I called up the office of Sacred Heart Parish to inquire if they were able to receive my letter via LBC. That letter was for REV.FR. BENJAMIN Y. SIM, S.J., whom we have asked to officiate our wedding. Incidentally, he is the parish priest of Sacred Heart & a very good friend of Dad Alex's younger sister.
When we were in Cebu last month, we asked for an appointment with him so we can meet him personally. Too bad he was not in town as he attended a pilgrimage then. What we did nalang was to ask the personnel there if she can ask Fr. Ben if he is willing to grant our request.
When I called up today, Daphne (who's also the head of the choir group we have chosen)gladly informed me that Fr. Ben had put an OK note on the letter I have sent.
So there goes, we can now be wed, have a priest na to officiate!!!

I'm back from Cebu
I'm back after a 4-day stay in Cebu. Aside from attending my niece's baptism, we also did some wedding preps while we were there. Hayy, it's so tiring! But fulfilling also after accomplishing a lot of things. At times, frustrating sad esp. when certain expectations are not met :-( But in general, we had pretty much accomplished what we had set out to do.
Among others, here's what we have done over our short stay in my fave city:
CAKE - 1st supplier we scheduled to meet. was able to finalize concept of my castle cake. Except for the gumpaste flower icings, we have agreed that they will be using plastic cymbidium flowers for the decors too. tas add na lang whatever flowers I will choose for the wedding ento. Paid downpayment na sad so that the purchase of the materials for the castle can be started na. As Xjay is my friends brother-in-law, I expect that I wont have a problem with this supplier.
COORDINATOR - since Yoyong is my cousin, he is actually not a paid OTD coord. But he pretty much helps me with most of the preps as he has lots of ideas (he does wedding coordination on the side coz he's a Waterfront employee) & connections too. With his help, we were finally able to book a suite room & a standard one for Marlon & me on our wedding day. The suite room is huge to accommodate relatives who would want to tag along with us.
HOTEL PREPS- booked a suite room @ Waterfront, after being toured by the receptionist. We have chosen a slightly pricey accommodation taking into account the number of suppliers who will be coming in plus our relatives pa.
RECEPTION- was able to finalize menu for the 9 course meal we are serving. Hayy, in this area, I left Marlon to choose na coz I actually feel that he is more OC in this area than I am. Maybe bec. in his side of the family, they are very particular about the food being served. As for me, since he is paying for this, he better enjoy the food too. hehe
FLORIST- I thought I'd be able to book the florist I had been eyeing this time kaso the price they have quoted for my set-up is way too high. Imagine being given a quote of 92K!!! I mean, hey this is way too much coz I saw a wedding in the same venue w/c occured last year na they styled also but they only quoted 30K. I was willing to go as far as 40K. But then again, if I can scrimp on flowers, I would. After all, what am I gonna do with all those plants after the 2-3 hr. program dba?
RING- this is one supplier we are happy to meet. When we visited Suarez Wedding Rings @ SM, we were told to see the owner the ff. day @ 7am @ her residence. So that we did... and we were happy with the result of our meeting. Actually we are having our ring redone na. Same design, we will be using the same stones too (as they are courtesy of Nana). We just want an improved finish on the ring. And seeing their finished product, we are confident that they will be able to deliver our specifications. The owner is actually a daughter of the famous class ring maker, SUAREZ RINGS. Icing on the cake is the fact that they can customize the engraving on our rings (yehey!). We want man gud our name, the word "forever" and our wed. date engraved on our respective rings. 2 of the suppliers we have prev. talked before told us this cant be done. Well, we are happy to have found a supplier who can do this. We will be getting our rings next month on Aug. 15. Am excited for this.
CHURCH- we were not able to meet Fr. Ben Sim. This is supposed to be the most impt. task we should have accomplished during this trip. Apparently, he was not able to receive the letter I've sent via LBC a few days befor we head to Cebu as he was away on a pilgrimage daw. Anyway, was able to get a list of the songs to be played during our wedding ceremony from Daphne, choir coordinator which we have booked as early as May pa.
PHOTOGRAPHY- now I'm getting confused as to who to hire to cover our wedding event. I was sure abt wanting a digital storybook format. Initially, I was ok with hiring Dennis Du, a fellow Easternian & recommended by a good friend of mine, Chay. Incidentally, Chay is also a photog himself but do not do the storybook lay-outing. Then I was introduced to Michael Manabat, another Easternian turned photog. who's work turned out to be my best choice so far. So, as of the moment, I am waiting for his quotation on the package that I want. Hope I can afford his rate **crossing my fingers here**
GOWN-funny bec. I asked my fellow w@wies to choose among the varied gown designs I have gathered before I talked to my couturier. Most commented that they like the sketch of my 1st gown choice. So I was set to fit the lining meant for that design. Good thing though that Yoyong told me he was not so keen on that design as it will somewhat hide daw my upper torso. And since I'm petite (only 5'2") it's best that I choose a clean & simple design. So, it's altogether a totaly new sketch for me, no resemblance to the orig. design I had, whatsoever. Hope you still find it pretty still. I'd say I like it the first time Jude sketched it. It's what they always say, my heart did skip a bit! I found MY gown!!! showing here the final sketch of what is to be my wedding gown. Marlon commented on girls being fickle-minded & all. I was oblivious to his comment as I was floating on air seeing Jude sketching THE gown, hehe ;-)
HAIR & MAKE-UP ARTIST- met w/ Ramil & did my trial make-up last Monday. So that it wont be wasted we had a portrait session also @ Fotofolio. Will post a few sample pix here. I kinda like my make-up though I intend to ask them to do a sleeker 'do for me on the day itself. I dont like a strand not in place. hehe, talk abt being OC.
Well, that's mostly what we have accomplished in Cebu, aside from bonding times w/ my family too as my parents were there also for the baptismal of my niece. ayy, before I forget, I bought a bell (2 bells actually) @ Oceanic which my Bell Girl will be using.
I'll be back on Aug. 6 to have my 1st fitting w/ Jude. Hopefully, I will get to accomplish a bit more also during that time.

wish list!
posting here a few of my wishes for my wedding... how do u like this lovely tiara?
another one is this bouquet, I want mine to be kinda like this, though I'd like to substitute mine w/ fuchsia pink tulips tas incorporate cymbidiums para terno w/ Marlon's boutonniere. hmm, the idea excites me na. will just talk it over with my florist (actually haven't hired one yet), prospective florist pa diay...
ring designs
Just last month I shared my wedding gown dilemma. Now, I'm back with a new one... ring designs. Which one do you prefer? The Novell design (1st pix) or the Cartier design (2nd one)? cast your vote...
This is the Novell design (ours was 2-toned)
now we're thinking of turning it into this? hmm, whadayathink???
Side kwento... we had the Novell design made as early as Jan. pa. We got the rings mid-Feb. but to our dismay, craftmanship sucks! And we thought we wont have a problem with this supplier as he is a close friend of Marlon's aunt & has a shop at SM, Cebu tas he's chinese pa. Turned out, we didnt get our money's worth. We were told pa na the reason why the ring turned out that way was bec. we only had a small budget. Hay, we didnt argue nalang. Our ring's diamonds were courtesy of Marlon's aunt so para di masayang we just looked for another supplier.
What do u think? Should we have the same design made? or do we shift to the new one we found. Can decide eh, both sets are lovely (ehem, syempre our choice...hehehe)

My First Bridal Expo Experience
Yesterday was the last of the 3-day bridal expo held @ SM. I was there every single day for the entire 3 days! hahaha, di sad ko excited noh? First day, I looked for TRISHA TAMPARONG, a known local photog here. Am interested in having our formal portrait done by her. We discussed a lil abt the locations, settings, her style, my preferences... the likes.
Said hello to TEDDY SALIDO of ADTRONIX (who's gonna be my videographer). Trisha was a bit surprised that I feel the need to import Teddy to Cebu, considering that I have a whole lot of names I can choose from there. Well, I believe it's best to work w/ people we are friends with. It will make us worry-free on our big day thus we have nothing to do but relish the moment. can't wait!!
Last booth I've visited was Jaja's of ISG PRINT TECHNOLOGY. She will definitely do my invites. A very down to earth lady, who's trully a pleasure to deal with. I got to meet her bf too, who fly in from Cebu to join her in the 3-day exhibit.
I got to meet HENRY PASCUAL too during the bridal consultation part. I asked him for some ideas I can use for my wedding theme. He provided some insights & inspirations. In the end, I asked Marlon to take a pix of us both as souvenir. Waaah, nagpaka-fan ko! hehehe...
It's a fun experience. My only regret is that I didn't ask to be photographed with the suppliers I'll be getting. Sayang! It would have been an additional picture in my scrapbook. Hay, sometimes there's a downside to a shy bf... Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fair. Til next time...

Our Love Story
Our love story started one beautiful Valentine evening in 1996. We are about to go out to attend a disco-party our school org. had organized. I was chairperson of the said social event at that time. He knows I was pre-occupied & that my schedule that week was kinda hectic. So earlier that day, we had lunch @ Majestic Resto. Lil did Marlon know that my Sis Grace & I had planned it all out. He's going to fetch us & we will go to the party together. But while I am all dressed up, Grace will take all the time in the world to prepare for the party, so we will have plenty of time to talk. When Marlon arrived, I made him sit @ the sala while we wait for Grace to finish getting ready. As part of my surpise for him, I handed him a card which says pretty much how I feel for him & how he has passed the test of time. When he finished reading it, he looked at me, and I finished off by telling him the ultimate message that was not contained in the card...that I do love him =)The perfect moment was sealed with the perfect first kiss.

Invitation straight from heaven
It's nice to be able to sit back in my purple chair & get to post wedding preps update here (such luxuries I was not able to enjoy lately, as work is tiring me sooo much). But anyway, last night I was able to insert in my hectic sked a meeting with a prospective supplier for my wedding invites. I dragged my future SIL, Ate Dul to accompany me as this is one aspect of my wedding which I am so clueless. So, I look for a girl named Jaja, who texted that she will be wearing an orange shirt & sitting in a booth at Dunkin Donuts-Divisoria. O dba, I only learn how to do this EB now on my 28th year of existence (hehehe) Anyway, I wasn't expecting much bec. I had my eye set on an invite I have seen last month in Cebu (at SM's Joyful Wedding shop) & though ISG Print Tech is a sister company of CDI Printing (the one who made Grace & Ate Dul's wedding invites), Jaja (the owner) informed me a few days ago that they wont be able to make a copy of the Cinderella-themed invite that I have my heart set on. But as always, I only learn the wisdom of trusting God & His directions after every supplier meeting that I go to, thinking that I might as well check them out even if first impression isn't that much. I guess the tip that I want to share is this, before I meet with any of the suppliers, I pray a sincere prayer to Papa God prior to closing my eyes the night before the meeting. I ask Him to bless my task at hand & to lead me to suppliers who will be able to execute what it is that my heart trully desires (kinda difficult bec. at times even I myself get confused with the numerous choices presented, u know what I mean). But (here's the catch) I also tell Him to guide me through the choosings & make me choose what He thinks is best for me. And in resignation I rest my case in His hands. Wonder of wonders, the next day's meeting would always turn out enjoyable, in addition to being perfect in terms of my wants. It's like He had been the invisible hand who guides me through each & every teeny bit of detail of the process. Isn't He a patient & loving father??? I mean, who would care less abt the tiny details of my wedding (unless he is a coordinator I have hired). But this I promise you, His ways are often more beautiful than what we can even conjure in our wildest dreams.
Now back to my invite. As I was saying, I already had my heart set on a certain design I have seen in Cebu. The only hindrance is the price as it was pegged at about P 73.00 for that sheet only. I was thinking of how I would be able to skirt around the budget issue so that I can get the invite of my dreams (or so I thought)... things like not including the entourage's name on the main invitation & instead have it printed nalang in the misalette & include it in the invite distribution. But then, we will have to have the misalette approved in advance. Hay, a million things to consider. But when we met w/ Jaja last night, we were able to choose a nice set of a 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 ecru invite w/ 2 entourage sheet, envelopes w/ lining & sticker seal na -- all for only P 85.00, customized pa my castle design which will be stamped in the invitation. Wooow!!! it's what I call a blessing only Papa God can send forth from heaven.
No need for 2nd thoughts, I'm all set for this design. Boy, am I so glad that I have learned to entrust Him to know the desires of my heart. Indeed, He is a faithful God.

Now have my bridal cord
Hi all! Am back from Cebu na last Monday but couldn't find the time to post here (or to check my emails for that matter) haaay, too tired from work when I reach home at 8pm. Anyway, just want to report that I was able to buy the "unity cord" that I have in mind. I was suppose to make it myself-- as DIY cord is popular in w@w (just refer to the thread abt this a few months back ;-) ) but when I saw one at St. Paul's in Ayala, I can't help but think it will be one itsy-teensy burden off my back, dba? And it feels good to be able to cross it off my list (which is still not posted til now, huhuhu)... I was also able to window shop at Oceanic (they now have a shop in Ayala) & saw bells which I can use for the bell girl part. But I didn't purchase it yet coz Auntie Heny (Marlon's tita in L.A. might be able to send us that together with the cinderella carriage which will serve as our ring holder). Well, it's still small stuffs I have tackled.
Was not able to accomplish much (wedding-related tasks) during my last trip as it was really intended to be bonding time w/ my family (my folks were also in town to visit their first apo). But it was a worthwhile trip once I get to carry the little bundle of joy in my arms.

A Brand-New AUNT
It ticked my fancy! I like the thought of being called "BU-I" or "KHUY BU", but I didn't know that I'd get sooo excited like this when my 1st niece would be born. My sister gave birth to a healthy 6.6 lbs. pretty baby girl. My cousin Chen later reported that the baby's chinky-eyed and reddish. Too early to tell whom she looks like but my aunt, Mama Grace (Chen's mom) said she's a mix between my sister Grace & her husband Nolvin's feature. Well, she couldn't be prettier then. hehe (love my own!) I was really worried abt my Siobe since she texted me Tuesday night that she was feeling contractions na though the pain is still bearable pa kuno. But I was relieved when I heard that she even went out pa to watch an alumni basketball game. I thought "Ah, maybe it's not time yet coz she can even go out pa." I heard from my brother in law Wed. morning that he brought her to Chong Hua na since she was worried that the baby isn't moving. But when they got there, haha the little one is just sleeping. Anyway, we had to wait for one whole day with no news as her cervix didn't budge more than the 3-4cm opening (as we have known since her check-up Tuesday afternoon). Anyway, she was induced for the 2nd time early this morning around 8am (the 1st one was last night but to no avail as her cervix stayed at 4cm opening when checked). But it happened too fast after that. One minute me & Nolvin were talking over the celfone & me calling my Dad to make some arrangements so Nolvin will be allowed access inside the labor room, but the next minute I received a text message from him saying that Grace had already given birth -- to the beautiful baby named GIANNE ANGELIQUE.
I couldn't place my emotions. I'm feeling soooo ECSTATIC!!! Am now a certified AUNT... I remember going to the cr & released my pent up emotions there. Cudn't help but shed a tear of joy & relief that it's finally over & that my sister is safe... Truth be told, I was really scared last night. I remember that my last thoughts before I slipped into a restless slumber was frantically asking Papa God to keep my Siobe safe & the baby too. Childbirth is really amazing. You could not begin to describe how it makes you feel. It made me realize that at times like this, there's no one to turn to but God. Faith would somehow pacify your heart. Resignation to the thought that there's someone up there who's ever powerful taking good care of your love ones so you really need not worry.
I'm off to Cebu tomorrow night w/ my brother Jayr of course to be able to hold to tiny blessing in my own arms. Was able to receive some pix & video via MMS from Chen earlier, and it made me even more eager to see my niece. Cudn't wait...
