I’m quite partial to carnations and roses talaga. There would be 3 hues of pink: cotton candy pink, baby pink and old rose/mauve. Maybe my florist would be able to incorporate hues of brown: brown tigs or brown cherries (meron kaya yun?)

Outside Wed Preps Fact No.1:
Having no Nana Au has been tough. It's not about taking care of Mato, since he is old enough to entertain himself and take care of himself to a certain degree. It is managing my time! I go to work at 5AM, work, plan wedding details in between, call suppliers, go home at 2PM or go work on a wedding-related chore after. If no one is to take care of Mato, I take him with me. Kawawa lang yung bata. I took him to Divisoria last Saturday! Divisoria talaga ha – as in Tabora St, Ylaya..not Tutuban. He was such a doll though. Buying bubbles at 30p/6pcs were enough for him. Of course, I still have to make allowance for 2 meals at McDo.

I don't have time for myself :c

Outside Wed Preps Fact No. 2:
I need quality time with Edil. Since we can't afford to file leaves at work since we need money for the wedding, even if I can file one, it is to take care of Matthew. Even if he is allowed to sleep at the the house already, we dont have time to really really talk, as he gets home at a time I'm supposed to be sleeping (I work at 5Am, he works at 12NN.)

I miss Edil even if I see him everyday. :c

Outside Wed Preps Fact No.3:
I just seriously worked on a diet yesterday. Ang kapal ko no? I have around 30lbs to lose and with 2 1/2 months to go, ngayon lang ako nag-diet! I don't know what's wrong with me! I want to look great come my wedding day, pero I just can't stop eating! I've made a resolution yesterday though – I'm going to regret not losing weight the rest of my life if I see my wedding pictures! Hehehe. Plus, our pre-nups is scheduled on April 24 already, 2 weeks from now! (Pwede pa kayang mag-lose miski 10lbs if I crash diet?!) Im excited na!! My wedding gown is in the works na, and though I decided on it on a whim, I pointed and had it made agad, I feel this is the one. It is a simple layered gown, no beadworks at all, pero lalagyan daw ni Lulu, my gownmaker, na onti. I'm not ready to post it yet, siguro pag carry ko na sya suotin. The top would be corset, detachable butterfly sleeves, depende kasi kung mangangayat pa ako eh The corset would be the last one to be made, since Lulu wants it to have it low in the back. Let us see. She it still giving me two weeks before I go into my first fitting.

Isa lang masasabi ko: Diet! (with an exclamation point!)

I just need to have it said.

Naiinis ako!! *#%$@^
Ganun pala yung feeling na pag ikaw ang nanglalandi at hindi reciprocated, para talagang napakapangit mo no?
Lalo na when you are uber the hill hot and all the can manage to do is give you a peck. Leche.
I dont know kung naghihiganti lang tong hayop na to dahil I was out of the heat for more than a month, or he was just out of it lang – as he said, super pagod.

Leche.
Naiimbiyerna ako!!

Let’s talk About Me for a Change c”,)

With Some Sorta Wedding Preps pa din, of course! (I told you, I don’t blog about my personal life here – just so you would know I’m not someone whose world revolves 90% on wedding preps — Im not 90% involved – just around 88%..hehehe!)

That’s what you get when you have no Yaya.
You have your son’s schedule in limbo, erratic eating patterns, vitamins not being taken in.
Informal baths – aka, playing in the batya na hindi nabibimpo ang libag
And your son having F U N.

I finally met the famous Alex Franco! We were scheduled to meet at Chowking at Pioneer St., his famous meeting place for clients. Comedy pa nga, kasi I was scheduled to have my measurements taken by my gown maker in Bgy. San Antonio, Pasig at 4PM. Since I dont know where Chowking is, we decided to hail a cab. Aba! Sa kabilang kanto lang pala! Pag-kaliwa nung taxi, kita mo na agad ang Chowking! Tawa kami ng tawa ni Edil! Pati yung driver tawa ng tawa. Sabi ni Edil, ni hindi man lang namin napakinabangan yung aircon nya! Tapos sabi ko, bakit di naman nya sinabi, nilakad na lang sana namin, natawa si Manong, di din daw nya alam. Proof na comedy talaga sya ay yung fare namin – ung flag rate lang – 30 pesos! Nakakatawa kami! Since we were early, we just at Jolibee as we have taken Matthew with us (remember wala na kaming yaya :c)

And everything about him were so true. He is very humble, unassuming, and you get a feeling he has a good heart. One thing more is Edil liked him! Initially, he didn’t want to accompany me since he didn’t want to have to do anything with cake, as he considers it a “splurge”. But would you believe he was the one who even chose the design of our cake and told Alex he would be referring him to officemates about to get married too? That’s how nice Alex was. He taught us how to cut the cake, for “aesthetic” purposes and of course, we got the free cake! And we got to practice how to cut it too.

Wish ko lang sana may natira pa pag uwi ko mamaya .
Wish No.3 fulfilled!
