Invitation Box

We finally found a box supplier for our invitation. Well, technically, we already contacted A-BOX around 2 weeks ago. We just couldn't find the correct material to use. We wanted a deep red textured paper. Almost like black red. We scouted the different paper suppliers in divisoria while Farah (from A-BOX) searched in Binondo and her usual suppliers, but we couldn't find one with the correct thickness. Finally, we just decided to pick one from those we found... different shades of red, but lighter than what we originally wanted. We chose 2 and A-Box made a prototype from it. And here it is...

This is not exactly how it's gonna look like since we haven't finalized the materials inside yet. Goodness, we've still got so many things to do! Anyhoo, you get the concept. Comments and suggestions are always welcome :)

On a different note, it's my sister's birthday today. Happy birthday to the bestest-best maid-of-honor ever! We love you LA!

Let's Take a Break

We've been moving along quite well with our wedding preps, though I've not been updating this blog with our accomplishments lately. Truth is, now that we've decided to speed things up a little, I couldn't seem to find the time nor the energy to blog anymore. Well, I guess that's so much better than not accomplishing anything and having all the time to blog (in other words, complain) about it, right?

Anyhoo, I'm still not gonna tell you the stories now since it's already almost 1am and I have work tomorrow. What I just want to do now is post these pictures of Leo and Me during our trip to Avilon Zoo last Sunday. Hehehe, talk about vanity right? Well, it's our blog, so...

Let me just say that the place was lovely. It was clean and landscaped, and very rich in animals too (syempre naman, zoo nga e) -- although they don't have the big animals yet. Leo and I thought about doing our prenuptial pictorials there. We still haven't decided though. I should probably ask Lee if it's a good idea. Our original plan is to have it at Tagaytay Highlands - and we're still leaning more towards that. But it's always good to have a second plan.

Anyway, here's the link to more of our pictures in Avilon (just in case you want to see the place) -> Click Me.

Well, that's it for me tonight. Goodnight world...

Happy Anniversary Love!

It's our 7th year anniversary! Imagine that, 7 years. Has it been that long? Sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday when Leo asked me to be his girl, right there inside the karag-karag Philcoa-Lagro jeepney, on my way home from school. How UNromantic can you get, right? Hehehe... but that's just Leo. It's kinda cute actually. I also remember that first time he told me he loved me one early early morning, watching the sunrise from the steps of UP Admin building. O di ba, he can be romantic din? ;) We have so many stories and memories. 7 years. Ika nga sa "Story of Us", there's a history there. And we'll still be building more memories and adding to our story. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with Leo. I can't wait to build a family with him. I can't wait to experience life with him, embark on this journey that is new - and yet familiar, because it's him with me. I know it'll be great. We'll be great.

Haaaay... imagine that, 7 years.

I love you baby. Thanks for loving me.

Slowly Falling into Place

Met with Tish of BK and Wini, my coordinator, yesterday at Starbucks 6750 to do the detailing for the BK contract. It was a very productive meeting indeed. I must admit, I was a little worried before that BK might forget some of the things that we've discussed during our previous meetings. I know I did. Thing is, meeting with Tish and Ronald - especially Ronald - usually left me feeling, uhm, how do I say it... quite unreal and dreamy and hazy. Like my head is on the cloud full of ideas, concepts and vision, and yet nothing seems solid. Everything seems to be just floating out there. So at the end of each conceptualization and brainstorming session, I go home happy and hopeful, but not really knowing what will be delivered or not. Hahaha, I guess that's what you call trusting your supplier :D

Well, as I've said, the meeting was productive, and now I have no worries at all. I'm quite confident that BK will deliver. It's a good thing too that Wini has been involved with the BK discussions from the start. We've finally laid out the details, and I'm happy with what we've agreed on. Now I can't wait too see the final look of Villa de Oro, hehehe.

Anyhoo, we also met with Puto, a choirmate, to discuss their line up for the wedding. It was really sad that we had to set a limit to the number of singers, given the fact that they are all friends. But that can't be helped. Still, I'm sure they'll sing well even with limited singers.

Lastly, we're going food tasting with the parents later at Fernwood. Leo and I have already gone to 1 before and we're happy with the food. Now we want the family's opinion on the menu. We also want them to see Juan Carlo's set up as well. Yum yum yum :D

Yum yum yum :D
