~BriDaL CaR~
This is one of my surprises to Ian for our wedding :) We initially wanted to have a vintage car as our bridal car but because of the change of budget in venue, we decided to just use the bridal car that will be provided by our caterer. but now, I changed my mind and thought of surprising him so I contacted our wedding planner and asked them to find our dream bridal car. Luckily, the 1930 Cadillac is still available on our wedding date. yipee! :) sharing the photo below :)
~Pre Nup LeG 4~ :)
Yey! After ten years (again!) haha! we had the 4th leg of our prenup courtesy of course of my future bro-in-law, kuya Oliver. :) happy viewing :)

Teaser! Teaser! :) STORY: I asked ian a favor to take photos of our ring bearer bowl so I could replace the ones that I put in my previous blog with better quality pictures. But instead of doing a simple snapshot of it, he asked me to get our wedding rings and my engagement ring and this is what he came up with. :)
such a beauty, isn't it? :)

~Glitches - Happiness~
Last month we flew to Manila again to attend our friend’s daughter’s birthday party. Since the date falls on the third Saturday of the month, we decided to schedule our pre cana seminar on the same week Sunday which is our church’s regular monthly schedule of seminar. By the way, it’s just a weekend trip so we want to make sure that we maximize our time while we’re there. So here’s what I planned for.
November 26 – ETD Singapore 2055H
November 27 – ETA Manila 0020H
3:00am – sleep
8:00am – breakfast, fix things for appointments
10:00am – Don Bosco , collect revised Marriage Banns
11:00am – Megamall, exchange money, lunch
2:30pm – Trial Make-up (Parc Royale Ortigas)
3:30pm – Andi’s Birthday Party
8:00pm – Dinner with Ian’s mom
STORY:
Few days before we fly back, I received an e-mail from our wedding coordinator that our pre cana seminar was cancelled because the speaker won’t be available on that day and it was moved to the following week, December 5. Upon reading the e-mail, I called our church to ask for some possible arrangements that they can do for us because we might be coming to Manila only 2 weeks before the wedding. Result? Failed! Their line is always busy and I just couldn’t make bantay when it will be available because I’m also very busy at work. I decided to just call them when I reach Manila. We were already on our way to Don Bosco when I called them about the pre cana thing and to ask if our marriage banns are ready for collection. I was advised to come around 3pm because the marriage banns haven’t been signed yet. And about the seminar, Ms. Ging, asked me to call someone by the name of Bro. Bert ( I think he’s the speaker for that seminar) to confirm with him their arrangement, that he will do the seminar for us on the same day since we are based abroad, and we already booked our ticket. But some things just don’t happen as planned so the ending? it didn’t push through. BUT!! Bro, Bert is so nice that he made a special booking for us. :) We don’t need to look after sale airfare tickets on third Sunday of every month before March to attend their regular schedule, he arranged us for March 6, 2011. That is one week before our big day. That saved us from extra expenses again. Wohoo! Anyways, going back to marriage banns, since it’s not yet ready, we decided to exchange our money first then go to my trial make up. We’re kinda hungry so we decided to have Jollibee drive-thru on our way to ortigas. Then, change plan again. It was so traffic so I told Ian that we head to my trial make up first because I don’t want to be late and thought that while I’m doing my trial make up, he can go to megamall first to exchange our money since it’s just nearby parc royale. When we reached the MUA’s studio, she was not there. Oh my! I’m kinda feeling something again. :) Her secretary asked for my number and she said that Cherry (MUA) will call me. Few minutes after, she called. She said she was stucked in the wedding at Manila Pen because the bride requested for few more heads to be made up. She explained that she actually asked for my number from our coordinator so she can call me in advance but I guess everyone was just too busy. She kept on apologizing and asked me if I can wait for her for about 4o minutes. She’s heading back to the studio but thinking about the traffic jam is really terrible. I told her that I can’t wait any longer because I have another appointment to attend to. While talking to her, I wasn’t feeling so bad at all. I actually like her. I even want to book her right away even if she hasn’t done my trial. But I also told myself, I’ll decide until the next day. So, we tentatively arranged trial session the next day. It’s almost 3pm so we decided to just exchange our money at Glorietta, head to Don Bosco and then to the party. When we reached the church, the marriage banns are not ready yet and it’s 4:20pm already. One of the copies has no signature and we are late for the party. :) (The party is something special for us so we just can’t afford to be late) We were asked to wait for a while but around 5:00, I approached Ms. Ging and asked if we can just collect it the next day. Still lucky, she’s nice enough to say that she’ll just leave the banns to the guard on duty since they don’t hold office on Sundays. She assured me that but deep inside I’m still praying that she won’t forget it because I saw how busy she was while me and ian were sitting in front of her desk waiting for our signed marriage banns. So we’re done at the Church. We ran upon getting out of the office because we’re really late for the party. On our way, since I didn’t put any make up on (I prepared myself for the trial session) I did my own make up and fixed myself. Another traffic jam. Whew! Anyways, while stucked inside the car, I texted cherry that I’ll book her already as my official HMUA and we’ll just do the trial session next time. :) I thought of just spending my Sunday with my family and also for me and Ian to have longer rest since we really had a loooooooooooooooooooooong day! After the party we’re supposed to have dinner with his mom but it was another cancelled appointment because his mom is not feeling well. Since it’s in the same area as where the party was held, we paid her a visit and stayed for a while. We also got from her Ian’s baptismal certificate, baby photos, and we filled up our marriage license. :) it wasn’t the best day but we’re still happy that at least we’ve accomplished something.
If our November 27 is a sablay day, our November 28 is a happy day! :) Here’s what we’ve planned and the results.
10:00 – San Miguel Church, get revised confirmation certificate – check!
11:00 – Don Bosco, collect marriage banns – check!
12:00 – Lunch with family at Glorietta – check!
- Buy what’s in our checklist – check!
2:00pm – Starbuck Take Out from Trinoma – bonus! Check!
3:00pm – meryenda at home – check!
4:00 – nap/rest –check!
5:45 – Hear mass – check!
8:00 – Dinner - check!
11:00 - sleep
November 29 - ETD Manila 1640H ETA Singapore 2005H
Ian is so paranoid with the traffic jam so he really made sure we'll leave the house early. but we're at the airport too early that the check in counters aren't open yet. and for the record, we were there 3 1/2 hours before our schedule flight. talk about punctuality. hehe! well at least we're not late, we got the front seat of the plane (01A and 01B), near the lavatory, our flight was 15mins earlier the ETA, we're the first ones to alight the plane, no cue at the immigration, and no waiting at the baggage belts. weeee!!! :)
After all the glitches of my November 27, Happiness is my November 28 and 29. :) By the way, my mom also got my baptismal and confirmation certificate already. :) Tick! Tick! Tick! Few more checks on my checklist! :)

~DIY No. 2 WiLL YoU Be?~
I'm in my DIY mode again and i just finished doing our wyb e-cards for our entourage :) I got the link from W@W forum and i'm super happy that it turned out good and my female ento liked it. at first i was thinking of doing it in a real card form but when i read about it in W@W, i thought it would be more practical and eco friendly. :) so here are few of them. :)
For the guys, Ian preferred the texts to be in tagalog because he finds english texts cheesy. haha! so here's his version.
happiness again! :) weeee! :)

~LeSS ThAn 4 MonThs To Go!~
Geez! I can feel the excitement and i'm kinda nervous already. :) but i love this feeling!! :) yup! it's less than 4 months and it's my turn to walk down the aisle. :) here are some of the updates of our wedding preparations.
So far our preps are doing okay and i'm excited to see the final sketch of my gown :)
We have decided to get Ms. Mila De Leon as my designer and she'll do the gowns of my entourage too! :) i put my trust on her so I hope she won't fail me. :)
Kutchie, our coordinator keeps on impressing me/us. I was a bit worried with some small details of our wedding like the headcount of suppliers meal, misalette, place cards etc. so i told her that i want to talk about it on our next meeting. And during our meeting with her last month, I felt so relieved when she told me that she and her team will take good care of it. she even volunteered to help us in doing the packing of our wedding favors and she also talks about the littlest things which i really appreciate as an OC Bride. :-p I remember her telling me to ask one of my bridesmaids or whoever to carry a sanitizer and stand near me after the releasing of the doves because sometimes as they say, sh*t happens. haha! i'm loving her more and more and hopefully on the day of our wedding, will be her best of the best :)

~Pre Nup LeG 3~ :)
after 3 months, we get to shooting again with kuya oliver, this time with abcd and pola too and unfortunately it rained. BUT that didn't stop us from posing. haha! it's just too bad we didn't have enough shots at the skate boarding rink and graffiti walls. not sad at all because i love kuya oliver's creativity that he managed to get nice shots using the available resources like the light pole near the bus stop where we were by standing while waiting for the rain to stop, the colorful lights from 313 somerset mall, and the bus stop lights which he made into heart bokehs. :) our time was not wasted after all. :) here are the proofs :)

~AuGusT AccompLisHmEnTS~
I just realized, I forgot to mention in my last post some of the most important things we've accomplished during our 2 week stay in the Philippines. The wedding bands, canonical interview and the marriage banns. how could i just forget these things? tsk! tsk! anyways, yes! we already got our wedding bands :) an early wedding gift from my future mom-in-law :) weeeee!! happiness! :) well, ian doesn't want to have diamond stones in his ring so he opted for the plain two toned style while mine is just the same but adorned with six hearts and arrows diamonds :) simple yet classy, just the way we wanted :) i don't have a nice picture yet so i'll just upload it later on. :) We also went to Don Bosco church to get a schedule for canonical interview and lucky us, we got a slot day before our flight back to SG. after the interview, the church coordinator already gave us our wedding banns and the schedule for marriage counselling and marriage preparation seminar. :) so far we've accomplished quite a lot already :) whoa! i see a lot of ticks on our checklist :) there should be more on my next post :)

~PrEpS UpDatE~
whew! finally!after almost two months, im back again. :) well, my super duper busy schedule won't allow me to be a regular blogger on my own blogsite. haha! anyways, here are what we've accomplished during our 2 week stay in the philippines.
August 13
It was my birthday but I had to skip the celebration since we didn't have enough time for the meet ups with our suppliers. but thanks to our wedding planner kutchie for giving me a mini cake. sweet! anyways, going back to the preps, we met with the following suppliers.
Me-anne of Sensitivity for the lights and sounds - we're currently reviewing their quotation and if everything is okay, we're ready to send the downpayment. :)
Vangie of Printsonalities for invitations - for downpayment :)
Tes Alparas of Notes and Flowers for entourage bouquets and reception flowers - for review, waiting for the breakdown of prices :)
We also did an ocular to The Loft @ Manansala and Blue Leaf.
North Forbes Pavillion is already scraped off from our supplier's list due to some reasons and at the end of the day we decided to have blue leaf as our reception venue. see below for the pics. :)
August 18
1. Food Tasting and detailing with Josiah's
2. Went to the shop of Merlene Marcelo and Mila de Leon
No doubt, Josiah's food are really good and Happy, our AE always tries her best to accomodate all our requests and answer all our questions. :)I hope their service will be at it's best until our wedding day :) we're now waiting for the final draft contract and reception venue layout and we can move forward already with other suppliers. :)by the way, we have sent our cake design to them already :)
Merlene Marcelo was not there when we visited her shop but her accountant was there to accomodate us and she even asked me to try some of their gowns. I fell inlove right away with this one gown that I fitted. It's made of pina fabric with a very nice beading and embroidery design, long beaded train, and fully beaded callado bolero. I gave them my details and measurement in case we decided to get them to do our gowns. :)
Mila De Leon is one bubbbly woman whom you'd love to talk to. :) luckily she was not busy when we visited her so we're able to discuss quite many things about choosing the right gown for me and getting the color swatches of our motif :) she's the designer who proposed that serpentina cut gown would look fab on me. she did two sketches. the one that she proposed and another based on my gown inspiration. :)
August 23
We went to Rosalyn Lagdameo and she's also nice and accomodating :) i just instantly liked her and I'm sure mom and future mom in law will like her too. :) she has sent her quotation already and just waiting for the breakdown of prices. perhaps you'll know on my next blog who i chose to do our gowns. :)yet to decide. women! :-p
We also met with Junby. Kutchie recommended him to be our emcee and we like him :) we're gonna send the downpayment together with the rest of our confirmed quotations.
We have also received quotation for the projector already and we need to add to our budget the cost of breaker for blue leaf.
less than 6 months to go before our big day so perhaps I have to start with our DIYs already.

Hi folks! after almost two months, i finally got the chance again to write on our blog. i stopped on wedding preps for few weeks because of my very busy schedule (photo shoots, mom's vacation here in SG, meeting up with old friends etc.) so now im back! :-p anyways, i received an e-mail reminder from The Knot yesterday, and it's 8 months to go before our wedding day. whew! time flies really fast and i think it's time to do some DIY things already. *wink* So far here are what we've accomplished..
Wedding Planner - check!
Church - check!
Caterer - check!
Photographer - check!
Videographer - check
Band-check!
Reception - To be confirmed hopefully this week :)

Next Month will be another busy month and hopefully we'll be able to accomplish more since we'll be in the Philippines to meet up with our planner and suppliers. :) That's gonna be 2 weeks away from work. thanks to my boss :) i'll surely have something for her when i get back from the Philippines. :) Oh well, i'm pretty excited about it! :) because aside from the wedding planning, me and ian also planned for some time to chill out with family and friends. :) more stories on my next blog. check back soon. :)
