YOU ARE NOT SUPERWOMAN.
My body tells me.
Just two weeks after Nana Au left, and knee deep in wedding preparations, I am coming down with something. Influenza, I think. So as early as yesterday, I was downing 2 tables of 1000mg Vitamin C and drinking kalamansi as water. Decolgen has improved my stuffy, runny nose, but my head still hurts like hell. I’m not pointing the cause to my workload (as complaining I can be most of the times), I’m pointing a finger to the nasty weather. Leche. Aaraw. Uulan. Bwiset. (Update as of 2AM Sunday, I called in sick na. I can’t breathe, I sound very nasal, and I have such a running nose, worse, my rhinitis kicked in pa!)Yesterday, when I bought fabric for my gown in Quad, I had to hail a cab going to Pasig, because (1) it was raining, (2) I knew my body is telling me something, and (3) I was rushing to go home since my sisters have been considerate enough to babysit Matthew for a time I’m not home - not all the time though. So I hail a cab, a nice man-driver, actually, and told me “Ma’am, bawal po dito.” I told him I was really running an emergency and he let me in. We got flagged for a “NO LOADING VIOLATION” which in other cities, would just cost 150pesos, but in the business central of the PI, 750 daw. Hiyang hiya ako kay Manong. I gave him 500, as I would not have money left to go home (Since I got robbed twice in a span of 3 months - my whole bag, mind you ha, I do not carry cash nor a wallet nor my credit cards.)

Arriving in Pasig and talking to Tita Lulu about how the fabrics would go together (layered kasi gown), got me excited and determined to lose weight (FYI, six days in the diet zone, I lost 4 lbs already, sana makuha ng 10 in time for the pre-nups with Mimi this 24th.). I requested to have my corset made last, as I would like to have it low in the back with very sided spaghetti straps, depending on how much weight I (will) lose. Right now, it’s a simple corset with whatchamacallit sleeves - di ko alam eh. She scheduled to have my first fitting 2nd week of May. Im quite confident with her because my uber perfectionist cousin got her for her gown and whole entou for her wedding in the US this October. My sister is actually one of the bridesmaids and she has had a total of 4 fittings, and was complaining, they spent 15 mins poking at her non-existent chest to adjust the corset, and doesnt want to cut the hemline of her skirt without her high heels. Sana ganun din sa akin.

I went to Megamall and Rob Galleria to look for vellum papers in pink and brown to find out most recommended scrapbooking stores just have white. Yun pala, Abbie got hers at National Bookstore. Susmio, pinagod ko pa sarili ko eh!

But I do not want to complain as I HAVE THE INVITES ALREADY! Mock up pa ang lang naman, but I’m very satisfied with the outcome. Phoebe was able to capture my ideas from this site and executed my idea with everything else. Just have to minor revisions courtesy of Edil. Change fonts and have it laminated (scratchproof) which would cost an additional 15p. It would amount to 1200p total for the 80 we are ordering.

Earlier, while trying to modify my ideas and thinking of ways to cut back on costs and still get the lamination part-wish of Edil, I thought of foregoing the sticker labels and just stick cards which would cost around 7 bucks from them. The sticker label is 10 bucks din. So a savings of 3×80=240p, not bad, pero I still need to know where I can cut back on the 1000 bucks. Sayang din yun, kasi Im planning to get my thank you cards, sticker labels for favors and missallette covers from them (kung 20p per 8.5×5.5 = 20 x 10 missallettes = 200p lang! Wala pa akong sakit ng ulo!). Hay budget budget budget….

I love love love the stickers she made for me though c”,) Eto talaga yung gusto kong concept eh - stripes, dots and plaids. Medyo di kasi bagay sa paper ang plaids so I’ll be looking for plaid ribbons na lang, so far, I’ve only seen pink and white ones :c Ang hirap maghanap ng combination ko!

But I was happy that pink and brown are finding its way to clothes and bags, we were looking for possible outfits for our prenups (naks natatawa na sa akin si Mimi nyan!) and there were baby pink and chocolate brown bags at Esprit! Hay..naalala ko tuloy yung Esprit canvass bag na wala pang isang buwan sa akin nung hinold-up akoo, kainis! Anyhow, I was telling Edil na sila na lang ang bumili ng damit nila ni Matthew at mag-adjust sila sa meron akong damit kasi pag ako bumili, dahil sa laki ko, I can only buy clothes at branded stores (as Ive always had, kaya ang damit ko at sapatos, panay thank you sa padala from the States o kaya hand me downs ng cousins ko c”,). I was trying to convince Edil to have this pale pink shirt with brown spiral retro details at the bottom I saw in Dockers, kaso ayaw :c Nakakainis e nung rumarampa-rampa sya, kung ano ano sinusuot nya :c Di bale, may araw pa naman para i-convince sya. So paano, Mimi? Five outfit changes ha? Sabi mo eh! HAHAHAHAHA!

*END POST na nga. Notice the time? Di talaga ako makahinga eh…Makakulit nga ng iba online at mang-stalk…
