a fight until matagal na ung head nya.. hehe. What more can you expect if its a pet? A pet who in a way have shown me how much he loves me.

Until last night, inaayos ko ung mga anik anik nung ksal when I saw this cd of the photos from my bridal shower... and in there I saw this...

So can you tell me how can I let go of such an adorable baby?

That was Max under my chair/ between my legs during my bridal shower.. i remember nakikigulo din sya samin that time.. : ) He's very sweet.napakalambing and he barks pag nakikita nya may sumisigaw or parang inaaway ako.. pramis kunwari umaarte kami na sinasakal ako ni Errol.. nagagalit sya kay Errol hehe : P

I felt really sad when I saw this pic kasi I have been avoiding to look at photos of him kasi nga namimis ko na sya hehe.. but in a way I realised last night that maybe I should really fight for him. What u think?  My best pal May, told me to keep him no matter what if he means a lot to me, or just send him home at least I know my Mom will love him.. well definitely, I know she'll love him more than I do. Im chasing my agent to work on this issue if not possible talaga sa bahay, Im now investigating bringing him home. I was advised its cheaper to bring him when I fly home and have him as an additional baggage. If you are in Dubai and know any info about flying pets to the Philippines.. please drop me a message.


Blog EntryFinding GOLD in DubaiJul 23, '08 9:44 AM
for everyone

I did found gold in Dubai! I found a 'good friend to treasure dito sa lupang tunubuan ng mga arabo at camels..  

This was a photo taken last April during our dinner cruise at Beateux Dubai ( at the Dubai Creek) with Errol and Gaby's family. Kakatuwa kasi nag-date kami lahat kasi gusto daw ako ma- meet ni mother nya. They are all so sweet. Kasama sa photo ung gf nya, si Alla, his sister Nina and niece Nour and nephew Karim.

The vessel is very nice and the food was great. Medyo boring lang kasi wala silang entertainment. May pianist daw sila before pero pinalitan nila ng background music. Setting was semi-formal. It was our first time to have the dhow cruise tpos sa totyal pa o di bah : )

We also got our very first wedding gift that night! Nina gave us a hand made artifact from Lebanon (parang frame na sinasabit sa wall) which says 'God Bless our Home'. Its so nice and so delicate.. and I'm really glad that our first gift is that meaningful and parang feeling ko God is with us on this wedding talaga. hihi

He was such a sweetheart, imagine umatend pa tlaga sila ng wedding namin ha.. bitbit ang gf. Though am sad kasi he's leaving the country na, for another opportunity. Hay mamimiss ko talaga yang amo kong yan!

Its always nice to know that you can still find good friends in the most unexpected places.

Blog EntryLife's a Wheel....Jul 20, '08 10:22 AM
for everyone

sometimes your up sometimes your down..

don't expect you'll always be at the top, enjoy the moment but after that, expect that your turn to be at the bottom will come.. maybe not soon but it will come..

Life's not always in cloud nine, that you'll get everything you want. Everything have their counter parts. ei good & bad, happy & sad, positive & negative, high and low, hot & cold

What's important is you'll savour the moment when your at the top, and be strong to face whatever comes when your down, and ofcourse be positive that you'll be at the top again. Life's like that.. its a wheel. Sabi nga nila 'gulong ng buhay' hehe

These past fews months, I was in cloud nine.. wedding, holidays with family really having a great time! But then when we got back from hols, a major catastrophe came our way.. we met this ever demonyitang landlady to robbed us of oour own money!! yes as in she's a devil, considering that she's also a Filipina. grrr.. she makes my blood boil. It was a hella of a week Ilyn and I was not able to got to work, strugling to find our 'home'. As things always have their highs and lows.. the high part for this experience is that we knew who our real friends and tested our patience hehe. I am thankful for such good friends who lend their hands and food and bathroom to us! haha

We did finally found our new place.. (new pics to be posted soon)! Hay you could imagine how relieved we are! Its nice nman in fairness (though our old place is much nicer and spacious). The building itself is nice with facilities (s.pool and gym baby!!) and the location is quite okay. Though we still have to travel 25mins to work unlike before that I used to walk to and from the office. The low part with this is that I was not able to bring my dog with us to this new place. Apparently the landlord do not want pets in the building but out agent is working on with it as my poor dog is such a sweetheart nman and I promised he would  not make any noise nman e. I terribly terribly miss my baby!! Its been a month since my friend Dex adopted him for since I am working with the landlord about my dog. I mean life is so unfair!!!  Yes, we did got our place.. but it doesn't mean that they cannot let me have my dog!! who is by the way a ver special part of me na. I love him and it breaks my heart that up till this moment I haven't seen him!!! : (

Since our new place is quite far and transpo has been an issue, (and Errol really want to have his car long long ago!) we got a new blessing! And we named him Elmo Pachuchay Galang hehe (story and phots to be posted soon) and just last week as I was so high with a very good news from the office. I was so blessed and really tahnkful about that!! But here comes my hubby Errol... last friday he just saw something black floating in his eyes..!!! my gosh will this ever not stop!!?? haha naloloka na ako!! We had an appointment to an eye doctor today to know what that thing is. However I checked online na and learned that this 'floater' as they call them is not that serious nman and will fade soon, but I think its still better to have it checked diba? hay I am just so hoping that everythings gonna be alright.

I'm so used to having this kind of routine na nga e.. and I am waiting for the good thing to come na.. kaso after that baka nman bad thing na nman!!! wahehehe

anu ba yan : (


Blog EntrySurprise me : )Jul 2, '08 7:51 AM
for everyone

I love surprises. And I love to give surprises.

I just love the feeling whenever I see the faces of my loved ones upon knowing or seeing my surprise to them. Its priceless.

I gave Errol one helluva surprise wedding gift.hihi  I wrote and recorded a 'love song' (haha) for him and asked our videographer to use the song for our onsite vid. I asked the help of the very talented singer-songwriter Ms. Trina Belamide to put the music into the poem that I made for Errol. Did the recording when we went home last Oct 07 and when Errol and his family went somewhere, I asked my Nanay & Tatay to drive me in QC clueless of where and what I am planning to do. I was happy I was able to accomplish that surprise without Errol getting a hint of a clue. Only May & Nanay knew about it ( I had to tell my mom coz she hide the cds for me! hehe).

When the vid was shown in the reception, Errol thought I only sang it. He thought Trina wrote it,hehe nagulat pa sya the following day when we are in the car when I told him I am the one who wrote the song haha! Gulat sya haha kakatawa. I think hndi lang si Errolski ang na surprise ko e kundi pati buong angkan nmin at angkan nila! bwahahahaha!

Last Mother's day (May 10) Errol & I pulled out a surprise for the 2 important ladies in our life. Our Nanays. It also happened to be that my parents are also celebrating their 26th year anniv last May 8 ( yup we have the same wedding date). So kumbaga double purpose ung gift ko bwahehe. When we arrived, I was surprised to know that our 'prigider' was broken. Hndi na sinabi ni mother dahil nhihiya daw sya sa akin kc gagastos pa daw e madami daw gastos ng kasal.. And then Errol told me din that their washing machine daw is broken din and same story din as my nanay ayaw ipaalam. hehe

May 10, unfortunately was our flight to Bora so we could not spend the day with them so, we just both thought of buying their gifts in advance. and brought home the items (may 9) without their knowledge. I got teary eyed when I saw my nanay's reaction. kasi nman hello.. look o..

She told me kasi not to buy she made me promise. And I agreed. E matigas ulo ko e, and I know she needs it. Its the least I can do diba?

If you know my mom's she's so iyakin kasi kaya ganyan na lang ang reaction nya umiiyak habang tumatawa.haha Oh how I love her! my dear cousin Len took the photos.

Wala ako photo ng reaction ni MIL e.sayang.

 

Si tatay ko naka pose pa!

 

 

 

Recenlty, my dear flatmates also threw a surprise bridal shower for me (unfortunately hndi ko pa nauupload ung mga photos). I just love the feeling, kasi I really appreciate their effort to pull that through. And I felt I am loved.

Surprises are always lovely isn't it? Small or big, its the thought the counts. Right? Is a simple way of passing love to one another. Have a nice day everyone  : )

 


Blog EntryCath - Before & AfterJun 29, '08 5:47 AM
for everyone

why is it that most people I know who recently got married cuts their hair after the big day?!

Is it a trend or something? hehe don't be surprised but I did the same too! I don't know,maybe I just got tried of having my long locks for quite sometime now. I usually go home twice a year and does something with my hair (I don't like to cut my hair here kasi hndi ako tiwala sa mga gumugupit dito sa dubai hehe). But since the wedding is coming I had to keep my hands off them and try to keep it long for the wedding! Imagine I survived almost a year and a half not doing anything with my hair! So when we got back from Bora first thing I did was go to the parlor and have my hair cut SHORT. Not that barber's cut short namn, parang hndi ko carry un.. I think its the shortest I had my life. Imagine the surprise of the hairdresser when I told her I want to cut my hair above shoulder level. She had to ask me twice kasi malaki nga daw ang mawawala sa hair ko haha! I don't care! I just want to change my look that's why!!

Here's my before and after pic hehe.. nice nman di bah? sige na agree ka na...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everybody in our office are shocked on how different I looked after the hair was cut.hehe Is it that huge a change? : ) Anyhow, Errol thought it was lovely and even wanted me to have my hair colored, kaso I thought it would be harder to maintain while I'm in Dubai so I just settled with cellophane, which does not make any difference nman. what's important e I got to change nman my hair, next pakulot kaya ako!? wahehe


Blog EntryThe Island called 'Bora'Jun 26, '08 6:30 AM
for everyone

my friends and I have been planning (or let's say been drawing plans jejehehe) of going to the ever famous Boracay ever since the world begun.. anyhow, that plan was materialized when Errol and I went to the island for our hunimun.. : )

honestly, we didn't really bother to plan our honeymoon as we are thinking of just spending our remaining holidays with our family. Afterall it would only be the time we can spend as our next holiday would be next year na. The trip was actually up to the last moment booking. hehe our gratitude to Marra our dear friend who advised to enjoy the moment nalang haha ( Errol and I are thinking kasi na pagbalik na ng Dubai madali nman ulit lumabas ng bansa and try to go to Egypt or Turkey)

good thing we listened to their advice and off we went to Bora.

It was our first domestic flight together and both of us are a bit disappointed on the service of the carrier. (blame it on Emirates air, were used to being served while on flight haha) gosh naisip ko buti pa ang Kish Air kahit nuts nagseserve nyahaha. Flight wa smooth medyo suplada lang ung cabin crew nyahaha at sad kasi hndi kami nanalo sa boring game nila hehe ( sayang iuuwi sana namin kay Angel Kulit)

 

We booked a package at Le Soliel de Boracay. The room nice is naman in fairness. Just enough space for the two of us plus we have a view of the pool from our balcony. Small nga lang ang bathroom : )

 

 

We came late afternoon na and as the usual weather it was cloudy and drizzling when we arrived. Pero syempre papaawat ba kami sa paglabas? haha

Our first stop? henna hihi its my first time too! I know I'm based in Dubai I should have experienced having henna tatoo as most local women here and malls here offer them. I just felt lang na nice magpahenna that time kasi your in the beach.. to my horror that stupid henna thing irritated my skin and left marks on my back! grrrr... I don't know if it is just my skin or the henna itself that they use on Bora. My friends are saying these people might have added something on the henna (u know typical pinoy, para makatipid) May & Ilyn said nman na its not so ugly nman pero you'll still see a light butterly mark on my back. : (

We stayed in the island for 4 days/3 nights. Try to ask Errol if he liked the Island and he'll answer you a very tipid ..' okay lang' hehe. Hndi daw nya naenjoy ng husto kasi 1. umuulan pag hapon sometimes pati sa gabi 2. we both are not the gimick' type haha o sige ask nyo e baket kami nagpunta ng Bora?! well actually Palawan is actually our first choice and then Bohol kaso ung amo ko pareho dun nagpunta after our wedding so syempre hndi kami pwede dun diba? yoko silang makasalubong sa El Nido imagine  that! hehe

The island was indeed lovely, very nice beach! I think that's what we enjoyed .. the beach and eating ; ) Love jonah's shakes yum yum! everyday ata nadun kami pag hapon then we'll be walking lang along the beach.. hhww.. bwahehe

Our second day at Bora was a Sunday, so we were able to go to their ever famous chapel and heard mass. It also happened to be that it is their parish feast the next day so the mass we attended to is a special one. Look nman my photo o para lang akong nawawala dala dala ang aking mahiwagang bayong hehe ( I forgot to bring my beach bag so buy nalang me ng bora bayong which also served as my pasalubong to my mom! kuripot! haha)

Our second night, we saw very nice sand castles.. pero hndi kami ngpapicture (corny daw sabi ni errol hehe) and we were also able to watch this bading do the firedance. Ang galing niya, amazed ako hihi. pero this time nagpaphoto ako hehe

Ended the day with a sumptous meal in a resto near d'mall (forgot its name) hehe O, did I mentioned na ba that we saw Andrea del Rosario in the island with a foreigner friend? (chikaminute) hehe

 

We spent out third day in the beach! As in all day ha. Errol finally listened to me and give in to my pangungulit to go island hoping haha (kj noh?) I enjoyed snorkeling.. Sya medyo lang daw. I also wanted for us to go parasailing kaso may kj akong kasama so wala choice. We went to Cystal Cove. nice place with a magnificent view. Then to puka beach to buy some pasalubongs.  Its was tiring but worth it nman.

We got to see the whole island

 

After the island thingie, we just laze off in the beach and literally burn ourselves under the sun.(haha!) While sipping a fantastic fruitshake from jonah's, enjoying our time together we both thought how great would it be if our life would just be like that forever. You don't have to think about anything and just enjoy your time spending with the lovieduddles. Imagine, sarap siguro nun! hay.. if we can only live like that no? ang sarap sarap sarap!  

We left the island the next day, and promised we'll be back but this time with the whole family na! together with the pasaway pinsans..hehe

The trip was a blast and both of us agreed that having the unplanned trip was great anyway. we got to really enjoy and not think of anything! But we also agreed that we will still going to push that trip when? I don't know! haha hihinga muna daw kami sa lahat ng gastos bwahehe.. (ang gastos kaya magpaksal!?)

I'm going to end this entry with our photos.. judge nyo nalang sino ang mas magaling mag emote! nyahahaha. kawawa siguro magiging babies namin.. mga emotera ang magulang! bwahehe

Our reception was held at Northfields Clubhouse. It was a quick but very lovely : ) Having everyone dear to us in one place means so much! It drizzled a bit in the middle of the program (blessing daw sabi nila) God is really good kasi afetr 10minuts nawala na ung ulan! hehe I felt really blessed when that happened kasi He still allowed us to finish the program and He proved to us that all our guests love us kasi they stayed. : ) It rained cats & dogs after the wedding! o diba blessing talaga. I hope our guests enjoyed the night as much as we did. And syempre ang ganda lahat ng avps from 3logy and M+K! Panalo! I so loved the time wherein Errol and I danced our ' first dance' : D our photogs captured a very nice photo of us dancing. Truly memorable. Truly magical.

Before I went out of the car, I was really feeling very nervous, excited.. mixed feelings. I'm so giddy to go out, shy at the same time coz everyone is looking at me..hehe (you know im a shy type hehe) good thing jesy and steve are there. They stayed in the car until the 'time' I felt relaxed having someone near me. Jesy's beau even talked to me on the phone and gave me sone advice (he's so sweet). And when the 'time' came ayan na nman si heart tulin ng tibok wahehehe. I walked na 'the walk' that I have been waiting for my whole life, knowing that Errol is on the other end of that aisle made it more memorable to me.hihi I tried not to really cry kasi I know my mom will cry for sure and if we'll both cry baka pumangit na kami pareho sa photos. Errol cried. Though I was not able to see it near, photos are the proofs he did cry. : ) When we are both standing na in front of the altar, I looked at him, he smiled back and I know it is indeed 'the time with the right man'.. hay... : )

We had our preps at the BarCie International Hotel in Malolos. Our preps was very light and candid. It helped that my best pals are with me. May stayed at the hotel with me a day prior the wedding and dearest Bea booked a room in the hotel so its like kwentuhan until late night! Hndi ako makatulog agad kaya usap kami ng usap ni May, until we realized its almost past 12 na! hehe May had to stop me from talking para lang makatulog na kami hehe. The first to came in our room are Jesy and Steve (w/Maan) of the Maker up Studio. Ang saya nmin ang kulet hehe. Next to come are the Team Fotogra togetehr with Threelogy team hehe.That's the time na kinabahan na ako kasi parang eto na na sila e ibig sabhin ikakasal na talaga ako wahehehehe! Good thing na din aboout them is they will not ask to you pose they will take your photos ng hndi mo malalaman hehehe.. Happy preps I can say! Medyo kinabahan lang ako when Steve is putting na my veil. I felt so surreal kasi.. then on one corner I saw my mom crying hehe.. She tried to hide na umiiyak sya hehe pero nahuli pa din nila M+K ang kanyang crying moment. I'm really happy because all the people that I love was gathered in one room. Un nga lang nung pababa n ng hotel going to the car.. feeling ko .. hehe totoo na to wala ng atrasan! bwahahaha

Our wedding will not be a success if  without the help of these people. ( naks parang speech ah)

Thanks a lot guys. We will be forever greatful for all your help. : )

1.  Coordinator :  House Of Brides c/o Mona Bumanlag & Marra Puno ( Malolos based)  email:monapbum@yahoo.com 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I knew I need to get a coordinator for our wedding since both of us are in Dubai. I don't want to bother my mom that much about the weddings preps. Ayoko na silang ma stress. So I searched for Malolos based coordinators and I'm glad there are 2 events coordinator in our town! hehe akalain mo meron pala!? hehe Marra is a batchmate in highschool. Funny how we learned that we knew each other kasi ang ka-email ko nun is si Ate Mona, ng ask lang sya if I know her sister. Apparently nabanggit nya kay Marra ung name ko and then dun lang nmin nalaman na we knew each other nga. They are very easy to talk to and since I know Marra I booked them instantly. Madami ako nakita na Manila based coordinators but I tought it would be easier ( and cheaper!) if I'll book one in Malolos and since the venue is in Malolos na din namn. diba? Highly recommended nmin sila as in. mabait and makulet din like me. Though minsan late sumagot sa emails kasi super busy din kasi nila (mayaman na nga ung mga yan eh) they offer full packages ha, so one stop shop kumbaga pero since maarte ako madami ako binago. sbi nila upgraded ekek daw ung sa akin whahaha. They helped me all the way and all my requests were granted nman. I love these guys specially Marra who really is the one who helped me all the way. And take note pinag work ko sya on her birthday.(bday nya nung wedding namin)  : )  Thanks so much Ate Mona and specially kay Madam Marra for everyhting! mwahmwahmwah

2. Bride and Mother's Gowns and Barongs: Ka Jun Calalang

Ka Jun has been a family friend eversince. As in whenever we have an occasions that needs a gown he's always the first choice. I liked how my gown looked like. Simple lang, parang ako (bwahaha) Only concern is he's medyo matanda na (hellow..hndi pa ata ako pinapanganak mananahi na sya?!) so meaning hndi n sya masyadong up to date sa fashion chuvaness. Pero nice pa din syang gumawa specially sa mga beadings perfect as in! nice ung ginawa nyang design sa train ko (kaso mahaba sya than I expected hehe) Not very impressed with the flower he placed to cover the connection ng train sa dress. But over all nice nman and feedback sa gown ko. Simple lang sya pero my dating..(parang ako! bwahahaha wala ng kokontra!) And last but not the least we got a good deal with him (kasi nga family friend) I also had him made the gowns for our mothers and barongs for fathers. He also did Errol's barong in Pinya fabric, its very nice.

He also did nga pala ung mga pillows and instant bolero for my gown as in one day notice lang un ha..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Photographers : Mimi + Karl (Fotogra) www.mimiandkarl.com

In planning our wedding Errol and I both sat and discussed what are the items that we would like to prioritize, surprisingly photos and videos came on the top list! : ) I could have splurged on my wedding dress but we thought I could only wear it once right. So sa photos and video talaga kami nagsplurge hehe.afterall the photos will be our instant reminder of how our wedding was like.and it will be my proof to my future anaks and apos that their mom/lola was very pretty on her wedding day.. (nyahahaha pretty daw!)

And were happy we did the right thing by having M+K as our photogs grabe ang galing talaga nila hehe. Any couple who booked them could attest to that. Parang ang hirap mamili ng mga photos for the album : )

this is the only photo I have with mimi and karl.. pag nagkita kami ulit papa authograph ko nga bwahahaha : ) hello im a regular sa knilang site so Im really happy na nkita ko sila in flesh and they took photos of us pa! : ) Feeling ko nga na star-struck ako wahehehehe

 

4. Videographers : Threelogy www.threelogy.com

What can I say to these guys?!

Isang bongang bongang WOW! hehe They are great. Very easy to deal and talk to.Email lang kami communicate and they were so nice all my requests are granted. : ) I am a regular on their blog as in evryday i check their site for any updates. Glad we got them for our day! Galeng galeng. The onsite was very very lovely. FYI the song we used for our onsite was my surprise gift for my hubby : ) sa mga hndi nakakalam I am a frustrated singer po wahehe. More on the song on my later post.

I can't remember how many times ko ng pinapanood ung onsite : )

You can watch the video here: www.vidsbythreelogy.com

Let me know what you think : )

5. Cake : Judy Uson

wawaweee! I can't find the right words to describe our wedding cake! Just have a look at it and judge yourself ; )

Not only it looked really fantastic, it does tastes great as well! Though we were not able to serve it to our guests on the wedding because of the drizzle at the recepiton : (

Ms Judy is such a star. I did not had any issued with her, very helful and accomodating when we visited her in her house to discuss the design. FYI Errol helped in the design of the cake. I am really surprised when he gave so many feedbacks to Ms.Judy during our meeting.

 

To bad we were not able to take our photos with Ms. Judy ( We'll I think that is what I forgot... to take photos with all our Suppliers! hay sayang)

 

 

 

6. Caterer : Dorz Caterer contact details c/o Ate Mona

Very well recomended by Ate Mona and nila Nanay. : ) Since Errol and I were both in Dubai we gave the task in choosing the Caterer to my Mom and Errol's aunt ( Ninang Volet). So basically I do not have anything to do on the food selection haha. Sila na din ang nagfood taste on our behalf hehe. But no regrets nman because they did a very good job. The catering is well organized, nice set up (since they are the one who designed the table for guests) and the waiters are very attentive and helpful. Plus, Ka Dorz was even so very nice to updgrade all the chairs to be Tiffany chairs! So nice of her talaga. Guests liked the food so two thumbs up! And ung mga leftovers were packed and was given to my mom o diba thats very nice : ) They even prepared a packed food for me and Errol for us to bring sa hotel. Helow.. soup lng kasi ung nakain nmin sa reception.

7.Flowers / Venue Set up : c/o House of Brides

They actually impressed me as the exceeded my expectation on how the venue set up would look like. Hats off to their inhaouse florist  FJ. ang ganda nung backdrop namin ni Errol.hehe Medyo hesistant pa ako nung una kasi parang mahirap nman talaga ma gets ung gusto kong design pero he perfectly designed the backdrop. And the pricipal sponsor's table? the best. : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

He also did my bouquet and mg ento's flowers and the kids flower bears : ). Everyhting is perfect except that I am not totally in awe with my flowers hehe. I am expecting kasi of pure tulips bouquet. i thought I have cleared about that to them (ang arte! hehe) pero nice pa din nman ung bouquet ko! Sypemre akin un eh wahehehe

 

8.Music

Church : Grand Choir

We had the Grand Choir for our church ceremony.Very nice and powerful ang voice nila. Good advise from Ate Mona that we ge them.However, not very like that they did not sang the songs we chose. Naisip nmin ni Errol, bket pa nila kami pinapili ng songs then they will not sing them naman? kaloka noh? anyway they are nice nman our priest, Fr. Pros liked they we chose to have a choir for the ceremony. : )

Reception : Pink Gravity contact c/o House of Brides

FYI I am not incharged of the music for the reception. It's Errol task to choose the songs, so I cannot really tell if she follwed what he liked hehe. Pero okay nman sila ganda ng voice nung lead singer. Sayang lang kasi hndi nmin nasulit ung bayad nila wahehehe kasi nga sandali lang ung program and party hehe: )

9. Ento Gowns c/o House of Bride

I had the ento gowns and barong arranged via Ate Mona's inhouse mananahi. Im happy that they follwed what I really liked. Im so impressed with the flower girl's dresses.ang ganda.: ) just like what I wanted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Make Up & Hair : Jessy & Steve (make up studio)

I love Mama Jesy and Steve. They are simple the best bow! Our preps was so light and candid.Makulit sila and game kahit magugulo ung mga frends ko hehe.

Thanks so much Jesy and Steve for making me very pretty on our wedding day! I felt very pampered on that day by having you guys by my side. I was so nervous na when I was in the car waiting for my turn to enter the church but these two where inside the car making chika to me hehe.Khit papano medyo na ease ung kaba ko.

Love these guys.. sabi ko nga sa 25th year anniversary ulit eh! : )

 

ang cute nila noh? ganda ng teamwork ng dalawang yan!

highly recomended : )

 

 

 

 

To be continued ulit .. : )
